### 3/5 — 결제취소

*2026-08-08*

### 3/5 — It’s okay but could be much better

*2026-05-10*

There are two things what would have made me give it five stars:

1. Voiceover should play before the native speech, not overtop it. It would be very useful if I could hear each sentence in English before Arabic, pausing after each block/sentence. Right now voiceover is kind of useless because it plays over the video. 

2. YouTube should be able to play audio in background.  It’s very frustrating that I can’t listen to a video with voiceover unless the app is in the foreground.

### 4/5 — Great! But a small problem..

*2026-05-10*

When trying to scroll on YouTube shorts, it prompts you to watch the video full screen, ruining the entire video. Please make it able to scroll easily without the instant pop up.

### 4/5 — Indian subtitles improvement for future updates

*2026-02-11*

I downloaded this app specifically to watch Indian series, and I really appreciate having access to them! It's fantastic for that.

However, I'd like to suggest some improvements for future updates regarding subtitles. When I'm watching Indian shows, the current Hindi subtitles don't help me understand the dialogue, which means I often miss parts of the story. It would be incredibly helpful to have more English subtitle options available and an improvement for indian subtitles. Additionally, it would be great if the subtitles could clearly differentiate between when music is playing and when characters are speaking. Addressing these points would significantly enhance the viewing experience for Indian content. Thank you for considering my opinion.

### 2/5 — Добавьте пожалуйста в программу «отключение озвучки»

*2026-02-08*

Две звезды! Потому что нет возможности отключить эту озвучку, а хотелось просто читать субтитры на русском с оригинальными голосами актеров

### 4/5 — excellent app

*2025-07-14*

I really love this app.
The only thing I would like to see improved is the subtitle menu (play, copy text, bookmark) it’s sometimes unresponsive.
It would also be great if tapping on a subtitle could start playback from that point.

*2026-03-23*

### 1/5 — Мошенники

*2026-03-09*

Оплатил подписку деньги сняли, а в итоге кинули.👎👎👎 будь осторожны, МОШЕННИКИ!

### 1/5 — Мои эмоции не описать словами

*2026-02-17*

Я хотела спокойно перевести видео и посмотреть его,но почему то сайт просто пишет на Английском «нам надо убедиться что вы не бот,зарегистрируйтесь в приложении» я подумала ладно в этом нет нечего такого,потом я так и не смогла найти где надо регестрироваться ведь кнопки не было никакой и само окно никуда не перекидывало.
Как я поняла в этом предложении без подписки делать нечего.

### 1/5 — App is good but asking for money to watch the video on the app

### 1/5 — Ruim

*2025-12-27*

Você precisa assistir vários anúncios para conseguir assistir a um vídeo. Eles colocam não só um anúncio, mas 2 ou 3 anúncios por partes. Péssimo. Só estou dando uma estrela para poder postar isso.

*2024-12-03*

Cette application est tout simplement magnifique et incroyable. Elle traduit parfaitement n’importe qu’elle vidéo en français tout en intégrant le scriptage de la langue choisie. Un véritable bijou pour apprendre une langue. Merci aux développeur !

### 5/5 — Added kurdish sorani language

*2024-07-13*

Its the best but iam kurdish and if added kurdish sorani language it be bester and kurdish people support you

### 5/5 — Does What I Wanted It To

*2024-06-19, version 3.5.0*

Runs fine for me and translates pretty decently. It definitely does some languages way better than others - translating from Korean was pretty nonsensical, while the German was actually near perfect - but that's the norm for these kinds of apps. And as someone who listens to YouTube in the background way more than I watch it, the voiceover feature is a godsend. Still not sure I'd pay for it all the time personally, but as a one-time purchase to binge some non-English videos for a month, this was totally worth it.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-07-19*

Honestly great app, i’m learning spanish and watching some Spanish youtubers to help mr out. Recently Youtube’s auto translate feature had stopped working for mr and this app really helped 👍👍

### 5/5 — Нету русского языка

*2023-06-17*

Нету
