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. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t show subtitles *2020-01-13* Plays videos but doesn’t show subtitles, doesn’t work. ### 3/5 — Expensive to add casting support *2019-02-19, version 2.0.5* Chromcast and Firestick support costs $15 as an add-on. They should advertise this up front. This is pretty expensive for an app store app. ### 1/5 — CnX player *2018-11-17* What a joke and a waste of valuable time. Get it right before you release. **Developer response:** Dear user, We would like to know what is it that you didnt like in CnX Player ? Your inputs will help us serve you better.

Positioned to be able to cast Amazon prime content to your chrome cas- not only is it incapable of performing that the instructions are extremely vague and out of date because it is impossible to do from an iPhone. This app is a cash grab **Developer response:** Hi there Our apologies for the issue you have been facing.

Regards Team CnX Player ### 1/5 — Crashes as soon as it opens *2018-06-16, version 2.0.2* Running iOS 11.4 on iPhone 8 Plus. The app crashes as soon as it opens ### 1/5 — Only 1 thing *2018-05-14* The only thing that works in this app is the error messages! **Developer response:** Hi There, Can you please share with us the error that you are getting. it would definitely help us find out the issue. email id: support@cnxplayer.com Thanks ### 1/5 — No Camera roll support *2018-02-11, version 2.0.2* Doesn’t seem to playback camera roll in this update, which was the sole purpose of me buying this. ### 1/5 — Very bad *2017-11-15* This player is very bad. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you for your valuable feedback. Please install the latest version of CNX Player. Its now the best player on iOS with lot of new features like 1) 10-bit file support 2) casting on AppleTV 3) Folder management 4) Enhanced wifi file sharing 5) an amazing User interface ! 6) Import/Export videos from other apps on the device 7) iphone X supported 8) Improved subtitles support CNX player really is a real player that supports all the file formats !!!!!! We look forward to hear from you ! Cheers ! ### 3/5 — Only player that plays x265 smoothly on iPad Air 1 *2017-08-14, version 1.5* The only player that plays hevc files smoothly. There are caveats which can be fixed so please take this as constructive criticism. Firstly 10bit hevc files don't play. I'll increase one star once the support is there, which I read will come soon. Second the UI is unintuitive. To try to delete a video, pressing the edit button and then showing the option to delete is something that took me a few minutes to figure out. A very simple alternative is just allow multi select/ edit mode to come up when a video is long pressed where deletes can happen. Even the progress window does not close on its own once the deletes are complete. IMO the UI needs a lot of polishing. Good to have features: 1) Picture in picture support would be great to have 2) If this player can support UPnP, this would be the perfect alternative to infuse.1 A question to the devs: I'm curious. Does the 8bit hevc play using hardware or software decoder on the A7 chip? A small indicator when playing the video would be nice. **Developer response:** Hi There, Thank you so much for your important feedback. Please upgrade the player, it has now many improved features ! * Video Codec 10-bit support. * Enhanced User Experience and User Interface. * Video Casting Support for Apple TV, ChromeCast and Amazon Fire TV. * Transfer videos : Export/import videos to/from other application. * Improved Wifi Application Management * There is multi select delete Regarding the codec usage, by default we use hardware codecs. the indication for codec usage is in the video options screen. For the following suggestion, again a very big thank you ! These are the features which we will be providing soon and yes , CnX will then be the Best Player :-) 1) Picture in picture support would be great to have 2) If this player can support UPnP. Thank you ### 1/5 — Didn't access existing movie vids from my iPhone *2017-07-06, version 1.5* See subject, I'd expect an app to automatically pull the existing movie files I had already synced from iTunes on my MAC. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Liesss *2022-02-13, version 2.0.5* MINE KEEPS CRASHING EVERY TIME I OPEN IT ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work!!! *2021-08-24, version 2.0.5* The main issue here is that when I open this app, it doesn’t respond at all and it crashes that often. 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 ### 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." ### 1/5 — App Force Quits Itself *2019-10-18, version 2.0.5* I just downloaded and opened the app. It shuts down immediately before I can click on anything and browse how the app works. And I have an iPhone XS with latest iOS update. Brand new phone btw. No excuse why this app should be doing this ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2019-09-10, version 2.0.5* A lot faster than VLC Streamer. It sure why I didn’t hear of this app sooner. Works flawlessly and like I said earlier much faster. Five stars for sure. **Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you so much for your kind words !
