### 5/5 — Best media player for iOS

*2026-06-12, version 3.13.0*

All the best features including pop out player. Works fantastic with my home media server. I love being able to download movies/shows from my own server for offline playback.

### 4/5 — Dark Mode app icons

*2026-05-08, version 3.13.0*

It would be nice if can update the Dark Mode app icons introduced in iOS 18

### 5/5 — Super

*2026-04-19*

The best player.

### 5/5 — 时隔一年未更新

*2026-03-26, version 3.13.0*

时隔一年仍未更新，更新一下吧

### 1/5 — Does not play

*2026-03-12, version 3.13.0*

I tried playing the videos in my photos app album as a playlist, and individually. Nothing happens. All I see is a circling yellow buffer animation even after fifteen minutes. My videos are not large… between 100mb and 800mb. But nothing happens. Why isn't this working??

### 2/5 — Quits

*2026-02-09, version 3.13.0*

Quits instantly after playing two seconds of prores video

### 1/5 — ネットワークはほぼ使えない。

*2026-01-25*

前々からDropboxは使えなくなっていましたが、とうとうGoogleドライブも排除されたようです。
購入した時にはローカルに保存しないで動画が見られるのが強みだったのに全く使い物にならないアプリになってしまいました。
操作性はよかったのでとても残念です。

今から購入しようとしている人はやめた方がいいです。

### 2/5 — Some functionality broken

*2026-01-17, version 3.13.0*

This is the only video app out of many I’ve tried that fails when trying to set it as the default app for all video files in the iOS Files app. iOS instantly reverts it to the previous app association unless you set it to only associate a single file at a time

### 5/5 — Tried VLC for free, then bought this instead

*2026-01-11, version 3.13.0*

This app actually works as intended: A player that opens and plays many different file formats without hassle. In the case of VLC, which I spent hours trying to get it to work with my files, “free” wasn’t worth it. Buy this one and save yourself the trouble

### 2/5 — Cant set as Default App

*2025-12-26, version 3.13.0*

None of the multiple versions of nPlayer (lite, normal, plus) allow me to add them as the default app to open mp4 files in. Which makes watching things through it very tedious as i have to go through each individual file and set it to nPlayer
