The story of SHAREit is a unique one. Once an app that was considered bloatware, SHAREit now has a mass following in various countries and is often depicted as an example of ‘marketing done right’. But it seems that the company refuse to rest on their laurels.
SHAREit technologies recently launched a new app on the Google Play Store called ‘S Player’. While it is true that the Play Store has no dearth of video players, the S Player intends to offer something more.
The app, currently on version 1.0.8_ww is compatible all the way down to Gingerbread (V2.3). With the use of a minimalist design, S Player intends to enchant its audience with easy to use controls and enables you to protect (hide) your files, preventing privacy leaks. Check out the full Feature list of the app below:
SHAREit S Player features
- Video Scanning Capabilities
- Various Gesture Controls
- Healthy Mode (Eye protection)
- Smart and Convenient
- Real-time Sync
- Privacy Protection
- HD Display
- Ad-free
While the app may not have anything new or radical to offer, it is completely free and contains no ads whatsoever. This alone gives it a positive review in my books. How the app wishes to compete against giants like VLC Player, MX Player and Kodi among others, remains to be seen as of yet but with a few updates and addition of features like HW and SW Encoder support, who knows, may be the app can pull a rabbit out of its hat after all.
