low-quality video app that lacks crucial features. if this were my only complaint i'd have given it 2 to 3 stars. However, it installed a program designed to enable pop-ups and ads that constantly pop up several times per minute - making it a nightmare to use the phone at all (Malwarebytes fixed this issue, fyi... ). i highly recommend avoiding this app or anything else released by it's developers.

Crashes every time I cast to TV. It was happening on my Note 8....then I switched to the S10+ and it's still doing the same thing! I can watch videos over the phone fine (that's why the 2 stars), but once I cast to my Vizio...crashes withing 5 seconds. Update: Dropped my rating to 1 star....the app is clearly broken, and getting worse ans worse. Now it won't even refresh the videos i have on my phone. And STILL can't cast without the app crashing. I go to the Help/FAQ and get an error message.

There is a serious bug in this and the paid version where for an unknown reason it fails to load specific videos from a UPnP server. Its "file info" display fails with the message "Did not manage to access". This does not happen with all files, but it certainly happens with a significant number of them. There is no pattern to the failure. There is no way to predict when it will fail to load a video. Nothing in the video name, the file permissions, or any use of special characters in the file name. It seems that random .mp4 files fail to load. It is unlikely that anyone has access to all of the videos that they are streaming from any UPnP server. The same files fail to load whether you are using a Windows- based, Linux- based, or Android based UPnP server. Until this bug is fixed, I would not recommend use of this app on any devices. Worse: I purchased the paid version and saw the same bug, then attempted to contact Archos SA for technical support. Their website offers 2 numbers, both of which go to places having nothing to do with Archos or support. The people at the tech support number are particularly rude. Use this app if you are fine with not seeing some videos.
