## Review summary

It's Playing is a feature-rich, long-used video player praised for broad format support and cloud integration, plus solid playback controls. However, many reviews cite stability problems and a lack of updates, with missing Chromecast/TV casting and UI quirks like a persistent white bar during playback. Overall, strong features are offset by ongoing reliability and support concerns.

### Pros

- Broad format support and cloud integration (Dropbox/Google Drive) for playback
- Rich playback controls and customization (subtitles, brightness/contrast, speed, volume boost)
- Easy to use and intuitive interface with generally positive user experience

### Cons

- Frequent crashes/freezes during playback, especially after iOS updates
- App appears abandoned with little to no updates or developer response
- No Chromecast/TV streaming support or casting enhancements
- UI playback issues like a persistent white bar during playback (fullscreen/cropping problems)
