Today, the folks at Videolan have rolled out a new update for the iOS app. VLC for iOS 7 brings a revamped user interface as well as new multi-touch gestures which aim to make it much easier for users to control the app.
The new user interface is in line with the UI changes that Apple has made in iOS 7, the company made a lot of UI changes in its latest and greatest iOS update. New multi-touch gestures include horizontal swipe for playback position, vertical swipe in the right half of the video to adapt volume, similar swipe in the left half of the video to adapt brightness and two finger tap to play and pause. The app also supports downloads from Google Drive as well as download and streaming support from Dropbox. Users will also be able to rename any media item in the library view and delete multiple items at once. VLC is available as a free download from the App Store.
