### 1/5 — terrible

*2022-01-04, version 2.21.0*

horrible

### 1/5 — It has never worked. How do I unsubscribe?

*2021-07-30, version 2.21.0*

This app has never worked. I am very disappointed. I want to unsubscribe.

### 1/5 — can’t skip ads

*2021-03-15, version 2.20*

Comes only with the ability to pause and play... skipping ads like advertised is the only reason I installed the app

### 1/5 — Disappointing🙁

*2020-02-03, version 2.10*

It doesn’t work for safari. It’s an apple app but the extension is google chrome and there’s a monthly subscription to use. I’m good luv, enjoy.✌🏾

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time!

*2019-12-14, version 2.00*

App crashed every time I touched it. Really. The last crash was when I clicked on subscription, after finally successfully adding code after three crashed attempts. 
Like anybody would actually PAY for this?

### 1/5 — Crash crash crash

*2019-12-10, version 2.00*

All this application does is crash after playing 1 or 2 videos then the app crashes trying to play anything. Would suggest to steer clear of this app.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-05-24, version 1.95*

Doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time / money.

### 1/5 — Don’t download.

*2019-03-22, version 1.95*

This app is a rip off and does not work although it looks convincing. You’re better off looking elsewhere as this app crashed my chrome book and wouldn’t let me exit out of the fake video it tried to play. Absolutely BS.
