  • Missing a few features

    It works very well overall but it’s 1) Missing the ability to cast 2) Having a manual button to enable Picture-in-Picture. You can enable an automatic option but it’s not ideal because it’s enabled for all apps, not just Outplayer.

    If these could be implemented, that would be great please! Thank you

  • Quality Video Player

    Very stable and plays videos without any issues. Subtitles supported which I love! Highly recommended!
  • Oh my god it renders subtitles so well

    With fancy subtitles, sometimes they’d flicker on VLC or have weird position shifts in Infuse. They’re perfect on this app so far.
  • Wonderful!

    Finally an iOS app that deinterlaces live cable box streams properly with full 60p motion output! Been searching everywhere for this and finally found it. Well worth my donation to buy the premium version and support this developer!
  • Great Player But….

    Best video player I’ve used yet, now with PIP I can’t think of anything that could be done to improve it.
  • Absolutely brilliant

    Sure, vlc can play every video format, but its UI is just horrendous. Outplayer so far has been able to play all videos I have with absolutely pretty and minimalistic interface. I love how it groups videos by folder, a feature I think VLC has somewhere but I just couldn’t figure out. I also love how it can extract chapters and credit sections of a movie. I probably don’t need to pro version to have brightness and volume gestures but I buy it anyway to support the dev. Thanks for a great app!

  • Great app to mimic mpv and IINA on iPad

    It’s great, plays all the same files that mpv would (meaning that it will play pretty much everything) but I think it also needs:

    1. Be able to show all videos saved locally without having to import them (like other players do)

    2. Choose not just the language by default for audio or subtitles but also the order of it. This is useful if your video contains 3-4 different types of subtitles as some may only be for the parts in foreign language, one for openings and endings only (anime) or for everything.

  • Best PIP mode

    This app has a superior picture-in-picture mode to even paid media players on iOS. It renders styled subtitles in the PIP with window scaling and no delay when switching modes. Local file management is simple and UI is smooth. Kudos to the developer for offering such a quality app to the community! Please consider adding DLNA support, for more consistent local streaming.

  • Flawless hardware decoding, but HDR?

    Compared to VLC, this app hardware decodes more often than not with supported codecs (VLC sometimes inexplicably doesn’t with 10bit HEVC files [device heats up] that this app can decode with hardware). It’s simplistic design is wonderful and I don’t feel compelled to dive into the settings and micromanage everything. What would make it even more of an essential video player is if true HDR output could be added, or at least it doesn’t work properly on the SE3. There’s an argument to be made that the benefits of HDR are limited on a simple LCD display, but when playing back HDR-encoded content like Sony’s Swordsmith demo in the system Files app, it will display in HDR mode as denoted by an HDR icon on the top left and the peak brightness and color gamut seem just a bit better compared to how it looks in this app and VLC (which also messes up the color, presumably from not getting the color gamut right).

    Ignore what I said about casting, I forgot you had to mirror screen using AirPlay for that to work.

  • The best

    I tried a lot of players but I found this one perfect for video watching.
