Seems the best, by a mile.
This is the one to get for local video playback. It's unmatched as far as I've seen, and nice to use. Except...
Bugs:
After you AirPlay a h.265 video and pause it, you won't be able to play it locally again without video stuttering (unless you disable hardware decode). That's a pretty huge bug.
On top of that, the external document picker doesn't let you pick any files at all, meaning you have to import (duplicate) everything.
nPlayer Plus:
There's an upgraded version called nPlayer Plus but no way to upgrade to it. It's a separate purchase. I'm not sure if "Dolby Sound Effect" in Plus is a surround-sound feature or something else. Searching was inconclusive.
Cloud storage:
The built-in cloud services generally don't work because the authentication methods are way out of date. This is ironic cos it has a browser built-in already.
Media servers:
I'd like to see support for some of the popular proprietary media servers, but I don't currently use one so it's no issue for now.
Apple Watch:
This is top of my list for nPlayer. It would be cool if it had an Apple Watch app, and if it could transcode videos to the right resolution for the Watch to play. Some people say it's a gimmick, but it's not - listening through headphones and being able to glance at the screen is a practical way to watch many things, and that suits the Watch even better than it suits the iPhone.
Apple TV:
It's surprising that it doesn't have an AppleTV app, but I don't mind. It can AirPlay to the AppleTV and to AirPlay-compatible TV sets.

No upgrades
I’ve bought nPlayer paid version for $4.99.
For me there are not enough features. Usually, in this case, but another application, you pay additional money and get upgraded application, higher level. In this application there is no this option. You have to buy another application, nPlayer Plus in my case. So what for I need 2 same application, otherwise I wast $4.99 for nothing! No good

Better than VLC
I was a linguine VLC user across all platforms beforei found this app. This is so good, absolutely the best for video and audio.
Сломали
Не воспроизводит звук сериалов и фильмов старых. VLC воспроизводит без проблем. Сломали приложение, раньше видео воспризводилось без проблем , обновил и теперь некоторые видео нельзя смотреть, очень долго грузятся и пропадает звук. Также пропала функция, чтобы после воспроизведния последнего файла в папке, начать воспроизводить сначала. Ipad pro 12.9 m1
