Dissapointed in deal that had high potential
Purchased the deal, played around even though I did know what VooPlayer was all about. So here is what is good:
-Very customizable player that allows to style to your own brand
-Ability to collect leads and option to show video if it was only shared by viewer is nice
-Analytics are also very useful
And that is about it.... more bad remarks
-I have purchased the deal seeing in description it had password protection and floating video. Well, it was a lie, and those features are Enterprise level only which costs monthly. (I do see those have been removed from description)
-The player is very basic without features like funnels, password protection (really had to leave this one out too?), and pre-post ad roll feature and others that should be included.
-I was shocked to see that I had to buy SMS credits, as description also talks about sms but nothing about additional charges.
-Not the best UI/UX which gets a user very confusing and navigate
-Upgrade to Enterprise says 50% off, but its actually 12-15%
BIG DISAPPOINTMENT: While yes we can host videos on YouTube, Vimeo and others, many features of VooPlayer are not working. For example encryption to protect our videos (big selling point of the app) and video download. Have to test others to see what else =(
So things that would make this feature useful to a marketer are not included.
Overall this app has huge potential and does has some nice fatures, which I cant test because they are not included. My rating is based on what is included, on not truthful ad copy of the deal, and VooPlayer team not being transparant by recommending to host on other platforms.
3 star is highest I could give for the app with what is included and my experience with it.

May 14, 2024Hello Sumo-ling,
Thank you for expressing your thoughts with us. Please allow me to share my thoughts:
1) vooPlayer PRO or any other type of vooPlayer license that is one-time deal is NOT available anywhere at any price. This is a special deal we came up for AppSumo only, that means anyone who wants to get in on vooPlayer they have to pay recurring.
2) this app and our latest version is a result of 8-9 years of hard work and dedication. So If we break things down into money and how much we have invested to develop an app of this size it's well over than 6-Figure (if not 7).
Given the fact of statement above...don't you think is a value for money to get 80% of vooPlayer's awesome features for just a $79 one time payment? That's basically 0,0X% of what is actually costed to develop. :)
Thanks again!
