AllPlayer

AllPlayer is a very rudimentary approach to media playback, sporting the most basic controls that such an application needs to call itself a player.
Most modern player sport a rich feature set that attracts the audience, competing for the attention of users by arranging for a comfortable, yet professional media playback environment. We’re going to be straightforward from the beginning and tell you that’s not the case of AllPlayer.
This is one of the most simplistic players we’ve ever seen throughout our experience, consisting of a very poor array of features that even beginners will be disappointed in.
The design of the main window is plain, hosting just a few buttons that allow you to control the playback process, but with very little functionality compared to what such an application should offer.
You’ve got controls for play, pause, resume, stop, as well as a seeker that allows you to move freely between the video frames and an option to adjust the volume.
There are no menus, therefore adding a media file into the main window is made possible via a button (drag and drop is not supported). The dialog that allows you to select the video or audio file doesn’t make it clear what types of files are supported by the player, so you’ll just have to guess.
The developer specifies that media support includes formats such as AVI, DAT, MP4, DivX, XviD, ASF, WMV, OGG and MP3, as well as DVD and VCD content. This is partly true, since we were not able to play DVD discs.
Another discomfort comes from the fact that each time you press the ‘Pause’ button, a window with ads opens, diverting you from the actual application.
All things considered, we think AllPlayer doesn’t meet the requirements of today’s audience, turning the media experience into an irritating and inconvenient process.
