The VLC Android App is unusable since an update earlier this year. Any plans to fix that? I reverted to an older version and would like to come aboard again once the bugs are fixed & bad UI decisions corrected. There was plenty of feedback on the playstore to act on and there was at least one bug fix release, but current reviews are still negative :/
