Simple video player app for mobile

HD Video Player is a free multimedia application for mobile coming from developer AboveForum. It is a video player app that focuses on simplicity and ease of use to let users consume various video content quickly. It boasts a minimal user interface and supports various formats.

Compared to other similar apps like VDX Player or Nova Video Player, HD Video Player takes a more reserved approach to its presentation and feature set. The whole experience is centered on watching videos quickly and easily. It does have some extra security features that prevent others from accessing and watching saved files.

Just start watching

HD Video Player is simple and minimalist, and this is apparent from the moment you open it up. The app features a dark theme with splashes of accent colors to keep in line with its clean aesthetic. It covers all the basics as far as video formats are concerned like MP4 or FLV, so you can play and watch your favorite movies and TV shows right away.

Pick a video to play and the same clean looks apply to its playback screen. Tap anywhere on the screen, and the standard previous, play/pause, and forward playback buttons will appear. Skip to any point of the video by using the seek bar at the bottom. Lastly, there are two icons for locking controls and adjusting the aspect ratio at the top left and right corners, respectively.

As mentioned earlier, the app also has an extra security feature that lets you add passwords to videos, essentially setting them to private so no one can open and view them without your permission. Aside from that, though, there really isn't anything else on offer here. Some will find this lack of more features and options too limiting for them and their needs.

As basic as it comes

In summary, if you're just looking for a way to play videos and nothing else, then HD Video Player is an option still worth considering. It's clean and simple to use, and that's it. However, if you want something feature-rich, then this won't satisfy your needs and you would be better off looking elsewhere. It's really up to you to decide.
