For example if I go to Settings > Files, the toggles for “Display PDF thumbnails” and “Display Text thumbnails” always get switched back off whenever I try to enable them. If I enable them and then force quit the app and then relaunch it, those settings never get saved ### 3/5 — av1编码不能播放？ *2026-02-13, version 1.4.6* 对emby的支持度高，但是免费版不能播放av1编码视频文件，所以收费版可以吗？ ### 4/5 — 为什么不支持杜比视界 *2025-10-04, version 1.3.44* 为什么iphone13pro用这个播放器不支持杜比视界，其他播放器都可以 ### 4/5 — 字幕變成方塊 *2025-09-19, version 1.3.43* apple tv 與手機上的filebar上的字幕變成方塊，之前的是ok的，更新ios26 後就出現問題，希望能改善 ### 4/5 — 更新apple tv系统后 中文字幕变乱码了 *2025-09-16, version 1.3.43* tvOS 26.0系统更新后，使用播放软件中文字幕不能正常显示，全部变成了小方框。 ### 2/5 — TV版本 群晖上面的音频文件看不到 *2025-07-31, version 1.3.42* TV版本 群晖上面的音频文件看不到 ### 4/5 — 功能優化 *2025-07-13, version 1.3.42* 希望能優化的功能有這些 1.自定義播放ui介面 例如：我希望能把點兩下快轉的功能放在左邊螢幕 2.快轉秒數希望提供最低為1秒 最低只有五秒對我來說太多了 3.畫面縮小的功能有時候會失敗 會直接變成到桌布 而且沒有小畫面 要用好幾次才會變正常 4.希望額外推出windows 版本跟安卓版本 這個軟體整體來說做得太棒了 希望能有機會在其他平台使用 而且我是有買會員的 希望在其他平台也能讓已買會員的人正常使用 ### 4/5 — 播放不隐藏鼠标和顶部白边 需要优化 *2025-05-08, version 1.3.39* 全屏播放时有白边，而且也不隐藏鼠标。 希望早日支持杜比 ### 3/5 — 连接emby，媒体库多版本的视频无法播放 *2025-05-01, version 1.3.38* 媒体库同时存在1080p和2160p的视频，1080p的能播放，2160p无法播放 ### 4/5 — 希望可以支持同时显示两种语言字幕 *2025-04-14, version 1.3.37* 如题 ### 3/5 — Google Drive無法播放音頻 *2025-03-05, version 1.3.34* 同標題 ### 2/5 — SMB播放咋能这么卡 *2025-02-06, version 1.3.31* 最近更新后看局域网视频拖进度条要缓冲好久，同样的视频用VLC的SMB就没有问题，你这是对免费用户做了什么手脚吗 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 体验 *2026-05-17, version 1.4.8* 体验感很差劲，mkv一坨大边 ### 1/5 — Jellyfin 支持越来越烂！ *2025-12-16, version 1.4.5* AppleTV 中 jellyfin 的支持像屎一样，前几个月根本就播放不了视频，一进入视频详情就自动往下滑，然后用遥控器都滑不上去了，导致点不了播放按钮而播放不了。现在这个问题没有了，又发现 jellyfin 中的项目不能排序了，排序里面是空的。这软件刚买的时候可没这些问题，现在越更新越烂，也不知道是不是故意的。国内的这些开发者真是让人信任不起来！ ### 1/5 — No more google drive *2025-09-26, version 1.3.44* Cannot see google drive already ### 1/5 — 基本不更新维护 *2025-09-25, version 1.3.44* 想买的建议看别家，功能基本不增加，维护也是几个月修一下小bug，圈完钱就不管用户了 ### 1/5 — 杜比视界 *2025-08-02, version 1.3.42* 买了pro，不支持杜比视界 ### 1/5 — app热更新太厉害了 *2025-05-19, version 1.3.39* 弹幕功能直接砍掉了，什么版本都没了，离谱，就图你有个弹幕看动漫，现在直接没了，能退钱吗，垃圾软件，这不算诈骗吗 ### 1/5 — Include HW decoding *2025-04-23, version 1.3.38* This app keeps warming up my iPhone 16e and slowing down playback as it’s not using HW decoding ### 1/5 — 售后差 *2025-04-17, version 1.3.37* 在群里面反应过很多次了 smb下 播放不了 没有速度 更新了几个版本了 也没有解决这个问题 ### 1/5 — Bad UI design of apple tv app *2025-01-04, version 1.3.30* the apple tv app has a very ugly design, and the poster design hasn’t been change for really long time ### 1/5 — Horrible. Not even worth 1 star *2024-11-10, version 1.3.28* Does not connect to pCloud despite being a supported protocol. Error “could not get access token” AFTER inputting correct login details. So falsely advertised basically (images show pCloud logo/support). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 字幕问题没有解决 *2026-03-01, version 1.4.7* 还是显示口 ### 5/5 — 私人媒体库的神器 *2026-02-25, version 1.4.7* 很难得见到把UI做得这么精致，功能还这么扎实的播放器。不管是管理文件还是播放高清大片，体验都非常极致。感谢开发者，这款 App 提升了我数字生活的幸福感！ ### 5/5 — 非常好用 *2026-02-01, version 1.4.6* 下了很多webdav的客户端，这个用的最舒服 ### 5/5 — Best on the app store *2025-11-06, version 1.4* Hands down the best media player available. I couldn’t find another app with all these features together: - reliable support for AV1 decoding (most other alternative apps don’t have this) - cloud storage access (the apps that do have AV1 support often don’t support cloud storage access) - support for video, audio, PDFs, and text files Since it uses mpv in the backend it’s extremely powerful and reliable. Can’t recommend enough. ### 5/5 — 簡單方便 *2025-09-11, version 1.3.43* 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — 非常非常非常好用的软件！ *2025-07-02, version 1.3.42* 对于大陆用户来说，能把百度网盘的东西通过移动端下载出来简直绝杀🥹🥹🥹，，，！希望加看下载进度的窗口，不然必须再下一个才能回到下载列表界面 ### 5/5 — 能增加定时播放功能吗？ *2025-05-28, version 1.3.41* 如题，百度网盘的视频不能定时播放 ### 5/5 — 希望mega网盘支持 *2025-04-15, version 1.3.37* 手机版希望增加AirPlay投屏功能 ### 5/5 — Useful *2025-04-12, version 1.3.37* Very useful app without annoying ADs. ### 5/5 — Fantastic pCloud Client *2025-04-01, version 1.3.37* This is better than the official pCloud client. It feels more iOS native. I’d like to say a huge thank you to the developer. After I got in touch about a bug, they kept in contact until it was fixed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
