Great Player

Very useful Video Player. Served me well for over a decade now with updates getting even better.

Thank you for using GoodPlayer for more than ten years! We're delighted that it has served you well and that you appreciate the recent updates. Your continued support means a great deal to us. If you ever have feedback or need help, please email service@hustmobile.com.

Buggy Update

The app hadn’t been updated in 8 years, then gets updated by a new unknown developer. While the app was long in the tooth, it worked fine. The update makes some cosmetic changes, but now the app is unstable, changes the file system, and other changes make the app less responsive. I wish I could revert to the old app.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and for using GoodPlayer over the years. We're sorry the update caused stability issues and made the app less responsive for you. GoodPlayer is still developed by its original developer. The developer information shown on the App Store was updated to meet Apple's current requirements; the developer has not changed. Since your review, we have released several updates. Our current developer dashboard data shows no crashes reported for the latest version available on the App Store. Please update to that version and try again. If you prefer the familiar file-based view, select Settings > Interface Style > File Browser. This changes the layout, but does not revert to an older app version. If you still experience instability, unexpected changes when browsing files, or slow responses, please email service@hustmobile.com with your device model, iOS/iPadOS and GoodPlayer versions, and the steps that trigger the problem. We'd be happy to help investigate.

I wish I could get my $2.99 back

I have seen apps badly designed or not working at all, but I have never seen anything like this thing, actually approved by Apple. An utter disaster on every level.

Insta-crashes on opening

As soon as you try to open any files on network storage using SMB or AFS the app crashed so useless for most people.

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting the network-storage crashes, and I'm sorry the app was unusable for you. GoodPlayer 12.21 has a reworked SMB client with SMB2/SMB3 support for browsing and playing files. Please reconnect to a compatible SMB share on a device running iOS/iPadOS 18 or later. This update specifically concerns the SMB path; I cannot confirm what server protocol the separate AFS connection in your review used.
