- Support H/W decoding for MKV and AVI (720P supported on iPad1, 1080P supported on iPad2 / The New iPad)
- Hybrid decoding mode is added and now it is able to play high resolution videos by using hardware accelerator feature embedded in iPhone/iPad even for mkv or avi in h264. Also battery use time has extended.
- Application may crash in iPhone 3GS / iPod Touch due to heavy use of memory in Hybrid decoding. Try turning off all application running in background and reboot the device by holding down sleep mode button for long time.  
- If screen shakes it means hardware decoding is not supported. Try turning off hybrid decoding.
- When the file formats are available for MKV or AVI the player supports hardware decoding.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2023-08-15, version 2.95*

### 1/5 — App no good now

*2023-07-17, version 2.95*

This was my best video playing app, but lately it locks up, freezes and shuts down, birghtness slider makes a black screen. Deleted and reinstalled and no difference. Just disappointed now

### 5/5 — Worth the Money

*2023-07-01, version 2.95*

Plays .AVI and other supported files smoothly without issue. 
If the devs are reading a sort by name, size, date, length and slow speed of x0.25 would be nice. 

I use VLC too but the mobile app version of VLC can be a bit clunky. AVPlayer has a more streamlined user interface that seems better suited and fit for mobile devices though both are good if you have offline media.
