Decent but needs update

Performs its functions adequately if temperamental occasionally. Need to add viewing webp format files.

Keeps crashing on iPad mini 6

Constantly crashing on iPad mini 6. Every time I open it. Unusable. Was great.

Audio Player Needs to Display the File Name!

Please have the audio player show the file name being played. I use the player to play a series of language learning audio files. As one is played, the player will automatically play the next file, which is great. The problem is that since the file name is not displayed, I NEVER know the file Iโ€™m in or that Iโ€™ve stopped at to continue next time. This is the only player in the WORLD that does not display the file being played!! Who does this sort of thing?

A lot of videos do not load

Terrible experience watching videos on iPhone

Simple fantastic app

Simple design principle that you see across all their apps. Nothing fancy but does exactly what you need. Over complication in design often leads to a poor user experience which is avoided through simplicity here. Use it everyday.
