### 5/5 — Better than Apple's version

*2016-11-11, version 2.4*

I bought this app because Apple's Music app doesn't play videos in random/shuffle mode.  It only plays one video at a time; then stops.  THIS APP just lets you play whatever videos you want to listen to, continuously, at random, in order, whatever your preference.  iTunes Music App USED to be that way (before Jonny Ivie et al ruined it), so imagine going back to iOS7 or 6 and being able to enjoy videos YOUR WAY, not the Apple way.

### 1/5 — Waste!

*2014-12-15, version 1.3*

This app does not work like it is meant. The free version worked so I decided to pay the buck for the ad free version. Now it doesn't play videos. You can HEAR them but the screen is black.  Glad it was only a dollar!

### 5/5 — MusicVideoPlayer

*2014-10-09, version 1.2*

Unbreaks everything Apple broke in iOS7 with respect to playing music videos from iTunes. They now play full screen and play continuously.  The $0.99 cost was, in my opinion, well worth it.  I swear Steve Balmer's Devil Spawn must be in charge of iTunes.

### 5/5 — Good App.

*2014-06-30, version 1.2*

Good App, down loaded in two minutes and my iPod was playing my music videos in seconds.
Relieve some of the frustration which I felt on discovering that I could not stream my music videos when I, like thousands of other people, my iPod had lost the ability to.
The reason I bought the iPod in the first place was to watch music videos on a good player in land scape mode.
Apple have decided in their wisdom to take this option away from us, Thank You Apple!!!!!!
Thank goodness someone has come up with this (Mr Matt Byrne - Thank You) and stopped me buying another brand which would allow me to have the option of which Apple robbed me of.
Five stars from me.

### 1/5 — Utter Rubbish

*2014-06-04, version 1.2*

Useless. Load the App and my iPhone 5S screen just goes black. No audio, no video, nothing. 

Complete waste of money.

### 5/5 — Worth every penny

*2014-05-16, version 1.2*

I downloaded the first version and was disappointed the videos wasn't full screen. I contacted the developer and they responded straight back. Communication is excellent and added this option. Thanks

### 3/5 — Same Problem

*2014-05-16, version 1.2*

The App came to save us all from a huge problem and I think it is fabulous .. but I still can't play the videos I purchased from iTunes and downloaded them from my PC to my iPhone. However, I can play videos that I purchased from iTunes and downloaded them directly to the iPhone from the store itself.

### 5/5 — Keeps getting better!!!

*2014-05-16, version 1.2*

Best 99 cents I've spent yet!!! Used to have this feature before IOS 7 but Apple removed it! What a dumb move! Anyway, glad to have it back! Keep the updates coming!!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2014-05-02, version 1.1*

I never leave reviews, but had to with this one. Like many others, really annoyed about the whole removal of playing video playlists. This fixed it completely, downloaded to my iPad mini, installed, it found all my playlists and played them in full screen no bother. A real class app....

### 1/5 — Still doesnt play video.

*2014-04-23, version 1.1*

This app played videos only on the first day I had it, then no more. I thought it stopped because it wanted me to buy it so I did. It still only plays audio, no video. Very disappointed. Why does it work for some but not everyone?  Is there anything I should do??
