[App Review] musiXmatch - Best Music Player with Lyrics

Android Play Store is full of choices and is always expanding. One similar great application is musiXmatch which has a wide range of features to replace your default music player.

musiXmatch comes in free version with ads, although ads can be removed by paying a token of thanks. It comes with various advance features besides the must have features for any Android music player.



First most important feature is Lyrics support and it does a good job in finding lyrics even for Hindi and Punjabi songs I tried, even it was able to fetch lyrics for songs with bad names and missing information. Overall these is the best lyrics supporting music player I have came across.

It also supports floating lyrics so that you can get lyrics with another music players like PowerAMP, Play Music, etc along with option for lockscreen. It can also fix song meta data and album art making your music library more beautiful.

Theres also shazam like music ID feaature, Lyrics Cast through Chromecast, Karoke, and Android Wear support too. Overall these is one in all feature packed Android Music Player and if lyrics is your requirement these is probably best Music Player to support lyrics.

Five Best Browsers On Android for making your Internet experience delightful

Yesterday we took a look on Top 5 Android Video Players and today we discuss some of the best Android Web Browsers. Stock Android Web Browser was very advanced but with introduction of Chrome it was gradually replaced by it. Chrome is the World's most used Web Browser and its from Google. So lets find out the Top 5 Web Browsers and today we won't be ranking as one way or other most people have their favorites in case of browser due to their preferences.

#Chrome for Android

Chrome is one of the best browser with a single bar at top for URL and Search. It also can excellent tab interface and is quiet easy to use. One can easily swap tabs just by sliding fingers on URL bar. Private aka Incognito browsing is also present on Chrome and easy syncing of all your bookmarks from PC version to your phone is another major advantage.

Though Chrome is very good browser it takes lots of resources moreover it struggles on low end devices and as Google moved to WebM and HTML5 there is no support for flash on droid version.

#Dolphin Browser

Dolphin Browser is one of the most functional and oldest browser on Android. It supports lots of plugins and makes the work easier. It runs on same webkit version as stock android browser so functionality remains same and it does support flash but adobe has pulled Adobe Flash Player from Play Store but you can always sideload apps on Android. Dolphin browser has neat and clean interface and has tabs like chrome desktop on smartphones too making it real easy to switch tabs.

On the negative dolphin browser is bundled with various services you would find unuseful and takes it isn't the fastest browser on                                                       Android.

#Opera and Opera Mini

Opera and Opera Mini are different browser from same company so they are presented together. Opera Mini is data efficient web browser for faster browsing of web on slow and limited data connection. Thats it about it as its not full fledged version like all other browsers.

Opera Browser on the other hand is full fledged web browser with off-road mode for data saving and speedier browsing on limited or slower data connection. Interface is more similar to stock and chrome browser and it loads pages faster than all other competition though our next contender is trying to level up by each update.

#UC Browser

UC Browser is amongst the few browsers to support resume and pause of download. UC Browser with server compression technique not only saves data but time and provide rich user experience. With he latest update it even got optimized to deliver higher download speed in downloads too making it the only browser to do so.

UC Browser interface is bit cartoonish and is not that minimalistic as its competitor but it gets the job done which is more important.

Other Mentions

Firefox, Maxthon and Pop Up browser are worth trying.

Which is the Best Video Player App on Android??? Here is Top 5 Video Players on Android.

Stock Android Video Players are very capable and good but users always want more from their Smartphone than what manufacturers bundle in the package so lets find out some of the Best Video Player.

1] Mx Player


Undoubtedly one of the best android video player with support for almost every video codec thats present in the world, Easy to Use control, Simple user interface, subtitles support and lots more make MX Player the best android video player.

There is also a lock feature so that you can hand over phone to kids and nothing gets pressed overall this is the first app I install this on every smartphone I own.

2] Dice Player


Dice Player is similar to MX Player but has certain added features like faster video playback just like in VLC player for PC's though i comes second our list because MX Player UI and simplicity are more appealing.

Overall this video player comes in rescue when I need to watch TV shows. I download them from Youtube using Tubemate and watch them at 1.3x speed which saves my time.

3] mVideoPlayer

mVideoPlayer has certain flaws like it can only play the formats your device supports by default and unlike MX Player or Dice Player doesn't have Software decoding other than these it is one fine app.

It can look up on opensubtitles.org and IMDb for movie subitles and information respectively making your movie watching experience delightly moreover it can be themed just like VLC for PC's.

4] VPlayer

VPlayer is true MX Player alternative with similar features and interface it also is amongst the best application you can use for video playback but the main problem is it is not free and comes in a 7 days trial version while ads version of MX Player comes free. 

If you are ok for paying for apps then these can be one of the best video player for your device.

5] Real Player

Its interface is still old school Gingerbread but it certainly is one of the best All-In-One Media Player for your droid with Music Player, Radio, Video and photos in one place there's nothing else a user can ask for.

So these were the Top 5 video playing application on Android if you feel some other apps are more worthier then our contender do let us know through your valuable comments.
