“The seamless iCloud synchronization is frequently highlighted as a perfect solution for tracking viewing progress across Mac, iPhone, and iPad devices seamlessly.”
“A common critique is that essential advanced playback features, including support for specific audio/video codecs needed for 4K HDR Remux files, require a paid monthly or annual Pro subscription.”
“Users attempting to use external monitors via Stage Manager on iPadOS have noted that Infuse forcefully takes over the entire external screen rather than allowing windowed playback.”
