  • Concerning

    I find it highly questionable that you have to agree to NOT requesting a refund if you use or download this app within 14 days.
    How the heck do you know how ineffective it is until you have used it?

    Being a great fan of the VLC player on my Windows PC, I had high hopes for this. However, it is next to useless. Buffering is a massive problem - even though my internet speed doesn't cause this with anything else.

    Also, if you pause a movie to go back to it, it rarely plays.

    I am extremely disappointed and not happy that I cannot now request a refund.

  • Great app but not working since update

    One of my favorite apps on my iPad. Allows me to access my entire library. Since I assume the last update however, my iPad can't find my computer. Not sure what is up.
  • Porn advertisements.

    I have been using this app to play some on line class lectures at higher speed. Unfortunately the app will randomly launch ads that stop your video playback or your audio playback and cover the screen with unwanted advertisements.
    The thing that finally drove me to leaving a bad review on here was that I literally had a full screen ad of a topless woman show up this morning . This has to stop. My children could have been using this app. Or I could've been streaming a perfectly innocent cartoon for them and then all of a sudden you got a naked woman in their face.
    Not only do the ads completely interrupt the audio/video that you are streaming, but they also automatically start your entire video or audio from the beginning and you have to waste time finding where you left off.

  • So irritating it's unbearable and unwatchable

    The good: by far the easiest installation on the PC and subsequent use on the iPad of any home video streaming app for the iPad out there.

    The bad: the free version is the most annoying free app ever.

    The banner at the bottom is so intrusive and irritating that it makes the video unwatchable. And it's so infuriating that the last thing one wants to do is pay a single cent to the author for the banner-free version.

  • Best of all

    Using VLC since a few years with other apps,this one remains the most versatile to use. If you accept suggestions:
    - ability to download videos from external HD behind a Time Capsule (direct access link via local Wi-Fi) and
    - showing size of files in the listing.
    Keep up the fine work.
  • I love this app 💖

    I downloaded this app and VLC for mobile. I watched The Martian on both. There were quality problems when watching on VLC for mobile but not for this app. It was perfect. Thanks for creating a wonderful app.
  • Garbage app

    This app is absolute trash, no where near as good as the official VLC app. It requires processing of all. Ideas before it will let you watch them which takes a long time and worst of all, many are converted into very low quality files, even when quality settings are on high. VLC official app does not require conversion, it just streams files. Unfortunately there is a bug in the streaming feature so I was forced to download this trash until they fix it, but omg this app is HORRIBLE.

  • Can be better

    I had the free version but because I wanted to download the movies directly on to my iPad so I watch them without streaming, I paid for the full version. You can imagine how disappointed I was when I embarked on a 4hours+ coach trip yesterday and all the videos kept cutting off after a few minutes of watching - yes, all the videos. It was annoying to say the least. The vlc streamer app seems really buggy, and this needs to be fixed asap as it is not fair to keep my money yet deliver little to no value

  • Best stream player I used

    I've been using VLC stream for half a year. It's very easy to use, stream videos very fast, and simple interface. Overall, stream video quality is fairly good, very little lag unless you're streaming high resolution video with explosion all the time. You can also add video through your phone, which is very convenience for computer set up on second floor.

  • Limited functionality, no warning

    Doesn't work with remote or networked drives, and gives no upfront warning prior to purchase.
