Play .Mov on Android
Try the built in player: The great thing about Android is that it's an open source app, and as such, a lot of Android Apps seem to be built with compatibility at the forefront of the collective dev. mind. Additionally, the Android operating system is very similar to the Mac and Linux OS. What this means for anyone with an Android device such as a Galaxy phone or tablet, is that it's usually pretty easy to find software which is compatible with file formats for devices running on iOS or Windows. If you just want to play a '.mov' file, before you download anything, just try opening the file with the existing multimedia players. There is a good chance one of them will do it for you out of the box…. But if not:
BSPlayer (FREE)
Despite its unfortunate sounding name, BSPlayer has been well reviewed overall. It supports a large range of formats, including '.mov'. As well as the standard free version there is a version specially built for ARM processors (often the 'Cinderella of Android devices, when it comes to App availability). The free version has less functionality than the paid, and is supported by ads.
BSPlayer Pro (PAID): Offers the same features as the free version without the ads, and with a number of extra features, including hardware-software tweaks such as a customisable audio amplification capable of up to 500% original audio and support for audio headsets, Bluetooth keyboards etc.
