Although the video player functions well on smaller files, the app fails to read larger files such as 4.5 gb. ### 4/5 — Perfect expensive *2020-01-18, version 4.8.2* Perfect in playing encoding load subs but premium is not worth ### 3/5 — Subtitles don't work *2019-10-22, version 4.8.1* Needs updated file support for iPads. I can't add seem to add subtitles if I'm viewing a video from my iPad local storage, even when the subtitles are already in the same folder. The user manual tells you to import files using iTunes -- who has iTunes anymore?? ### 4/5 — Video Enhancement *2019-10-20, version 4.8.1* Need a repeat playback option for videos. ### 4/5 — Nice *2019-05-19, version 4.7.4* Excellent just what I been looking for ### 5/5 — Great *2019-03-01, version 4.7.3* Great app, supports PIP. You can skip ahead and back like fast forwarding with just a swipe (though only in the app not the PIP). It lags a bit if the device gets locked while pausing but bearable. ### 2/5 — Personal issues *2019-02-10, version 4.7.3* App isn’t terrible. Supports PIP, which is more than VLC can say. I tried this for school lectures and you can speed up the video, which is nice. But the video will slow back down if you try to use PIP, i.e. PIP only works on normal speed. It’s like the perfect app just doesn’t exist, there will always be one little bugaboo that exponentially reduces its usefulness. The search continues. ### 5/5 — Awesome (though hide the dock bar!) *2019-01-14, version 4.7.1* Fantastic video player, plays all formats I need, AND has picture-in-picture for multi-tasking! One thing needed, however, is to hide the “dock” bar at the bottom when watching full screen. It currently STAYS white and is very bothersome. ### 4/5 — File delete *2019-01-12, version 4.7.1* Hi guys How to delete files in power hd app? Tnx ### 3/5 — Useful but buggy and annoying *2018-12-03, version 4.7* Nice to change speed on local videos. But Sound cuts out sometimes when jumping around to different places in the video. Wish it had easier forward/backward jumping or scrubbing controls. Also the directory is pretty painful to read with text on top of screen grabs. ### 3/5 — I can’t open the app after IOS new update *2018-10-05, version 4.6.5* This app is good but 2 days ago whyI update my IOS version, and wanted to open the app , it doesn’t work and suddenly shoot me out of the app!!! Please represent new version which can adapt to new ios. ### 5/5 — hhffđ *2018-09-24, version 4.6.5* jjjjjj ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 20£ *2025-05-06, version 5.6* To sub per year ### 1/5 — Caution!
