Other features, like audio and video cropping, are locked behind KMPlayer’s three
subscription packages
. It offers a
three-day free trial
, but you need to select your preferred plan first. Once expired, you will be charged for your selected package.
A suite of features at your fingertips
Whether you own a device with an Android version newer or older than Android 13, the
required and optional permissions
for KMPlayer - All Video Player are the same. There is only one required permission, and that is to let the media app access your
device’s storage
. The optional ones, on the other hand, include permissions for notifications,
pop-up play
, and user authentication.
What’s more, this
multimedia
player is
integrated with
YouTube
, allowing you to search and watch videos to your heart’s content without opening said video-sharing app. It’s important to remember that the videos will
not include
their respective
upload dates and comments
. Not to mention, some
descriptions
—particularly longer ones—are
cut off
. Since the app is missing a “More” button, you can’t read them in full.
There’s also the option to watch videos
using a URL
—just copy the link and it will be automatically pasted on the search bar. One caveat of this feature, though, is that
some links
will trigger a
“Media can not be played”
notification. That aside, the app also boasts a subtitle customization option and a button for watching content in
locked landscape or portrait
orientation.
A must-try despite the drawbacks
Overall, KMPlayer - All Video Player is a one-of-a-kind app that not only plays a wide variety of media file formats, it also comes packed with practical features—such as subtitle customization, YouTube integration, bookmarking, and the like. While a great alternative to VLC and other players, it’s not perfect. For example, some links will cause an error or you can’t read longer descriptions on YouTube videos.
