  Does what I want it to, but...

  ...it caused my PC to freeze up. I guess there's a first time for everything. My 2014 MBA hasn't frozen up until today. I opened App Store to look for some crossword games, and looked at the reviews for one. When I tried to expand one, everything froze. I tried all of the standard remedies: Command-Q, Command-Option-Esc, holding down the power button and clicking Shut down when prompted...nothing workked...until a few minutes had passed, then a dialogue box appeared, asking me to rate MX Player. This box didn't look like PC. I closed it, and everything unfroze. I restarted my Windows--and here I am. I installed MX because I wanted something that would open old .wmv files without having to convert them. It does that. But I find the prompts to rate your app annoying. And in this case, I would rate it as more than just annoying.

  Looks great and works flawlessly so far

  I'd developed a hatred of my old - and now former - VLC player that borders on the pathological. And today was the day it decided to finally die a long-overdue death, so I went on the hunt for a replacement...and found this. The thing that struck me right away - besides the fact that it didn't crash upon opening a few times before begrudingly playing the video, badly - was that MKPlayer made a video I've seen several tims look amazing - at least, the best I've ever seen this file look. So thanks, y'all!

  Support Unavailable - Cannot Control TV Playback

  MKPlayer was purchased to allow us to stream files to an LG TV. Being able to test the app was a nice feature before comitting to purchase. The app was purchased once we coudl sucessfully steam to the TV. It appears this is using the Miracast feature, similat to AirPlay, to acomplish this. Once we started streaming the move we learned 2 flaws. 1. I am unable to move backward or forward in the file being played. This does not work within the app on the computer nor does it work using the remote or on-screen controls on the TV. Inability to fast forward or rewind is a huge omission and it should be noted by the company before they allow th app to be purchased. 2. The second problem is that you cannot contac the comapny for support. Using the Support, Help or Report a Problem choices in the app takes you to the same FAW page on their site. The FAQ directs you to use the in-app options for support if the FAQ cannot answer your question. This is cruel joke to play on a inflexbile dude who just need to get a yoga video cued to the right spot so his girlfiend can laugh at him. The app business model of selling half baked programs, preventing access to actual support and hiding it all behind the impersonal app store is a complete crock. We all desereve better.

  Simple UX with Quality Big Screen Playback

  Needed to play an MKV on my Samsung 65" TV. VLC & one other player I already had played it fine but I felt the quality lacked when cast to the big screen. Streaming through MKPLayer was surprisngly visually smoother and clearer than the other apps and the simple, two clicks to get it there is exactly what a modern Windows app experience should be. I love the ease of use of my Microsoft TV and Airplay for most of my videos. Now I have a way that's just as simple to stream anything those don't natively support. Nice work.

  It's okay...

  Yes, it plays videos. But I do have a few issues with it. First, it is difficult to go backward and forward through a video. Second, if you have the video full screen and you go to reduce it from full screen (not minimize, just go to a smaller size) the video shuts off. Then you have to open it again and try to find your place, because it starts over. Also, the same thing happens sometimes when you bring another app to the forefront. It doesn't always happen, it's inconsistant. I hope the company making the app sees this review and is able to address these issues.
