### 1/5 — bad so bad

*2015-11-10*

its worst app that i have ever seen

### 1/5 — Download Error

*2015-10-31*

The app just keeps saying "download error" when I select my chosen subtitles. I can download subs for another film but then they're displayed black on white which would be unusable in a cinema. The interface looks like it was thrown together in a couple of minutes. There's a kernel of a good idea here but it's just not been well executed.

### 1/5 — Lacks the many languages on the site

*2015-01-02*

Why not include additional languages?

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2014-11-13*

Please don't bother buying this app, it's a waste of time and money. It's like the worst ever!!!

### 1/5 — Pretty terrible

*2014-11-11*

This app is a real disappointment. Because I am deaf I rely on open source subtitles to be able to understand visual media and after my previous subtitle app stopped working I bought this one, it is barely functional, the text is out of sync with the sound (not necessarily the fault of the app, but with the original open subtitles file, of course) but there is NO way to easily pause, rewind or otherwise adjust the location of the subtitle track. Definitely not worth the cost. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — No good

*2012-09-05*

A great selection of subs, but dealing with this app is just annoying. You'd have to start film and app at exactly the same time to have it fit. No possibility, to skip to a certain scene. I was so busy with handling the subs, I barely saw something of the movie

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-06-19*

Terrible app don’t bother down loading

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-04-16*

It did not work at all in my phone. When I search for a movie, it just spat out a picture. There was nothing to even click on, nothing to download. Just a picture and text that you could not interact with.

### 1/5 — Не соответствует скриншотам

*2021-01-05*

Не найти субтитры на финском к сериалу «Друзья», хотя все они есть на сайте opensubtitles !  Нашла одну серию по поиску, но это вообще не сериал друзья! Открываю файл, слушаю и нет кнопок назад или каких либо других! Выйти можно только полностью свернув приложение. Фильтра по языку нет. Фильтр по сериалу: длинный список с разными языками, которые мне не нужны! Просто бессмыслица (((((

### 1/5 — No Chinese, bad, can only read, can not export, bad, I can not see this app with what to charge.

*2020-08-06*

No Chinese, bad, can only read, can not export, bad, I can not see this app with what to charge.

### 1/5 — See previous review

*2019-04-17*

No update in 2 yrs. so no hope of fixing. Wish I knew how to refund.

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2018-12-29*

This app loads and plays subtitles from a database. The running time is shown against a slider that can be altered during playback.

The slider is small and doesn’t allow for fine tuning. The timer doesn’t run in real time and the subtitles speed through much faster than the film, moving often 3-5 seconds each second.

There is no fine tuning to match the subtitles with the speech. There is no +/- to fine tune the running speed. 

The subtitle text is small and there is no option to use the app in landscape mode. The ‘read out’ function works but won’t switch off. 

This app should not be in the App Store.

### 1/5 — Récession

*2017-06-11*

Complètement nul, c'est app ne marche pas

### 1/5 — Rubbish!!!!

*2017-04-23*

It does not even have subtitles!!

### 1/5 — A piece of junk

*2016-04-22*

It doesn't display the subtitles. The page freezes a lot. Not even worth a dollar!

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2016-02-02*

Aplicativo não troca a legenda do filme escolhido. Não Abre a legenda pesquisada. Dinheiro jogado fora.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2015-12-16*

English is not my first language, but I don't like disturbing my friends when watching a movie together by asking for subtitles, this app let's me follow the script from my phone discreetly

### 3/5 — Требует улучшений

*2015-12-11*

Приложение часто зависает, исправьте пжл!
