VERY annoying feature with this app

This app would be great if it werent for one small feature that bugs me so badly. Every time I tap the screen when watching a video it pauses it rather than bringing up the HUD options which means I have to click it, accidentally pause it, click the screen like five times to reset it then replay video every time I want to search for another video while the current one plays in background or just check the time or how long the video has left. Its SUPER annoying. Please fix it
