### 5/5 — Best Video Player in App Store

*2015-02-09, version 2.2*

Best video player I have ever used and I have downloaded over 200 of them in the last five years. With this player, I can do anything I care about doing, with simplicity and ease (one handed). Accurate and fluid frame by frame both forward and reverse. On the fly frame extraction to camera roll and other social media, at full resolution. It's everything all the players should have been from the git go. Don't miss this one. Seriously! I almost wish I could get in touch with the author and promote this product on my website. It's just beautiful. Nuff said!

### 5/5 — Default to Reset

*2014-12-11, version 2.1.1*

My only beef with this app is every now and then the video thumbnail will turn to a blank gray screen and you      and you have to click the "Default to Reset" function to restore the video thumbnail to what it was before. Long story short wish there was a function to "Default to Reset" all thumbnail videos and not just doing each video one at a time, especially if you have a lot of videos and you have to reset each one one at a time, it will becoming all time consuming. That's my only beef w/this app, other then that it's my No.1 app love it much.

### 5/5 — BEST app for slow mo video playback & analysis!

*2014-10-21, version 2.1*

Frame by frame scrubbing with tuning in the fly, NO HUD on the screen very important for small iPhone screen, many settings for customization, very intuitive & ergonomic controls.
Awesome unique app!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2014-08-23, version 2.0.1*

Great job on this app! This app has many impressive features and options. You can zoom, slow down, speed up, make playlists, set markers, note favorites, etc. You can set it up to behave as you wish (e.g. loop, play next, stop, specify each time, start playing where left off or at beginning, play sound in background, etc.). You can choose a background color too, which is nice. Unlike some other apps, it accesses videos in both the camera roll and in the videos app. Works with AirPlay too. Can be a little confusing sometimes, but it's only because there are so many great features. The more you use it, the more you appreciate it. I would ask for two things to make it perfect. First, add brightness control to better view darker videos. Second, add option to lock in landscape mode regardless of the direction of the device. Please add these two features to make it totally perfect. This is already a great app and it is WELL worth the price. I'm so glad I purchased it!

### 5/5 — Perfect for animators/video reference!

*2013-12-12, version 1.8.2*

Awesome- this is perfect for scrubbing through video reference at different speeds. Love all the options and customizations. Hope this keeps being developed because I'd hate to see it go away. Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-04-09, version 1.1*

Invaluable for watching recorded lectures.  This lets me speed up slow talkers and set bookmarks for specific sections as I'm watching.  Haven't found a better app for this kinda stuff yet.

### 5/5 — So I'm surprised

*2012-03-17, version 1.1*

Every time I see an app like this I'm usually very skeptical because I've been promised features that aren't delivered but this one is definitely the exception! It works as described! The videos that I uploaded to my iPad in the videos app were automatically picked up by the app and I even was a le to download a .MP4 with my browser app (Dolphin HD) and open it with this app. Very happy!

### 5/5 — Works fine

*2012-03-02, version 1.0*

Does exactly what is says. Location services need to be turned on. Very useful for learning things by video.

### 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

### 1/5 — horrible sync

*2015-09-22, version 2.4*

sync is not working if I upload video to itunes

### 1/5 — What? No you tube link?!? I can't access

*2013-06-04, version 1.5*

I can't access my own camera roll without giving you my location?! What?! I want my money back! I'm only doing one star because zero is not an option.

### 1/5 — Do not buy this app

*2012-07-10, version 1.2.3*

I tried to record videos and it would not show up on the app. Total and complete waste of my money.

### 1/5 — Fix please

*2012-04-03, version 1.1*

Ok have it to where you can choose videos that you have taken on your phone from the cam roll

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2012-02-01, version 1.0*

This app doesn't work. It is saying that I don't have any videos in my camera roll but I do.This app gives you no direction at all of how to work it.Waste of my money.

### 2/5 — Terrible UI ... But gets the job done

*2015-11-12, version 2.4*

Sometimes I need a variable speed video player for lectures or similar presentations. Surprisingly, there's not a lot of apps that support this. So when my favorite player app stopped working after updating to iOS 9, I had to hunt for a replacement. This was the best of the lot. If you can get past the muddled user interface, limited import options and poorly written help screens, you'll find a competent player that'll do in a pinch.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2012-03-18, version 1.1*

This video player is at least the best as in features I have seen / used yet. I just got the New iPad 64GB 4G lite version. I want a video player that will play all my Canon 60D DSLR videos. I do love that I can use my finger to scrub through the video one frame at a time easily forwards or backwards which is something I really need in an iPad video editor showing of videos for my video business.
Bugs: when I am scrubbing through the video by moving the slider to advance the video the app crashes.
I can only access videos in the recently added folder. I want to access all videos on my iPad. This is a must have feature for any video player. I can't use this player if this is not updated or recommend this app. And I do recommend good apps to a lot of friends.
Next, I would like more control over different slow-mo options. Right now you can only select full speed or half speed. I would like to be able to tap on a button and every time I tap on the button it will advance the slow-mo speed by a certain interval. Also a button the works in reverse. Taping on the button will slow down slow-mo by a set interval.
If these thing are corrected/ updated then I will give this app 5 stars. Also the video scrubbing need to be tweaked slightly to play a little smother so trying to scrub one frame at a time is a little bit smoother. 
To the developer: try out Avid Studio to see how smooth the video plays even DSLR native video plays. Even try streaming to the new ATV3 by way of screen mirroring DSLR video. This works really smooth and no lag time in Avid this is how all video played and video editors should work.

### 3/5 — DRM free?

*2012-03-28, version 1.1*

All of my sport videos that I downloaded from iTunes are DRM protected therefore this app is useless for me. The app itself works just fine though.

### 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 — 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" .

### 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!

### 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.

### 5/5 — everything

*2016-01-10, version 2.4*

this app has everything you need in a slowmotion video player

### 5/5 — Best In Class Video Player

*2015-02-11, version 2.2*

I have used a number of the video players and none compare to this. 

Professional product all around. Great thoughtful design, problem-free operation, easy to use, excellent documentation and product support. 

I received a prompt response to a question -- that I simply had not researched enough -- providing step by step directions to accomplish my goal. 

I rarely write reviews much less such a favorable one. This player is really fun to use and really allows one to study a video.
