Can you pls fix that issue? ### 1/5 — Subtitle still doesn’t work *2023-06-13* Videos play without subtitles even if caption is enabled ### 3/5 — Great app, but captions do not work *2023-05-26* This app works very well on my iPad, and it’s easy to navigate to each of the classes without issues. I also like how you’re able to bookmark sections of the video, do quick playbacks for areas that you need to repeat to follow-along with the demos, and access class materials in an easy-to-find tab so that you can try the exercises on your own drawing app. However, the one thing I have been having issues with lately are the captions. I have tried changing the colors and settings of the captions, but they will not show up for my videos, which I kind of need to help me better understand what the instructors are saying, esp. if the instructors are speaking their native language and not English. I hope this gets fixed soon—other than that, this app is pretty good so far. ### 1/5 — Subtitles not work *2023-05-11* I extremely appreciate to have Coloso courses, as they are really useful contents. The only problem about the app. As everyone has mentioned, the subtitles are not working. It seems that the developer has been working on that for months (but still not work). I hope the the app developer can tackle this issue. ### 3/5 — Subtitles *2023-05-05* I spent over 200 dollars on this app and the subtitles do not work. I don’t know how to fix it and I am very upset about it. I’m unable to see the subtitles on any device I have. ### 1/5 — Problem with the subtitles *2023-04-30* Subtitles just wouldn’t be display and it’s not that my device is bad or anything but still the problem is always there. Pls do fix this issue ### 2/5 — No subtitles *2023-04-29* Quite smooth but subtitles don’t work no matter how much I tweak the settings. ### 3/5 — I’m quite disappointed with this app *2023-03-25* It’s infuriating to buy a course you only have a 100 days to watch and waste time trying to make the app work. It crashes, subtitles aren’t showing and it doesn’t even have a search bar, which to me is the most basic thing and it would help the user browse through the courses much better. I’m overall very upset right now! ### 2/5 — I’m sorry. But there’s so much improvement that needs to be done. *2023-03-12, version 1.2* First off, thank you for making an app. Second, the tablet version is way more better. Subtitles don’t work and now app keeps crashing upon opening. ### 1/5 — Software unreliable *2023-03-09* Coloso software keeps crushing on Ipad. ### 1/5 — Subtitles missing. Quality not great on there *2023-02-25, version 1.2* I need subtitles to understand my classes and learn. ### 2/5 — subtitles problems *2023-02-20* The Videos plays are works fine. but mostly have issue with subtitles, as it won’t appear even when you have turn on and off the subtitle settings, deleting and re downloading the coloso app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App crashed and unable to open *2024-09-03* The courses and lecturers are great but the app is not usable. It crashed after watching for 20 min, it will continue to play sound while the app freezes. It will crash if you switch to another app. Now my app is crashed forever no matter how I try to reinstall it… course is expensive but I don’t understand why you don’t invest in building a better app :( ### 1/5 — Always crashes *2024-08-03* I have never successfully went past the login before. It just crashes. 0 start if I can ### 1/5 — Unable to use External Monitor *2024-03-04* External monitor support is something that is basic functionality in iPad and iPhone 15 over USB-C. Plugging in a USBC to HDMI adapter says recording software detected, close the app and try again. This is unacceptable. Every video streaming app allows external monitor support. ### 1/5 — Does work in Dubai and bad customer service *2024-03-02* The video player they use is dumb. It doesn’t work in Dubai and there are not even responding to my mails. I paid 16k INR to not have any of the videos accessible. I need help or I need my money back ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2024-02-07* For the amount of money you spend on a course, there is barely any guidance on what the best platforms are to use the app. You only learn about it when you get pigeonholed into using the app when you realize you can’t watch it on your iPad browser. Then when using the app, there is so much latency I don’t know how anyone manages to use this. My video always stutters and, in the last hour, wasn’t able to connect to the server about 10 times before I gave up. This is all the while I’m able to watch short-form video or listen to audiobooks just fine on the same wi-fi network. Save yourself the energy, just watch it on your computer. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2024-01-24* So far I have found accessing content by Coloso more difficult than most. I didn’t want to install the separate Kollus player on my new M2 Mac as it would also require me to install Rosetta. The separate video player is required so I thought I’d try this iPhone app. New problem - the audio doesn’t work. Well, it only works if I use headphones. The app is glitchy too and randomly shuts off. This is all too tedious and disappointing. ### 1/5 — This app s*ck also some courses are low quality for 160Aud *2023-12-04* Don’t use it ### 1/5 — No Sound *2023-11-30* No sound for videos, and cannot screen share ### 1/5 — A Slap in the face for how much you pay on courses *2023-11-26* Colosso app will not allow me to play content because I have reached my “device limit”. That is fine, in most streaming services this is handled by the user in app settings. I just simple delete a device right? Nope. You have to email support and wait for written permission to change your devices. Dear Colosso Team, your media player has never worked for me on public WiFi. Your app seems to be just as big of a pain. I’m all for fighting piracy and getting creators paid, but your paid experience has to be functional, if not premium for the rates you charge. If it’s BAD and EXPENSIVE you realize your are creating a demand for pirated content? ### 1/5 — App crashes after Sign in *2023-10-04* I already have an account that i made on my computer so i try to sign in but as soon as i do the apps closes and if i reopen it immediately closes again. I redownloaded it and tried again, same scenario. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2023-08-30* Works very well, and I’m not a bot or pay review, I’m a real dude. ### 5/5 — EDIT: Subtitles work!! *2023-06-19* The subtitles will work if you go to ⭐️Settings -> Use Built-In IOS Player It also makes the video clearer when in vertical mode! ### 4/5 — It works *2024-05-12* The app works fine. No issues, class videos play smoothly. I’d prefer the app than the sketchy Koloso player they require you to install on PC. For iPad and mobile it seems to be alright. The content is good though since you’re learning from professional illustrators. Only 4 stars because on PC it’s very sketchy, I’m not downloading that on my PC. ### 4/5 — Its Alright *2024-01-06* Does the job fine for a video player, just wish i could do more in the app. If sound doesn’t work, try turning on ringer and switch the player mode to built in ios l. ### 4/5 — Great app with minor bugs *2023-08-17* **Updated Review** The app is running better, now—the captions finally appear for the classes that I opt to watch with subtitles! It still freezes once in a while when navigating some of the menus, so I end up restarting the app in those cases. But most of the time, going through the menu and watching the course videos is quick and easy. I appreciate that Coloso worked to resolve the issues I had with the app and addressed it for a more user-friendly experience! My review still stands for how much I love the Coloso app for accessing my courses on my iPad and for the playback features of the video player. I hope that in the future, they add the ability to download videos from the course sections to allow for offline viewing in places like airplanes or wherever wi-fi is not easily accessible. **Original Review** This app works very well on my iPad, and it’s easy to navigate to each of the classes without issues. I also like how you’re able to bookmark sections of the video, do quick playbacks for areas that you need to repeat to follow-along with the demos, and access class materials in an easy-to-find tab so that you can try the exercises on your own drawing app. However, the one thing I have been having issues with lately are the captions. I have tried changing the colors and settings of the captions, but they will not show up for my videos, which I kind of need to help me better understand what the instructors are saying, esp. if the instructors are speaking their native language and not English. I hope this gets fixed soon—other than that, this app is pretty good so far. ### 4/5 — Subtitles only available in Kollus app *2023-04-03* *Updated* I am updating this review because support has gotten back to me with a solution to the subtitle issue, which was my main concern when using this app. As it turns out, there is a setting that you can try to use if the default setting prevent subtitles from appearing: Settings > Use Built-in IOS Player ### 4/5 — Good app, better on PC *2023-02-21, version 1.2* There’s no subtitles for the app on the iPhone ### 4/5 — It's alright *2022-11-20, version 1.2* I'm a new user to coloso and when I saw the bad reviews for this app I got a bit nervous, but, to my surprise the app works fine. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback, As we updated, the previous version won't be available, we recommend that all users with the following specs update their app for an optimized learning environment. ### 4/5 — App crash *2022-04-24, version 1.1* When I try to open the app after signing up the class it closes immediately. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please reinstall and reboot the device if you have trouble with watching classes. Also, you can send your inquiry to help@coloso.us. We always try hard for a better learning system. Please feel free to contact us with any suggestions! ### 3/5 — Great content, buggy app :( *2024-03-08* I have no problem with subtitles, already figured that out, but having the app (and browser) crashing all the time has gotten annoying. Right now I can’t even access the app which is a huge bummer. All Coloso needs is to run stabler! I’ve bought a handful of classes and they really are good! I just want to be able to watch them without it crashing or freezing up. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
