We all use our Android smartphone or tablet to watch movies and TV shows but sadly, the stock Android media player app cannot support the codecs that high resolution videos use. The KMPlayer app for Android promises to fix exactly that.

As with the popular KMPlayer app on the desktop, users will no longer have to wait long hours to convert high resolution videos in a particular format to watch them on their phone. This means that KMPlayer will basically run any video formats you throw at it, thanks to support for a wide range of codecs. So all you have to do is copy the desired video file onto your smartphone or tablet’s internal storage and let the app do the rest.

Despite the availability of apps such as MX Player and VLC (beta) in the Play Store, KMPlayer is a must try for the amount of options it brings to the table. I’ve been a long time user of MX Player prior to this, but this app has certainly changed my mind.

Head over to the Play Store link below to find the complete list of supported file formats and codecs, and check the app’s other features including gesture controls, subtitle support and playback speed adjustment. KMPlayer is a free download much like any other media player app out there, so make sure you give it a try.
