![]() ![]() Movist has been my go-to media player for years, especially because of its stellar subtitle support. Why should anyone screen the devs before making a purchase? The idea alone is undignifying. While I am glad to see the developers are finally seeing their product as a real business opportunity, but be honest with your consumers. ![]() ![]() Often, if there are major changes to the billing systems, such as the one Movist has gone through, not only they announce the decision across all social media, they don't slap the non-Korean speaking users by making it "free" for only few. I had to run Google Translate just to read why Movist made a decision to go indepependent and run the so-called event only for 4 months without publicizing it. They need to work with Apple to deliver the app, not run a pseudo black market. Even now the app description leaves that part out. They could have simply added the fact that there are two versions available like any other apps do. Most apps, when confronted with rules and policies conflicts, choose to create a downloadable add-on, which then can be downloaded separately, not fully going independent. But seeing an upgrade event held in barely-in-existence website alongside another minor Korean sub, does make me wonder if the developer had the intention to make this available outside of Korea.īlaming Apple for strict App Store policies has not and will not help anyone either. If this is a major upgrade, heck, you might want to consider subscription model. But seeing there was a "free upgrade event" for all licenses, except that it was not announced on the App Store front, is simply hilarious.ĭon't get me wrong here: I believe there are ought to be second payment. I've been using this app even before it hit the App Store, and was very grateful to see it available on the store. Movist finally has a working support website, except neither the website nor the App Store does the justice to keep people informed. I’m sure everyone knows what they are ought to expect by simply looking at the screenshots. There are also some real competitors showing up on the App Store.ĭedicated subtitle supports and options, and good enough performance. Or it was, now that Movist *PRO* is available on the developer's website separately, perhaps I should refrain from calling it the best. It’s probably one of the best media players available in the App Store. Check it out before you make the purchase. There was also a free upgrade event, most English-speaking users would have missed out on. It has support for multiple codecs such as MKV, H.264, WebM, WMV, mp3, etc.Tl dr There is now a *PRO* version of the same app available only on the developers' website. The VLC media player is a cross-platform multimedia player that can play most things you throw at it, including CDs and DVDs. The traffic cone-shaped video player has been around for almost two decades now and it has a legacy only a few can match. Let’s look at some of the better video players for Mac. Not to mention, the user interface is simply not designed for the keyboard and you need to use the mouse for every little control. It plays just a few of the popular video formats like MOV, MP4, etc but simply refuses to play sophisticated formats such as MKVs. QuickTime Player is a native macOS video player that works well if you want to watch a few short clips. That’s why I have narrowed down the list after researching dozens of video players and here are the best video players for Mac. Even though the Mac has QuickLook preview and QuickTime Player, it doesn’t quite offer the intuitiveness and advanced features that other video players offer. Whether you’re revisiting your old movies collection or watching your highschool reunion videos, a decent video player is always a good idea. ![]()
