### 4/5 — 媒体预览有bug

*2026-06-18, version 1.12.130*

我经常用外部ssd 导入浏览视频，旧版ui 媒体预览有bug，刷新也不显示。切换新版ui就能显示，但是新版导入文件夹逻辑和旧版不一样，新版导入更像是传输文件到本地，需要等很久，播放外部视频也只能一个一个播放。希望改进。

### 2/5 — srt字幕不会加载

*2026-05-22, version 1.12.128*

Me gusta la facilidad con la que puede importar archivos, y los controles, no tiene una interfaz extravagante y eso me gusta.

### 2/5 — アップデート後からHDR動画の色味がおかしい

*2025-12-08*

アップデートしてからすべてのHDR動画の色が薄くなって再生されます。設定を変更しても変わりません。直してほしいです。

**Developer response:** 你直接使用无就可以了，这个是最好的. 前提是你的设备是支持HDR的. 比如ip15 pro max, ipad pro 2022 12.9/ipad pro 2024 13.0等等.

### 1/5 — iOS26.5無法Wi-Fi 傳檔

*2026-06-19, version 1.12.130*

iOS 26.1無法Wi-Fi 傳檔到手機裡，之前一直都可以的，怎麼這樣？

更新：直到今天26/6/19（手機已經升級到16 PM）依然沒辦法使用（wi-Fi上傳檔案）電腦瀏覽器上傳影片到手機，到底要怎樣才可以呢？

### 1/5 — iOS26.5アップデート後から

*2026-05-29*

Wi-Fi経由にてデータを転送しようとしてもfailed uploadingが出るようになりました。Wi-Fiの設定も見直して、ブラウザ側、スマホ側の両方で再起動を行った上で改めて転送しようとしても同じ表記が出て転送が出来ない状態。

### 1/5 — 建議不要買，我花錢買了非常失望，浪費錢了

*2026-03-27, version 1.12.124*

網路連接家裡的電視DLNA伺服器會漏掉很多影片檔沒抓到,感覺好像有刻意限制檔案數量ㄧ樣,只能抓到20個，怎麼用都ㄧ樣，但是安裝其他的播放程式就不會像這樣子抓不到檔案，真的害我浪費錢，氣死

### 1/5 — TV版不能使用smb

*2026-03-24, version 1.12.124*

作者好，TV版不更新就不更新吧，不能因为出售zfusepro 把原来版本的smb功能关闭不让用户使用。你看看你介绍页的承诺...
作者行为恶劣，不建议用户购买。

### 1/5 — why keep asking to leave review

*2025-09-28, version 1.12.116*

here you go then

### 1/5 — No cast support

*2025-09-26*

Bought it thinking that Chromecast had to be unlocked but does not seem to be enabled icon on iPad.  Please fix.

### 1/5 — Good player but dull interface in dark mode

*2025-08-27*

This is one of the best media player for iOS . Unfortunately the dark user interface is very ugly and the tiles of videos are dull in dark mode. It has cluttered user interface. Its user interface will uncluttered like Outplayer.

### 1/5 — Old ui 👎👎

*2025-08-10*

This app is very old, made in
2010. The Ul is very ugly, but the UX is very good.
Please create a new app similar to the features of this app, but with a new interface for 2025, advanced, with a beautiful and simple design.
Contact me via email, and I will suggest the top 5 video and music player apps that can help you develop your app and gather useful ideas.

### 1/5 — 檔案現在都是亂碼

*2025-04-19, version 1.12.102*

很難用，檔案佔很多空間

### 1/5 — レビュー誘導がしつこすぎる

*2025-03-20*

レビューをしろというポップアップが頻繁に出てくる
消しても消しても出てきて本当にしつこい
有料アプリなのに何度も何度もポップアップして、これじゃ広告見てるのと変わらない

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love how well it works and the default play speed

*2026-07-11*

Plus being able to slow down while holding is great.

### 5/5 — Great Video Player

*2026-07-09*

Plays videos effortlessly, easy to navigate controls, so far very satisfied!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-22*

No complaints, it’s user friendly. Simple navigation. I have no issue with anything. Great work!

### 5/5 — Favorite Mobile Video Player

*2026-05-21*

Love this app. Plays whatever I throw at it. Great that it handles WebDav and SMB effortlessly. 

Best and favorite feature is the floating player window while doing other stuff on my device (VLC and Stremio Player can’t do that).

Only other thing I could imagine the devs could add would be to add a feature for IPTV (Xtream, m3u, etc).

### 5/5 — 建議給修改網址功能

*2026-04-26*

現在如果網址轉了，就只能刪除，如果能直接修改m3u 網址就更好了

### 5/5 — very good

*2026-04-15*

very good

### 5/5 — 無料からの乗り換え

*2026-03-08*

前使っていたメディアプレイヤーのサービスが終了してしまったので新しい物を探してました。
無料版で使ってみて良かったので今は愛用してます。

### 5/5 — 不错的播放器

*2026-02-20, version 1.12.122*

使用起来不错 可以播放单层杜比视界

### 5/5 — Buena aplicación

*2026-02-02, version 1.12.118*

Muy buena aplicación: recomendable.

### 5/5 — Very good video player

*2026-01-26*

No complaints. There are two feature suggestions that I would make: one being that when a video is on a loop, that when it starts playing again, the player would remember the zoom and aspect ratio settings. The other suggestion would be to implement a segment repeat feature. I really like this app! Great job!
