MX Player

What MX Player does

MX Player is an Android video player for watching stored videos with flexible playback controls and broad format support. It suits people who want more control than a basic gallery player provides, especially when subtitles, high-resolution files, or different device hardware are involved.

Playback tools

• Hardware- and multi-core decoding can help the app handle demanding video files more smoothly on compatible devices.
• Subtitle support covers formats such as SSA, ASS, and WebVTT, with controls for subtitle timing and movement during playback.
• Pinch-to-zoom, seeking, brightness, and volume gestures let viewers adjust playback without repeatedly opening settings.
• Kids Lock helps prevent accidental taps or interruptions when a child is watching.

Who it suits

MX Player is a practical choice for viewers with varied video collections, subtitle-heavy content, or phones that need efficient decoding. Its file-oriented layout also makes sense for users who prefer to browse local videos directly rather than rely on a streaming catalogue.

Standing in the category

In Video Players & Editors, MX Player has a 4.24 rating from more than 13.8 million reviews and has passed 1 billion installs. Those figures place it among the category’s most established players. The app is developed by Amazon Mobile LLC.
