Pros and cons of playable PRO - Play almost anything video player app for iPhone and iPad

playable PRO - Play almost anything video player app good for

Love the ability to download videos and watch them later. The only problem is that it is always in landscape mode and I wish I could change that. But that is small potatoes. All in all great app!
Subtitles in UTF-8 other languages arent rendering properly. Default to UTF-8 or allow user to change the encoding to SJIS, EUC-JP etc.
This app is pretty awesome. Im a big fan of the ad-hoc http/ftp server thing. The only thing I didnt like was that when I bought the Pro version, it didnt port any of my videos over, so now I have to re-transfer them.
I enjoy this app I can watch my non mp4 movies without having to convert them and it is great on my iPhone 5 some other features I havent tried yet
I am pleased with my buy. Very happy that the video quality is better then the free version. Might think of a 20sec back button, and some other common features, but the basic controls it has work ok for me. Update - And it plays flash video too (was not expecting that. VERY pleasantly surprised!!!)
Great app but please add a tv out option seriously is needing it!!

Some bad moments

Since you have to worry about if your video was encoded with ac3 - this app has become useless to me nut I wasted money on it mistakenly anyway, lame...
Used to be an amazing app but needs some serious patching if you hold your finger on a video or a folder it now crashes the app instead of allowing you to drag and delete it. Also has some audio codec issues.
Does not play MKV files well. Terrible audio lag. Waste of money
Very poor subtitle support. Since I need subtitle This player is useless for me
The player is fair. Some formats work without problem other formats dont synchronize video and audio or play at variable speeds so that scrolling back and forth isnt really possible
Good idea but lousy performance of video playback. Audio sync gets lost on a regular basis. Sometimes so much the video becomes unwatchable. And thats not in HD... id like my money back.
