Great for playing video, fails at other things
This app is EXCELLENT for playing videos, especially if you want to zoom into some corner of the video, or analyze what's happening there on a frame by frame basis. There are very few apps that do this well, which is why I'm giving this 3 stars.
But it falls at extracting frames. There's a camera icon, which I assume is to take a snapshot of a frame. But where does that frame go? Not to the photos app. I even paid extra for extracting frames to work, but still the same results - no extracted frames that I could find anywhere!
And the support button in the app store leads to a random artsy website, with no mechanism I can find to even report a problem.
Also, GIFs are poorly supported. The information in the GIFs about how long each frame is supposed to be displayed is ignored, I think in favor of playing every GIF at 20 something frames per second, as if it was a video.
This app could be a great one if these problems were fixed.

Good
It let's you play videos frame by frame 🤷🏻♂️
The best frame by frame Video app Ive used; simple
Ive tried just about every single app similar to to this and this is the most basic easiest to use , im not sure how to use the gif making part, but as for slowing and coping each frame you need its the best , some reviews about it being a scam are ridiculous , but more time could be spent improving this app by giving a few tutorials and suggestions of projects it could be used for would open up a river of much deserved 5 star reviews , thanks for the hatd work so far

NOT FREE TO TRY AFTER 2 MINUTES
all i tried to do was test frame advance then after two minutes it LOCKED and forced me to pay or use nothing. So i choose nothing. all you ever have to do to extract a photo from a video is pause the video where you want a picture and do a 'screenshot'. boom, there's your photo and you can crop & scale in photos. Why would anyone PAY for something that is built-in to every phone and free to use? like, don't be stupid.

Not working with iPhone 16
Can’t open any videos in the “All Videos” (I see them, select them, but can’t play). The videos from “Files App” are working fine. iPhone 16, iOS 18.2.1, FramePlayer version 4.10.1 (all softwares are up to date).
