Subtitles that just work
Search subtitles 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.

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 and music 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.
03 — Make it yours
Nine colours. Or a surprise.
Choose a colour and all of VIEW changes with it: the glowing background, the glass, the buttons, even the icon on your home screen. In the app, tap VIEW at the top for a surprise colour. Try it here, this page follows along.

04 — Privacy
Your videos stay yours.
VIEW has no account. Apart from anonymous usage statistics (which sections are opened, never your files; you can switch them off), the app sends nothing about you to us. The online features talk directly to the service you use, and only when you use them. We hear from you only if you email us.

05 — Questions
Good to know.
Is VIEW free?
Yes. It has 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?
In VIEW, open Settings › Send feedback. Your email app opens with your message, VIEW’s version and your phone model filled in, and you just tap Send. For a playback problem, first turn on Settings › Others › Diagnostic log, play the video, then turn it off. The saved log can then be attached in Send feedback. You can also write to [email protected].
