Step into immersive video. MVPlayer is the focused, native player for stereoscopic 3D, 180° and 360° video ā and the immersive video format ā on every Apple device you own. Free, no ads, no tracking. ONE PLAYER. EVERY IMMERSIVE FORMAT. ⢠Stereoscopic 3D: MV-HEVC with proper projection and depth, natively on compatible immersive headsets. ⢠180° and 360° video: equirectangular and half-sphere, in flat 2D (HEVC) or stereoscopic 3D (MV-HEVC). ⢠The immersive video format: native playback, no conversion required. Just open and play. ⢠Files, library or URL: open from Files, your Photos library, or any HTTP/HLS streaming URL. On the Mac, drop a video on the window. A PLAYER THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY A modern translucent design: close and volume at the top, play controls in the middle, the timeline below. AirPlay and Picture in Picture are one tap away. On iPhone, iPad and Mac, drag to look around a 180° or 360° video. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO ⢠Fold it like a laptop: the picture stays upright and the controls move to the half lying flat, over a reflection of your video. The more you close it, the further the reflection reaches. ⢠Hold it like a book: the video spans both pages, with a controller on each. ⢠Close it: keep watching on the cover display. FULL ACCESS, ONE OPTIONAL PURCHASE ⢠Kiosk-grade demo lock: lock the screen with a password so your event and trade-show demos can't be exited or tampered with. ⢠Head tracking, for fun: on iPhone, iPad and Mac, a playful experience while attendees wait for the headset. Try both free for 20 seconds. Pay once, own forever: no subscription, all future updates included. LAUNCH FROM ANY LINK Open a video from any link with the mvplayer:// x-callback-url scheme.

Doom Player
Read full descriptionHide full description
Doom Player plays the video and audio already on your device, with subtitles that read correctly ā including Arabic. PLAYS WHAT YOU HAVE Open MP4, MOV and M4V video, and MP3, M4A, WAV and FLAC audio, from your photo library, your Files folders, or anywhere you keep them. Add a folder once and its videos and songs stay in your library. When a file uses a format iPhone cannot decode, Doom Player tells you which part ā the picture or the sound ā instead of failing silently. SUBTITLES THAT ACTUALLY LOAD SRT, VTT, ASS and SSA files, plus subtitles built into the video. Arabic subtitles in older encodings are read correctly instead of arriving as nonsense, and you can force an encoding yourself when a file needs it. Nudge a subtitle file earlier or later until it lines up. A PRIVATE VAULT Move videos from Files behind a PIN or Face ID. They stay on this device under iOS file protection, are left out of backups, and never appear in your ordinary library, history or lock screen. MEDIA TOOLKIT Trim a clip, shrink a large file, or pull the audio out of a video. Everything happens on your device. SEND AND CAST Share files with a nearby phone over your own network, with nothing passing through a server. Play to an Apple TV or an AirPlay-enabled television. BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU WATCH Picture in Picture, background audio, playback speed, a five-band equalizer, audio delay for out-of-sync files, and a library you can sort and search. FREE, WITH ADS Doom Player is free and supported by advertising: full-screen ads may appear, for example before a video plays or when you open a screen. iOS asks whether ads may be personalised, and the app works the same whichever you choose. Nothing you play, and nothing in the vault, is ever shared with advertisers. NO ACCOUNT There is no sign-in. Your history, favourites and playlists stay on your device ā there is no account to sync them to. Available in English, Arabic and French, with full right-to-left layout.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Doom Player at none against MVPlayer.app's 1. Doom Player also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). MVPlayer.app's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
