GOM Player

Gom Player is a full-featured media player that's designed to support a massive number of different codecs. It does so without requiring the user to install multiple dependencies after they have the app already installed. Since it uses the onboard video memory included with your mobile device, you won't have to mess with any outside configuration settings to get it running.

When you play a video file with the Gom app, you'll be given the option of automatically searching through a huge database of subtitles. This can help when watching foreign language content, since it provides subtitles in multiple languages. Those who plan on watching videos with the sound turned down can even let Gom Player automatically display subtitles whenever necessary, thus taking all of the guesswork out of the process.

At times, you might experience screen tearing when playing videos with a significant amount of action. While this is more of a hardware problem than a software one, it might annoy some users. Considering the sheer number of file forms Gom Player supports, however, you might be willing to overlook this. It plays all of the standard video formats, including some proprietary ones like WMV and MOV.

On top of this, it supports countless audio formats that makes it useful for those who consume podcasts on a regular basis. Those who want to play MP3, OGG WAV and FLAC files containing audio will be able to do so without being forced to watch any kind of visualization. That alone may make some users give Gom Player a try.
