And that is the very best thing. Your idevice's playlists show up in this app and then you pick your video from there and YOU DON'T GET THAT STUPID ALBUM COVER WITH LANDSCAPE MODE FROM IOS! YAY YAY YAY!!! ### 5/5 — Finally! *2014-02-04, version 1.0* Only app that plays a playlist of purchased music videos successfully. Well done. ### 5/5 — What took so long to create this? *2014-01-29, version 1.0* Finally! An app that will shuffle my music videos! Even works full screen via the HDMI adapter out to my TV. ### 5/5 — It works!!!!!!! *2014-01-28, version 1.0* Finally the frustration of os7 is over it works and I can watch my music videos in Landscape as God intended 😃 A+ ### 5/5 — Works. *2014-01-08, version 1.0* Does what he says it does. Replaces a function apple idiots should never have ever screwed with. As far Asimov concerned apple owes me the money it cost to test apps to replace missing basic functions. ### 5/5 — Works Great!!! *2014-01-05, version 1.0* I can exercise to my music videos I bought at iTunes! I put videos in playlist in music app, then chose playlist with this new app and now can watch all my music videos shuffled in landscape mode! I Love It! I use my ipad because of it's larger screen, but I'm sure it will also play on my iphone. ### 5/5 — Good app *2014-01-04, version 1.0* Works nicely for all of my video's and music. When playing a song without video it just shows a black screen, but at least you can hear the music. This app does play video's that have been purchased from iTunes as long as I download them from iCloud in the default music app first. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-01-04, version 1.0* Awesome App! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 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?? ### 1/5 — Does not work... *2014-03-19, version 1.1* Can’t play the music videos I purchased from Apple. ### 1/5 — Don't download. *2014-03-06, version 1.1* This did not work for me. Don't waste your dollar. ### 1/5 — No landscape for iTunes purchase *2014-02-09, version 1.0* While the author states this app will play full screen video, the important omission is it will not play iTunes DRM purchases. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Thank you *2014-03-04, version 1.1* So far so good. Works fine on Ipod Touch 5 and Ipad mini w/ retina. I was so angry to lose landscape mode in my music app. I use music video playlists to workout with. Video mode plays one at a time, not possible while you are on treadmill, please! Portrait mode on the Ipod Touch was way too small. And, I had been so happy with it in landscape mode. 99cents is easy to have back what Apple idiots stole from us. Thank you so much. ### 4/5 — Thanks for fixing Apple's mistake *2014-02-20, version 1.0* When Apple released ios7 they removed the ability to watch music video playlists in landscape mode. Thanks for providing this alternative. ### 4/5 — Finally. *2014-01-06, version 1.0* This app works with your playlist from iTunes. And it works seamlessly. You don't have to do anything. No Apple TV yet which is why I gave it 4 stars but otherwise perfect. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 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.... ### 5/5 — Great *2014-03-21, version 1.1* THANK YOU, SIR :-) ### 5/5 — You fixed my phone!! *2014-03-13, version 1.1* OMG!!! You don't even know how happy you have made me... FULL SCREEN is back, shuffle play, my itunes playlists. PERFECT!!! Thank You Very Much ### 5/5 — Solves Landscape Music Video Issue *2014-03-11, version 1.1* This app solves the issue created by iOS7, which eliminated landscape mode for music videos on your iPhone, while in your iTunes music app! ### 5/5 — Fixed it! *2014-03-10, version 1.1* On the iPad: It now shuffles. It now utilizes the full screen in landscape. It’s generally a cleaner interface as well. Thank you! One suggestion would be to display the name of the song playing when the controls are visible (ie when I touch the screen on the ipad) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
