Let's be true VLC currently, at least its design, is not quite desirable if we compare it to other apps. And it will be in version 3.3 when this finally changes to have a more modern experience with an updated Material Design.
And if the version 3.2 that arrived last year yes that was at least improved In the UI, this time it seems that they want to put the accent on it to deepen this important aspect. Today thanks to the spectacular screen we can enjoy a level interface, and here is the lack of VLC. Go for it.
Complete VLC redesign
An app in need of a current design, and that it really uses great functionality as it is the Swiss army knife to be able to reproduce any type of video or audio content file. VLC is vital in a smartphone worth its salt and for that reason it is also at the same time that the design at least does not stay behind in time; just as it looks today when we open it up and start exploring our favorite video content.
La version 3.3 brings those demands to completely redesign the UI or VLC interface. Of course, we must count on the fact that the new navigation bar has already been in the beta for a few months, so it is not the greatest novelty, but it is the basis for that more modern VLC in the end.
And for those who may miss that hamburger button that can take us to the navigation panel, the bar is right now one of the elements that enriches the most interaction with an app; especially for longer mobiles like the new one Galaxy S20 FE which was announced yesterday.or how OnePlus itself has optimized the experience of the interface in OxygenOS so that we can operate our mobile with one hand.
VLC 3.3 and its details
That toolbar at the bottom of VLC takes us to the video, audio, browse, playlists tabs and a button with more elements. The dark mode has also been optimized to be all black, with the idea of offering better battery performance for those models with a Super AMOLED screen.
Is in the video playback interface where there are also some improvements, although they are not so obvious at first glance than those that we find in the exploration of files with that said toolbar.
They have also incorporated a great variety of details such as the improved subtitle download manager, track sync, AB repeat and many more. For those nostalgic for DVDs and Blu-Rays we will have the ability to return to the same place where we left it in the playback.
Also included is a new button to donate or sponsor an app that we all know is open source, but that there is a large group of developers behind working on news and updates. At the same time that some visualizations have been improved so that the app icons are vectors and the file load is minimized-
Moment VLC 3.3 has not yet reached the normal channel of Google Play Store, but we advance the APK to you so that you can enjoy its ostentatious improvements from now on. A great update for the Swiss army knife of multimedia playback from a PC or a mobile as is our case.
