### 5/5 — Absolutely the best

*2023-07-11*

I have tried a lot of video apps on my iPad and this is in a league of it’s own. Even VLC does not come close.

### 5/5 — AWESOME tool for learning

*2019-11-08, version 2.7.6*

This app is unbelievably great for learning by watching. 
- TONS of playback controls, most with gesture control including customization!! (speed of slow play, how far to rewind)
- Zoom AND pan. So useful for focus e.g. a guitarist’s fretting hand
- In-app product tour. I’ve never seen such an easy and comprehensive help function. You are introduced to each element in a self-paced manner and can interact with it while viewing help.
So useful given how powerful this app is!

I am truly amazed at how thoughtfully developed this app is. Shows a lot of customer empathy. Thank you a million!!

### 5/5 — Not importing video

*2019-03-14, version 2.7.6*

Love this app when it worked. It has been my favorite app especially love the remark feature. However it seems stopped working these days. For some reason it can’t import videos from my photo album. Reinstalled didn’t help. The app display something about “Not Registered”

**Developer response:** Thank you for using "Touch The Video" .
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Are you using "iCloud Photos"?
If you used "iCloud Photos" please refer to here.

### 1/5 — App itself is great but doesn’t pick up my videos in camera roll

*2018-09-23, version 2.7.6*

The app has great features, I love the flexibility and control, especially the slow motion and frame by frame.  However, the app does a horrible job of “seeing” videos in my camera roll.  Only picks up 2 or 3 of many and sometimes after I play one of the ones that show up it disappears the next time I open the app.  Very frustrating.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using "Touch The Video" .
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Are you using "iCloud Photos"?
Even if iCloud photo does not have original file, thumbnail is displayed on camera roll, but T.T.Video is specification which can not detect without original file.

To download the original file please do as follows.
1.In the list of photo applications, select "Select" mode and select the file you want to download.
2.Select "Save to files" from the export button in the lower left.
3.The message "Preparing ..." is displayed. You will wait until it is over.
4.When you are finished you can ask for a storage location, but "Cancel" here.

Then we think that it can be detected by opening T.T.Video

### 5/5 — This app so great

*2018-09-09, version 2.7.6*

I having used an app call SpeedUpTv on my phone but when I look for to installed it on iPad I did have to pay again. Good thing that when I was looking for it I found this one that does so many things that it makes me write this Review, I’m so thankful to find an app like this. Thank you guys for making this app so great.

### 5/5 — PikaQuefy

*2018-03-13, version 2.7.4*

By far my favorite video player of all time. Every update makes it run smoother, fulfilling all of my needs! c':

UPDATE: The converting feature has a lot of cool options to tinker with, but it still doesn't work for most videos that are longer than a minute. Clarification or improvements of this feature would be great. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Remarkable

*2017-11-08, version 2.7.5*

I’ve had this app for years and it is amazing.  With the frequent updates, makes it invaluable!

### 4/5 — Great Video Player.  Missing One Feature to make it a Five Star Rating

*2016-08-30, version 2.5.2*

This video player has a lot of good features that I was looking for to play videos of sports plays and situations for training/educating officials.
What would make this a five is ability to draw circles or arrows on the screen to highlight certain situations during play back.  I have not been able to find a video player for iPad that could do that.  With Apple Pen that would be a great feature to add and I'd be willing to pay.

### 5/5 — Love love love TTVideo

*2016-05-21, version 2.5*

Love all the features this app provides. The ability to move through videos with swipes is awesome. Marking, repeat, file management. It's great.

The only thing that could make this app 100% perfect is the ability to download videos from websites with some sort of built in browser like some other video downloading apps have. That would be perfect.

### 5/5 — Great app, need folders to organized

*2016-04-25, version 2.4*

I like to download some training videos (e.g., sports and many "how to") and copy them on the app, and watch them to learn new skills and knowledge.  It would be great if the app can create folders so that I can keep myself organized.
