### 1/5 — 使えないゴミ

*2026-02-25*

iPad に対応してなくてiPad の画面内の小さな範囲でしか見れないのゴミすぎるw
普通pcの動画を他のデバイスで見るってなったらスマホよりiPad だろ
そんな基本の動画を見ることすら満足にできないクソアプリ

**Developer response:** PowerPlayer をご利用いただき、誠にありがとうございます。ご迷惑をおかけしまして大変申し訳ございません。iPad OS の画面解像度につきまして、チームと共有し、今後のアップデート時の参考にさせていただきます。 今後ともどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

### 3/5 — Interface Mobile Uniquement

*2025-03-23*

Dommage de ne pas avoir l’interface en plein écran sur Tablette

### 2/5 — 有料アプリとは思えない出来。

*2024-10-09*

プレイリスト再生をクリックすると、アプリが落ちる。バックグラウンド再生もない。

サイバーリンククラウドは未完成としか言えない。

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2024-08-11*

一年前にもレビューで書かれてるが、iPadに対応してないのが使えなさ過ぎる。
iPadで使えるなら有料版の購入を考えたがマジで使えない。
iPhoneで観るくらいなら自分で動画変換してiPadに入れた方がましだわ

### 1/5 — No IPad support

*2024-06-20*

I have been watching, waiting & reading the reviews for this product about a iPad version and still 2 years later there isn't a iPad version as of yet. Don’t get fooled with them telling you can just watch it on IPad just in vertical format. That version is clearly a iPhone format only…. It’s going on 3 years if it haven’t already been that cyberlink…. You guys are extremely slow when it comes to responding to customers requests. This have been a request for very long time.

**Developer response:** Hi, PowerPlayer App iOS version support to install on iPad device and use in vertical view, but it is not specifically designed for iPadOS. Although the landscape orientation view is not available in the app, the videos still can be watched in landscape orientation on the playback. For your concern of the landscape view (view in iPad), we've forwarded the suggestion of supporting landscape view in the app to our developer team for consideration. Really appreciate your feedback :)

### 1/5 — Oh!

*2023-11-02*

Ich bin mir nicht sicher wie man diese App bewerten soll! Wenn wenigstens AirPlay möglich wäre, könnte man 4 Sterne geben, aber so ist schon 1 Stern Zuviel! Ich weiß nicht was CyberLink sich bei dieser App genau gedacht hat.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

### 1/5 — no me gusta su nube 👎🏻

*2023-09-09*

para poder compartir un extracto de un video casero tiene que ser por la nube y no se guarda en el rollo fotográfico 
pero si yo compré el programa porque no puedo guardar mis videos en mi rollo de fotos de mi teléfono? y que sea mas fácil compartir 
por eso NO lo recomiendo 👎🏻
