## What is VideoHaven?

VideoHaven is the simplest way to play your videos on iPad and iPhone - from your device or straight from your home NAS - and it opens almost any video you throw at it.

Built on libVLC (the engine behind VLC), it handles the formats most players choke on: MKV, MP4, AVI, MOV, MPEG, TS, M2TS, VOB, FLV, WMV, WebM and more - including AC3/DTS audio and even 3D video.

No ads. No account. No subscription. Buy once, own forever.

WHAT YOU GET 
• Stream from your NAS - play videos straight from your home SMB server over Wi-Fi, no copying needed 
• Plays almost any format - built on the powerful VLC engine 
• Automatic subtitles - drop a .srt next to your video and it loads itself (adjust size & color) 
• Gesture controls - swipe for volume and brightness, double-tap to skip ±10s, swipe down to close 
• Continue watching - picks up right where you left off 
• Three display modes - fit, zoom, fill, one tap away 
• Audio & subtitle track selection for multi-language films 
• Import from Files - or drop videos straight into the app's folder

YOUR VIDEOS STAY YOURS No cloud, no servers, no tracking. Everything runs on your device. Your videos never leave it.

A sample video is included, so you can try it right away.

Made with love for simplicity.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-09

Your NAS movies remember where you stopped.

• Continue watching now works over the network - start a film on your NAS today, pick it up tomorrow exactly where you left off.
• NAS films in "Continue watching" - they show up on the home screen next to your local ones, so you jump straight back in without browsing folders again.
• See what you've started - the server browser shows how much is left of each film, and ticks off the ones you finished.
• Tidy up your list - press and hold a film in "Continue watching" to remove it. Handy when you opened the wrong file on your NAS; nothing is deleted from the server.
• Subtitle sync - subtitles out of step with the speech? Nudge them in Tracks and the fix applies instantly. Each film remembers its own offset.
• Fresh app icon.
• Open-source licenses - VideoHaven is built on libVLC and other open-source software; you'll find the full list under the ⋯ menu.
• Plus fixes and polish.

• Sleep timer - set 15–60 min and it pauses when you doze off.
