Thanks ### 4/5 — Good *2020-02-25, version 6.1* It’s good ### 2/5 — No longer seems to work *2020-01-06, version 6.1* It’s Playing has been my go-to app for videos on my ipad for years. Now when I try to open files it just freezes. I’ve tried reinstalling. May be a compatibility issue with iPad Pro 11, but I also see it hasn’t been updated in years. I’d now recommend something else, though I miss that I could do everything on It’s Playing until now. ### 4/5 — Best app *2019-12-22, version 6.1* Good ### 2/5 — IOS 13.1 has ruined my fav app *2019-09-27, version 6.1* Been using its playing pro for years —- since the iOS 13.1 update it won’t play files and freezes often when launching a movie file. If I restart my iPad it works, but will freeze again opening another file...I hope it’s playing does an update to fix these issues soon. ### 3/5 — Good but going bad *2019-09-11, version 6.1* This has been my goto video player but lately it’s been randomly crashing a lot during movies. Not sure what’s happening. Since it hasn’t been updated in over a year I feel nothing will improve with new iOS updates. ### 4/5 — One thing missing... *2019-06-03, version 6.1* This is a near perfect app, but it’s missing one important thing...the ability to stream content to your chrome cast connected TV (that, along with the ability to create playlists). ### 4/5 — Works well but can not tell what I’ve watched already *2019-04-08, version 6.1* There used to be a symbol to tell me what I’ve watched, part watched or fully watched. This feature doesn’t seem to be there anymore. Apart from that, works well enough for my needs. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2018-11-22, version 6.1* After a couple of years of flawless service, the app now crashes after about 5 seconds of attempting to play numerous files that worked without an issue as recently as a couple of months ago. iOS 12.1. It isn’t playing. ### 2/5 — Needs updating *2018-11-17, version 6.1* Had this app for years to play video files on my iPads not a problem but since iOS 12 it’s become very flakey and unreliable always quitting and stuttering. It hasn’t been updated in a year so I’m guessing this is why. Pleas sort it out ### 2/5 — iPhone X Home Indicator *2018-06-25, version 6.1* It’s a great app. I don’t regret paying for it, and I usually don’t get any apps I actually have to pay for. Currently, the home indicator (white bar) never goes away, and that’s terrible. It’s been nine months. You need to fix this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working on iOS v12.4.8 iPad Air *2020-10-24, version 6.2* 6.1 is latest version for this iOS and iPad model, and ideas only crash during playback. Old videos that used to work don’t anymore. I have pro, and this app is now useless. ### 1/5 — Need update to ipad pro 11 *2019-11-18, version 6.1* Looks like abandonware. Been no updates in about 2 years. ### 1/5 — ... deserves negative stars *2019-09-22, version 6.1* Terrible - doesn’t work - I can’t give negative stars but this app deserves them for wasting time and money Don’t waste your time or money ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-04-07, version 6.1* Useless, unsupported by devs. ### 1/5 — Please update *2019-01-22, version 6.1* I used to use this app often. I haven’t used it in several months and just yesterday I tried to play some video lectures and it crashes after a few seconds. It seems I’m not the only one experiencing this. It appears it could be due to iOS update 12. Please fix this and I’ll be happy to update my review ### 1/5 — Was Great. Now in 5 seconds it crashes *2019-01-18, version 6.1* This was a great app. Now it crashes after 5 seconds no matter what video I play. I’ve emailed the developers for a month now with no response. I hope they fix this and I’ll give them 5 stars again. ### 1/5 — Abandoned? *2019-01-13, version 6.1* This app used to be great, but no longer seems to work in the current iOS. I have the pro version and it won’t let me hook up Dropbox. It also crashes every time I open a file from put.io It hasn’t been updated for a year or so, and the website looks ancient so I’m guessing this app has been abandoned. ### 1/5 — New update PLEASE! Crashed iOS 12.1 *2018-12-02, version 6.1* Hello, please update your software! As of today December 2, 2018 Thank you, ### 1/5 — App Expired! *2018-11-28, version 6.1* This app was playing well on my iPad mini until I upgraded to iOS 12. On iOS 12 it crashes just after five seconds. Now it’s useless and I have to delete the app and find an alternative. Sometimes I wonder if the upgrade to iOS 12 is worth the trouble.😕 ### 1/5 — Crashes after iOS 12.1 upgrade *2018-11-23, version 6.1* Useless until this fixed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awsome *2020-02-11, version 6.1* Better than everything else I tried ### 5/5 — comment *2019-11-30, version 6.1* this app is one of the best . I admire it , you can easily play movie by subtitle I think it will be better, if apps theme changing , lack of display light button and volume, I gave 5 star thanks for developer ❤️ ### 5/5 — Yess *2019-11-29, version 6.1* 😍😍 perfect app ### 5/5 — It’s really playing *2019-11-01, version 6.1* So useful ### 5/5 — Update *2019-07-19, version 6.1* Hope this app continues to be updated.

There are so many wonderful options at your fingertips to adjust the picture quality or speed, and even a way to access other video collections to view. With so many different media formats out there, I very much put this one at the top of my list. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
