Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ibo Player Pro at 4.2 against POP's 3.1. POP's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ibo Player Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of POP's written reviews are positive against 22% of Ibo Player Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

POP ships an update every 2 months, Ibo Player Pro every 8 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
