The App Store is bursting at the seams with shiny, new apps that will upgrade your iPhone for little or no money. It's time for you to improve your mobile experience and make your life easier.
Here are my must-have app picks for your iPhone:
nPlayer
nPlayer gives you the ultimate video player experience. This app developed by Newin, Inc. has an easy control-UI that supports several video formats and codecs without file converting. Yes, no more wasting valuable time converting cool videos from your friends.
This high-quality performance app allows users to play files that Apple products generally don't play. For video files, a few supported types include MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WMV, ASF, FLV, OGV, and RMVB. As for audio files, nPlayer can play MP3, WAV, WMA, and FLAC.
Love to watch foreign films? nPlayer also handles subtitles better than other apps. It supports SMI, SRT, SSA, SUB, and LRC subtitle formats. With its built-in WebDAV client, you can stream and download media files.
The app is also easy to navigate. With a fingertip, you can adjust the playback position, move to previous and next subtitle positions, and control volume and brightness. Simply double tap to use the play/pause feature, and drag on the subtitles themselves to change their size and location.
Stop being told what formats you can and cannot enjoy. nPlayer is a great tool to watch your favorite TV shows and songs. Don't miss out on this great app. Download nPlayer now.
