### 1/5 — Terrible business practices

*2026-07-24*

This company screwed its customers by taking a free application and then making it a monthly fee. They jumped from the best option, to the absolute worst option. I don’t mind if they make this app a one time purchase, I’d even be willing to spend $100 on it. But I’m not paying a monthly fee just to possess an app. They don’t provide any monthly service, you have to provide your own details into the app. So they are literally collecting free money every month.

**Developer response:** We're sorry but this is needed to make further maintenance and development of the product.

### 5/5 — Truly amazing

*2026-02-07*

Absolutely amazing piece of software for a very niche audience. SLDP is a game changer for trying to sync media across different players, connected at different mediums, within a home.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-02-03*

This company screwed its customers by taking a free application and then making it a monthly fee. They jumped from the best option, to the absolute worst option. I don’t mind if they make this app a one time purchase, I’d even be willing to spend $100 on it. But I’m not paying a monthly fee just to possess an app. They don’t provide any monthly service, you have to provide your own details into the app. So they are literally collecting free money every month.

**Developer response:** We're sorry but this is needed to make further maintenance and development of the product.

### 2/5 — Good functionality but paywalled

*2024-12-07*

The app works very well, however it is frustrating that the features are paywalled. As I recall you used to only have to pay for advanced features, now even basic streaming is limited to 5 minutes, and there is no one-off purchase option - you HAVE to subscribe on a rolling monthly basis. These features are worth maybe £15 one off, not £120 a year.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience but this is how we can make further maintenance and development of the product.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-08-29*

Out of nowhere, there is a limit on only streaming a video for five minutes. Please do not update to the latest version. This app has gone downhill very badly.

**Developer response:** We're sorry but this is needed to make further maintenance and development of the product.

### 3/5 — Videowall

*2023-06-22, version 1.1.0*

All the unique streams are playing but the wall is not showing any of them.. 9x9 configuration

### 5/5 — Отлично!

*2023-04-03*

Спасибо за программу. Очень выручает. Использую для контрольного монитора для президиума на конференциях. Ставлю ipad и по srt принимаю с vmix картинку с презентацией, что бы в президиуме не крутили головой на экран, когда докладчик ведет презентацию. Единственная просьба - плеер отказывается принимать поток, если нет интернета.  При попытке принять поток локалке без интернета пишет No internet connection. Он стучится на какой то внешний сервер. Благо в ipad есть сотовый модуль, приходиться включать сотовую связь, что бы работало. Но интернет есть не везде. Хотелось бы, что бы работало даже в закрытых сетях. Спасибо, Владимир.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. We'll add this into our wishlist.

### 5/5 — NDI player

*2022-10-28*

This app is so awesome…and wondering if it can receive and play NDI stream.

**Developer response:** We'll add NDI into Larix Broadcaster soon. As for playback, we have that in our wishlist.

### 1/5 — Riproduzione audio si blocca

*2022-10-12*

Quando si sta a riprodurre solo audio è il telefono va’ in stanbay la riproduzione si interrompe.

**Developer response:** We plan implementing background playback later on.

### 5/5 — Nice stream player with lots of potential

*2022-07-13, version 1.0.33*

Nice app to play adaptive streams. Also works for audio only stream. 
A nice-to-have feature would be some kind of background playback, to continue playing audio or video in the background (switching to another app or turn of the screen).
