Outplayer 4+

Many players floating around the app store hinge upon their names or brands as a way to garner support for the app. In this way, the more well-known apps usually dominate the top 10s of each genre.

This app is a hidden gem and needs more recognition for the two following reasons:

- simplistic, intuitive design
- MPV as backend

Lets start with the aesthetics. The design is simple and intuitive enough for navigation. Its what you’d honestly expect from a player.

The real story here is MPV. MPV is an open-source media player that supports a wide array of codecs. When I say wide I really do mean it supports a lot; this is due to the fact it is open-source.

The main takeaway for iOS users is that it leverages what your device has to offer by maximizing the use of the GPU to accelerate and decode your video. What this means is that you’d achieve an accurate representation of what your video should look like as it was encoded.

Totally recommend this player as everyone’s standard video player and should be included in everyone’s “my go to apps” kinda stuff. It really is neat and nifty.

The app works great and the design matches extremely well with all the other Apple apps. Was pretty disappointed with VLC as a media player but this app has really done an amazing job.

Back then, I was able to manually import the video files that I have in this app using the Files app. But now, the folder consisting of the things I imported is nowhere to be seen in the Files app now.

And the bad thing is, I’ll have to import the videos through your app now which does duplicates the video that I downloaded which means that double space will be consumed.

I do hope that the Outplayer folder shows again in the iPhone files so I could just manually move the videos without using outplayer which saves more space thank u.
