Amazon Cloud Drive integration, 3D Touch support and more come to nPlayer
The popular media player app nPlayer has just received a significant update on iOS, thereby gaining a number of notable features and enhancements.
All-in player
Launched in July 2012, nPlayer is a great alternative to the likes of VLC and Infuse.
With its non-encoding and conversion-free playback, you need not worry about the formats of the media you want to play in the app, as it supports: MP4, MKV, TP, MOV, AVI, WMV, ASF, FLV, OGV, RMVB, and more for video files; MP3, WAV, WMA, FLAC, APE, and more for audio files; and DTS (DTS HD) and Dolby (AC3, E-AC3) codecs.
The app also lets you watch and download videos on the Web using its built-in Web browser. Moreover, you can connect the app wirelessly to Chromecast or a smart TV to watch on a bigger screen.
Amazon Cloud Drive integration
Cloud sync is also included in nPlayer’s impressive feature set.
