AirPlayer - video player and network streaming app App Reviews

This app saw my DLNA server but would not show any files. I kept getting error message no file list. I have been testing different players and this is the only on out of 20 apps that gave this error. I tried to get my money back but itunes wouldnt let me return it. even after 5 minutes.

I bought this to use with a local DLNA server (Serviio). I know that my device can play the files from Serviio - if I copy/paste the URL into Safari, QuickTime opens and the file plays just fine. But I wanted a DLNA client that could browse and launch QuickTime. AirPlayer browses the server just fine, but it never actually requests the media file. I reported this to the developers three months ago and they never implanted a fix (as a developer I know this would be easy) so Im giving 1 star. I would give zero if I could.

Not the prettiest thing, but if you want to watch video in any format (even mkv) from your local or remote network it gets the job done.

Does not work. Cant even delete a config.

Love the idea of this app and the ease of use is spot on. Am experiencing one annoying problem however. The app has difficulty holding the destination setting. While watching a movie on the television, the display will suddenly stop and switch back to my phone. This really needs fixing!

If you have any networking abilities you will be able to enjoy anything you want on your TV. I love it. Jeezus. Im taking time to let people know. I doubted this app at first. Had a free $10 iTunes gift card. Took a chance cause I had nothing to loose. Good stuff. Thanks.

I tried a few other apps for streaming my videos but this one is the best!!

Have not tried other features in depth. But functionality for streaming with PS3 Media server works great. Best client interface Ive used for this type of streaming. Highly recommended.

Do NOT trust this developer or any of the apps he sells because he cuts corners and used xCode GHOST to make his apps!!!!!!

Works great! Streams tons of different files from media server. Is exceptionally smooth and easy to use. Would want smaller font capability and more subtitle ability

Combine this app with Serviio to stream virtually any video format to your iPad / iPhone. Unable to fast forward or rewind without app crashing is only drawback. Default settings worked fine for me, so setup was a breeze. Overall, an outstanding program.

Ive had this app for ages to use with my tversity server. Worked perfect. For about two years. With this update, for some reason when I select songs. Each one starts at 11 seconds in. So thats no good. Then if I hit the lock button after selecting a song. It skips like crazy. Can you please tell me why you took a perfectly good working app (that I paid for) and turned it into a pile of crap? Id give less than one star if I could. But dont buy this app. It used to be good. Its not anymore.

Glitches in playback with TWONKY server. Skips and jumbles start of songs. Still never able play an album seamlessly without buffering gaps between songs. I rip FLAC using XLD. No issues with rips in PLEX or LMS. This used to be my go to app. I dont like PLEX, but I may have to switch. Bummer.

It is in fact a great app that does what it says. I use for streaming movies from my NAS to apple tv without turning my pc on. I discovered some other apps that can do the same but this one is very simple in use and pretty stable. However, what i discovered with the last update is that it drains the battery extremely fast in some instances. Moreover, a few times when i played videos on iphone without airplaying on apple tv it heated up my iphone in just couple of minutes so that i could feel the heat even through the case which is pretty thick in fact. I suggest this issue is addressed asap. Dont know about the music skips others reported about simply because I dont use it for music. Videos play fine. What I would also prefer to see this app doing is to have the ability to search for a new video or music on NAS after playing a file without stopping it, the same way YouTube does (minimize video by sliding it down and search for something new while it is still playing). Now when you play a file and want to look for another file you can only do that by stopping the first one. Dont know how difficult it is to introduce this feature but it is also relatively not a cheap app so it would be worth having it, for the money.

Worst $5 Ive ever spent do not recommend it it barley deserves 1 star

This is the only app Ive found that plays PS3 Media Server videos from my iMac, and it works well. The only thing I wish it had is the ability to show thumbnail photos alongside the video titles (like it does from a PS3).

It gets the play list in order, unlike a lot of competing apps. (I always play my music from folders, and expect it to play in the alphabetical order I have there since all my files are named like artist-01-title.mp3). Awesome!
