Yappo advertises "adult movies on your terms" with more than 48,000 movies from 1,000 studios and a pay-per-minute fee set-up. There is no monthly membership price so what you see is what you get and you can purchase time packages starting from 25 minutes for $4.83 (about $.19 cents per minute) to 850 minutes for $68.86 (about $.08 cents per minute). Seeing as each movie can be anywhere from 50 minutes to 200 minutes in length, your best option is probably closer to the 280 minutes for $28.84, which averages to about $.10 cents per minute. Another option offered is a 7 or 30 day download for $7.95 or $14.95. Aside form the large archive of movie content, Yappo has some of the biggest studio names in the industry going for them, including: AdamEve, Legend, Wicked, Red Light District, Devils Films, Silverstone, Hustler, and more.
The Pros
Large Archive of DVD Content.
Yappo is one humongous archive of DVD content. Your pay per minute options run from 25 minutes, 50 min, 90 min, 120 min, 280 min, 420 min, 620 min and up to 850 minutes. There are so many full-length DVD titles to check out from some of your biggest name studios and hottest pornstars.
User-Friendly Site Design.
The site design is fully dynamic offering a keyword search & advanced search feature, niche, studio and pornstar browsing, preference settings, purchase histories, favorites and more. All of the movie content lists and cross-links information like: length, category (niche), performer, studio, etc. Most videos can be streamed in full or by scene and a list of alternate movie selections are listed below.
Some Good Quality Content/Many Viewing Quality Options.
Videos are offered as streams from dial-up connection speeds to HD format video as high as 1500k - 2000k. In general, the video quality looks fairly nice. Streaming formats offered can include WMV, Silverlight and possibly even Flash for some of the more recent content.
Other Good Stuff:
7 day and 30 day rentals are available for some titles, however, I didn't run across any this visit. Have they done away with rental options?
TBP users get 25 minutes free when they sign up via our TBP link.
The Cons
No Downloads/ PPV Only.
You can't download and keep any of the movies here. The method of viewing is simply streaming so once you've seen it a video, you'd have to pay to see it again. As with all pay per view sites, costs can add up quick. Their basic price starts at $4.83 for 25 minutes, or 19 cents a minute (though if you buy in bulk you can get it down to 8 or 10 cents a minute), which is an average price for a ppv site. It just gets expensive fast. PPV systems are good if you're looking for specific titles but not so much for general viewing.
Non-Exclusive DVD Content.
That's the nature of a DVD archive site like this. Nearly all of the content here can be found elsewhere. These are DVDs that you can find on other sites or by ordering the actual DVD yourself.
Quality Ranges And Could Still Be Better.
Most the HD version only offered bitrates up to 2100k (800x600). Yappo suggests viewing these at 200%, but for most videos, the quality is just not there to do it. I can understand quality ranging from DVD to DVD, but compared to other DVD sites, Yappo could stand to step it up a notch or two.
Many Premium Titles Cost 2x - 3x The Amount of Credits.
This is something new I noticed this review, and actually very disappointing to see. When I first saw a DVD title with the 2x/minute disclaimer, I was a little taken back. But when I saw a DVD title going for 3x the normal rate, I was actually angry! Thankfully there are enough DVD's offered overall, most of which don't appear to have the extra costs so users should still be able to find content they enjoy.
Minor Negatives:
Updates appear to have slowed since past visits. Back when we first reviewed Yappo they were updating with multiple DVD's daily. Right now it looks like 3-5 new titles can be expected weekly, possibly more. With so much content to go through, you probably won't notice the slower-than-normal update schedule.
Short descriptions are given for most DVD's, but not for the scenes themselves. And often times the description can even be as short as one sentence.
No advanced search feature or option to browse using multiple filters.
Bottom Line
A big hit for fans of pay per view porno and those that can afford it.
Overall I found Yappo to be a user-friendly and straightforward pay per minute video site. Obviously if you're watching your wallet this is not the best option for you, but if you're looking for a large video site and only care to PPV movie titles anyway, then the selection here is worth checking out. Yappo may not be the largest PPV site out there, but I think it might be the most user-friendly with some nice streaming options and browse features. I did find a video here and there that required 2-3x the normal amount of credits to view, but there must be some good reason for it? If it were up to me I'd save my money for a quality video site with unlimited downloads and no DRM, but all in all Yappo delivers on its promise for a large, user-friendly PPV movie site.
