Don’t be fooled. Just use VLC. ### 3/5 — When it works it’s great *2026-08-22, version 8.5.1* Problem is it is fraught with network issues and server problems and always no matter the problem you get the exact same error and you go from playing fine to never playing again until you have to dele 3gb of cache and delete and reset everything to get it to ever play anything again. It’s a frustrating app and half the time I just end up using VLC just to get stuff off my server to play ### 1/5 — Disappointment Day *2026-08-21, version 8.5.1* What a let down. This sucked so much. Spielberg can do so much better and has with alien movies. Found myself skipping so much so often. Was bored. It dragged on and one. No character development where I cared any about Emily blunt telling people their lives or anyone else about anything. The end is so bad. Non one cares. All build up and nothing is even said. Left for interpretation. So dumb. ### 5/5 — Fantastic software *2026-08-20* That’s the reason I’m keeping my AppleTV. I can steam everything in my place from every freaking HD. Thank you so much for this awesome app. ### 5/5 — Outstanding ui *2026-08-19, version 8.5.1* I'm always impressed when an app works well in all Apple platforms ### 4/5 — Excellent with one flaw *2026-08-18, version 8.5.1* I love everything about Infuse, the experience on Apple TV shows this is a 100% native app instead of the websites disguised as apps most companies ship today. The only flaw it has is subtitles, if OpenSubtitles has few options for your language, and every one is not synced to your file, it’s very uncomfortable because you have to correct it with offsets, which takes too much time if the offset is big. Would love it if you implemented a way to pick the current dialogue to sync it without knowing the offset, that’s more convenient and would solve my only gripe with Infuse. ### 5/5 — 无敌好用 *2026-08-17, version 8.5.1* 真好用，要是手势操作能自定义就更好了 ### 1/5 — Paywalls basic features *2026-08-17* If I wanted an app to play video files locally, I would use VLC player, the only reason to use this app is to chrome cast, or to airplay, neither of which you can do without paying a subscription fee. **Developer response:** Many videos types can be played in the free version, but due to licensing requirements some video types will require Pro. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-16, version 8.5.1* Good but has some saving issues ## Frequently asked questions about Infuse ### What is Infuse?
