Hi all, I was about to buy and install NPlayer, but since I'll be using NPlayer to watch all of my videos, is there any chance for NPlayer to send information back to the app's author? Can NPlayer send back information about me?
I was really worried about this so I haven't bought the app as yet.
Thanks for any help!
Is your iPad not able to play videos without this app? Better not to buy anything if it can.
My iPad can play videos no problem, but I just wanted to know if NPlayer was a safe app and trustworthy?
It's available on the App Store so presumably Apple thinks It's OK.
Thanks!
It'd be great if I can hear the advice from someone else as well.
If you are that concerned about your private viewing habits being observed or information being sent back to the developers, then quite simply, just don't download the app. Nobody here can guarantee anything, no matter how informed their options seem to be.
Thanks, so just the fact that NPlayer is on the iOS App Store means that it's relatively safe?

For the most, to me it means that it is safe to use. But Apple has had a couple of slip ups and has pulled apps for security reasons, but that is very, very, very rare.
Thanks for your reply! I just read that VLC for iOS can speed up video files as well.
Do you use NPlayer by the way, Demo?
No, I don't use NPlayer. I was speaking from general experience using the App Store on my iOS devices over the years. I trust that Apple is doing their due diligence when they test the apps. But there are lots of developers trying to get tons of apps through the process, so every now and then, a stinker is bound to get through.
I would check with the developer's of the app and see what their privacy policies are if you are that concerned about it.
Thanks, but how do I do that?
Thanks! Does anyone know how many users there are of NPlayer? If it has lots of users it must be safe, right?
There were a number of stockholders in Enron, how did that work out?
Only the developer could tell you how many users they have. If you are this concerned I would skip any apps.
Thanks, but what does Enron have to do with anything?
NPlayer: Is it safe?
