### 2/5 — It’s just the website!

*2023-01-02, version 1.0.0*

I downloaded this on iPad. It’s just the website, probably the mobile version. On an iPhone, it probably looks fine, but it’s this vertical strip on iPad. I can get the same thing on the KBS website. It’s nothing special. In fact, there is less than I can see on the website. Some videos don’t show up.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2021-12-15, version 1.0.0*

Does not work you can’t even watch your favorite shows I wanted to watch mr house husband 😣

### 1/5 — A little confused

*2020-10-12, version 1.0.0*

So I just downloaded this app because I would like to watch the show mr house husband . I found it on your app but there isn’t an option to play the series. Does this app not play tv shows or am I in the wrong region. Please explain I’m London Ontario Canada

### 5/5 — i need help using this app.

*2020-06-30, version 1.0.0*

i’m trying to follow and read the reviews but i just don’t get it. can someone please help me? thanks.

### 1/5 — Uninstall

*2020-01-12, version 1.0.0*

Everything is “unavailable in your country“, so there’s nothing to watch except short clips. Might as well watch their YouTube channel. Don’t have to install extra then.

### 2/5 — You need a real app not a webview embedded..

*2019-12-23, version 1.0.0*

Come on KBS.. seriously? A webview embedded is your ios app? It’s slow and laggy, causing horrible user experience

### 4/5 — Love it, very useful

*2019-12-21, version 1.0.0*

Can you please add the ability to play this app on Apple TV please? Thanks

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2019-08-01, version 1.0.0*

Tried looking up what I wanted to watch but ads kept popping up and I couldn’t x them out, it just stayed to one page. Never got to watch anything.

### 1/5 — Wow, really?

*2019-05-09, version 1.0.0*

I can’t even watch anything. Every time I try to look something up a google ad pops up that covers the whole screen. It’s basically useless.

### 5/5 — Help

*2018-12-24*

Hi I’m actually giving 5 stars because I know that it’s a good app , but my concern is that I installed the app on my iPhone 6+ but I’m having problems because it doesn’t open , it opened one time and now it doesn’t , every time I click for the app it shows the logo and then the screen is just white , please help , thank you
