Editorial team and content policy
Every guide on this site is written by the people who build PurePlay, tested on a real device, and updated when Android changes.
How our content is produced
- Written by practitioners. Articles come from the same people who work on the player's decoding, subtitles and library code. When a guide recommends a setting, it is a setting the app actually has.
- Tested on devices. Format claims are verified by playing real files — camera footage, downloaded releases, ripped audio — on current Android versions. Where a result depends on the device, we say so.
- Updated, not abandoned. When a new Android version changes how permissions, media access or background playback work, the affected guides are revised and the update date is changed.
- No hidden incentives. We do not accept payment for reviews or rankings. When a page links to our own app, that is stated plainly.
Corrections
If a guide is wrong, we want to fix it. Write to [email protected] with the page and the problem. Corrected pages show a new "last updated" date.
Independence
PurePlay is an independent project and is not affiliated with VideoLAN or any device manufacturer. The site is funded by advertising, never by paid placement in editorial content. See the privacy policy for how advertising works here.
