### 1/5 — Play Bug Still Not Fixed

*2025-11-05*

It still says there is a playback error and now it is both watching and listening, this app does not work.

**Developer response:** Please try uninstalling then reinstalling again (there is a new version 2025.11.19 but you're using 2025.10.24). If it's still not working for you, please use my new app,  VideoTube, with full features: 🚫 Ad-free playback, 🎵 Background play (keep playing when the screen is off), 🪟 Floating player (watch while using other apps), ⏰ Sleep timer, ⚡ Speed control, 🔁 Loop one video, 🧩 Show or hide Shorts and comments, 🌙 Dark or light theme

再生されません。

### 2/5 — Won’t load videos

*2025-11-19*

When I try to watch videos it says “error can’t load try again” please fix

**Developer response:** It has been fix in version 2025.11.24 please update

### 2/5 — Restart

*2025-10-22*

It keep telling me to restart. After i restart, it just keeps saying that. I’ve redownloaded it and it still won’t work.

**Developer response:** Please try uninstalling then reinstalling again (there is a new version 2025.11.19).

### 2/5 — Nie działa

*2024-11-04, version 2024.10.19*

Aplikacja nie działa, zacina się. Dobrze zrobiona wersja na Androida, ale nie na iOS. Szkoda

### 3/5 — Good, but jank + SHUFFLE BUTTON PLEASE!

*2026-06-18*

I enjoy the fact this is essentially a Musi alternative, but it has its flaws. There’s no shuffle button, the songs in a specified playlist don’t play at all, and there are frequent crashes without reason. Not to mention, ads are annoying, some even being literal MINUTES long and looping over and over again (Screw you, Kalshi) and even automatically PLAY when you close the app. The 12 hour adless feature is a plus, but please limit the length of some of these ads, and maybe even give a timer on when an ad will appear like how Musi does it. Sometimes when I play a song on my playlist, I expect to listen to it, not watch it. By this, I mean when you click on a video on the app, there are two options. Listen or watch. For some reason, it unironically just automatically watches the video which is extremely inconvenient. 
TLDR: The app isn’t too bad, GREAT alternative for Musi. However, it definitely needs more tweaks to it.

### 3/5 — It was good but lately

*2025-08-21*

For the past 2 days it’s been off, stuck on the “getting player ready” with the spinner loading but never actually loading. Can this be fixed?! Until then it’s gonna remain at 3 stars…

**Developer response:** Are you using iPhone or iPad

### 5/5 — There is a problem

*2025-10-24*

When playing the video with audio only, an error appears, then it asks to wait and then tells me to try again later. I hope to solve the problem. Thx 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Does not work.

*2025-10-24*

It’s a very good app for the 2 seconds that it worked. It keeps telling me to wait or reinstall or quick fix. I’ve tried it all. It does not work still.

**Developer response:** Please try uninstalling then reinstalling again (there is a new version 2025.11.19 but you're using 2025.10.23).

### 5/5 — It’s missing one thing

*2025-09-05*

Edit* redownloading the app fixed the previous issue. Although 1 more thing i would love to have is some way to have another tab or something to organize a playlist or what have you…

**Developer response:** Are you using iPhone or iPad
