Avoid
This app use to be good
Most Excellent Media Player
I can upload and organize my media the way I want to unlike iOS forces you to. I’ve had no problems with various codec formats.
I personally like PlayerXtreme’s ability to download subtitles when watching video. That’s fantastic for foreign film watchers like myself and hard of hearing people (like my spouse (shh 🤫)).
Keeps Repeating same track
I have reported this before but it never gets fixed .
Playback Speed
New look but !
From good too bad
Good app but controls are not great
I deducted a star because the controls drive me crazy on a regular basis. I’ve been using this app for about 3 years or so, and I still encounter frustrations pretty much every single time I use the app. It always asks if I want to start playing where I left off, but it never does; it always starts from the beginning. Also, inevitably I touch my iPhone accidentally when picking it up, and that brief accidental touch causes the video to jump forward or backward, causing me to lose my place. Although it’s annoying, I’m not really complaining because it’s free and it plays videos. But this issue with the controls definitely holds me back from paying for the full version.
Best of the Best
There is nothing even close to the ease and quality of this app. If you choose not to use it, you are making a huge mistake.
General ok but some issues need fixed
1. The app used to open instantly. Now it takes about 10 seconds to open with a loading bar (no clue what it’s doing, app barely looks different besides some UI elements?)
2. Attached keyboard arrows don’t work while playing a video, in other apps or native iOS video player, it jumps back or forward, or up/down handles the volume.
3. When on VPN, the web browser doesn’t show at all. You have to force close the app and it will only show up as an option in the network screen if VPN is off.
The BEST app ive ever used
Works for what I need
I was a great application till now…
app is useless and will not download anymore
Good player
The February 2024 updates and “bug fixes”
The newest bug fixes and updates have taken a very usable video player that was very easy to airplay with, and made it a clunky system.
Example. Before February 2024 you open AirPlay and connect to tv and you’d the folders and file view on your phone and tv both. Once you started a video it would black screen the phone and open full screen on the tv.
Only the video would be on the tv and only the controls would show on the phone. Now as of February 2024 it’s a mirror of the phone at all times. If you pick up the phone to fast forward rewind skip or anything the controls cover half the picture and if you rotate position the tv picture does as well. And as always there appears no way to undo these unwanted changes.
TLDR: playerextreme makes external screen always mirror phone view and rotation completely.
