### 3/5 — Subtitles Problem!

*2025-04-26, version 3.1*

Once I put the screen in full screen mode, the subtitles are not appearing. Please help me solve this issue.

### 4/5 — Fonctionnelle à nouveau

*2025-03-12, version 3.0*

Application qui fonctionne actuellement . 
Jolie interface fluide, mais j'ai perdu l'accès premium que j'avais vu que le développeur à mis un achat intégré.
Je ne peut plus essayer les fonctionnalités.
le développeur à réparer l'application avec une mise à jour.
Développeur très réactif

### 1/5 — Оно вообще работает?!

*2025-01-02, version 2.0*

Постоянно тормозит даже прокрутка. Не могу загрузить видео для просмотра, пишет : войдите в аккаунт, чтобы доказать, что не бот. А куда там входить, как это в приложении сделать- непонятно. Жаль, впервые пишу такой отзыв

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2024-12-06, version 2.0*

Not the solution as announced.

### 4/5 — No dark mode

*2024-11-08*

Would appreciate to have dark more.

### 4/5 — Не работает семейная подписка

*2024-11-04, version 2.0*

Заявлено, что есть семейный доступ, но на деле предлагает купить.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2024-10-30, version 2.0*

A paid app with a very mediocre UI.

### 1/5 — Es ist ein Fake YouTube

*2024-10-30, version 2.0*

Fingerweg.
