Ive been using this app on my iPad to view movies I have on my computer and connected storage device. Earbuds plugged in and sharp little screen is a convenient way for me to privately watch movies. Choosing "High Quality" and "Watch" works well for me. You can pause anytime without problems but going backward or searching around would only work if you choose "Download" (but that is a slow process). You do have to add a helper to your computer that is a free download. Has never given me a problem on my MacBook Pro.
