Video won't play in Acrobat on iPad

I have used Rich Media to add videos in a PDF. It works well on my desktop computer but when opened on an iPad (which is required for final use) the poster remains but the videos won't play. 

 

I have tried different Apps (eg PDF Expert - videos play but the fonts get subsituted, Books - button links work but no video). I have also tried adding the video in InDesign but that still doesn't work. 

Any advice would be very welcome!
