GPlayer
If you are looking for an app to watch XVID/DIVX AVI, WMV, RMVB, ASF, H264, MKV, TS, M2TS movies, look no further.
GPlayer by Ginkgo Techdoes it, and it supports subtitles (SMI, ASS, SUB, SRT, TXT)!
The whole procedure is very simple. From their own description:
How do I put files into GPlayer?
To add files to your GPlayer app, you have to go to iTunes, and select the “Apps” tab. At the bottom of this page, there’s a “File sharing” section – just select GPlayer in the list, and add files from there. Note that you don’t have to sync your iPhone or iPad to iTunes to add movies. Just drop files in the “File sharing” tab, and they’ll be uploaded immediately. You can even use a friend’s iTunes to add videos to your own iPhone. Also, adding files over WiFi isn’t supported. Indeed, WiFi is significantly slower than USB, and ruins the battery life.
The user interface is simple and clean, not too many fancy schmancy thingies blinking around. Tap, tap, and you’re done.
Don’t let this opportunity pass you by, it’s free for a limited time.
So, if you need to catch up on those TV Shows you’ve downloaded ages ago and never had the time to get around it, install GPlayer at once!
IMDb Movies & TV
I shouldn’t even be talking about this here, you know.
If you’re into movies and all the shenanigans of the 7th art (and TV shows), you should be familiar with IMDB. Right?
Anyway, if there is one person out there that never heard of it, prepare for the redemption.
IMDb Movies & TV by IMDb is the mobile version of the website, and it does an excellent job at it.
You can log in with your IMDB account and rate shows and movies, create watch lists, custom lists, the whole nine yards.
As always, you can explore plotlines, trailers, showtimes, trivia and read about gossip the life of your favorite stars, with pictures, quotes and curious facts.
It is a must have app if you’re even remotely interested in movies and series. To help you decide, it goes for free.
Personally, I find it particularly helpful when I’m watching a movie and I see someone that gets me thinking “I’ve seen this person before, but I can’t remember where”. Unholster your iOS device, open the app, and within seconds you get the whole filmography of that person. Ah, now you know. You’ve seen him in Twili.. I mean, in Rambo!
Fits iPads and iPhones. As always, if you have an iPad, use it in landscape view to get that extra bang.
Naked Trailers
Are you a silver screen addict? Can’t you imagine your life without your favorite TV shows? Do you love to be up to date with the latest releases. Do you (like me) think that the trailers are the best part of the movies?
Then you’ll love this.
Naked Trailers by Reelzchannel is the app for trailers.
With a great visual, you get to browse, search, explore, watch and spend a few hours of your life that you’ll never get back (hey, it’s healthier than smoking).
Right in the initial page, you get the latest movies releases, the “coming soon” previews and some classics.
If you are looking for something more specific, you have a favorite bar on the left side, with types of trailers:
- In Theaters
- Coming Soon
- On TV
- On DVD
- On Demand
- Vintage ’90s
- Vintage ’80s
…
- Vintage ’40s
If that’s not good enough for you, you can use the great search tool that will lead you directly to that specific movie/TV show.
(don’t judge me, I didn’t take this screenshot)
For each movie/TV show, if available, you get a list of different trailers (teaser, tv trailer, movie trailer, reviews, etc)
It is a great app for iPhone and iPad, but as you probably guessed, in iPad is a whole new level, if you use it in landscape view.
As always, if you are in doubt, get it. It’s free. Can’t go wrong there.
