### 1/5 — À supprimer de l’Apple Store

*2024-12-17, version 1.1.3*

Logiciel écrit il y a 8 ans pas de mise à jour récente donc passez votre chemin. Ne fonctionne pas sur l’AppleTV. Sur l’iPhone pas de visualisation en position horizontale et bugs en série…
Il faudrait que les commerciaux d’Apple fassent leur job: on ne devrait pas voir sur l’AppleStore des logiciels payants non fonctionnels !!!!

### 1/5 — A éviter

*2021-03-10, version 1.1.3*

Installer sur Apple TV et impossible de lire les vidéos stockées sur un nas ou un ordinateur Windows. 
J’ai installé un autre player gratuit et ça a fonctionné de suite !

### 5/5 — App explorer

*2019-05-02, version 1.1.3*

Está bonita está app explorer
Me gusta saludos!

### 5/5 — Perfecto

*2017-11-05, version 1.1.3*

Perfecto con chromecast para ver videos de internet.

### 1/5 — No puedo activar subtítulos

*2017-09-19, version 1.1.3*

No hay forma en la que pueda activar los subtítulos. A pesar de que supuestamente se activan automáticamente no encuentro la forma. Me gustaría que el desarrollador me ayudara o me dijera como hacerlo.

### 2/5 — Mal en general

*2017-09-06, version 1.1.3*

La app funciona, eso sí solo con dlna, a poco que tenga que cargar se crashea, el orden alfabético es erróneo, algunos MP4 no los reconoce, salen con un tamaño de 0 mb y te da error, en fin...no recomendaría su compra si no mejoran.

### 1/5 — Está súper chafa

*2017-02-01, version 1.1.3*

Está súper chafa, perdí 49 pesos no la instalen, para ver vídeos tienen que descargarlo además no se puede conectar a Dropbox o servicios en la nube. VLC funciona mucho mejor y es gratis.

### 1/5 — Malo en chromecast

*2016-11-30, version 1.1.3*

Ojalá se pudiera devolver el dinero por qué ya es la segunda vez que compro vídeo explorer, primero la primera versión que de nada servía chromecast y ahora está enfunda creyendo que iba a mejorar, ponerle un poco de más ganas y solucionar los problemas con chromecast, no se puede enviar nada incluso el icono ha desaparecido después de utilizarla una vez. Me siento estafado!!!!

### 1/5 — I want refund

*2016-11-27, version 1.1.3*

I want refund

### 5/5 — Chromecast

*2016-11-25, version 1.1.3*

Tengo que decir que por fin vuelve a funcionar con chromecast. Solo con videos mp4, pero creo que siempre ha sido así
