### 4/5 — Works great, some good shows

*2026-08-21, version 8.7.0*

App works fine, there are some good shows on there, depending on you’re into I guess. 
My only complaint is that clicking on the show/movie from the menu/feed starts the show, instead of giving you the trailer and then choosing your episode like other streaming apps do.

### 2/5 — ALOT OF ADDS

*2026-08-20, version 8.7.0*

It has alot of adds please fix this the app is so good TOO MANY ADDS

### 3/5 — Playback not working

*2026-08-18, version 8.7.0*

It keeps resetting my shows to episode one and I have to manually go in and skip all the way to where I actually was!

### 3/5 — Flaws

*2026-08-17, version 8.7.0*

This app would be perfect if they got rid of the skip-able ads. If  you already pay a subscription you should not still have to deal with ads. Also the auto start of the pop up advertised shows is really annoying. I should be able to tailor my experience based on things I actually want to watch.

### 3/5 — Pay for a subscription outside of China?

*2026-08-14, version 8.7.0*

Is there a way to pay for vip premium without going through to a Chinese app. Can we not pay via apple?

### 2/5 — Is ok not more

*2026-08-14, version 8.7.0*

German translations—like the ones on FlickReels—would be great; then I’d subscribe. It would also be good if you offered an actor search feature.

### 4/5 — İQIYI

*2026-08-13, version 8.7.0*

It is good but in the shorts there are no age rating.

### 3/5 — Demasiadas series de disfraz con unos argumentos archimanidos y series de contenido homoxesual.

*2026-08-13, version 8.7.0*

Muy pocas series de temas de esta época

### 1/5 — This is too much

*2026-08-12, version 8.7.0*

You give 1 free month after surveying. Before i clicked subscribe i looked at it again and again that it is free on “us” but still charged me 14.99$

### 2/5 — 個人的問題

*2026-08-11, version 8.7.0*

影片看到正精彩的時候，一直出現廣告真的會讓人很暴躁，而且一個影片能出十幾個廣告。

### 1/5 — Selalu keluar saat nonton di tv

*2026-08-09, version 8.7.0*

Saya setiap nonton sering keluar filmnya di tv, padahal paket premium tertinggi tapi gak bisa nonton. Aplikasi TV nya benar benar Buruk

### 1/5 — too much ads

*2026-08-08, version 8.7.0*

leave a review just because the ads is quite a lot and happens far to frequently.

### 4/5 — Please remove some ads

*2026-08-08, version 8.7.0*

I love this app with my full heart but holy is there 500 million billion quadrillion trillion + ads for example I could be watching a sad part of a c drama (i love c dramas) and then some ad will pop up then 10 mins later another ads pop up and also to first get to what ever Youre watching you have to watch 6-9 ads and then when random ads pop up you have to watch 3-6 (I think 6 could be 5 though) to start watching it again and it’s a bit laggy but the app is great! Also please make only BTS and skip ads ect vip because I was watching speed and love then now i can’t watch it anymore because episode 6 is vip and I really love speed and love and im thinking about deleting the app because I really only downloaded it for speed and love

### 1/5 — scamming & deceitful

*2026-08-08, version 8.7.0*

this application interface needs to be overhauled. first off, for premium users, it is unacceptable that any kind of advertisement be on display anywhere [this includes standard users]. there is no reason that an ad should populate when a show is paused and every single time? yet, i am now experiencing a mcdonalds ad every time i start a show. there have been countless times that i have personally been redirected to another show or other platform whilst watching something else because my fingers hit the advertisement by accident. i have to constantly delete shows from my history which i believe is by design.

### 1/5 — Mengecewakan

*2026-08-23, version 8.7.0*

Vip malah episode tidak update

### 1/5 — Weird app

*2026-08-21, version 8.7.0*

I subscribed for 3 months and There’s still one month left but they already asked me to pay again in the 2nd month

### 1/5 — null deutsche Untertitel

*2026-08-19, version 8.7.0*

Ich würde sofort abonnieren - leider keine deutschen Untertitel- es sind viel da auch Exoten aber nicht deutsch heutzutage mit KI komisch- nun dann kein Geschäft mit mir

### 1/5 — Give me my refund

*2026-08-18, version 8.7.0*

I didnt sign up for updating my subscription. And they just took my money without even give me any notifications before i have to pay

### 1/5 — Final episodes of some dramas blocked even if you are a paying subscriber

*2026-08-16, version 8.7.0*

So, I paid for VIP access for a year. And they still serve up ads. That’s annoying, but I put up with it.  Now I find that they lock the last 4 episodes of a drama I was watching. Definitely not renewing iQIYI when my subscription expires. There are way better streaming services out there.

### 1/5 — So viele Serien aber nicht auf Deutsch

*2026-08-16, version 8.7.0*

So traurig. Ich hätte gerne die Serien geschaut. Warum gibt es keine deutsche Übersetzung?

### 1/5 — Samsung TV app crashes when starting/switching episodes at 4K/1080p; switching playback quality to 7

*2026-08-14, version 8.7.0*

Samsung TV app crashes when playing in 4K/1080p. After finishing an episode and selecting the next one, it starts loading and then crashes back to the iQIYI home screen or completely exits to the Samsung TV menu. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times with no improvement.

I finally discovered that reducing the playback resolution to 720p fixes the issue completely. Episodes load normally and I can move to the next episode without the app crashing. Please investigate the 4K/1080p playback issue on Samsung TVs.

### 1/5 — Bad review

*2026-08-13, version 8.7.0*

One star, just to watch three episodes that were 10 minutes long. I had to go through 21 commercials and to stop those commercials I have to get VIP they didn’t really have a lot of K dramas and I don’t know why this has a 4.8 rating when you have to pay for no commercials I should not be having 6 commercials to watch a one minute long episode on the 10 minute long videos it cuts halfway for three ad just to continue for me to watch another six commercials

### 1/5 — Let met block LGTB Content or any 18+ content

*2026-08-12, version 8.7.0*

I’m watching a wholesome drama with my family, my family is not on this app to watch gay content. If I’m paying a subscription and I can’t block the type of content that i don’t want to see or that is 18+ then I shouldn’t even be paying this subscription. 
I’m paying this service because I can’t watch the drama that I’m watching with family in any other platform, do I really need to be seeing content that i will never want to see? Really? 

It’s annoying, I really don’t give a damn about sexual content, that’s why i would love to block that type of content. 

If I can’t block this type of content I’m just not going to be paying for this subscription until it expires and that’s it, too bad. 

Thank you anyways.

### 1/5 — Mau cancel subscription tapi harus lewat google play?

*2026-08-12, version 8.7.0*

Padahal gw pakenya iOS, di cancel gak bisa saldo gw di tarik mulu. Di persulit semua buat cancel langganan

*2026-08-14, version 8.7.0*

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-07, version 8.7.0*

I only downloaded this app to watch one show that I had to pay for but it was so worth it. The controls are really cool as well and I wish all streaming apps had the same controls. A also love how if you take a screenshot or screen recording it isn’t a black screen in your camera roll.
