What is VLC for Android?

VLC for Android is a fairly popular and completely free open-source multimedia player that works well on a variety of platforms. We will not lie if we declare with all responsibility that there is no material that this product from the Videolabs studio cannot handle – it is truly “omnivorous”, correctly reproducing music, videos, streaming video and other content (MKV, MOV, AVI formats , MP4, Ogg, TS, FLAC, M2TS, AAC, Wv and so on), which sometimes other players cannot handle.

The most interesting thing is that you don’t have to download anything additional, because the entire set of necessary codecs is included in the VLC for Android application by default. After installation and first launch, the program automatically scans the mobile device’s memory and sorts files into categories, presenting them to the user in a conveniently structured form. The player settings panel allows you to achieve the desired result in a matter of seconds, and the playback process itself is invariably smooth and amenable to gesture control (brightness, volume, rewind).

The VLC for Android product also fully implements work with subtitles – if necessary, the user will only have to indicate the path to the required file or download it from the global network, using the list of suggested sources. You can rant about the functionality and capabilities of this player forever, but it’s better to install it once and test everything yourself – after that you won’t even look in the direction of other programs.
