Subtitles that just work
Search OpenSubtitles from inside the player, or import a file from your phone. Nudge the timing if it’s early or late. Then set the size and position once, and every video uses them.

01 — The player
Everything within a thumb’s reach.

Your buttons, your way
Drag any button to another bar. The one already there moves to its old spot.
It remembers
Where you stopped, and each video’s own speed, audio track and subtitles.
Big screen, small effort
Cast to Chromecast or Android TV. Keep watching in a pop-up window, or keep listening in the background.
Sleep timer & seek previews
See a picture of the scene as you drag through a video, and let it stop by itself when you drift off.
Every screen shape
Best fit, fill, stretch, 16:9, 4:3 or pinch to zoom. There’s a lock for little hands, and an orientation button that turns with you, or doesn’t.
02 — More than a player
A whole media kit in one app.
Music, network drives, phone-to-computer transfers and a set of web tools, all in the same glass style.
Music, with lyrics
Switch the home page to Music: songs, albums, artists, folders and playlists, with lyrics that follow the song line by line.
Network folders
Play straight from your computer or storage drive over SMB, FTP, SFTP, WebDAV or NFS. No copying needed.
Wi-Fi transfer
Scan a QR code on your computer and move videos between it and your phone over your own Wi-Fi. No cable, no cloud.
Stream links
Paste a video link or a live stream and watch it right away.
Browser with ad blocking
A tabbed browser with bookmarks and history. It blocks ad servers on websites, with ad lists you choose.
Downloads & torrents
A download manager that keeps going in the background, and a torrent client for files you have the right to share.

05 — Questions
Good to know.
Is VIEW free?
Yes. It has no ads, no subscriptions and no paid features.
Which phones does it work on?
Android 8.0 or newer, on 64-bit phones, which covers almost every phone sold in recent years.
Why can’t VIEW see my subtitle files?
Newer versions of Android only let apps see subtitle files in folders you allow. Go to Settings › Subtitles › Allow a folder and pick the folder with your videos. Any subtitle file in it will then show up in the player’s Import tab.
Do I need an OpenSubtitles account?
No. You can search and download a few subtitles a day without one. A free OpenSubtitles account raises the daily limit, and you can connect it in Settings › Subtitles.
Something doesn’t work. How do I tell you?
Open Settings › Send feedback. Your message goes out through your own email app, and you choose whether to attach a diagnostic log. You can also write to wargxp@gmail.com.
