The VLC media player by VideoLAN is used by millions of people around the world each and every day. This media player is robust and it can handle almost anything that is thrown at it. VLC spans most of the major platforms including Windows, OS X and Android and today we are delighted to be able to say that VLC for iOS is now available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
VLC was dropped by Apple back in 2011 but now it is back with a bang. VLC is one of those apps that you really miss when it's not there and although there are plenty of similar apps, we expect that users will quickly flock to this re-release. VLC for iOS seems to have no problem with all of the common file types including MP3, MP4, AVI and MKV, as well as many others. If you are a movie buff you will also be delighted to hear that there is support for subtitles. There have been a lot of VLC clones for iOS over the years but finding subtitle support is very rare.
The new VLC app also includes dropbox integration and you can easily share files via your Wi-Fi connection by streaming them through your browser. AirPlay support is also there for those who have Apple TV. You must be running iOS 5.1 or higher to use this app. This app is now available worldwide from today and you can find it for the iPhone and the iPad at the App Store.
