Works well. Missing a couple of features.

Seems to stream my video files quite smoothly, compared to a few other apps I've tried, in particular FLV files. Also tried streaming RMVB and MKV, which also played smoothly over LAN.
For that reason I was happy to pay for the extended features.

There are 2 important things missing which I hope the developer will include, which will make this app more usable:
- It is frustrating that the app will only display large icons. There needs to be an option to switch to list mode. Icon is slow to load and hard to read when browsing through hundreds of files.
- Allow for file sorting (trying to find what I'm looking for through hundreds of files not sorted in any particular order is enough to drive anyone insane)

I'm reserving the last star until these 2 features included.

Fantastic app!!!!

I've been using this on my iPhone 5s for some time now. It plays .mkv files very well. No need for annoying converters. The only drawback is that it uses a lot of battery :)
