Local Video Sync vs SyncPlay

Watch videos together on multiple devices over local Wi‑Fi. No cloud, no streaming. One device controls playback; others follow in sync. -- Sync play, pause, and seek across all devices -- Create or join rooms on the same Wi‑Fi network -- Import videos from Photos or Files -- Organize videos in playlists -- Automatic reconnection when the host returns -- Works offline on your local network PeerToPeerConnectionTest uses Apple’s MultipeerConnectivity framework so devices discover each other and stay in sync without the internet. Add the same videos on each device, create a room, and watch together.

SyncPlay is a professional video synchronization app designed to play videos perfectly in sync across multiple iPads. Built specifically for stage productions, theater, live events, and exhibitions where precise timing is critical. Unlike standard streaming apps, SyncPlay does not stream video data. Instead, it relies on locally stored video files on each device, transmitting only precise timing signals (Play, Pause, Seek) over the local network. This ensures frame-accurate synchronization with absolutely zero streaming buffering. ■ Key Features Completely Offline: No internet connection required. Works seamlessly with any local Wi-Fi router. Auto-Correction (Heartbeat): If network interference causes a slight delay, the heartbeat mechanism automatically snaps the guest video back to the precise host timeline within seconds. Host & Guest System: Control everything from one "Host" iPad, while all "Guest" iPads follow instantly. Blackout (B.O.): One-tap blackout button for theatrical transitions. Audio Safety: Guest devices are forcibly muted to prevent audio echoing in professional sound environments. ■ Pricing Tiers [Free Version] Access to Room A only. Connect up to 2 Guests per Host (3 devices total). [SyncPlay Pro (One-time Purchase)] Unlock all Rooms (A, B, and C) to prevent interference across multiple adjacent stages. Connect up to 8 Guests per Host (9 devices total). *Note: Only the "Host" device needs to purchase the Pro version.
