### 2/5 — 两年了，还不更新吗？

*2025-05-20*

啥时候更新啊？

### 5/5 — 5+ Star App

*2025-02-10*

Fastest way to put your music and film files on an iPad and iPhone - even in 2025! Creates a Folder on your phone - where you put all your stuff inside. In the app you everytime see the real size of that Media folder - no long search. app is small and easy to use. Create a folder and the app plays the complete folder as a playlist 😺👍 its so easy! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 2/5 — No file download?

*2025-02-10*

It ruins the main point of this app, if you can’t download videos, then it’s pretty useless.

### 4/5 — 連続再生の…

*2024-10-31*

良い。表示全て英語だけどなんとかなる。連続再生できるのもとても良い。が、横画面で見ていても次の動画では縦表示に戻るのでまた横(全画面表示)を選択しなくてはならないのが☆マイナス1。そこ改良されたら完璧！

### 4/5 — 视频内置的软字幕无法显示

*2024-02-18*

其他都挺好的

### 5/5 — Please update the app and optimise it to ios 17

*2024-02-16*

Please optimise app for ios 17 and add full functional file explorer with all files support 
Thankyou

### 5/5 — So great!!!

*2023-12-22*

It can be called a perfect local player, with various rich gesture operations, combining the advantages of domestic and foreign playback software (I mean, mainland China and the United States). Many playback software in the United States do not support adjusting brightness and volume directly on the playback interface, nor do they support sliding left and right to drag the progress bar. On the other hand, many playback software in mainland China do not support double-clicking on the left/right side of the playback interface to perform rewind/fast forward operations. This software combines the advantages of both software very well.

I encountered a strange problem when using it - when I paused playback and resumed playback, there was some delay in the sound. I don't mean that the sound and picture are out of sync, but that the sound appears a few seconds after the picture starts moving. This phenomenon will appear under Codec 1 and Codec 2, but will disappear after switching to Codec 3.

### 5/5 — 好久没更新了，不支持有线投屏😫太可惜了

希望增加功能
