The fact that VLC is open-source has always been a pro, but there are others that aren't and have managed to make an app that's a bit faster and slicker. Whether or not they're better is probably up to you, but there are plenty of alternatives to VLC. There are versions of VLC for Windows, Mac, and iPhone on the VLC website. This version of VLC is for mobile phones and tablets running Android.

We didn’t notice any delays as the app worked through our commands or played our media, and it’s nice to know that if we did have any issues, VLC has bunches of resources available, all honed and perfected since they first went online in 2001(!). You won’t have any problems finding your way around the app and even the video screen (while a video is playing) has some nice custom controls that do indeed make things easy. VLC for Android remains faithful to its original color scheme but thankfully has brought its interface right up to scratch with a purpose-designed Android interface that, while not particularly cool, is intuitive and easy to use. Although you can carry out a few editing functions - like adding subtitles, audio tracks, and editing playlists, it’s primarily for reproducing, and not modifying.

Remember - VLC for Android is a video player, not an editing app. It trumps built-in video players by offering a huge degree of customizability in terms of both playback, ordering, and app settings.

VLC for Android is a well-designed, slick app that allows you to watch videos and play audio on your Android phone. This Windows classic ports perfectly to Android phones
