### 4/5 — Love it

*2026-08-16, version 6.2*

Works well just hate having to watch ads when trying to change video.

### 5/5 — Great but…

*2026-06-24, version 6.2*

It’s a great app and great set up but if I didn’t have to unlock my phone and didn’t have ads it would be top tier

### 1/5 — Your mobile player

*2026-06-05, version 6.2*

Honestly, I had a lot of faith in this game until I actually tried it out first off with the ads and stuff. It didn’t say anything about ads in the description. Maybe I haven’t looked at it right now. I saw what I saw it personally it was even working. I had to put my charger in to make a charge and then it started saying how it was helping my phone charge one about portable chargers is that they actually work this one did it so I’m giving it a one star review at this point they can’t even offer me premium to give me them a better review. Sorry for a long review.
