VLC for Android 3.3 comes with bottom navigation bar, black theme, redesigned video player, and more

Earlier this year in March, the developers behind the popular VLC media player released VLC 3.3.0 beta for Android. The beta update introduced a completely redesigned UI with a bottom navigation bar, better support for Android’s gesture navigation, and several new UI tricks and animations to make the app feel more native. Now, the developers have started rolling out VLC 3.3 on the Play Store, which brings all of these changes and more to the stable channel.

As per a recent blog post, VLC 3.3 for Android brings a new UI that’s more in line with Google’s Material Design specifications and it features a bottom navigation bar for easier access to the controls. The dark mode in the app has been improved to display a completely black theme and the app icon has also been updated. The audio player has also been updated to show the overall progress of your play queue, while the video player has been redesigned to give it a more modern look.

The lock player feature in the video player has also been improved and you can now lock your orientation from the controls or lock the whole screen from the advanced options.

For instance, you’ll now be able to display all of the browsing screens in a list instead of a grid to get a more compact view on your TV. DVD and Blu Ray support have also been improved, and the app will now save your current progress while playing such media.
