Client for FLV Lite 1.1.0.6
The choice in this case may be to install an all-round player, that recognizes and opens this filetype among others or go for a utility that is meant to be used specifically with Flash videos. For the latter option you can try out Client for FLV Lite, a neat app tailored to be used on the more recent handsets.
Simple looks, bent on practicality
This application offers you an uncomplicated and easy to use front-end that comes with a neat background image, while the elements of graphical design are pretty nice as well.
Moving around the various modules of the utility has a fluent feel to it, lacking any delays or other flaws and the playback is also smooth, with see-through controls.
Nonetheless, there are some annoyances to be found inside Client for FLV Lite, as there are numerous advertisements that appear everywhere, even while the videos are playing.
Some reminders that prompt you to review and rate the application will pop-up at startup and they appear from the first launch.
Select and play FLV files on the go
The Flash videos are detected automatically, as the app scans the phone as soon as you open it to put the files at your fingertips inside the main screen. The utility recognizes other filetypes as well, MKV for instance, but you will be prompted to install a different app for playing them.
In order to ensure your FLV clips are discovered and ready for playing, you have to make sure they are stored onto the attached SD card, because Client for FLV Lite cannot read the info from other locations.
Also, the items must not be inside system folders onto the card and the total number of supported files for a single directory is 50. Any number above this means you have to create another container and move some of the videos there to be able to open them.
Playing the Flash clips is done in full screen at all times, with the usual controls at hand, so there should be no issues in this respect.
Built-in local search and passcode protection
There is a cool "search-as-you-type" feature inside Client for FLV Lite, so you will be able to easily find the videos you are after in case you have many of them stored onto the SD card.
To ensure the content is kept safely and accessible only for you, the application offers you the possibility to activate the PIN code access method and setup the 4-digit pass on the spot, via the "Settings" menu.
