BSPlayer FREE version is ad-supported video player. BSPlayer full version without advertisements with added functionality is available on Google Play.

Are there in App ads ?: Yes, rather annoying actually.

A. Ease Of Use: 4/5 – Super easy to use and set up. But you most have a media file to view to see the full BSPlayer (GUI) Graphical User Interface.

B. Security: No impact to smart phone or tablet security

C. Usefulness: 5/5 – Extremely useful and very easy to use. It has many useful features that can be used. It is one of the most user friendly and wide ranging use of different types of compatible useful media file types.

D. Smart phone Slowdown: Depends on the Smart phone. But I noticed that there can be some serious lag. This lag can be minimized if your file is on your SDHD card. Instead of streaming it or running it off of a USB device.

E. Tablet Slow Down: No lag, that I noticed.

F. Type Of User I Would Recommend To Use This App: I recommend this app to anyone who wants to play media files. Video files in particular without having to look for a bunch of different codecs or worrying about downloading a virus.
