## Review summary

PiP-it! is a solid PiP option with local-file playback and responsive support, and it benefits from updates for newer iOS versions. However, users repeatedly report crashes (especially with long videos/playlists), YouTube-related PiP blocking, licensing/restore purchase issues, notable feature gaps (no repeat option), and occasional video-loading problems, which significantly impact reliability.

### Pros

- Solid picture-in-picture functionality; one of the better PiP apps available.
- Works with videos saved in the iOS Files app.
- Responsive customer support that provides quick fixes when issues arise.
- Periodic updates to support newer iOS versions (e.g., updates for iOS 26).

### Cons

- Crashes and instability, especially with long videos or large playlists.
- YouTube updates or blocks that disable PiP, causing the app to stop working.
- Paid version issues and trouble restoring purchases; some users cannot use the app after paying.
- Missing key features and slow updates (e.g., no repeat option; user feature requests).
- Videos sometimes fail to load or play within the app.
