How To Make Any Video Play Perfectly On Your Smartphone

Playing videos on a phone or tablet can be frustrating and difficult, but there are a few tools and apps around to ease the pain. Here's how to make sure your videos always play smoothly and as intended on your mobile devices.

Start watching Netflix or something downloaded from iTunes and you shouldn't see any problems whatsoever.
