### 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 — This app is by far the worst media player out there

*2025-11-28, version 3.13.0*

You can't even watch your own files without a ad I get having some ads like around and stuff but I should not get more ads using your app than literally browsing the web one ad per file is way to many it should be around there or one ad per 10 files

### 2/5 — ios26 compatibility

*2025-11-17, version 3.13.0*

No new updates for ios26 liquid glass ?

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-11-15, version 3.13.0*

It's not like there are no other free and ad-free audio players out there. What makes the developer think that we will opt for full screen video ads before playing our tunes?

### 1/5 — Проблема со звуком

*2025-07-19*

В уже ранее скаченных фильмах, при просмотре полностью отсутствует звук. Ранее эти фильмы показывались нормально. Проблема стала последние 3-4 месяца.

### 4/5 — It’s very confusing

*2025-06-07*

### 1/5 — Dts headphone x feature removed

*2025-06-06, version 3.13.0*

Why would you remove the dts headphone x feature?? It’s main feature that compelled me to purchase the nplayer plus. I had to ask for refund after realizing that headphone x feature was removed

### 4/5 — Google drive sign in not working

### 1/5 — No longer support TLS1.3

*2025-05-03, version 3.13.0*

No longer support TLS1.3

### 1/5 — Не оплачивайте приложение

*2025-04-22*

Раньше пользовался - было более менее. Но сейчас повыскакивали какие-то косяки - то кнопки например Назад не нажимается, то после продолжения просмотра звук не включается и при добавлении или уменьшении громкости это никак не влияет, то грузится фильм вечность. В общем раньше было на 5, сейчас на -1

### 1/5 — Poor Option

*2025-04-20*

After purchasing also ad is coming

### 1/5 — Сломали

*2025-04-07*

Критины после обновления сломали возможность воспроизведения из iCloud Drive.

### 1/5 — Spam

*2025-03-30, version 3.13.0*

Waste of time had to watch 3 commercial to see a video 🙄🙄

### 1/5 — Реклама казино

*2025-03-26*

В этом приложении агрессивная реклама, мягко говоря.

### 2/5 — Removed google drive?

*2025-03-20, version 3.13.0*

Why? That was the only reason to use your app.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — Can’t evaluate too many advertisements

*2026-02-19, version 3.13.0*

I wanted to check out this player to see how well it worked before purchasing a version without advertisements. It was the most frustrating thing I ever tried to accomplish.  Every time I tried to play a video I got multiple advertisements. Never got a video to play.  If they are so bent on making it difficult to review, then i’m not interested. Going to uninstall and move on to something else.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-01-28, version 3.13.0*

It doesn’t actually play video files. It just plays a bunch of ads and opens popups when you press the X-out button for them. Should be removed from the App Store.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t play

*2026-01-02, version 3.13.0*

Selected playlist. Tried playing direct from usb drive. Little box comes up saying “external storage “ and nothing. Lame

### 1/5 — Ad ridden mess

*2025-12-09, version 3.13.0*

So many ads in this thing it’s unusable

### 5/5 — Please new update

*2026-07-26, version 3.13.0*

Please new update

### 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

### 5/5 — Hiding folders

*2026-01-06, version 3.13.0*

Please fix the issue with locked folders. After you put a password on folder files i side it still can be seen in recents. Other players and vaults don’t have this problem, so it’s definitely possible. Otherwise great player with lots of customization.

### 5/5 — Great player!

*2025-07-01*

Particularly the dlna support is working great. And the ability to continue on various songs.
Only thing what fails on my iPhone SE is the controls in the little pop up player. It’s only by accident that the buttons respond on tapping them.
Also it would help a lot when they were bigger

### 5/5 — Merciii

*2024-10-01*

Enfin une application/lecteur vidéo complete avec pleins de possibilité de réglage et qui fonctionne parfaitement.. Merci de l’avoir proposé sur l’iPhone

### 5/5 — Perfect video player app

*2024-05-24, version 3.12.17*

this was suggested to me as a good option for playing video on a ipad. Works perfectly and good value at £4.99 (unlike the rather overpriced player that seems to sit at the top of the app store list). thoroughly recommended.

### 5/5 — Showing stereo when playing Dolby content

*2024-04-25*

I’m using AirPods Pro. Showing as stereo in audio tag when playing Dolby content but showing as Dolby atmos when switching to pip mode. Does this free version supports Dolby?

### 5/5 — Please Disable Volume Boost

*2024-03-16, version 3.12.17*

Please allow to disable volume boost !!

### 5/5 — NAS를 사용하는 유저에게 최고의 선택

*2024-02-09*

VLC 플레이어를 사용하다가 보안 FTP 연결이 불가능해 넘어왔습니다. nPlayer의 경우 WebDAV 연결을 지원하고 미디어 정보가 표시되는 등 좋은 포인트들이 있었습니다.

### 5/5 — 好评
