Description

Repository for my simple iOS app suiting my needs about movie/series subtitles
Coded in few hours so be clement! (✿◠‿◠)

Super simple Subtitle player: Search & Play!

FIND

• Search movies and TV series through the huge OpenSubtitles.org online database
• Or import your own subtitles!
• Find subtitles in your preferred language (OpenSubtitles.org offers 70+ languages)
• Binge watching? Tired to write? Get to the next episode and even to the next season quickly with E+1 and S+1 buttons.

PLAY!

• The subtitle file starts playing right after you choose it in the list
• Full-screen experience
• Play/Pause button if you need a break
• Use the scrub bar to find your favorite scene
• Delay or advance in time, so you stay synced with your video
• Pinch to resize the text of the subtitles
• Change the font, color, size, encoding

SHARE

• Send the subtitles with any messaging app (WhatsApp, Messenger…) to share them with your friends!
• Export to any other app, such as video players
• Quick share with AirDrop or iCloud Drive to find them on your Mac/PC

TIPS

• Perfect if you do not want to see the subtitles spoiling the screen on top of your movie/TV series!
• This is also useful to perfect your English (or any foreign language depending on the original version), since you focus on the voices more than reading every word, especially if the subtitles are translated. Put your iOS device somewhere near, you'll get used to check the subtitles only when you'd be lost!
• Use a keyboard on iPad to make it stand in front of you, and navigate easier with the keyboard shortcuts
• Get back to your ongoing show with 3D Touch actions on the app icon

Completely free and unlimited, with ads that can be easily removed.
