Like I love tweaking the equalizer of my Android player before listening to my favorite songs. That way, I can set the bass the way I truly want.
Heck, I even love setting up the picture quality before watching any of my videos, for a better viewing experience…
Hey, I know that the Android device comes with a default player. But to me, I feel the player doesn’t come with those extra functions that’ll make your viewing or listening experience worthwhile.
Yes, it does not give me 100% freedom over the functions I need to tweak. So why settling for less?

Baba,
Awesome list of best Audio/Video player apps for Android . Yes, Android device comes with a default player but it doesn’t provide extra functions to watch videos and listen music the way we want.
I have used “Mx Player” and “VLC Player”, both are best Audio/Video player apps for Android. I have heard about “Lark player” for the first time and I will give it a try.
Thanks for sharing this post with us.
Have a good day.

November 24, 2018 at 6:54 amHello Babanature,
The article is very informative and drafted in the synchronized way. Nobody is unaware of the mobile application and its use. But most of people don’t know that which application is the best. Your article is giving same knowledge and reduce the unawareness. You have listed the best application which can make the work easy on the mobile.
Right now, VLC media player. but I will try rest of the app to make the best use of mobile phones. The content is superb and have the power to convince the audience.
Thanks for writing such an amazing website and make us aware about the new applications. We will wait for more informative articles like this.
