### 1/5 — Stupid

*2016-07-21*

I have a KorTV subscription on the appleTV. I thought I'd be able to access the same content (particularly since this costs money). That is not possible though. 

An iPad app would make more sense.

### 1/5 — Missing channels

*2016-06-16*

Screen shot shows Baduk TV. That's a screen shot of the Apple TV version. The iPhone version doesn't have Baduk TV. Nice false advertising.

### 1/5 — Not same features as AppleTV Version

*2016-05-18*

No KBS Video on Demand or English subtitles.

Feel ripped off! Don't buy this - use the Apple TV version instead

### 1/5 — Does NOT WORK!!!

*2022-10-12*

The channels only work for a day then it says unable to connect. It’s been like this for months. Refund all customers. This shouldn’t even be approved to be on the App Store

### 1/5 — 😐

*2022-01-20, version 1.10*

when you open the app it just closes.

### 1/5 — App won’t open.

*2021-10-03, version 1.10*

Simple as that, installs but every time you open it, it closes again.

### 1/5 — Waste of time on iPhone 11 Pro

*2021-04-18*

Opens then closes period

### 1/5 — Korean app not working

*2021-03-17, version 1.10*

Same not working on iPhone 7plus also

### 1/5 — Same issue... app won’t open on my iPhone

*2021-01-13*

I can’t really review the app because it won’t work!!!
Can you please fix this?? Or refund my subscription that just renewed...

### 1/5 — Won’t even open

*2020-12-20, version 1.10*

The app installs but won’t even open on a 2020 SE running iOS 14.2.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2020-02-24*

They make you watch lots of commercials and they don’t even play. Not reliable app at all. Junk!!

### 1/5 — Be warned...

*2018-01-25*

App no longer works. Please remove from store!!!

### 1/5 — Zero star!!

*2017-12-25, version 1.10*

I have been a subscriber of your service for quite a long time. Recently, I’m getting very annoyed and frustrated because of the errors I get with certain Korean drama episodes. I have to skip 4 episodes sometimes. Also your ads are very annoying too. I actually pay for your service and why do you put ads for paid users? Netflix doesn’t have any ads!!! 
FIX YOUR SERVICE!! Or I will stop my subscription.

### 5/5 — Excellent App for Korean Television

One time fee, works great with my iPhone 5s, lots of channels, awesome entertainment!

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-12-28, version 1.10*

It wasn't working for one day but now it's ok.

### 5/5 — Great for the one time paying  price!!

*2014-12-02*

There are many apps providing korean media service but this one is the best one among I had experience with... Surprisingly No buffering !!!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work for iPhone 8

*2019-10-16, version 1.10*

The app glitches after trying to launch the programme and I can’t use it. Please fix.

### 2/5 — Lip sync lets it down

*2016-02-07, version 1.10*

A good app which does well to bring Korean tv to you abroad but lip sync is out on all channels making watching very annoying after a while. Using iPhone 6.

Please fix the lip sync!
