## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can't work 1080p HEVC x265

*2016-07-03*

Can't play x265

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2016-05-31*

Waste of time app was described as capable of playing 265x codec media files yet was unable to do so

### 3/5 — It's alright but not a replacement for x264 yet

*2016-05-12*

A little laggy, still waiting for Apple to release native x265 decoding, for there are limits to what this app can do.

### 3/5 — Crashes on some files, plays most

*2015-05-23*

Satisfied though I wish I could find out what is causing the crash on several of my re-encodes.

### 4/5 — Nice up to date demo

*2015-10-21*

I would pay for the app if it would encode and send a stream though, just so We could see just how taxing it is and within the capabilities of todays mobile devices.

A estimated guess based on PC performance info posted makes me think a dual-core arm64 1ghz+ should be able to encode 30fps of 720p using about 40% of it's cores. Seems low enough to be usable, on a mobile phone 480p would be more than adequate. Whoever finally makes a h265 bidirectional streaming video conferencing app first will likely have ppl flocking to it over FaceTime if they regularly use it over 3g/LTE...

### 5/5 — AC3.AVI.MKV..

*2015-02-01*

It's perfect.

### 5/5 — Extraordinarily splendid

*2015-01-15*

An app exclusive to run hevc container is a must for all wishing for lower size higher quality videos

### 5/5 — Plays HEVC/H.265 and H.265 video in mkv format. Great!

*2014-06-11*

The app plays the most recent High Efficiency Video Encoding (HEVC) H.265 and other video formats in mkv container format.
