AVPlayer for Negative User Reviews

✓ Awesome app but...Latest update with FTP passive mode has stopped FTP from working! Tried on/off with this new setting but no good. Gutted....KiwifullaGeezerVersion: 2.30

✓ Not able to rename file, can only rename folder in the latest versionNot able to rename file, can only rename folder in the latest version.JohnnieRJVersion: 2.91

✓ Not optimized for iPhone XGreat app but not so great on my iPhone X.VfihVersion: 2.9

✓ Needs improvementForget trying to play high quality files through this player; the audio becomes out of sync very quickly on the iPhone 4. It also needs support for audio and subtitle switching..PPDeluXeVersion: 1.47

✓ Folder lock doesn’t work - ignored by devEmailed developer only to be ignored. Being able to lock a folder is one of the reason why I purchased this app. It is so easy to break the lock! Enable folder lock on a folder then try moving that locked folder onto itself.... voila the folder is now unlocked! Bug that development ignores and doesn’t fix..IDevice_UserVersion: 2.91

✓ Dlna lots of issues90% of time open upnp can see anything in my server, have to close open close open 7 to 8 times before I can see items in my DLNA server. Playback video and audio always insync in the first few seconds, have to drag to later minutes like 1 minute then it become normal. Not very useable.ZkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkVersion: 2.5

✓ No AirPlayI've always been using this app since the early days...I think at one point AirPlay was available. Other than that there nothing wrong with this app. Not sure why the developers decided to not support AirPlay..Bensun6Version: 2.6

✓ Great app but lacks supportI really love this app. I even got the HD version for the iPad. But for some reason they decided to drop support for iPhone 5. So even though I have it for years, I can no longer update..Leco BarrosVersion: 2.6

✓ So dispointed!!!Before I used the iPad version and I have to say it is the best vedio player for iPad!!! I just bought a new iPod touch 4th generation and of course, AVPlayer is my first choice. However, after I uploaded my 1.5G 720P mkv movie, I found out that everytime it plays for about 1min then app shut down automatically. I have tried so many times but problem still. Hope the patch coming ASAP..PZDSGVersion: 1.46

✓ TV out issueI got this app so I could watch program's via the TV out function, it works fine until you come out the app then TV out freezes next time you try to use it, you have to reboot the phone to get it working again. As a standalone app to watch stuff on the go it is faultless for me but as my main use is TV out only giving 2stars until fixed (TV out works fine with iPhone video app so not a hardware issue). UPDATE latest update has totally broken the TV Out only ever get sound and frozen image reinstalled phone to be sure and still not working. TV out works on built I video app fine so not HW issue.TheFatmerVersion: 1.46

✓ Dead appWas good, once, but now has an echo in the audio on playback. Has not been updated in a long time, and doesn’t look like it will be. You can use the vlc app for playback of local files. You can also copy any local files from this app to vlc before deleting this one using the Files app that comes with iOS. Just a thought..ElrodArcherVersion: 2.95

✓ Problems with background playback.Now it has a problem with playback in multitask mode. When application is not active playback is stuttering..Nomad171972Version: 2.84

✓ App has been abandoned by the developerApp has been abandoned by the developer, bugs are there forever not being fixed let alone for the new features..... money back????????.What! NO!Version: 2.91

✓ Resume doesn't work.When I re-start the app I have to keep locating my last file through my playlist to continue playing. I have over 100 files and trying to navigate to resume my last video is a lot of work..GhanzkyVersion: 2.95

✓ Once again failedYep, like what I said as above. I had waited a new version of AV Player for over a month. But I was wrong. Those failed funtions still there since these last updated. Especially couldn't play audio of video clip/audio on the background of the iPhone. And that's is the important funtion to make our familly purchased this app. NOW TOTALLY FAILED We used to download some video clips on the internet and then put it in AV Player via iTunes. After that, we heard the sound/audio of a video clip under iPhone/iPad background without watching it while we was working. Because we didnt have a time to watch it and we just wanted to listen the content of those clips only. Hope that funtion will be back soon..PhuongDoanVersion: 2.11

✓ Not for iPadControls are intrusive, take too much of the screen space, probably scaled from the iPhone, non-native iPad. Failed to play audio in the very first file I’ve tried. Jump back is allowed for 10 secs only, not configured. VERY slow positioning..MikePlacidVersion: 2.91

✓ Great app but. . . .I used to use and I worked amazing. I just re-downloaded it to my 64gb iPhone 6 and now the sound cuts out after about 4 minutes. I have to exit to the media explorer and relaunch the video to get sound back. Then after about 4 minutes it cuts out again. Please fix this. It is very annoying while watching a movie or tv show. I really enjoyed this app but find myself considering alternatives..HokbVersion: 2.40

✓ Not formatted for the new iPhone XS MaxThe vendor needs to fix a bug or feature on this current release. Videos now are not fitted for the new screen size on the iPhone XS Max. The pictures does not fit the entire screen and you can see a section of the app background..DaedrmrVersion: 2.91

✓ GoodGood player but have a one problem note playing in background solve this.Naqeeb khaksarVersion: 2.95

✓ OkGreat player but ftp is broken.AaaxnfdkkddkVersion: 2.6

✓ This app CANNOT play MKV fileThis app CANNOT play MKV file. The audio of mkv files never work with this app. This means we can't enjoy high quality video unless we convert it on our own. I feel like I just wasted my $3..OopparalaVersion: 2.82

✓ Does not scale on iPadI would like a refund but I know they won’t. This crappy app won’t scale to my iPad screen..UnhappyjakVersion: 2.95

✓ Not working anymoreUsed to work perfectly... Not anymore no sound ... Dont waste your money.Frankdtank88Version: 2.81

✓ Waste of money for iPod Touch -verrrry sllllloooow MKV playbackI bought this hope of getting a player that would play back MKV files on the iPod Touch 4G as I was away from a Wifi connection (otherwise I would have used VLCStreamer), The interface and options are well presented for the user. It is shame that when it came to playing various MKV files that I had on iPod, it basically played the audio without issue but the video was at times 30sec behind. Thus making it impossible to watch. Therefore I am not sure whether it should be 1 star or 2 star - as good effort but useless to me, and therefore a waste of money..Saigon1Version: 1.47

✓ Did not fully utilize iphonex’s extra screenAt least give a option to expand to the whole big screen on the iPhone X..Hansir1Version: 2.91

✓ Lags when playing rmvb.Great app! The only problem I have is it lags when I play rmvb..GonnaFindHerVersion: 1.31

✓ Good app but needs update for ios8This is a great app that if asked a month ago I would have given 5-stars too. Now I lose sound after about 3 minutes and have to completely exit the app and start my show again to get the sound working. Very frustrating!!!!.Miss.ttVersion: 2.40

✓ Please readIt was the best app for playing videos with subtitles but after last update it doesn’t work anymore I can’t play any video after updating the app Please fix it I really need this for my iPhone.MosijonVersion: 2.92

✓ 10/17 Please update. Will not connect WiFi transfer filesThis app used to be amazing, but sometimes the inconsistency of the WiFi transfer gets really frustrating on long trips. I use Dropbox and GoogleDrive but neither work. Please update!.Oregon's #1 fanatical genius born of 2, brother to 5, uncle to 5Version: 2.84

✓ Great app, double chargeI bought avplayer hd for my iPad and looking at getting this for my iPhone... Unfortunately I have to pay for it a second time... Would love for a more integrated app or ability for eplayworks to charge once for their loyal fan base on both their iPhone / iPad apps..TmassmatVersion: 2.40

✓ Please add re-play buttonIf this app added replay button will more helpful also this app mot support photo view function…..PonyKingVersion: 2.95

✓ The first app I paid in App StoreAnd it still cannot play some MKV, after the recent update. Developers don’t seem to give a fcuk. big_buck_bunny_720p_1mb.mkv 3 seconds test video, downloaded from online.BradenVVersion: 2.9

✓ Dropbox button is not available.I could’t connect Dropbox. The button is not available. When i push it, it is not working. But google drive is ok..도루묵sVersion: 2.9

✓ Not worth itOut of all 24 clips I've tried not one played smoothly, no idea how it's got good ratings, wish I could get Vlc player back as this app is pure garbage.ShoxedoneVersion: 1.31

✓ Further correction on airplaySometimes it works and sometimes the airplay wouldn’t after performing normally at the beginning. Please really update the app to be compatible with iOS 15.3.SupermansagaVersion: 2.95

✓ AvoidGone down the drain in past few years. When I downloaded it several years ago this was a robust, stable & reliable app. The developers have abandoned it 3-5 years ago. It was great but since then without any meaningful update this has become total trash. Even though development of this app stopped long time ago, the developers still keep it paid in order to trap new users. They perform yearly update just to keep this app compatible with new iOS. I would suggest going with some other app like VLC which free and rarely has any issues. Many previous reviews were deleted, including mine..NikeillusionVersion: 2.95

✓ Good when it worksI've used avplayer for sometime now, found that it supported more file formats than other av players, although I begrudge paying for the iPad version, especially as I find often after updates the app is buggy, for example if you connect the apple hdmi cable to connect to a tv the touch screen starts playing up, also I have to normally restart the app, or the file I'm trying to play, when it works it's good, but I'm tempted to try something else for the iPad, seen as I have to buy it anyway, others may not be as buggy. Gav.G.avVersion: 1.43

✓ OneDriveOneDrive please......ZjywVersion: 2.91

✓ This is horrible, AlexWas recommended this as a “simple” method to play videos on my phone while on aircraft with no network. All I “simply” need to do was send video files to my phone via FTP or dlna. Couldn’t be simpler, apparently. I think I’ll stick with plex..RnodernVersion: 2.95

✓ Multiple files import via http serverI have been using this since 2014 and yet there is still no multiple files import support for http server.._andreas.cVersion: 2.95

✓ DisappointedA one point in time I would have given the this app 5 stars because AV player can do almost every format that you can put a video in. but now I can't even watch a 20 minute video without my iPod restarting at least 4 times. So I moved onto a better app. Ps I know that when my iPod restarts its because of AV player because I only ever have trouble with my iPod when I'm using AV player.The tom the bomb manVersion: 2.6

✓ Fingerprint lock support still not addedIts 2017 and this app is still stuck on passcode lock, kindly give us option to lock with fingerprint. Also i cant understand why the orientation is so buggy when i turn the phone the screen doesnt follow. Little fixes here and there are needed..IamharshVersion: 2.9

✓ H264 uselessHad to pay to test it, and afterwards found out that it stutters like mad on H264 films! Severely disappointed! In total I installed 5 players, and all the others ran smoothly (and were free to try!)..MScurrVersion: 2.84

✓ Wasted my moneyAllows you to buy this on an iPad when it is only suitable for iPhone. On the iPad, this is the worst video player I have ever used. All the videos are displayed in a small iPhone shaped box in the centre of the screen. It should be illegal to sell this product to iPad owners..Njv2005Version: 2.95

✓ Screen resolutionCan you please update the app cause it’s not full screen on new devices.AFG.BOMBERVersion: 2.91

AVPlayer works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact AVPlayer.
