VLC is the greatest media player for iOS.

Much better than iTunes, which is shit and garbage, like most apple software (go ahead, downvote me apple fanboi).

About 6 months ago, VLC suddenly vanished from my iPhone. Turns out, Apple, feeling threatened by VLC, had banned it from the App store.

VLC: I have missed you so much... thank you for coming back to me.

What is the story of VLC and the Apple App Store. Has Apple rendered any verdict or is it just submit each version, hope for the best, sometimes yes sometimes no, randomly with no comment?

As long as the Supreme Circle Jerk consisting of Phil Schiller, Eddie Cue and Tim Cook feels like it, it'll be available. The day their food doesn't taste quite right, the bisque isn't warm enough, etc., they'll arbitrarily ban it.

VLC iOS 2.5.0 is in beta, subscribe to it!

How can we subscribe to it?
