VLC for Mobile App Reviews

If interrupted, the mp3 that was playing, comes back in the play mode but there is no audio or studdering audio. Have to back 60 seconds to get VLC to pick-up audio properly. Otherwise no complaints! Great app!

Ive been using VLC as a primary media player for some time - its ability to play practically anything is superb. The only issues Ive had on the playback side of things are occasional graphical glitches or stuttering when playing (streaming) high bitrate videos. VLC could also use proper playlist support (the folder playlist works but its limited). Recently (at least since 2.9.0), Ive had an issue where after connecting to a NAS via smb, it shows up blank rather than full of media (similarly to the result if an incorrect password is used). I am able to connect to this NAS fine with other apps and have triple-checked the password and other connection information. In VLC I can still connect to my desktop computer and play media via smb as usual. I can play media from the NAS via upnp as of 3.0.1, but previously this tended to cause VLC to crash and/or freeze.

What the hell is this????. After the latest update i can’t get in the app it keeps saying wrong password when i put in the CORRECT PASSWORD.

Update your SMB version compatibility.

Can not see the server. It used to work then ran the upgrade and now the server is not appearing. Anyone know how to fix this? Is it a known bug?

It is good But I couldn’t login OneDrive via my Office 365 account

If i pause video and leave it and iPad or iphone goes to sleep then go back into VLC the video will not play when press play button, you have to close video and reopen for it to start playing sometimes I have to close vlc altogether. Also if i go out of Vlc to main iPad interface and back, the video screen is black but audio plays If playback speed is set in default settings to anything over 1x speed when you play the video there is no sound...you have to drag the speed to less then 1x then back to 1x then back to 1.5x for audio to play Vlc still has prob with video not immediately showing when playback is set faster then 1x and I drag video playback to somewhere else in the timeline. Sadly i have had to start using other video apps because these issues are not being fixed. I do not have this issue with other video apps that i am using.....i have reinstalled the app and is uptodate.

I really love this app. Really, I do. But is it possible to download software directly from photos? The closest I’ve been able to do is download it into my google drive and then download it into VLC from there, but apparently, I’m not supposed to do that cause it’s my school account. I really want to watch geometry dash levels sped up, and VLC is one of the few ways to do it so pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, either add that or tell me how! Thnx! P.S., if you add that or tell me how I will, definitely give you 5 stars VLC bye!

This last update again broke the Google dive function. After you log in and allow I get an error message that says invalid URL.

Update now allows secure presentations/video to be viewed from iOS files app even if VLC is locked and turning touchID access off no longer works.

When connecting to a local DLNA media server, VLC crashes frequently. Also, when playing back a local video, battery usage on iOS plummets and phone gets hot. Yikes!

Airplay doesn’t appear to work. I would love to make this my go to app but I primarily use would be through Airplay to my Apple Tv. It only plays the audio but not the video :( There should be better spacing on the controls. The iPad has plenty of space to space. It seems like it shares the same control layout as an iPhone. I always hit the volume slider when all I want to do is touch the Airplay button.

This player is handy for opening and playing webm videos but what bugs me is when I play short clips it just video just freezes like its struggling to play the video and sometimes the videos glitch up where the videos just green pixels. These problems don’t seem to appear on longer length videos. 2 stars for now until this gets fixed

Selecting a file to rename or delete isn’t working. It’s too bad because I like VLC.

The latest 3.0 update with files integration is great, except that I cannot view text files anymore as VLC hijacks them for whatever reason. Any time I try to open a .txt file within the files app, I get bounced over to VLC. And nothing happens. I cant view text files anymore, so until this is fixed, this app is not getting a good rating and its being removed from my phone. Its like google drive all over again. So far I see no bug reports on the matter. Disappointing.

Sir Hi ,i would like to ask if possible to how can I save movie in to iPhone’s camera roll which transferred from my pc by vlc app WiFi because I completely transfer its and saved in all files of VLC app So a second question why I never found ability to forward any movie downloading by your application and saved in VLC files to anther application like we chat ,Whatapp &line app why I hope to find your interesting by answering Regards

Cannot stream to chromecast.

TouchID is prompted on startup, and works, even if TouchID is turned off in app.

It just works, and even on iOS 7! Im on iOS 9 now but can really appreciate apps that support older platforms. Plays everything I throw at it with ease. Bugs seem to be quickly squashed. Streaming from a Mezzmo media server is rock solid. Apps that are free and get as many updates as this one does deserves 10 stars.

This app meets all of my needs for video playback on my iPad Mini 4 that the desktop version does except for one very important thing. As far as I can tell, there is no way to make a playlist in the app. I prefer to line the files up I want to watch in a playlist and just let it go. I don’t have that ability with this app which is why I docked a start from my rating. Give me playlists in a future version and I’ll give it the full 5 stars as long as all other functionality remains.
