But on the newer one it doesn’t have that and it’s a little disappointing i have to keep up with the timing and episodes i’m on. ### 2/5 — Upstate is so bad *2024-01-15* I really liked this app very much. Like VERY much but the problem is that when I deleted the app and downloaded it agian it updated and took many shows that were the best. I think the new update or whatever is not good it should go back to the old version. And one more this that I don’t like is that it does not keep up with the shows you watch. Like you have to remember which show you were on ### 3/5 — Go back to the old version pls *2023-12-29* love this app but this version is not good I can’t find my favourite shows I have to look for it every time plus all the problems on the reviews please go back to the old version thank you . ### 3/5 — When watching *2023-12-29* I used to love the old hold down to skip or like the lock button while your watching and just in general how the old app looked in so sad it changed :( ### 2/5 — New update is missing features *2023-12-27* Since the most recent update, I can no longer access My List. You can save shows to the list but there is no where to find the list again. Also, the subtitles for many of the shows I have tried to watch do not match up with the audio. Or even the correct episode. Very frustrating ### 3/5 — Subtitles are a problem *2023-12-27* It is a good app. But I hate they keep updating it. And please fix the subtitles. Like I’m on episode 2 but it’s playing subtitles from episode 1. Please fix that. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Try Again? *2023-12-27* I Prefer The Older Version. I Can’t Log Onto The New One. I Can’t Start Back The Episode I Stopped At, Let Alone FIND Which Episode I Stopped At Without Hitting An Ad Each Time Which Is Completely Irritating. Maybe Find A Way To Update The App Without Making A Whole New One, It’s Troublesome For Those Of Us Who Uses This App A Lot. Please Update It Or Make A New One. And Please Add A ”List” Or ”Continue Watching” Option. ### 3/5 — Subtitles *2023-12-26* The subtitles keep showing the words to the previous episode, very upsetting. ### 2/5 — Many shows are missing.. and kept on showing error *2023-12-26* Shows that were in previous version is missing, bring them back, older version was much better. This one is totally buggy ### 3/5 — Subtitle *2023-12-26* There’s issue with the subtitle! It keeps showing subtitle from previous episodes Please fix ASAP ### 2/5 — Subtitles 👎 *2023-12-26* Watching dramas on this app is not going well for me. I’m trying to watch dramas. The subtitles work for episode 1, but then for every episode after it plays the episode but with the subtitles from episode 1. Please fix, it’s extremely annoying. ### 1/5 — Title: Disappointing update *2023-12-24* I recently experienced the latest update of hitv and unfortunately, it left much to be desired. The changes introduced have led to a less user-friendly experience, with several features becoming cumbersome or outright malfunctioning. Additionally, performance issues and unexpected crashes have become all too common. It's disheartening to see a previously reliable app take a step backward. The update seems to prioritize unnecessary aesthetic changes over functionality, leaving users like myself searching for alternatives. I hope the developers address these concerns promptly in future updates to restore the app to its former, more efficient state. ### 3/5 — Subtitles *2023-12-24* The subtitles does not match please work on this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible and annoying *2024-01-21* The older one was much better. I hate the amount of ads it makes you watch, and after 1 or two episodes you have to exist out of what you are watching because there will be an add where you tap for the next episode and the x won’t work when you tap on it. To many annoying ads I hope the creators will fix it. ### 1/5 — My opinion on HiTv *2024-01-18* I like it because usually one shownapps you need to pay to watch alot of shows but on this app you can watch almost everything for free without even a trial. I like that also because the shows I watch on here I usually have to pay or a trail on other apps before watching it 💜😊 But I do wish it had play back speeds and the history of what I'm watching and continue watching so I hope that gets fixed ### 1/5 — A few things needed fixing *2024-01-11* The recent removal of K-dramas, “Extraordinary You” and “Twinkling Watermelon,” from HITV has left me utterly disappointed. This app, once my go-to for cost-free uninterrupted viewing, has taken a nosedive. The abrupt removal disrupted my watching experience, and the absence of a feature to remember viewing progress is downright inconvenient. HITV’s management needs to seriously reconsider their decisions and address these issues for a more user-friendly platform. A one-star rating reflects my frustration and disappointment. Also fix the time so it can remember what episode and time you stopped on so I don’t have to take screen shots all the time ### 1/5 — Hate the new update. The old one is 100% better *2024-01-01* The old version was 100 times better. I really enjoyed using this app before the new update came out the app was 100% better. The issue with the new version is that the quality of the app really took a downfall, the color pallets used just don’t fit well the show’s subtitles are mixed up it’s glitchy/laggy I really do hope the app’s quality will get better this update was useless. The thing about the old version is that the only problem I ever had with it was the subtitles not matching the pace of the show other that that it used to be just about perfect. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2023-12-30* Each update has consecutively been worse, the first app was the best one. This one doesn’t save my watch history so I have to manually remember which episode i watched last, doesn’t contain any 10 second forward/backward key, even if I increase the playback speed, it automatically switches back to normal after a while, can’t set the ratio to fit the screen so the video feels like it’s zoomed out. How is it that the app is getting worse with each updates, all we got was more frequent ads and less features, doesn’t even make any sense Wishing that the developers can bring back the first app and continue updating that instead of making new apps for each update. ### 1/5 — please fix *2023-12-26* After I logged into my previous account from the other versions. I was not able to get it into any of my shows or save them. Also, anytime I try to watch a show and ad and would come on and I would not be able to exit the ad until restarting the app and it continue to not work ### 1/5 — My list disappeared *2023-12-26* And no forward or backward arrows while you are playing something ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-12-26* An ad always plays when I tap on a show or an episode, I don’t really mind that, but it doesn’t come go off. I waited for 30 minutes and the ad kept on going, I gave up and went onto on a quest to find a different app. I basically can’t even use the app for what it’s for. Please bring back the old version, it was way better than this low quality version. ### 1/5 — Subtitle, too much ads *2023-12-25* Please bring back the old version this new is not it and not up to the old one. You did a bad job on the new version you need to read all your reviews and see that this new version is very bad, subtitle is not matching, too much ads, some animes are not playing, please we want the old version we don’t want this new one please, read your review ### 1/5 — Subtitles don’t work *2023-12-25* The app is confusing to use on a tablet and the subtitles are all wrong. The previous app the subtitles were great. It’s like they went backwards ten years with this new version of app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Subtitle does not match the movie *2023-12-24* Please fix this ### 5/5 — Plz bring back the other version *2023-12-23* Plz bring back the other version this new version isn’t up to standards subtitles are not all there :( ### 4/5 — Update *2024-01-23* This app needs to be updated with a watch history and list tab. I usually save shows to watch later but with this app I can’t remember the names and lose them. ### 4/5 — Go back to the old version pls *2024-01-12* love this app but this version is not good I can’t find my favourite shows I have to look for it every time plus all the problems on the reviews please go back to the old version thank you .go back to the old version please. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2024-01-04* This is actually pretty good ngl there’s not that many ads and it lets you watch many k dramas movies anime I don’t know what update everyone’s talking abt cause I just got this yesterday and it’s very good ### 4/5 — The search engine is very poor *2024-01-03* You can’t search for a movie of your choice easily on this new version.. try to make an adjustment on it ### 4/5 — This is a great app..and it has been of great help too *2024-01-01* This is a wonderful and great app,but I prefer the former updates,please you guys should try and make it back like the former first updates tanks ### 4/5 — Please add a continue watching *2023-12-25* It’s not as bad as people make it seem, I do still like the old version but the new one is bearable. Something I would like in this version that was in the last was a ‘continue watching’, in this version when you finish watching something you don’t know where you left off or what episode you were on. ### 4/5 — Subtitles doesn’t match the screen play *2023-12-22* Please fix it ### 4/5 — Subtitles are a little iffy *2023-12-21* I’m watching a show and the subtitles keep playing the ones from episode two even though I’m episode 5. So that may be a problem but I hope it gets fixed soon. Also the way adds are played is interesting because I’m seeing two adds at the same time and I don’t think it is meant to do that. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
