### 2/5 — Huh

*2025-05-22, version 1.15.1*

It was good at first but know I can’t watch anything it tells me to sign in when I’m already signed in when I try to click on a video on YouTube and I can’t sign in on there

### 2/5 — Change back

*2022-12-08, version 1.14.0*

Used to use this when it was by the name of Rabbit before. Was a PERFECT site to watch with others. After the change its never been the same. Really sad to lose a
Good app like rabbit. Please bring that quality back!

### 1/5 — not being able.

*2022-07-24, version 1.12.0*

not being abble to attach a file, to use gifs you gotta have premium!? 

not good audio video is 480p youtube is not fully 
usable.

it dies not have browser.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-06-25, version 1.11.0*

Don’t use this app very much but when I do it’s crap. When I type a message and send it the chat bar disappears so if I want to send another message I have to back out and go back into the party. Now that they’ve added ads I have to watch an ad every time I leave and go back in

### 3/5 — Can’t see chat in landscape mode on iPad.

*2022-06-24, version 1.11.0*

Would be 5 stars but I want to be able to have chat open while I’m in landscape mode on my iPad. All attached iPad keyboards require landscape. We should be able to open chat to the right of the video if we want.

### 1/5 — Not very mobile friendly

*2022-06-14, version 1.11.0*

I wish it was more mobile friendly where you could make your own groups and stream stuff on mobile

### 3/5 — Service is great on Chrome, needs work on all other formats

*2022-05-30, version 1.10.1*

I use this service several times a month. On Google chrome from a computer, it works great, but it has not been streaming from mobile devices and now the feature that allows you to login via Google or Facebook is completely absent from the iOS app which has made me unable to logon from my phone. I stopped using the desktop app because you cannot stream from other apps or the internet from it. You’d think with charging users to stream that they could make the necessary updates for it to work regardless of which device you’re on and whether or not you use the app.

### 1/5 — Shady

*2022-04-26, version 1.8.4*

This service has no method by which to cancel your subscription in the app. You have to log onto a desktop computer to do it. Everybody knows that’s a tactic to get more money out of lazy and/or apathetic people (me). For that reason alone, 1 star. Do better.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2022-04-17, version 1.8.4*

This app worked okay for years, but now it’s suddenly crashing over and over again for me. This app is really painful to use, to be brutally honest.

### 1/5 — Okay

*2022-04-16, version 1.8.4*

It’s good for watching shows but u can’t really hear because it’s very eccoy

### 1/5 — Just bad

*2022-04-16, version 1.8.4*

It was hard to learn how to use the app. And very ecou. It would only hook up to YouTube.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-04-06, version 1.8.4*

Don’t even waste your time downloading this. It’s terrible and it doesn’t even work. I spent 20 minutes trying to login. It didn’t even work. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2022-02-03, version 1.8.4*

I didn’t get a Vera
vacation code sent to me at all :(

### 1/5 — Premium doesn't matter

*2021-12-04, version 1.8.4*

The problem with this is that they only have Tubi for you to watch movies thru. All the TOP popular movies with famous actors will NOT play. The only movies that will play are the OLD OLD movies or "B" rated ones nobody has heard of. The list of movies isnt kept up with and refreshed with new content. They act like they offer YouTube as an option as well, but its not movies. You can share your tab on screen to use your own service like Netflix for example, however, its BLURRY... even at the highest quality setting you are provided with (Premium) options. It needs attention. Badly. Idk what they are doing with the peoples Premium monthly/yearly money...but its not used on upkeep thats for sure! Even the in chat emojis you can unlock to use seem outdated. So sad, this has great potential. Wish someone who CARED would buy out the company.

### 1/5 — crashed

*2021-09-25, version 1.8.4*

downloaded and couldnt use because app kept crashing. wack

### 2/5 — Crashes Frequently

*2021-08-12, version 1.8.4*

Could be excellent but among other things it crashes way too often. Full screen mode would be nice too.

### 1/5 — disappointed

*2021-06-22, version 1.8.4*

It was good until you guys started charging to kast thing, money eaters

### 2/5 — Really dissapointing

*2021-06-10, version 1.8.4*

What’s the point of watching in a group when there’s no group chat, either text or voice? A shared screen alone isn’t particularly different from other services out there. Like zoom. Only clunkier. And zoom’s group chat actually works.

### 1/5 — bad, very bad.

*2025-01-03, version 1.15.1*

it took me like 5 years to make an account so thats VERY sucky. next, the verification code went to my junk mail so whats that about. but when i finally got to the home screen... why did it look like that. like dry much? anyways, when i tried to find the party my friend sent me i OBVIOUSLY looked in the chat box. but to my surprise, it was in the notification box? hello? but once we finally started the movie... i couldn't hear it. i could hear everything else on my ipad but not the actual movie. so this app could use a LOT of redesigning and updating. k byeeee

### 1/5 — It just doesn't work

*2024-12-31, version 1.15.1*

I took the time to install this app and create an account, but when I click the watch party link it just opens the app to a static page. The website also refuses to function in Firefox.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-10-14, version 1.15.1*

GIVES ME ADS EVERYTIME J CLICK ONTO SOMEONES PARTY CALL THING. THIS APP SHCKS. DO NOT GET IT DOESNT WORK. PLUS U NEED PREMIUM TO EVEN USE EMOJIS??? GET OUTTA HEREEE U STINKY BAJINA APP.

### 1/5 — I would rate lower if I could…

*2024-07-03, version 1.15.1*

Me and my partner were trying to stream something and the streaming was buggy and constantly pausing itself meanwhile if I tried to unmute nothing would happen. I also accidentally pressed the camera and it would refuse to turn off. Not a good app

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-07-28, version 1.15.1*

Garbage don’t waste your time and maybe even be a bit generous and report the app so it get remove from the App Store a fking waste of space

### 1/5 — Was great now not so much

*2022-11-03, version 1.14.0*

I was an original ambassador for this before it changed names etc. it was awesome in the beginning and free. But somebody got greedy as usual and started taking features away to make them paid. And now what you have is watch they’re shorts or stuff on YouTube.  Now why would i pay to add more features that are free on discord, twitch or even FaceTime and they have way more options to stream from. IMO there is just no place for this anymore. I understand everyone needs to make money but in this case they completely went about it the wrong way and alienated themselves to the point that competition that wasn’t even know could step in get a foothold and surpass them. Although I give it to them they gotta be fighting I didn’t know they still existed until I got a email today saying to check them out.

### 1/5 — Rip rabbit

*2022-10-24, version 1.13.0*

Kast completely ruined it all.

### 1/5 — GLITCHY

*2022-09-10, version 1.13.0*

A study in frustration with little to commend it.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2022-10-09, version 1.13.0*

I love ♥️ Kast! The Watch parties are so rad! See you at one of my parties!

### 5/5 — The best app ever

*2021-08-04, version 1.8.4*

Me and my friend was like ugh we want to watch something to without be by everyone so i found this so it is GREAT! Love this app and people that say it’s bad you just don’t know how to work it or something to wrong with you phone this app is great:)

### 5/5 — It’s a great app you gotta have a decent computer tho

*2020-09-25, version 1.8.0*

This app is actually kinda nice if u have a decent pc but I still miss the rabbit cloud severs from the previous app as a proud user I ask that u please bring back the key features of rabbit 
Edit: yess they have started to bring back some nice features but please optimize your app for notch displays

### 5/5 — Audio doesn’t work well

*2020-08-30, version 1.7.0*

There's no volume control, so I can't hear anything above a whisper. This makes it even more unenjoyable when I'm trying to voice chat on discord.

### 5/5 — Kast has the best potential!

*2020-07-25*

I am a big user of synced media, and there are many options on desktop & web, but only one decent option on mobile. That one option is mobile only and can not connect to web. But Kast is changing that; their team releases new features every month on top of their already easy-to-use and optimized platform. Thank you for building out an expensive service and making it free for users to use

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-07-18, version 1.6.0*

Use this to watch movies, it’s great!

### 5/5 — I guess its gonna be great!

*2020-05-17, version 1.5.2*

I haven’t used it yet but it sounds great!

### 5/5 — Literally Not As Bad As It Seems

*2020-04-30, version 1.5.1*

I get that rabb.it was what people were used to, but Kast is also as good. People who are clinging to the past are too salty to actually realize how good the app is. I can live stream easily, have parties, chat, and the quality of the stream is great. A little laggy but it is better than other streaming sources. What’s amazing is that it is all free. Can you believe that!? I recommend this app and don’t listen to the salty people that are still clinging unto rabb.it. 5 STARS!!!

### 5/5 — Faith

*2020-04-28, version 1.5.1*

I have so much faith for this app! It still needs to let us kast our screens from our phones so im sticking around. This is the best thing since Rabbit.

### 5/5 — worked for super m 😍

*2020-04-26, version 1.5.1*
