“This is my favorite PalmOS program of all time and here's why"
— TreoCentral

“Kinoma Player 4 EX's robust video capabilities will only enhance its appeal to mobile media mavens - that is, if having the best streaming audio solution for the Palm OS somehow isn't appealing enough. 4.5 out of 5 stars.”
— PalmInfocenter

“The Kinoma Player 4 EX is one of the most exciting new applications for Treo phones and Palm PDA's.

It's a powerful media player that streams and plays audio and video content from the Web onto your phone. It comes with a comprehensive media guide that lets you quickly find and listen to thousands of radio stations. It plays MP3's Windows Media 9, Flash Video, and MPEG-4 files, and has a built in photo album to display your images.

While it works best with Treos with 3G connection speeds (700 models) and Palm PDAs with Wi-Fi connectivity, I've been using it with my slower Treo 650 as a radio, listening to stations from around the world, and it works perfectly.”
— Phil Baker, The Daily Transcript

“Kinoma Player 4 EX is simply the single most feature-rich, entertaining, well thought-out, best supported and powerful PalmOS media player I have ever seen or used”
