And there is an interface menus feature that is unlikely to be used but prominent, the 3d settings. And if you switch apps and come back you’ll have to press ‘Done’ to escape and reselect the video otherwise audio continues but no video. Also, what is “Visualization” setting? ### 4/5 — Not bad *2023-03-21, version 5.0.1* Able to play Dolby Vision videos, great. I think this is the only free app can do it. BUT cannot select subtitles ### 4/5 — Review *2021-12-28, version 4.3* Ok everything works well but some of the things are still missing!! Like the peak brightness from iphone 12 pro max are high and it doesnot get that much high i felt!! If you can work and update it out it would be great!! ### 4/5 — Can you please add these feature to the app? *2021-10-10, version 4.3* When you add movies in a playlist make an option to sort out the movies by year, newest added or custom, its quite annoying because i got a sequel to watch and i want to sort it out by order to watch. This feature is a must in this app. Another thing is adding an Editing option to customise the cover and title of the movie. That will be a great improvement. Other than that the app is great, i cant find a similar app like this, I’ve e got all my movies on here and is great. ### 5/5 — Best Video Player All Time *2020-09-29, version 4.3* It can run hevc 10bit video without codec, Best thing about this player is it have inbuilt HEVC 10bit codec, you can enjoy watching movies on ultra HD 4K ### 5/5 — unable Fast forward *2020-01-06, version 4.2.1* This application is annoying when I fast forward the movie it freezed the whole iPad, I had to turn off the iPad then turned on again so the movie can play. ### 2/5 — Ad popups during movies *2019-12-25, version 4.2* Annoying ### 2/5 — How to remove ads? *2019-10-17, version 4.0* Most apps harass you into upgrading to remove ads. This one is a total secret. If there was an obvious way to upgrade, it would be well worth it. Pity:( ### 3/5 — AD setting is very bad! It stops playing video when is shows up. And can not purchase in the App. *2019-06-15, version 4.0* Not the best. ### 3/5 — Works well *2015-12-23, version 3.5* Works well ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage. You get like, 5 rows of the same videos *2023-11-15, version 5.0.1* Why? ### 1/5 — Payed for app and interrupted by ads *2022-04-13, version 5.0.1* You would think a payed app would be ad free, but it’s not. Be prepared to be interrupted every 5 minutes by unskippable ads. ### 1/5 — Has ads do not buy *2021-10-09, version 4.3* Ads??! What the hell I paid for this and it’s showing ads during videos! ### 1/5 — They ruined the app with the update *2021-08-15, version 4.3* Don’t bother installing this app, it has been ruined with advertising and they now block you from using file formats that used to work, now you have to pay for extra file formats like watching my old iPhone movies. My precious movies were deleted by this terrible app during the forced update, WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HATE YOU APP!!!!! ### 1/5 — Only if you love adverts everywhere *2020-08-09, version 4.3* It was really nice app. Until some update come.. now it doesn’t play in background + adverts everywhere + 3 adverts per 45 minutes video in the its middle!!! ### 1/5 — Winetou *2020-04-16, version 4.2.1* Me gusta ### 1/5 — Not the same app that I purchased long ago *2019-12-21, version 4.0* I bought the paid version several years ago for the single reason of not wanting to deal with ads. Now, apparently, that purchase is now void, because there is no way to remove them with recent versions. ### 1/5 — Upload files via wifi is not working in IOS 13 *2019-11-08, version 4.0* Always says no wifi connection ### 1/5 — Ugh *2019-10-31, version 4.0* App Store lists .99 in app purchase for removing ads but.... there appears to be nothing in the app. Pop-up ads during video without a pay to remove is a deal breaker. ### 1/5 — Update For Ad？ *2019-06-08, version 4.0* Already paid for this app before. Now，there‘s suckers anytime. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pay attention to the pro version ! *2024-04-30, version 5.0.1* Hello. I am using the pro version. After updating to iPadOS 17, it no longer works and crashes when entering the password and cannot be used! I have many videos in it. But now I see that the pro version has been completely removed from the app store and is no longer available! Please give an update for the pro version to be compatible with ios 17 ### 5/5 — Amazing Dolby Vision and HDR10 Video Player!!! Well Done. *2024-01-13* Amazing Dolby Vision and HDR10 Video Player!!! Well Done. Please add more video options. ### 5/5 — Great for old devices *2023-05-29, version 5.0.1* I have an iPad air first generation and it really struggles to play x265 1080p movies in players like vlc. I tried tons of other apps but non worked. However, this one is like magic and plays all the videos smoothly. I can’t thank the developers enough. 5 starssss ### 5/5 — Well done! *2022-09-14, version 5.0.1* Only app that solved Dolby Vision If only the pricey n player plus could do this ### 5/5 — 4k video Smoothly run by it 10 /10 *2021-10-11, version 4.3* Amazing 4k videos player 10/10 ### 5/5 — بدنیست ولی فیلمها گم میشن *2020-12-04, version 4.3* بدنیست ولی فیلمها گم میشن ### 5/5 — Best HDR video player in AppStore *2020-12-04, version 4.3* This is the best HDR video player in AppStore so far. ### 5/5 — Simply works great! *2020-12-02, version 3.3* I've enjoyed the hassle-free ease-of-use in video transfer and great video playback. ### 5/5 — We need DTS support *2020-10-28, version 4.3* Best app play 10bit vidéo smoothly but don’t support DTS sound unfortunately 😢😢 ### 5/5 — Upload problem not showing up after download shown as complete *2020-10-05, version 4.3* Upload problems --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
