It’s just set part A and set part B. VLC media player also has a set part A and part B, but it doesn’t have picture and picture. This one is one of the better ones of all the ones out there that have picture-in-picture capabilities, but can we not implement a repeat feature ? Being the year 2026 I don’t understand how that’s not possible. The only other thing is when it plays long videos that are about 20 minutes or more it’ll just freeze or simply crash and if you try to add too many things to a playlist or access the history after you’ve compressed quite a few videos it will just crash every time until you clear the history. I don’t understand how the developer(s)don’t test their own app to validate whether or not it works especially for larger projects, like when someone wants to add 12 to 15 videos and create a playlist which the app clearly is supposed to do, but then it doesn’t work. when you go to open the app back up and tap on one of those videos, it just simply crashes every single time. So the only way to get it to work is to clear the playlist and clear the history and you just have to manually open one video at a time. Come on now. ### 2/5 — App stops working after a year or so *2026-01-17, version 2.6.1* I bought the premium 1-2 ish years ago and slowly it started breaking down after a year, eg not loading the video unless I closed and reopened the app, the history causing the app to slow down. Just a whole bunch of issues, but as of today it broke down fully and now it won’t load a video. Would rate it 4 stars if it didn’t break :( ### 3/5 — App stopped working recently *2025-01-03, version 2.5.2* Seems like YouTube updated recently because this and another app I’m using have stopped working. ### 1/5 — Ha dejado de funcionar *2024-05-29* Aunque se cerraba sola a veces si que funcionaba pero ahora ya nada tengo la versión premium desde hace 2 años. Y es la primera vez que me aale el error No se ha podido completar la operación. (Error de PythonKit.PythonError 0.) ### 2/5 — Buy it again? *2024-03-11, version 2.4* I have had this app for years and now that it is on my iPad, the restore purchases button does not work and it says the app must be purchased again and cannot be restored. What is going on? I have already bought this app, and will not be purchasing it again. ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne plus. *2024-02-13* Ne fonctionne plus. ### 1/5 — Bug(again) *2023-12-19, version 2.4* The videos I saved before I’m still able to play, but when I pip a new video it doesn’t work. ### 3/5 — Um.. *2023-10-08, version 2.4* The first time it worked fine. The second time too. Then every other time I tried it wouldn’t work no matter what I tried.. I don’t know what’s going on… Can someone help? ### 1/5 — No longer works *2023-10-05, version 2.4* Keeps saying something about a Python error ### 1/5 — Find Something Else *2023-09-03, version 2.3* Used trial version and it seemed to work okay, so purchased full version.. fast forward a few months: app constantly crashes, needs to be “refreshed”, videos start over if stopped and come back to finish. Videos in playlist will only play sometimes (otherwise app crashes). Other times will only play if watching from first video in list. For the last few days, app completely stopped working. App has a “tip jar” - would be happy to tip for something that worked well… not sure why they think customers would want to contribute to something that works less than half the time (I’m not going to tip for developers to keep working on it… app should have been better developed before releasing). Currently checking out other apps that provide a Picture in Picture function. You should too. ### 1/5 — Isma *2023-09-02* Ich habe das Geld bezahlt und es hat nur einen Monat lang funktioniert und es stürzt nicht mehr ab. Es ist keine 0,0 Euro wert ### 1/5 — Will not work *2023-09-02, version 2.3* Worked well for about 4 weeks then stopped. I’ve tried removing and reinstalling and restarting my iPad with no luck. I’ve also made sure YouTube is the latest version. It’s not good paying for the lifetime of an app and it only lasting 4 weeks. ### 1/5 — im js the 300th review *2023-09-02, version 2.3* nothinf to review trash app ### 1/5 — Crashes when I try to play a video *2023-09-01, version 2.3* Crashes ### 2/5 — فكر قبل الشراء *2023-09-01, version 2.3* خايس مو كل مقطع يشغله غير انه بفلوس وفي غيره بلاش يسوي افضل منه مع الاسف ### 1/5 — Acaban de actualizar *2023-08-30* Y se cierra la app y no va ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer works *2026-01-15, version 2.6.1* No longer works with iOS 26. Multiple email attempts to customer service with no response. Previously had great experience with getting support, so moving rating from 5 stars to 1. ### 1/5 — Bug(again)(again)(AGAIN for the third time 2025!) *2025-11-16, version 2.6.1* Certain videos don’t play for whatever reason. ### 1/5 — App not working. *2025-10-30, version 2.6.1* None of the videos load in the app, this has been going on for 2 weeks and don’t get me started on favorites which hasn’t worked for me in over a year. This app doesn’t get any updates & the Devs give vague responses. DON’T BUY THIS APP ### 1/5 — Bug(again)(again) *2025-06-09, version 2.6.1* When I click to play the videos the app closes. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2025-03-04, version 2.6* No updates for 2 years! Buggy as hell. Lost all my favourites. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-02-05, version 2.5.2* Paid for it and cannot use it. ### 1/5 — App completely broken not supported by the dev *2025-01-20, version 2.5.2* The app has not been able to play a video from YouTube in over a year now. ### 1/5 — Shocking *2024-10-06, version 2.5.2* To expect people to pay for this is a disgrace it’s always crashing or not working ### 1/5 — Worst App *2024-07-29, version 2.5.2* It simply doesn’t work anymore on YouTube. I am regretting my decision to purchase this app. ### 1/5 — Was great, now buggy. *2024-07-14* I saved videos to “favorites”, but when I tap on “favorites”, the app closes. The app used to be great, but sadly I can’t recommend it, as it’s way too buggy. Updates haven’t solved the issues. If it improves, I’ll update my review. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Updated for IOS 26! Fantastic app! Better than any other PIP *2026-02-07, version 2.7* Works perfectly and 5 stars. Appreciate developer for updating support for iOS 26. It's been a long 9 months! ### 5/5 — Works now *2025-02-20, version 2.6* Works for videos saved in my files app now ### 5/5 — L’application fonctionne *2024-11-06* L’application fonctionne à nouveau , merci aux développeurs 🫡 ### 5/5 — AWE-SOME !!! *2024-05-13, version 2.4* Just what iPhone needed !!! Please consider making any/all play lists in landscape mode. ### 5/5 — I like this app! *2023-06-16, version 2.1* I use this app every day and I like it! One day I had a problem: “The operation couldn’t be completed. Pip_it_.DataManagerError error 0”. I wrote to customer service. They answered really quickly. Sherwin gave me instruction to fix this error. I did it. It was very easy. And now I can enjoy this app again. Thank you! ### 5/5 — très pratique *2023-05-21* j’utilise l’application pour streamer des videos téléchargées en torrent & hebergées sur ma freebox, depuis mon téléphone je peux donc : - télécharger une série depuis ma freebox - et la lire sur mon téléphone en PiP tout en marchant et en jouant a pokemonGo mdr franchement j’aurais pu le dev mais ça fonctionne très bien donc merci ! ### 5/5 — Amazing app but please update! *2023-03-28, version 2.1* This is what Pip was always suppose to be! ### 5/5 — Is This App Still Being Supported? *2023-03-27, version 2.1* It’s great but if it isn’t going to be supported, just remove it from app store. If you need a subscription model, please make it like $1/month. ### 5/5 — I don’t usually leave reviews but this app is great *2022-07-18, version 2.1* So I’ve paused a video that was playing in this app just to write this, I use this app a lot and have bought the full version but I just realized and really appreciate that the subtitles even follow the video, some videos I specifically want subtitles for and this is perfect. A little hit and miss sometimes but to be expected and hasn’t gotten in my way so far, I use this app everyday and it’s great ### 5/5 — Quick response *2022-07-01, version 2.1* The had stopped working and I reached out to get the issues resolved and they responded without delay. This is a great app and the developer stands behind their work. 👊🏿 I Appreciate the hard work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
