For a laugh, go read their website (link above), which doesn't have a single true statement on it!
The fact that the crApp Store carries this is the only proof you'll ever need that Apple has lost its way — the inevitable product of too much success mixed with greed and paternalistic megalomania. Shame.

I'm not really sure what I'm paying for here. So far, however, alarm bells are ringing.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't mplayer (the engine that powers all these players) have built in delay for subtitles?
x and z Adjust subtitle delay by +/- 0.1 seconds

The project seems to be a bit 'young'... I had it crash once. That being said, the project home here:
http://hg.splayer.org/splayerx/downloads
Seems to have a vibrant community and the dev is fixing bugs. Can't fault him for putting this in the AppStore, and if you want/need this type of movie player, you can do far worse.
Dev says on his front page that the AppStore version is more stable.
3.5 stars as a whole...

It's a fork of the excellent MPlayerX.

I tried Leoofborg's link, which DOES take you to the DL page, but the app is in Chinese and has an installer, and it's safe to say that no prudent person in their right mind would download that combination of idiocy.
So until this developer gets a freaking clue, ALMOST NO ONE WHO DOESN'T SPEAK CANTONESE IS DUMB ENOUGH TO DOWNLOAD THIS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
(That's right, I'm a professor of Cultural Geography, so I'm at least educated enough to know better).

And Leoofborg, I know what you meant when you wrote "Google is your friend." But, because so many people seem either unaware or apathetic about the degree of privacy that we've already ceded (HUGE), and just how slippery that slope really is, I feel I should take every opportunity to publicize it.
As I discovered that more than half of Google's revenue comes from the evil Google Analytics, about how much tracking detritus they litter our computers with, and how they've managed to convince most companies with websites that it's not only OK but actually VIRTUOUS to gather highly detailed data about exactly where each of us goes on the Internet and our behavior while we're at those sites, and that it's OK to constantly call out from our Macs to report that data (which is now upwards of 4,000% more than just 4 years ago) — the more I think Google's execs just decided to crap on their vaunted pledge to "Do no evil." It further sickens me that we've only just scratched the surface.
Who will stop our slide down that slope if not ourselves?

Well that would be everyone alright, since Cantonese and Mandarin are spoken languages, different dialects of the same written language - Chinese. You read and write Chinese, you speak Cantonese or Mandarin.
Professor of "Cultural Geography" - whatever that is supposed to be - my ass.
