### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-30, version 3.22*

Good channels and hosts (that sometimes drop off the app), good interface. Would love it if they allowed skipping /rewinding with headphone buttons instead of just the screen. Monthly price wasn’t worth it for me though, I did the $300 one time purchase

### 5/5 — For the devs

*2026-08-27, version 3.22*

I never get app freezes or crashes, which is all you can ask for these days

### 5/5 — Nebula is worth it.

*2026-08-17, version 3.22*

Nebula is a solid bargain in terms of content quality per money you pay. Other streaming services cost more and give you less.   Tired of ads in the middle of your YouTube videos? Don’t pay them. Get Nebula.

### 4/5 — iOS App icon background

*2026-08-13, version 3.22*

Can you please make it compatible with the latest glass icon architecture. Thanks.

### 4/5 — Great overall

*2026-08-08, version 3.22*

Most features work great and content is amazing. I have had some trouble with downloading

### 5/5 — The Best There Is

*2026-07-31, version 3.22*

I love Nebula. The content is perfect, the UI is initiative, and the price is great! I would highly recommend!

### 4/5 — Request - Autoplay While Locked in CarPlay

*2026-07-27, version 3.22*

Really glad that Autoplay was added as a feature recently! One request I would have is to allow Autoplay to function while my iPhone is locked and in CarPlay. This would allow me to continue listening to downloaded videos while driving without having to stop to unlock my phone and open the app.

### 4/5 — Sleep timer PLEASE

*2026-07-26, version 3.21*

App functions great and has a great UI. If they add a sleep timer it will be literally perfect. PLEASE ADD A SLEEP TIMER.

### 4/5 — Pretty great

*2026-07-24, version 3.21*

It’s a great service, and the app works pretty well, it’s not bleeding edge or mind blowing but it works and that’s all you really need. I do think the video player is a little sluggish feeling to interact with but it’s not the end of the world. Overall, pretty good!

### 5/5 — iOS icon compatibility

*2026-07-23, version 3.21*

Kindly can you update the apps icon so it's compatible with the latest liquid glass iOS operating system so that the app icon fits in theme wise with the rest of the icons. Thank you!
