VIEW movies and series It is surely one of the activities that we do most frequently on our tablets, and more now than with the vacation, they can become a fantastic replacement for the television, either during the journey itself by car, plane or train, or later at our destination, on the beach or in a swimming pool, for example. To take the experience to the maximum, we already recommended this weekend some of the best multimedia tablets that can be achieved today, but regardless of the device we use, there is another fundamental factor that is always within our best reach, and that is none other than the video player. So that there is no room for excuses of any kind, in addition, among the best that we have available both in the App Store as in Google Play We have chosen 7 free: 3 that can be found in both, 2 specific to Android and 2 others specifically for iOS.
VLC
We start with the most obvious recommendation: VLC, a video player that has always been considered one of the best, if not the best, for PC and that we can also enjoy on mobile devices. Among its virtues is to support all kinds of formats, including, of course, the most common MKV, MP4 or AVI, but also less frequent ones such as FLAC or M2TS, with all the codecs included and without the need for additional downloads. Nor can we fail to mention that it allows us to handle multiple audio tracks and subtitles.
wonder share player
wonder share player is another option that is worth taking into account thanks to a very special feature: the usual functions of any video playback (all of which it covers with solvency, with support for a wide variety of formats, for subtitles and for streaming) it unites an additional service that allows us discover new videos that may interest us, which makes it an ideal alternative for those moments in which we simply are not very clear about what we want to see, a bit like putting on the TV just to see what there is.
Rock Player 2
Rock Player 2 is probably the best option for those who spend so much time on films as the music and who prefer to have it all in a single application, which fulfills both functions perfectly, reproducing a wide variety of formats in both cases. It also has a feature that can be especially interesting to those of you who use a device iOS and other Android, for example, since it allows share files between one platform and another in a simple way.
BSPlayer
We now deal with one of the exclusive applications for users of Android that we had promised you, because BSPlayer It is a high quality video player that deserves to be mentioned in this compilation even though iPad users will not be able to enjoy it. As the MX Player has multi-core decoding, which significantly improves its performance, but also allows the background playback and it has some interesting little services, like helping us to search subtitles.
MX Player
Despite its popularity on other platforms, the MX Player has managed to forcefully surpass VLC in popularity on mobile devices, which is already a very good sign. How did you do it? Well, with a few very interesting features, such as a fantastic integration of controls and gestures, a specific mode for children so they can watch movies without fiddling with the controls and with a powerful multi-core decoding that takes advantage of processors with more cores to offer better performance.
infuse 3
The first specific recommendation for users of iOS it cannot be other than Infuse, one of the video players best rated in the App Store, which is now in its third edition and has the added bonus of having a interface which is one of the most attractive of the entire selection. Another good news is that, unlike its predecessors, this latest version can be downloaded free, although it must be taken into account, on the not so positive side, that in this case the in-app purchases They are important and we may need some of them to get the most out of it.
KMPlayer
We close with another hugely popular application among users of iOS, which does not have very spectacular functionalities, but which fulfills its mission very efficiently, with a simple and intuitive interface, good gesture controls and support for all types of formats. Above all, it is worth bearing in mind that, unlike what happens with Infuse 3 (or with its predecessors, although by other means) we will not have to pay anything to access any of its features.
