Super-stylish Video Player App

This is probably my favorite video player on the entire App Store. A real gem.. I’d pay for the premium just to support this project. Every essential feature is absolutely free and the design aesthetic is cleaaaaaaan. Can’t praise it enough. It’s only missing a ‘lock’ feature that could be set when watching videos (just like in VLC). Also, I’d love it if we could set images as a background for video folders!

Very good, but ...

Nice player, easy to use with an excellent interface. However I have found that it has difficulty with some HEVC files with dropped frames and jerky motion. VLC plays same files with no issue. I don't doubt that the troublesome files may have been poorly compressed as it is easy to make choices that cause difficulty with playback. Still, VLC didn't even break a sweat.

Amazing

Been using VLC for years, but some features were missing. Once I got my iPad I decided to find an alternative, and Outplayer is amazing!!!!! Has everything I would ever want in a video player. Thank you.
