No app required! And it works.

works and does NOT need an app. I plugged it in and it worked the first time. Aha! (I haven't had as much success with other products.) I often buy CDs from the library and have no problem listening to them and playing them through my blue tooth speaker. This gives me the opportunity to listen to the entire CD and then decide if I want to add it to my music library. I wish the cable was longer and more flexible so I can move the external drive further away from my MAC book. (For this reason Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • dubious purchase for older people

Two thumbs up! Easy 5 star rating. Let's start with .

Yes, it's very easy to set up (open box and plug into USB 3.0 port) and use (supplied with downloaded driver). I rarely, very rarely, give a product 5 stars, but the underrated Sonkir DVD/CD etc more than deserves it. As usual, I tested Sonkir and verified that it executes all declared functions. Results: Sonkir external CD (the box only says CDs, but also DVDs). Most impressive is his speed. I was hoping that its speed would come close to that of the built-in DVD player/recorder. It left meโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Doesn't play all DVDs

I bought this product to play on my Lenovo Yoga and wanted to play workout DVDs. It plays regular DVD movies (on our HP laptop) but would like to change the resolution settings on smaller devices like my Yoga. It doesn't play training videos like a standard DVD player, so you just know what you want to play with this device. It's "kind of" plug and play. You don't need any additional software, but it doesn't just appear like you can press play. It was a bit more than "plug and play" what Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Has disadvantages

With so many to choose from.

I looked at the reviews when I was looking for this DVD player: I just got my MacBook Air and the reviews said it works with Mac , boots for the first time, no crazy special software or connections required. In fact, I got it, loaded the DVD to play, and the icon appeared right on my screen! Everything WORKS: play, pause, rewind, etc.! Excellent price. If you're wondering which one to buy (there are so many to choose from), this one really works!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Totally dissatisfied

I bought this DVD player and it didn't work right away. I called tech support and the guy got remote access to my laptop and we spent 45 minutes on the phone trying to troubleshoot the issue. It didn't work and he had a new one sent to me. The new one worked for a movie and now it doesn't work. When I insert a regular old DVD, it makes a very scary sound. My laptop requires an additional prompt for the device to recognize the disc as a DVD and not something else. It then plays my movie forโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Price piggy bank

Definitely Plug and Play

Since my laptop didn't come with a DVD burner I bought this unit to add that capability. The product is well designed and very easy to use. I just plugged it into a USB port and was able to play and record on a Windows 10 computer without any additional drivers or software. My only minor complaint is that the USB cable has to be bent back from the storage to connect. This tended to prevent the DVD player from laying flat. Adding a stick to the legs to raise them 1/16 inch solved this problem.

Pros
  • Well done
Cons
  • Long time

Tolerances can be slightly adjusted

Good price. I needed something to read my music CDs because my external hard drive wasn't working with the backup and it held my collection of over 100 digital CDs. My current computer does not have a built-in CD drive. Everything is fine with this device, except that sometimes it is difficult to close it. The lip on the drawer hangs too low when open and when you try to close the drawer it won't close. does not close properly because it hangs a little. To close it you have to fiddle with itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Coefficient set
