Download VLC, don't use this.

Even if the dev paid me $5 to use this, I'd turn down the offer. It's crap, ugly, doesn't work well.

It's good to see this garbage app where it belongs — on the corporate dung heap known as the App Store.

I tried it, and it's laughable.

I do not like an idea to pay almost 5 bucks for this app. The developers gave us nothing special to switch from VLC to Meteoroid.

obviously vlc is all any mac users needs to play anything and for free,but we must admit this app contains something nO quicktime player pro or not has ever.. a PLAYLIST FEATURE! yes there is a few apps that add a playlist to quicktime but they too aren't free and/or don't work well or need to be running in conjunction with quickitme to work.

If you do your own homework you'll find that there are several freeware movie players that support playlists, and they're much higher quality than Meteorite. In fact, I'll bet most people who have at least one movie player in their Apps folder other than VLC already have one.

No serious Mac user would waste any money on this application.

There are plenty of free applications.

Absolutely pathetic.

Horrible looking app. Poorly designed and implemented. Over-priced and a greedy developer.

For free there are far better alternatives or pay for QuickTime Pro and get the real thing instead of this lame rip off!

It's unbelievable that this crapplication costs $12. I've toyed with each version as it was released, and it's not even good enough to keep if it were free!

Some developers are halfassed hacks, and some are appallingly greedy. But this dev — UM App Share — is both, and clueless about it to boot!
