There are better options.

Just wanted a free video app, don't want to see features I can click then be informed come on pay up.

I wish there was a way to just hide anything in these apps that was paid junk.

Moved to infuse app, if that fails I'll use Vic.

Couldn’t ask for anything better

Probably when I bought it years ago the loop option didn’t save. The developer appears to have made it save the “Mode” when you set it to loop since I’ve last used the app. I tested it after they replied to me. They were hard to contact before when I first purchased the app. App has everything I could ask for at this point and runs amazingly! Thanks for letting me know of the new functionality.

Better alternative to the ‘bigger’ media players on the App Store

Best minimal and clean media player app that I have tried out of all the big hitters on the App Store. Bought the pro version without a second thought to support the dev.

Only thing it’s missing is maybe toggles for mono audio or downsampling, incremental speed adjustments instead of fixed and maybe showing chapters in the seekbar which could all be addressed in future updates. Also maybe ytdlp support for webstreaming…

Please keep this app minimal and free of unnecessary bloat like the others!

Missing one feature

It's an amazing app, but I'd like to have videos be able to loop by default as an option. I tried to contact the dev but they seem to be unresponsive.

Excellent

Are you joking? Only 37MB install which does Picture in Picture from any video in my iOS files app? Great work Stephen (the developer)! Thanks for your work. Excellent app. I’m so grateful.
