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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Not working on Apple TV *2021-12-12* Was working great until a new update. Now every time I click on a stream it takes me to the edit screen instead of playing. No way to play streams on Apple TV! **Developer response:** Sorry for inconvenience, we've submitted a fix for Apple review, check version 6 once it's available. ### 1/5 — AAC v2 doesn’t decode correctly. *2021-11-27* AAC v2 Icecast stream doesn’t decode in hi quality. **Developer response:** Larix Player uses standard iOS decoder, it has no additional sound processing. ### 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. ### 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 ### 3/5 — Overall Good but Annoying Issue *2021-09-29* Hi there! I use this app for production work that I do with live streaming recordings. Overall the app works nicely but can we PLEASE fix the function where if I even deviate from the app to look at a notification the app will close the stream I’m on and there’s no way for me to get back to it unless I fully go back and click the link shared by my team to redirect me. It’s SUPER annoying to have to do this every time I leave the app or do something as simple as turning off my alarm on my phone. It messes with workflow and is just a hassle over all. Thanks! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Looks like we cannot fix that at the moment due to system limitation. But we'll track new iOS features to see when it can be fixed. ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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). ### 5/5 — Best app for SRT *2022-04-08* This is the best app for SRT playback on iOS and tvOS. Simple and super handy for those who work with IP video contribution protocols. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — Simple and works well *2021-09-20* Great app which played an srt stream from colorfront server. **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — One of the App Store’s most useful downloads. *2020-07-16* This is a great tool to incorporate consumer end technology within an SRT, or really any live streaming, workflow. Absolutely 5/5, especially with Larix’s “Grove” information handling. **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — SRT support! *2020-04-24* Works flawlessly for SRT calling. Thank you devs. I love the ability save stream connection profiles. :) Five stars <3 Minor Feature request for SRT: when the connection drops (such as when changing encoder settings), have the player stay “in” and keep trying to connect (like how VLC on desktop behaves) so the stream can seamlessly resume with the new encoder profile. This is a minor request, and the only suggestion I can think of! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — Почему у меня не грузится на айфоне *2020-04-17* Не могу страницу прогрузить **Developer response:** Пожалуйста, убедитесь, что даете правильный УРЛ потока, а не страницы. ### 5/5 — Отличный плеер *2018-07-30* Плеер действительно проигрывает rump поток, без подтормаживания и без рассыпание картинки! **Developer response:** Спасибо, стараемся! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
