## Review summary

Positive themes include broad format and subtitle support, solid UX with regular updates, strong network/NAS streaming and offline playback, and good value for the paid version. Common drawbacks are lingering bugs, occasional seek glitches, visual artifacts, an aging UI, and monetization concerns due to Pro gating. Overall, users would recommend with caveats and hope for fixes and a modernized interface.

### Pros

- Broad format and subtitle support, including formats and subtitles that other apps struggle with (e.g., Infuse limitations).
- Strong UX with regular updates; easy to use despite an aging UI.
- Excellent network/NAS streaming and offline playback (NAS 4K streaming, downloaded podcasts).
- Good value for the paid version and ongoing development.
- Mini-player support and potential PiP capability.

### Cons

- Long-standing bugs and stability issues that are not fixed promptly (cache clearing is ineffective; overall reliability concerns).
- Occasional seek-related performance issues like pauses and audio glitches when skipping or changing speed.
- Visual glitches on some devices, such as green pixel artifacts on iPad Pro M4 and pop-out video discoloration after updates.
- UI feels outdated and some UI elements can be unresponsive at times (channels).
- Gating features behind the Pro version and unclear roadmap, with mentions of Pro2 and related monetization concerns.
