Many users report that the frequency and intrusiveness of ads make the app nearly unusable, often preventing them from accessing features.

Every single menu I clicked triggered another app. I had to watch 4 different ads to select a SINGLE file.

MX Video Player HD

Many users are unable to download videos from the internet because the app lacks a built-in browser, which was a feature in previous versions.

please add browser button because I can’t download any videos from you tube

Users are frustrated that the order of videos in their playlists is not preserved, leading to a disorganized viewing experience.

Every time I open the playlists the order changes regardless of the order.
