VidPowr reviews

As a frequent user of video embedding tools, I had high hopes for VidPowr's customization and ease of use. However, I was severely disappointed to find out that the platform does not support the 'playsinline' attribute for embedded interactive videos. Without this feature, the Safari browser on iOS devices will not support VidPowr's native interactive player. Instead, when the VidPowr video plays, it is immediately covered over by the device's default fullscreen player which then hides all the interactive elements (CTAs, forms, quizzes, etc.). The only clunky workaround that their support team suggested is to wait for any pauses in the VidPowr video from the added interactions that would also trigger a pause in the full-screen video playing over it. When it gets to that part, users would somehow need to know to close the device's full-screen video player to see the paused VidPowr video underneath it and then take action based on the interactivity shown. This is NOT realistic or intuitive for any user to be able to do.

Their support team incorrectly states that the iOS Safari browser does not support interactions on videos, which is NOT true. I am currently using other video platforms (like Wistia, Gumlet, and H5P) that also include interactive features and they all play properly without relying on the iOS device's native player. For businesses like mine that rely on embedded videos and seamlessly integrate with their web designs, this limitation is a dealbreaker! The 'playsinline' attribute is critical to ensure a smooth user experience on iOS devices, as the lack of support for this functionality disrupts the flow of content and diminishes usability. If other more modern video platforms can manage to implement inline playback for their interactive videos on iOS devices with no issue, why can't VidPowr do the same?

Until this feature is supported, iOS users will not be able to interact properly with the VidPowr video player. This forces us to now look elsewhere for truly mobile-friendly solutions. VidPowr, please address this glaring issue!! There is no good excuse for this!

I mainly bought this deal because the offer stated you can easily upload your existing videos from YouTube, Vimeo, etc. and allow your viewers to have a better experience. I tried to upload from Vimeo over and over again since I've bought the deal four weeks ago. And it doesn't work. VidPowrs support told me they are looking into this and know about the issues, but it's not clear when (or if?!) they will fix it. I can't wait till forever, guys, so I'm going to ask for a refund. This is very disappointing.

I've been researching and trialling a lot of video solutions and VidPowr has been a welcome discovery that has made a really effective addition. Interaction has been a big missing part of the social media video content solutions that I've acquired - Some of these do elements of video production really effectively, but adding the additional layer of VidPowr options makes them really effective. Definitely worth five tacos. The only additional thing I'd like to see in the app is a branching and storyline workflow. Other than that - Wonderful.

I am currently in search of a similar product, and I must say that this one not only meets but exceeds my expectations. Its features, quality, and performance are beyond what I was anticipating, making it a standout option in comparison to others. I’m genuinely impressed and will definitely consider this product for future needs.

The tool seems promising. I was looking for some tools to use video in my class, and it appears that this one would be very helpful. This will make my life way easier when it comes to teaching.

They have various functions that I still need to explore more, but at least I see that they are in the process of making it better. One thing that I would like to ask is for more tutorial videos.

Thank you for bring back the deal on the right timing. :)

I had been looking for a lifetime product to make my videos interactive after running into ads for similar subscription products on Facebook. I'm so glad this deal came back to Appsumo! So far it's everything I could hope for!
Thank you!

I'm currently in the process of signing up, but so far it’s been an excellent and smooth process. The key is that the product itself is top quality and mature (not just a test product as I’ve encountered once in while). The VidPowr team seems to recognize what consumers are seeking, and I’m excited to dive in further into the platform!

I'm still onboarding, but the whole process is top-notch and seamless. This is a polished product already — not the alpha-stage mess that we sometimes get. You know what Sumolings want. Great job, VidPowr team!
I full-stacked.

From the best tools I have; I've noticed a significant advancement in its development. Lots of potential, ideal for generating deeper interactions and sales processes. I also love that it can somehow connect with the other tools from the developer, whom I take this opportunity to express has always guided me with their customer service, a thousand thanks.

Colleagues, do not lose this tool or you will regret it. Hopefully, you won't come back to read later: I told you so (something I love doing :) )

I've just started rolling with this one, but the capabilities look terrific. Can't wait to deep dive.

I have been working on trying to replace Loom for a min. I was a bit unsure if this would really replace Loom. I am happy to report that even though it isn't quite as easy to use as Loom, it has all the features and then some. I think I will not only be able to replace Loom, but have an even better version of it! That makes me so incredibly happy. I am not super tech savvy so I was a bit worried, but truly this is an awesome product!

I've been using Spotlightr for the last 5 years and will have paid almost $1k over that time. Having an LTD that does basically the same thing with far more generous thresholds as well as offering an agency tier makes this an incredible value. Not only will I get ROI on both but have the opportunity to really make some money with this software.
Once I've had the time to immerse myself I plan to come back and share that experience. For now I'm very impressed with the interface and the simplicity of use. I believe this forward thinking founder will continue to bring value to his clients and I can't wait to see what the future holds.
