The selection and genres are wide, even including variety shows. But the app automatically plays first episode of anything even though I just wanted more information. It's not allowing me to cast to my TV. I hate having to put the phone near my face to watch anything and it's causing my hands to cramp. So hopefully there will be that option in the future. Until then a 3 star!!!
I changed my rating to 4 stars for 3 reasons. 1st having a drama start when you just want to read what it's about. 2nd not being able to change the caption setting. Having it always in white makes it difficult to read if the background is light. 3rd even though I have no issues watching it on my cellphone when I try to watch it on my TV it's slow, freezes and/or closes the app.
I too, would've given this app 5 stars if it wouldn't auto play shows when just wanting to read the description, and if you didn't show ads/banners for upgrading to VIP to members who are already VIPs (me). Also, whenever I go to watch a show, unless it's really late at night, like 2am or so, the video keeps jumping, stalling and then plays with no sound before freezing. So I'm constantly exiting the app and reopening it just to get through an episode. It's seriously frustrating.
Love the app. It would be better if it would open when I'm offline since half the time I have issues with that, even having some videos in my downloads. But once it reads that I have videos, it plays seamlessly. Also, if it wouldn't automatically play a video if I accidentally click on it would be nice. I kind of wished it would give option to download beforehand. But besides those 2 minor things, I am rather enjoying this!
Like the show selection but the captions are sometimes very hard to read. They are all in gray or white text so sometimes you can't read what is being said if the caption is posted on a white or light background. An example would be if the speaker in the movie has on a white shirt and the captions are at the bottom on the speaker's shirt. You totally miss some important parts of what is going on.
The content itself is fine, but the app itself is horrible. Navigation is difficult and finding what you want is hit or miss. I hate that I can't click a show to find out details without it auto playing the first episode. I just want to know what it's about before choosing whether to watch or not! And in the middle of every episode an annoying pop up shows up on screen asking me to rate it. I signed up for the $.99 intro month so I could binge a few shows, but I'll definitely cancel after that
I would give this app 5 stars but, they need to work on the English subtitles. For example on Beauty of Resilience; the English subtitle sentence will pop up and by the time you read the first word of it. The sentence will dissappear. They are not allowing the user to read it all with enough time allowed. I found this on other shows as well. Oh and I pay for no ads!
This app forces you to make a purchase otherwise you only see the first 6 minutes as a preview but the English translation s aren't that good, it isn't easy to change the translations language and the app doesn't remember your preference. Even you are able to get English subtitles they zoom by and are hard to read. If I'm forced to pay to view anything then I expect things to be easier.
I would love to give more stars, and I know it's not the app's fault, but 5min of advertisement every 10 to 15min that you cannot skip is just too much. When the skip button does appear, you barely skip one ad, so you still end up waiting 4/5 ads most of the time and they are each 1min long (not kidding). Sometimes you cannot even select the skip button via the TV remote to skip, it appears but you just can't hit it.
love this app! the low rating is for a few issues. but I still enjoy the app. 1. subtitles are often wrong & make no sense. 2. if you fast forward then the subtitles will be off. The only way to fix it is to restart the entire episode. 3. if you pause any show or exit off it for any reason, your progress is not save. it will restart you on episode one. 4. continue watching section takes 3 days to update. so you need to remember where you were if you exit the app.
