Your cloud files. Your personal film library. KinoFlow organizes the movies and series in your cloud storage into a library with posters, details, and season structure. Cloud mode requires no server setup or NAS. Connect the folders you authorize, then bring your library to a compatible player. ORGANIZE ONCE, CONNECT YOUR PLAYERS Identify titles and manage their metadata and categories in one place. KinoFlow's Emby-compatible service connects with Infuse, VidHub, Forward, SenPlayer, FileBall, and other compatible players. Keep the same organized library when you change players, with less repeated scraping and maintenance. PLAN YOUR VIEWING, KEEP THE MEMORIES Use a viewing calendar to plan and revisit your movies and series. Make a personal tier list of what you loved. Keep continue-watching progress, watched status, and viewing history together. Progress synchronization requires a player that supports the relevant status reporting; capabilities vary by client. CURATE YOUR COLLECTION Build categories around language, country or region, directors, cast, genres, years, and more. Arrange your library around the way you browse. Category presentation in third-party players depends on their compatibility. UNDERSTAND YOUR LIBRARY Explore your collection profile, its composition, and how it grows over time. See what you collect and discover the patterns in your choices. TOOLS FOR EVERYDAY LIBRARY CARE Correct title matches, identify gaps in seasons and series, and manage multiple versions of a title. The redesigned correction workflow connects title search, file and episode review, and results, with individual review and batch selection. These tools organize KinoFlow's index and presentation without renaming, moving, or deleting the original files in your cloud storage. REFINED FOR iPHONE AND iPAD Navigation and design across Home, Library, Viewing, and Settings are tailored for iPhone and iPad, including search, title details, and management tools. Enjoy comfortable use on iPhone and more spacious layouts on iPad, with light and dark appearances. Supported cloud services: 115, 123, and Guangya. You need your own cloud account and files you have the right to access. Third-party cloud services and players may have separate terms and fees. KinoFlow provides no movies or TV shows, includes no video player, and does not host or distribute video. It indexes only authorized folders and never writes STRM or NFO files to your cloud drive. PURCHASES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS Pro Monthly and Pro Annual include software and Cloud for their respective terms. Pro Permanent is a one-time software license including the first year of Cloud; later Cloud terms are purchased separately and do not auto-renew. Permanent ownership does not include lifetime Cloud. The current full cloud edition needs active Cloud. A fully local edition, planned before November 2027, is not available yet; once delivered, permanent owners can self-host it without Cloud renewals. Mainland China prices: CNY 68/year Annual, CNY 288 Permanent, CNY 28/year Cloud. Monthly subscription prices and prices in other regions are shown on Apple's purchase screen. During active Pro / Cloud service, media-unit allowances do not limit library visibility. Existing paid rights and rewards are retained under account-specific transition terms. Migration does not cancel Apple renewals. Monthly and annual subscriptions charge your Apple account and auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the term ends; renewal charges occur within the final 24 hours. Use Manage Apple Subscriptions to manage renewals and Restore Purchases for existing entitlements. Features, dates and local prices appear before purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: KinoFlow at none against 途播's shown. KinoFlow also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). 途播's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and device support (5 vs 3). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
