### 5/5 — Pointless duplication of subtitles on the video that cover part of the picture

*2026-08-26*

Pointless duplication of subtitles on the video that cover part of the picture

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting! Just fixed (coming in 1.2.14), that was long overdue.

### 3/5 — Video overlaps Dynamic Island and status bar in portrait mode

*2026-06-22*

In portrait orientation, the video is positioned at the very top of the screen. As a result, the Dynamic Island covers part of the video, and the status bar elements (time, battery, Wi-Fi, cellular icons) overlap the top corners of the video.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting! Just fixed (coming in 1.2.14), that was long overdue.

### 3/5 — Video overlaps Dynamic Island and status bar in portrait mode

*2026-05-20*

In portrait orientation, the video is positioned at the very top of the screen. As a result, the Dynamic Island covers part of the video, and the status bar elements (time, battery, Wi-Fi, cellular icons) overlap the top corners of the video.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting! Just fixed (coming in 1.2.14), that was long overdue.

### 3/5 — English only links work

*2026-04-13*

I tried it on a few videos and it did work, but only on the ones in English.  I wanted to use this to learn Greek but it appears to only work with videos strictly in English. I would not pay a subscription for English but I DEFINITELY would pay one for videos in Greek (I am trying to learn Greek!)

### 5/5 — Text selection is not correct

*2026-01-22*

Every time I want select one word, it selects 2-3 words

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting! Just fixed (coming in 1.2.14), that was long overdue.

### 3/5 — iOS Shortcut integration plan?

*2025-10-29, version 1.2.14*

Superb app. Any integration to the Apple automation system via shortcut ?

### 4/5 — Text selection is not correct

*2025-09-21*

Every time I want select one word, it selects 2-3 words

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting! Just fixed (coming in 1.2.14), that was long overdue.

### 5/5 — iOS 26 betas broke the app—waiting for update

*2025-09-09, version 1.2.12*

Hope the devs fix it! An app I can’t live without!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-08-10, version 1.2.12*

Excellent combiné à ChatGPT , permet de couvrir beaucoup plus de contenu rapidement

### 1/5 — Needs further development

*2025-06-24*

It only allows you to upload YouTube videos you can’t upload videos from your own phone, make it an option that you can upload videos from your phone!!

**Developer response:** This is not the intended use-case, but an interesting idea, thank you.
