Pros and cons of AirPlayer - video player and network streaming app app for iPhone and iPad

AirPlayer - video player and network streaming app app good for

This is a great app, simple and clean interface, my only complaint is that external subs doesnt work, at least not with ps3 media server. Apart from this, all the rest is great!
But one Thing is disturbing: while Playing a Song and going back in the List with the Other Songs, the currently Playing Song Stops. If You could Change this, Airplayer would be an Award winning app!!!
In Kombination mit Dreambox 8000 und FritzNAS als Mediaserver
Work like a charm! No bug, easy config... The best out there!
Im happy to give this app a five star rating. It streams and plays all kinds of movies from my Synology NAS to my iPad. Easy to set up, works flawlessly. Others I have tried I found difficult to set up, some only stream the mp4 format (the iPad is natively capable of playing that format) and require you to download movies in other formats to the iPad before playing. I would like to see folder passwords in a future update but it still gets five stars for being the best out there IMHO.
Paired this with Llink server on my MacBook Pro and I have a very manageable mediA server. Two thumbs up.

Some bad moments

I just bought this app to play DLNA content from my various DLNA servers including my new Panasonic TV. Unfortunately this app obviously plays HD H.264 content only in slow motion. So this app is useless for me. For 4,49€ this was wasted money. If you want to play HD content from DLNA SERVERS DONt buy this app!
It did recognized my DLNA after two or three attempts, but I have no video (only audio) on my AppleTV with the AirPlay function. Since it was for that function I bought this app., it is disappointing. Some of your competitors do it.
It takes 3 mins to load and start playing an mp3, forever for a movie. A complete waste of money. Extremely disappointed!!!
You should really put no video airplay in the app description.
Kind of useless when audio and video are out of sync. Please fix.
Plays music well off my server, but dont expect to see anything more than artist-track title or album-track title when exploring your collection or playing. Not worth the money.
