Please fix this app, you British company! ### 1/5 — Worse player ever *2021-02-21, version 2.0.5* This app seriously is the worse. It constantly stops playing the video at random points....just whenever it feels like it. Freezes and closes out randomly. This is nonstop. It’s not like these things happen from time to time. The app NEVER works properly. I have no clue how it has such a high rating. ### 1/5 — Crashes like an app that is only designed to crash *2020-10-21, version 2.0.5* Crashes like an app that is only designed to crash. Like freaky good performance, in regard to crashing. I’d be surprised if these developers didn’t work for the IIHS because this app crashes better then a test dummy. ### 1/5 — 10bit Player ? *2020-09-17, version 2.0.5* I buy upgrade package for playing files with 10bit hdr and this app play 10bit file in 8bit sdr color why ? I spend 10$ to buy this upgrade for nothing and i can’t refunded.. ### 1/5 — Very bad *2020-08-21, version 2.0.5* Subtitles not found ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do what it says *2020-08-08* The link to transfer the files doesn’t work and I couldn’t transfer my local videos into the app as well.. I think this needs a lot of work ### 1/5 — Does not work with iPhone XR *2020-03-08, version 2.0.5* Does not work with iPhone XR. The app just keeps crashing ### 2/5 — Maybe can play videos, I never found out *2020-02-09, version 2.0.5* There's no easy way to get content into it since it can't connect to servers of any kind. Forget playing videos stored on a NAS for example. After manually downloading a video with another app and sharing it to this one it tells me I need "professional codecs" to play it. Just a run of the mill HEVC video. With the experience so far I'm not ready to link down $10 to find out if it can even do the job on the device and then another $15 to get it out to my streaming stick. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-02-01, version 2.0.5* Does not work on iPhone 7 plus. Tried transferring movies from iTunes & through the browser. It gives the message "We are unable to play this content. Please try another file." ## Frequently asked questions about CnX Player ### What does this app do?
