Everything else functions beautifully and the level of customisation is great. Totally worth the Pro upgrade. ### 4/5 — It’s great for everything but… *2024-11-12, version 3.11.4* PIP is decent. The features and options are great. But there’s no Background App Refresh, which means no background playback while the phone is locked. ### 4/5 — Cannot add multiple files to playlist *2024-08-13* I paid for premium and THEN found out you can only add 1 file at a time to a playlist. Very disappointed. ### 4/5 — please add manually choose art cover for movies *2024-08-05* thank you ### 5/5 — Video Player *2024-07-04* Good app for watch and download videos ### 4/5 — Good but *2024-06-03* It would be 5 stars if there were the option to pause/play the video simply by double tapping the center of the screen ### 4/5 — Decent app, but has a crash and is missing vital feature *2024-05-09* If you try to open the share menu for any video the app instantly crashes. Also the app is missing the ability to export saved videos to Photos… in the case of this app going defunct, it is vital that videos be able to be saved to Photos so they are not lost. Decent app, and good replacement for the previous app I was using that disappeared, but needs a lot of work. Update: the new update did not fix the crash. Update 2: Thanks for fixing the crash! **Developer response:** Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. The crashing bug should be fixed in the latest version (3.10.2) Thanks for the support! ### 3/5 — Loop *2024-05-04* Any way to loop videos? This app would be perfect if it had this option. ### 5/5 — Just started using, I like the interface. *2024-04-29, version 3.10.2* Request: like VLC, allow 1 percent increments on video speed instead of the current options. ### 5/5 — Sencilla y buena *2024-04-14* Sencilla aplicación para reproducir toda clase de vídeos. Una interfaz muy buena sin extras que molesten. Además con la versión Pro tienes acceso a algún as funcionalidades extra. Pero si no te interesan todavía puedes reproducir vídeos sin ningún coste. La recomiendo ### 5/5 — Wery good *2024-03-19, version 3.8.3* Very good ### 3/5 — Decent app, but has a crash and is missing vital feature *2024-03-15* If you try to open the share menu for any video the app instantly crashes.

Sleek, responsive and has a great PiP which is so useful. I'll use this over VLC any day ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of time. *2023-07-09* No good, in app purchase does not work. ### 1/5 — Terrible errors *2023-01-11* App is not opening on iPad Pro. Reinstalled, it helped. But after a couple of hours it again stopped opening. Please, fix this problem. ### 1/5 — Uhhh…. Lines through the screen? *2023-01-05* Downloaded this app to play a 10 bit x265 file because I do video editing/cinematography. There were small dashed lines through the video like ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ Yeah. Pretty obnoxious huh? ### 1/5 — Do not open file in video player *2022-12-03* Do not open file in video playe ### 1/5 — Collect data and audio doesn’t sync *2022-11-05, version 2.11* If you skip forward on a video the audio doesn’t sync also it collects a data from your iPad which it doesn’t need ### 2/5 — Bug report: background play *2025-12-24* (I will fix the rating to five stars as soon as this bug is fixed) Whenever Pip is not active if I switch off the phone , the playback gets stopped after a few seconds because the operating system kicks it off. It should continue to play in the background, taking advantage of the OS permission to play. ### 2/5 — Issues importing long list *2024-01-01* 1400 items imported, app crashes, Also not possible to make a playlist or shuffle ### 3/5 — sub delay *2026-07-20* can you change the sub delay to milliseconds like other video players instead of seconds, seconds is too much of a delay, ms is better. and add more than -5.0 and +5.0 delay time. make it go up to like 30 or something. ### 3/5 — SMB steaming not working *2025-01-12* Good experience with PIP, however streaming via SMB local network never works for me. The same videos could be streamed using VLC. ### 3/5 — Allows Picture in Picture *2024-08-05* Great app for watching downloaded movies in most formats. I do have a problem with the app’s cache not clearing. All my videos are in the Files app and I have nothing saved, but the app is still using over 7GB of storage w ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 11 *2026-03-28* 11 ### 5/5 — pip king *2025-11-12, version 4.0.3* Only app that does pip with no issue. Great value ### 5/5 — Video player *2025-09-26* Great app recomend highly ### 5/5 — Very Impressive *2025-07-28* I am usually very picky when it comes to apps, but this one feels very intuitive, and it gets the job done. Unlike other media players, it has no ads. Yes, there is one that encourages you to upgrade, but they are not real pushy about it. They do it once, and then not again. And the pro version is not a bad deal at all. It is either $1 per month, $3 annually, or a one time purchase for $8 for full use. So they are very flexible. Getting to the app itself, the first thing that stands out to me is that it has realtime preview. You can tap and hold the playhead, and as you drag it, there is realtime preview rather than skipping. KM Player has this feature too, but it doesn’t work if the video is paused. This app works whether the video is paused or playing. Also, you have the right tools right on the interface. You’ve got your volume control, playlist and chapters, and additional settings. Very easy to understand and navigate. And I assume that the pro version gives more control over the Playlist menu. Though, I am not sure how the Chapters menu works yet. I wonder if it is for downloadable movies that have a chapter selection? My only criticism is that I am not a fan of the name. Video Player sounds very basic, and there are many other video players too. Plus, there are many others with a very similar logo with the same name, so this one is not easily identifiable. Aside from that, I do really like this app. ### 5/5 — Great app! But playback feature not working on my end.. *2025-06-18* While I have the videos playing in PIP mode, it doesn’t let me rewind to the previous video. I hope this can get fixed in a timely manner. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-01-24* Good experience. Previously smb streaming did not work, but it’s working now! ### 5/5 — Thanks for the PIP *2025-01-22, version 3.11.4* I’ve used vlc player for years on laptop and phone but with no pip it’s pointless for me, I’ve used this app a couple of times up to now (on iPad) and it seems perfect, I can now watch movies from my flash drive in pip and play games in the background, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Great app! But playback feature not working on my end.. *2024-12-29* While I have the videos playing in PIP mode, it doesn’t let me rewind to the previous video. I hope this can get fixed in a timely manner. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great addition to VLC Player *2024-12-21* The biggest plus is the fact that it supports Picture In Picture out of the box, which important to some (me) as I prefer multitasking. I’ve had no issue with local or cloud files in AVI, MP4/M4A, or MKV formats, and it plays x.264 and x.265 natively. My only negative is that it doesn’t register as a native application for “sharing” from the Files tool. You need to add from within the app itself, though linking it to my folder was a snap. iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 18.2. ### 5/5 — il migliore *2024-12-11* offre PIP nella versione FREE .. quasi nessuno lo fa.. fatto anche bene .. stupisce non sia più conosciuto --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
