KMPlayer for Mac

KMPlayer for Mac is a legacy multimedia player featuring wide support for playback of multiple file formats, including all popular video and audio files utilizing modern techniques for upscaling video quality and taking advantage of hardware-accelerated rendering for reducing battery strain on modern Mac laptops.

Note: This product is not developed actively anymore.

Alternatives

VLC for Mac – A highly popular free and open-source media player that supports various media formats and offers a range of features.

QuickTime Player for Mac – A built-in media player for Mac computers that supports various media formats and offers basic playback features.

GOM Player for Mac – A versatile multimedia player app that can manage almost any audio/video format and provide easy access to advanced customization tools.

While this app has attracted considerable attention on Windows, Android, and iOS platforms where it still receives regular functionality and stability updates, the Mac version of the app was discontinued after only several BETA versions were developed. This means that Mac users who want to test out this app need to know that they are not using the most up-to-date version and that they will not be able to access all the features that this popular app has received on other supported platforms.

In addition to that, the installer app is considered to be quite invasive, promoting ads and recommendations for installing other 3rd party apps. Due to its tendency, many online platforms regard this obsolete Mac app as adware/spyware and recommend using this software only on officially supported platforms. Mac users on the other hand are recommended to download and use some other award-winning multimedia reproduction software such as VLC, GOM, and others.
