Why Free has more features than PRO? - MX Player

Recently realized that MX Player PRO only hides advertisements, whereas MX Player FREE has free online videos and free online music support.
What's the point of purchasing the PRO version when more and more features are only available in FREE version. Can somebody please explain!
Screenshots attached below for reference.

I guess maybe because there are more free users than paid users and those features are not stable and optimized.
Whatever the case, as a pro user I really don't care about those things. I just want a video player, no more, and they should care to optimize the video watching experience more than add more features. Maybe they should include a switch to turn off those 'online media' if one day it comes to the pro version.

We understand your excitement to watch our exclusive online shows. However, we would like to clarify that the availability of certain new features is subject to our business decisions. Our online streaming platform is a value-added freemium service which relies on the revenue from the ads. So, it may not be feasible for us to make it completely adfree for one time Pro purchase at the moment.
The core value proposition of the Pro version is that it allows seamless viewing of your videos any ads while keeping the app lightweight with all the basic functionalities of our main app. And, we are also actively investing in building new features for the pro version as well. The development of features may take a while. Meanwhile, stay with us and show your continued support to MX.

Kinoma Play on Its Way to Being Best WinMo App Ever?

If you've previously written this app off for S2P or what have you, I suggest you check out the latest update to the software.
It's no longer JUST a media player. It's becoming more like an iPod Touch built into your WinMo phone. Check out the Facebook, Twitter and RSS apps built into it. The new like-an-iPhone-but-better interface (for the full effect, fill 4 pages of icons. Yep. Pages aren't just side-by-side, but above and below.) Plus, it has an program launcher which allows you to add your favorite apps to the home screen, along with your favorite music/video feeds and podcasts.
All it needs is a clock, weather and notifications and it's Kinoma FTW. If they take it as far as adding contacts, email and SMS, I'll never look at my today screen again.
I use a shortcut in Kinoma to iContact, another to my gmail inbox and yet another to SMS... sadly, the lack of a clock doesn't allow me to replace SPB MS3 with Kinoma, but I'd like to
Honestly, it IS the best WinMo app out there.. very very impressive.
How does it handle its core function - media? Last time I checked it out it couldn't do bookmarks well or play .avi files. Has that changed?
It's still pretty useless as a Video Player (laggy and no avi support) but for just playing music with a quick, slick repsonsive interface it's great. The added funtionality more than makes up for the lack of Video, use Coreplayer or TCMP for that. I've posted a Youtube clip on this thread of it running along side TF3D on my Touch pro 2.

Yeah, for playing back video, TCPMP / CP are still better. However, at everything else, it rocks.
Really? I have to sign up for a offer to try out this thing? No thanks.
No, you dont.

Sorry, but you are going to have to pay for the full version if you want all the features. And you are complaining that they offered you a way to get it for free? Really?
The freeplay version is FREE, no time limits, and has many of the features of the paid version. But I dont know if it has been updated like the paid version yet.
I actually used the TrialPay to get RealNetworks (yuk) to pay for my copy. I was glad I didn't have to shell out my own $30, but it would have been worth it even if I had. Photos, music, YouTube, Orb, Audible, Streaming radio, audio and video podcasts in one app. And now they added Facebook and Twitter, and an RSS reader. The program is not perfect, but its getting close.

Not yet, but soon. That update will focus more on the performance and reliability/compatibility improvements we've made to Kinoma Play rather than new features.

For anybody interested in Kinoma Play who hasn't checked out TrialPay: There's lots of different kinds of offers, so the odds a pretty good that you'll find one that's interesting for you. We've had lots of people "buy" Kinoma Play for free since we introduced it as an option, and so far it seems to be a win-win for customers.

Tried the free version quite awhile back. At the time, wasn't interested in paying $30 then. Looks more tempting now. I've also been wanting to try Audible.com, so I signed up with them via TrialPay. Waiting for the Kinoma registration, but TrialPay seems like a great idea if you can find something you're interested in "trying" out.
Charles,
Any chance of having trialpay working in China as at the moment it is not working. So hope you could look into it.
Thanks.
Hmm... The TrialPay process must be a bit delayed due to the US holiday, still waiting on the registration. Will be patient, it's a good deal.
In the mean time, loaded up the latest Freeplay version. It has improved a lot since the last time I tried it!

I paid the $30 for the full version, but to be honest I'm disappointed.
No AVI support is huge. I don't think its Kinoma's place to make a user code a video a certain way before it is played.
The app store has the same apps you can get anywhere else and most of them are not free.
The skin is not very visually appealing.
It takes to long to launch.
I think it would be good for social web apps but I don't tweet or use Facebook so, to me it's useless.
I have a music player already.
It's sits in a forgotten cab in my PC.
I already uninstalled it from my mobile device.

I paid as well, but this is easily my biggest complaint. PLEASE add avi support!
It also does not autoresume where you last listened to a playlist or folder when restarting the app. So if you quit you must remember which song you were up to(my playlist is about 2000 songs). I went back to pocketplayer.

Dear developer,
This is in my knowledge the only app to transcode the local media to Chromecast! Great job! However due to the adds casting the Chromecast renders not responsive very often. I would be glad to try one of your promo codes! Where do I enter it? No menu item in the app... If this works as expected I would be glad to spend 5 Euro for an application like yours
OK, figured it out. I used MB733T7DKLX6N1DYHGWCDMK just to make others aware. Thank you again!
I will post here my experience with your great work

to much advertisement in mx player pro v1.9.10

to much advertisement in mx player pro v1.9.10
from past couples of day
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.pro
App: MX Player Pro (1.9.10)
Manufacturer: samsung
Model: SM-G955F
Brand: samsung
Version: 7.0 (REL)
Advertisements in purchased software are an unacceptable impertinence.
Advertisements in a paid application are unacceptable.
One does not pay for a Gold/Platinum/Premium/Pro version to still be bothered and harassed with f...g advertisements. I was just about to buy this application, but after a dozen important file formats no longer being supported, placing ads in a purchased version is too much impertinences to give an author incentives for.
How much do you playing before you get advertising?
I have not received any advertising yet.
MX Player Pro is the ad-free version.
There's actually no other difference between the free and "pro", except lack of ads.
Are you SURE you paid for that version?
Are you SURE you're not infected with some malware that is putting ads in your phone?

Pro version of the MX Player 1.9.x doesn't have ad modules. So, It can't show ads.
Kindly make sure that you are using pro version.
If you are using Pro can you just press the recent button & check whether ad belongs to MX Player Pro activity or not?
We are identified that some apps that have "draw over other apps" & "usage access" permissions are showing the ads on the top of other apps. Kindly let us know if you have any such apps. We will report such apps to Google Play Team.

This is a complaint about MX Player Pro

This is a complaint, or maybe a claim. I am a bit annoying, because as a user of the MX Player Pro, I see that the free version it is 3 versions up with respect to the payment version, and the fact that the free version is always several advanced versions is what bothers me the most, because I as a user of the Pro version I ask myself: Why does the free version receive updates often while the Pro version receives updates from time to time?
For most apps that have a payment version, his version number is equal or higher with respect to the free version. So now, while the PRO version is in version 1.15.9 it is unfair to see that the free version is in version 1.18.5 or as I said at the beginning 3 versions advanced with respect to the payment version. And could bet that if this doesn't change, for when version 1.18 arrive for the pro version, the free version will already be in version 1.21 or 1.22 or perhaps in a larger number.
Perhaps I invest badly my money at MX Player Pro when I see that the developer has more preference for the users of the free version? Why is MX Player Pro always is for below MX Player Free when it comes to the version number?
It's assumed that users of a payment version of any app are the first to receive updates, but now I see that this doesn't apply for MX Player Pro. ?
I'm making an assumption here, but I think most of their effort goes to the Indian video streaming service which their app is used for in the free version. The pro version doesn't have this service, it's a player only, so it likely does not need updates as often.

Thanks for sharing your concerns.
As rightly mentioned by @Sunspark, free version of the MX Player also includes some of our regionally restricted ad-supported services and ad-modules. So, MX Player may not be updated when there is a change related to the modules that only exists on our free version. Also, some new features may initially land on the free version so that we can monitor the stability issues and get it fixed before releasing them to our paid users. However, we will eventually merge all local player-related features to the Pro version once they reach stable level.
I have a question, why mx player Pro is not using Android 10 media controls in notification panel.
Please use the new media controls.
