If I wanted to be taken advantage of by greedy practices I’d subscribe to Disney plus.

It’s a great piece of software designed by greedy little goblins. You’d have to be insane to pay $5.99/mo because these goblins hold a 6th of your screen hostage You can do the same thing for free and without an artificial ad in the VLC app if you know what you are doing.

Doesn’t work.

Pc program says it works with windows xp yet when installing on windows 7 it says I need to install net framework. I’m not ruining my machine with that.

Great app but not working since update
     
by Slipfan · July 4, 2017

One of my favorite apps on my iPad. Allows me to access my entire library. Since I assume the last update however, my iPad can't find my computer. Not sure what is up.

Incredibly buggy and annoying
     
by Hugh Gee Rection · January 8, 2017

Crashes constantly. Also has a horrendous ad banner that makes watching any video annoying. There are many apps that can share your videos on your own network and do it better than this app does. Some are even free.

Stream breaks
     
by ex yahoo · March 24, 2022

If streaming from internet addresses every time phone rings or you leave/connect to a WiFi it stops streaming and have to completely kill and restart app even if you don’t answer call.

Not great
     
by Starbix · February 27, 2018

Banner ad blocks subtitles. I have no problem with ads but you can’t even watch something with subtitles. Also can’t fast forward more than a couple of minutes at a time.

Thank you for this app!

While the automatic connection doesn’t always work, this is such a useful app for me! I’m certainly glad you made it and I hope it continues to survive. Particularly, it’s great to be able to watch my DVD’s on my iPad. I also appreciate that there was careful effort put into writing the various instructions on the site.

Garbage app
     
by iBoy2G · July 7, 2016

This app is absolute trash, no where near as good as the official VLC app. It requires processing of all. Ideas before it will let you watch them which takes a long time and worst of all, many are converted into very low quality files, even when quality settings are on high. VLC official app does not require conversion, it just streams files. Unfortunately there is a bug in the streaming feature so I was forced to download this trash until they fix it, but omg this app is HORRIBLE.<br/><br/>iPhone 6s Plus
