### 5/5 — Please new update

*2026-07-26, version 3.13.0*

Please new update

### 1/5 — Save Your Money, It Doesn’t Work

*2026-07-22, version 3.13.0*

Don’t even think about buying this player. I tested both the Lite and Pro versions and ended up requesting a refund.

The app wouldn’t play any audio at all. I contacted the developer, but after several days I still haven’t received a response.

Until the developer updates the app to properly support the latest iOS version and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, I can’t recommend it. Save your money and look for a different player.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with SANDISK USB

*2026-07-20, version 3.13.0*

Downloaded this to play music off my SANDISK on my iPhone. Just keeps telling me that SANDISK is in use by another app, even when it’s the only app running. Two stars for nice interface, one star for not working.

### 3/5 — Disable Audio track for TTS Audio only

*2026-06-25*

Please add option to disable the audio track or provide separate volume sliders for audio and subtitle tts, so that we can mute the audio and only hear the srt tts instead of both audio and srt tts.

### 1/5 — 8 ads just to not even play the file

*2026-06-23, version 3.13.0*

No chance I’m going to purchase after greedy ignorant behavior.  If you can’t even play the file say so, don’t waste my time.

### 5/5 — Наконец-то приложение где работает добавление субтитров

*2026-06-21*

Отличное приложение, у меня было видео и скачанные к нему субтитры, и это приложение единственное которое смогло воспроизвести видео с субтитрами. Причем они добавлялись автоматически, достаточно только загрузить в приложение само видео и файл с субтитрами. Реклама есть, но она идет жалкие 5 секунд и всплывает не каждый раз при открытии видео. Интерфейс еще конечно кривоватый, кому-то может быть непонятно

### 1/5 — Waste of time Lot of ads Player doesn’t work

*2026-06-17*

Guys Lot of ads in this app. I have never seen this much annoying ads in any other app till now but this app is really disappointing me. Uninstalling this app.

### 1/5 — Annoying Ads

*2026-06-05*

Annoying intrusive ads that don’t disappear after playing.  When you click to close, it opens links on browser to more advertisers.  Then it wouldn’t play file.  Junk spam, adware.  Lousy product!

### 1/5 — No access to files

*2026-05-16, version 3.13.0*

No way to play my existing media so absolutely pointless.

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage

*2026-02-20, version 3.13.0*

Try to play a video from your DLNA server and the app hijacks and opens safari and directs you to ad sites and temu
