DropPlay vs Mtxv

DropPlay is the fastest way to watch a video someone just shared with you. AirDrop a file to DropPlay — or open one from another app — and it plays right away. No sign-up, no uploads, no waiting. PLAY ANYTHING YOU RECEIVE Open videos shared via AirDrop or handed off from other apps. DropPlay opens files in place, so it won't clutter your storage with copies. PICTURE-IN-PICTURE Keep watching in a floating window while you text, browse, or check email. Playback continues even when you leave the app. CAST TO YOUR TV WITH AIRPLAY Send any video to an AirPlay-compatible TV or device with a single tap. Your iPhone or iPad becomes the remote. STREAM OVER YOUR LOCAL NETWORK Share to another device on the same Wi-Fi by scanning a QR code — no cables, no cloud, no third-party servers. The video streams directly from your device. PLAYS MORE FORMATS THAN YOU'D EXPECT Some video containers can't be decoded on iPhone or iPad, but they can still play on a TV or device that supports them. DropPlay knows the difference: when a file can't play locally, casting and local streaming stay available so you're never stuck. BACKGROUND AUDIO Audio keeps playing when your screen locks or you switch apps, so podcasts, lectures, and music videos don't stop when you do. PRIVATE BY DESIGN DropPlay doesn't collect your data, require an account, or upload your videos anywhere. Everything happens on your device and your local network. Just drop a video in and press play.
