Velora Player, an offline audio and video player for iPhone and iPad, is free on the App Store at the time of writing, down from an original price of US $0.99 according to the tip site New Mobile Life. No end date for the offer has been published.

How do you get it?

Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and search for Velora Player: Video & Audio, or open the official listing linked in this story. Check that the price button says Get, then download it.

The listing shows an in app purchase section, and the sources do not say whether any feature sits behind one. Look at the listing before you rely on a particular feature.

Who it suits

People with local media files. If you keep FLAC albums or MKV films on your device, one app for both is the core appeal, and the supported format list is long.

Subtitle users. The SRT, ASS, SSA and VTT support with customization suits anyone who watches foreign language video from their own library.

Travelers and commuters. Everything plays offline, so downloaded files work without a connection.

Who should wait. The app is new and has only 4 ratings on its listing, all at 5.0. If you rely on a mature player with a long track record, keep it until you have tested Velora with your own files.

What is still unknown?

The offer end date is not published, and the sources do not say how long the app has been free or what the price will be afterward. Performance with large 4K files has not been independently tested, and the ratings so far come from a very small group.

Next step

Open the official App Store listing, confirm the price shows as free in your country, and test a few of your own files before deleting your current player.
