RealPlayer

Play and manage video across devices

RealPlayer is a video player for Android from RealNetworks LLC. It suits people who watch videos stored on their phone and those who also use RealPlayer on a PC. The app can play local videos, stream from a PC or RealPlayer Cloud, and cast phone videos to a larger screen using Chromecast or AirPlay.

Phone and PC library access

With the same sign-in on a phone and PC, users can access their RealPlayer PC library remotely and transfer videos between devices. The app also supports syncing videos for offline viewing and backing them up to RealPlayer Cloud. These connected features make it more useful for people already using RealPlayer on a computer than for someone looking only for a basic local player.

Playback and file controls

RealPlayer includes playback speed controls, folder browsing and selection of multiple files. A dark mode is available for the app interface. Cloud access and PC connection features depend on signing in; they are separate from simply playing a video saved on the phone.

Some cloud and remote-access options are offered through in-app subscriptions. Consider whether those connected services fit your needs if you are comparing RealPlayer with a player focused solely on files stored on your device.
