How about an app which allows consumers all around the world to enjoy their favourite content such as Bollywood movies and songs, the latest billboard hits in the U.S., crucial soccer game highlights in Latin America as well as longer duration content such as TV serials, movies and sports programs. Oh wait, that too without buffering. Awesome, right? Time to get your hands on the Vuclip’s mobile app.

Vuclip, the California-based mobile video streaming network that focuses its efforts mainly in emerging markets released a new update to its extremely popular Vuclip Android App.

The app represents a breakthrough combination of innovative technology and amazing content. Video loading times and frequent buffering are such a pain for the consumers. Vuclip innovative technology enables the simultaneous optimization of the content to each specific device and adapts the video stream to the constantly varying bandwidth of carriers and Wi-Fi networks.

With the new Vuclip Android app, consumers all around the world can now enjoy their favorite content such as Bollywood movies and songs, the latest billboard hits in the U.S., crucial soccer game highlights in Latin America as well as longer duration content such as TV serials, movies and sports programmes.

The app has more than 1.75 million downloads to date and already has 120,000 monthly active users consuming short and long form global and regional content and it has garnered more than 3500 reviews. The Vuclip Android app also witnessed an engagement level of approximately 95 video minutes per active user each month.

Backed by $35 Mn from the likes of NEA and SingTel, VuClip is expected to be profitable by the end of 2014, without needing to raise any more money.

Here is our take on Vuclip Android app:

  • Vuclip offers one-time search for a particular video through the popular online video search sites offering a billion of videos which is a great feature.

  • Vuclip also has offered a beautiful and well-thought-out interface.

  • The best feature is probably the Offline Viewing. Vuclip allows the user to favorite videos and watch them offline at convenience.

  •  Vuclip’s In-Player Video discovery delivers recommendations to users while viewing a video.

  •  Just shake the handset and Vuclip presents the user with a highly relevant video that is in line with user’s viewing history.

In an overall sense, Vuclip is a surely a brilliant application but the app still has to figure out a solution to cut down the problem of showing irrelevant content. The app sometimes shows dated videos that have been taken down or deleted. Even though the official site for this app aggregates results from YouTube, Flickr, and all of the other popular video search sites, the Vuclip app doesn’t search each site individually, so it doesn’t find many of the results you’re looking for.
