### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-28, version 6.1.8*

字幕搜索好多搜不到中文，不知道为啥，首选语言已经选了中文

### 3/5 — 排版问题

*2026-08-26, version 6.1.8*

### 4/5 — Good but need fix

*2026-08-08, version 6.1.6*

Choose subtitle language is frustrating
App setting has dual subtitle but can’t use both from online search
Consider add option to search metadata with opensubtitle it’s much easier 
Now search subtitle is messy and all languages together and even unrelated subtitle will show up, thank you

### 5/5 — Active dev that actually listens

*2026-07-25, version 6.1.5*

This media player constantly evolves and grows and the dev actually listens to user feedback and bugs. The latest builds continue to optimize and get better highlighting stability and improved picture and audio support. Highly recommend!

*2026-07-20, version 6.1.5*

完美，一流app

### 4/5 — Improve Subtitle and media Search

*2026-07-19*

Great app! One suggestion: when I tap Search Subtitles, it should automatically start searching. Also, if a preferred subtitle language is selected, the results should show only that language by default instead of all languages. This would make subtitle selection much faster and easier.
Also, the search function in All Media Library doesn’t return any results, even though my library contains matching videos. Please fix the search/indexing so it can reliably find media by filename or title.

### 4/5 — 下载问题

*2026-07-19*

下载视频的过程中，如果切换到别的软件没有退出，下载进度就会归零不会继续下载，属于现在处于没办法下载的状态，请问是为什么呢，应该怎么解决。

### 2/5 — Player NOT Streamer

*2026-07-19, version 6.1.5*

Does not stream in the true sense. Many cross incapabilities …

### 3/5 — Decent client, but keeping an eye on connection stability

*2026-07-17, version 6.1.5*

If you are trying to stream your own movie collection via Jellyfin, be prepared for some typical Apple TV setup quirks. Apple already makes it intentionally difficult to use your own media server on Apple TV because they want you renting movies from them instead, meaning the system is constantly wiping temporary app files. 

A paid app like Senplayer should be built to seamlessly protect your login info from being cleared by these operating system sweeps, but it seems to save your configuration and network connection details in a somewhat volatile spot. In my experience, the app completely lost my saved server profile and required a fresh configuration. I will definitely be keeping an eye on it moving forward to see if this is going to be a recurring issue.

UPDATE: I finally managed to get the app signed back into my account cleanly. I am bumping my rating up to 3 stars because, when it is actually connected and working, Senplayer is a genuinely great client with a smooth interface. If it can prove that it stays stable and keeps my server connections saved over the long haul without any more random deletions, it will easily earn 5 stars from me.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No family sharing available

*2026-07-13*

This is way expensive for a single user.

### 1/5 — Not working on Jellyfin v12

*2026-07-03, version 6.1.3*

SenPlayer still uses the old authentication used by Jellyfin but they discontinued it on version 10.11.11. 

Now SenPlayer can't connect to Jellyfin

### 1/5 — No Plex, no smb/nfs.. just local or link

*2026-06-23, version 6.1.2*

Idk what it’s supposed to do to handle Plex or things it advertises, but they sure don’t work here.  No way to add anything other than simple stream url.  Deleted

### 1/5 — 太卡了！！！！！

*2026-06-22, version 6.1.2*

为什么现在突然变得很卡！！！

### 1/5 — Browsing by genre doesn’t work.

*2026-06-13, version 6.1.1*

Using Jellyfin, browsing tv shows by genre doesn’t sort properly. Instead of displaying. “Shows” it displays episodes and some random order.
So the feature is effectively broken.
If you want to be able browse a large Jellyfin library by genre, find something else.

### 1/5 — AppleTV 6.1.0 Option to remove “Main” button module.  Add blue color progress bar option like iOS

*2026-06-06, version 6.1.0*

May you think about adding an option to remove the new module called “Main”?  It was just added to the AppleTV 6.1.0 version of the app and it’s annoying because I only use SenPlayer’s “Record” module for my NAS video files. I never use things like Plex or Emby or the other types. I just would like an option to remove the “Main” module so I only have to see [“Record” “Resources” “Settings”] like I had it before version 6.1.0

### 1/5 — Why did you remove a good feature?

*2026-06-05, version 6.1.0*

Are you serious? I was just about to upgrade to the Pro version, but this update has removed a feature I use regularly. In Model Config → Options → Models, you’ve taken away the ability to hide “Main” and “Resources.” I don’t understand why this functionality was removed.

If some users prefer the new setup, that’s perfectly fine, but why not keep the option available for those of us who want it? For many users, being able to hide those sections helps create a cleaner, less cluttered interface and makes navigation more efficient.

Removing the feature entirely takes away a level of customization that some of us rely on. Please consider bringing it back as an optional setting so users can choose the interface that works best for them, rather than being limited to a single layout.

### 1/5 — 批量清楚视频播放记录。

*2026-06-05, version 6.1.0*

如题。什么时候支持啊

### 1/5 — AppleTV 6.0.4 Update = Juddery Folder Scrolling

*2026-05-01, version 6.0.4*

After the 6.0.4 update the app for the AppleTV smoothness when scrolling through the folders in List and Grid mode is very clunky/choppy. Also the letter fonts for folder titles flash and vibrate-like  they are being shaken.  Maybe it is a bug but it is not fun.  If it’s a bug I will change my review back to 5star.

### 1/5 — To fix

*2026-04-17, version 6.0.2*

Enable the next video option in playback, in the favorites file, the video that is in the favorites list should be played, not the video that is in one of the favorite videos in the folder. I hope fix it soon. And stay updated. Be like samsung video player.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-27, version 6.1.8*

The app handles everything I throw at it! It also immediately found my local storage devices, which several apps seem to struggle with.  Thank you for a very nice utility!

### 5/5 — Very good no monthly payments

*2026-08-22, version 6.1.8*

Just a little money and anything can be played no subscription very nice I’m using it

### 5/5 — A good video player and that’s it

*2026-08-20, version 6.1.8*

Very good dev. Very intuitive and easy to use. I don’t think there is a better one on AppStore at such a price.

### 5/5 — 真好用

*2026-08-16, version 6.1.8*

最好用的一个app

### 5/5 — 播放器🎵

*2026-08-16, version 6.1.8*

好用，挺好的一个播放器，更新快

### 5/5 — 视频播放异常

*2026-08-14*

很好，但是最近出现视频自己会跳过一段，三到五分钟不等，且不能观看到跳过去的那段，但是进度条会显示跳过了一段

### 5/5 — 좋아요!

*2026-08-12*

화면을 슬라이드 하거나 프로그레스바를 드래그 하는 중에 작은 미리보기 없이 전체화면에서 재생 위치가 바뀌면 더욱 좋겠어요!

### 5/5 — 最好用播放器没有之一简直神了，5星希望能采纳意见

*2026-08-09*

希望能增加AI字幕， 开倍速看网课没有字幕，体验感就没有那么好。其他功能都超出预期，不要乱改就好，设置非常合理，能按需自己设置，完全不用用户自适应

### 5/5 — 以前用 infuse  现在换这个也还不错  性价比比那个软件高很多

*2026-08-08, version 6.1.7*

以前用 infuse  现在换这个也还不错  性价比比那个软件高很多
