Is it just not a question of the right app? If you install VLC or infuse you can easily side load videos.

Probably more annoying to do that rigamarole with iTunes than just copying videos onto a microSD card? Plus iPad storage is expensive while a 512GB microSD card will run you $30 these days.

You dont have to do it using itunes. Both infuse and VLC can be a webserver you can copy files to and other options. See https://support.firecore.com/hc/en-us/articles/215091017-Bro...

But certainly, a SD card is cheap storage.

We use VLC on the Fire, and I'm aware we can on the iPad. Control of the overall UI and the storage cost are the main issues.
