Features:

The Mizuu movies app synchronizes your video library with the database at IMDB. The app starts by automatically detecting all movies in your phone. Once the library is updated, the app syncs information from IMDB. Consequently, you get movie reviews, actor information, movie rating, plot, movie posters in your device. It even allows you to watch the movie’s trailer on YouTube. In case the app pulls information about the wrong movie, correcting the mistake is very easy.
The app can just be used for managing data. It does not act like a media player and does not actually play the video. In order to watch the movie, a separate player has to opened. The app supports a wide range of file formats ranging from .mpeg to .ts. The free version lets you keep limited number of movies in your database and does not allow a lot of customization. The paid version, which costs you around $1.15, gives you more leverage to change the background and theme to your liking.
The app requires Android 3.0 and up and takes up to 1.4MB of your device’s space.

Ease of use:

Once the app is downloaded and set up in your device, it pretty much takes over and does all the work for you. Media files are automatically detected and synced with IMDB. Correcting errors is also pretty simple. The interface is colorful and simple. The home screen shows stacked posters of all the movies in your database. The app also gives you options of different video players with which you can play your movie.

Verdict:

The app has limited use as all it essentially does is provide details and posters for movies you already have in your database. The app does not even play the movies and thus falls short of being a good media player. The developers should consider adding a video player to the app. The app is useful for people who have a large database of movies and prefer to keep it organized.
