We’re Bringing Back RealPlayer for PC

If you’ve used our PC app lately, you may notice that it is now branded “RealPlayer® with RealTimes™.” Why, you may be wondering? Since we launched our new RealTimes™ branded apps this past May, we’ve been getting feedback from our PC users on which of our legacy RealPlayer® product features and which of our new RealTimes features they use the most. We listened and are making some changes to the product that will provide the best experience for our users. RealPlayer with RealTimes (aka “RealPlayer” for short) will still include the legacy features, such as Downloader, Converter and Web Videos. It will also still include our RealTimes features, such as Photos and RealTimes Stories™, our automatic video collage feature. However, we’re rolling out some changes such as separate sections for Photos and Videos to make managing your media collections easier. We will also be rolling out additional updates and  changes to the PC app over the next few months to provide an enhanced experience for our PC users.

The most used RealPlayer premium features continue to be  DVD Playback, DVD & CD Burning and Music Cleaner. Premium users creating RealTimes Stories will notice that the new default time for these video montages is now 40 seconds which allows you more pictures to start your Stories, the maximum time remains 3 minutes.

Although we have changed the PC app to “RealPlayer,” our suite of apps including RealPlayer for PC and RealTimes for Mac, iOS, and Android, will still work together in that users will still be able to save their videos and photos to the cloud and enjoy them across all of these apps.

Check back here next month to get updates on what other new features will be launching.
