Complet

Je comprend pas la note . Très complet.

Best media player around

HelpfulJoy! on

Canada

VLC has been the gold standard in its category across all categories for decades. See those negative reviews? Those are what IT people call PEBKAC problems - ‘problem exists between keyboard and chair’ (user error, because some people just can’t be helped). If you’re smart enough to sign your name with something other than ‘x’, use VLC. If not, I’m sure there are plenty of companies peddling apps that will charge you lots of money and reduce your privacy and offer much worse functionality than what VLC provides for free, without ads, and with some of the best privacy practices of any app developer.

Unintuitive file system management

Iwouldnotlikeanickname on

Canada

It was only through a README in the VLC folder that I finally figured out how to put local files to persist in VLC. But I can’t do it in app, I need to go to my files application just to move those audio files over.

Laggy and unresponsive

Noustbk on

Canada

Network stream interruptions freeze the app, and it requires a full app quit to become responsive again.

Legendary Developers and app that never switched up once

Canada

The developers not budging on their belief vlc should always be free is so refreshing and deserving of respect in this day and age where greed demands paid subscriptions for literally everything under the sun. ty for being REAL outta all the fakes

Intermittent loud static sound

I downloaded this to listen to my offline music catalogue and there is an intermittent loud static sound every 10 seconds.

Good media player but file sharing through pc doesn’t work

Tried setting up file sharer and kept getting different error codes or urls that didn’t work when types into a computer

The Gold Standard for Media

Nabeels on

Canada

Aside from a few bugs that arose in some versions, I’ve enjoyed over a decade of use of VLC across several platforms and OS’s, nothing comes close to the wide compatibility, precise fine tuned control that this gives you. Maybe they’ve given us a bit too much control for some new users’ own good. Check settings before assuming it’s VLC. I’ve had MANY broken and corrupted files, totally unplayable on native media players, but this thing plays anything you throw at it. Windows, Mac, IOS, user.

Permanently On Shuffle

M0077u on

Canada

I have used the desktop version for years with no issue. In the iOS app the shuffle button is permanently activated, whether listening to an album or a playlist. I have deleted and reloaded the app but the problem persists.

Way too buggy

Canada

Poorly designed, poorly implemented
