### 5/5 — Exactly what i needed

### 5/5 — The best + some suggestions

*2026-06-24, version 1.3.17*

By far the best out of all the apps I’ve tried with direct emby support (love how my continu watching syncs with emby also so I didn’t loose any of my show progress) 

Couple of suggestions:

1. When I go to the feature voting it’s all in chinease would be nice to be able to read what features I can vote for.

2. Option for Unwatched tags on posters so if there’s 10 episodes left in a show that I haven’t watched yet there will be a little tag saying 10 this way if new episodes come out for a favorited show I’ll know there’s more episodes.

3. Would be nice to have movie and tv show section with filters for genre / rating / year released etc…. So basically all movies from emby server are scraped together and dumped into movie section

4. Downloads. Being able to download movies and shows for offline use would be brilliant

### 5/5 — 强烈推荐

*2026-06-24*

作为资深影迷，这款播放器完全击中我的需求！支持弹幕互动，还能自定义滤镜提升画质，连老旧电影都能看得很舒服。本地视频播放也超稳，一点不糊！

界面干净清爽

### 5/5 — 播放器中的夯

*2026-06-11*

去年开始接触流媒体，无意发现了这款播放器，一打开就被这个app的UI设计给美到了。真的，对比了那么多播放器，就这个播放器看着最好，用着也最丝滑。强烈建议入手

### 5/5 — The best of its kind

*2026-06-06*

One of the best if not the best out there

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 看这写着免费

*2026-07-20, version 1.3.18*

看着免费，下载后发现被骗

### 1/5 — Gives 1 day trial for review

*2026-06-22, version 1.3.17*

hey

### 1/5 — Apple TV App is extremely buggy

*2026-06-02, version 1.3.16*

Do not buy for Apple TV version. It
Is unbearable.

### 1/5 — 吃相难看的折扣优惠

*2026-05-26, version 1.3.15*

刚下载下来，还没了解软件怎么样，就弹出一个仅限一次不付款就不能再有的高额折扣，非常难看的促销，有一种垃圾页游的感觉。

### 1/5 — Great potential, zero developer support

*2026-05-23*

Im in the official Telegram group, and there are tons of bugs and feature requests that have been reported since last year with zero fixes. Progress is slow. Save your patience until the dev actually starts caring about the app.

### 1/5 — 超级垃圾

*2026-05-09, version 1.3.15*

各种各样的bug

### 1/5 — 防盗版不能牺牲付费用户，请重视基本稳定性

*2026-04-25*

作为高价购买的终身会员，这次的体验非常差。
这软件从早期的半成品熬到能用不容易，但现在开发者显然把精力放错了地方。为了防盗版强行把验证放在云端，结果服务器被攻击导致正版用户完全打不开软件。
周五晚上本来想放松一下，结果因为验证问题无法使用，到了第二天依然没有修复。防盗版可以理解，但如果防盗版导致付过钱的用户无法正常使用，这逻辑就非常可笑。希望开发者能明白，比起天天研究怎么验证和推广，保证付费用户的基本使用利益才是最核心的。

### 1/5 — 不咋样

*2026-04-20, version 1.3.15*

垃圾APP，不订阅不给用。infuse起码有个基础功能在。

### 1/5 — It was BEST player

*2026-04-02, version 1.3.15*

they’ve removed Stremio support, which was the main reason I was using this app in the first place. Without that feature, there’s really no advantage anymore, especially when Infuse is already an outstanding option for home media. Removing Stremio integration takes away the one thing that made this app stand out.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-03-27*

*2026-07-15, version 1.3.18*
