MediaInfo

Why? Why would you release an app that is supposed to be the mobile complement to a very useful and comprehensive desktop application with so many limitations? Only being able to view files that are saved in your iCloud Drive folder makes no sense at all. If you have files that you’ve airdrop to yourself and are stored on your camera roll or just general files in your camera roll you need to copy them over to your iCloud Drive which not only doubles the amount of space used on your device but adds frustrating and time consuming steps. The benefits of having a basic utility to quickly view detailed specs on media files doesn’t justify the extra hoops this app makes you jump through. Why the limitation?

Please add this app to work directly into photos app using share option exactly like how View EXIF App work. And this app will copy the video to it self directly and there is no way to remove that files. So be careful about that.

After you open a video file with this app, this app will be contain that video file in it. You can see this app become very large in the system settings, iPad storage option.

You have to copy individual files to your files (iCloud Drive or whatever it’s called) and only then you can access them. You can’t get info from your camera roll or a photo or video album.

This app would be AMAZING and worth the price of the subscription fees I’m currently paying – if any ONLY IF – the application would show up as an option when selecting a file in any other app to, “Open in...’, where “MediaInfo” could ideally be an option. I’ve tried extensively to search for this ability by managing my Actions Menu that pops up for opening files in other applications, and MediaInfo is the ONE APP out of several on my iOS devices that seems to be *incapable* of appearing in the menu when trying to share/open ANY sort of file from ANY other application. Would the Developer(s) of this application PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE work on resolving what should be the easiest feature to include??? Literally every other iOS application has this feature, and the fact that this one doesn’t is beyond frustrating. What’s the point of having this application – AND PAYING FOR THE “EXTRA FEATURES” – if it cannot do the one task it needs to? What’s the point of this app without such a significant feature? I’m asking you honestly. I’ll wait...

Finally! I’ve looked for Mediainfo on iOS (now iPadOS) for years. Part of my job is to look at media file encoding to determine its compatibility, and that the file is actually properly encoded in the first place. I work from home with 2 (soon to be 3) kiddos. My iPad (now iPadPro) has had a big role to play in my daily workflow, even just my ability to WORK while on the go. Having Mediainfo right on my iPadPro now is a HUGE deal for me. THANK YOU (and take my money!)!!!
