SOOP 입니다. 아이패드 에어에서 전체화면 실행 불가 및 잦은 광고 노출 현상으로 이용에 큰 불편을 드려 진심으로 죄송합니다. 남겨주신 전체화면 오류와 광고 현상은 정확한 원인 파악을 위해 추가 확인이 필요합니다. 번거로우시겠지만 이용 중이신 기기의 상세 OS 버전과 증상을 기재하여 '소통센터 - 버그리포트'로 문의해 주시면 신속히 점검하도록 하겠습니다. 더욱 안정적인 시청 환경을 제공하기 위해 최선을 다하겠습니다. 감사합니다. ### 1/5 — 이런 등신같은 앱은 왜 만드는 거임? *2026-06-12* 라이브 돌릴 여력도 안 되면서 라이브 독점은 왜 사는 거임? 다른 앱은 다 잘 돌아가는데 매번 이 쓰레기 앱만 끊김 개선하려고 온갖 설정 다 만져봐도 끊기고 튕기고 난리임 진심 개노답 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-09, version 8.26.0* Hangs all the time. I just want to watch Kbo games, but soop wants to access my photos, camera, etc that aren’t required. Deleted the app ### 1/5 — 로그인 *2026-05-03* 앱을 접속하면 로그인 상태가 아니라고 하는데 내정보도 보이고 즐찾해둔 스머들 목록도 보이는데 로그아웃하려고 하면 로그인 상태가 아니라고 다시시도하라는데 언제 고쳐주실건가요? 며칠전부터 이러고있는데 ### 1/5 — 태블릿 *2026-05-02, version 8.24.1* 태블릿으로 절대 볼수없는 유일한 플랫폼 ### 4/5 — Wish more channels had subtitles *2026-05-01, version 8.24.1* I am enjoying the app, but a lot of channels still don’t have English subtitles. It is nice that the feature is available, but SOOP should encourage more of the Korean channels to turn on CC ### 1/5 — 앱 수준 *2026-04-29* 로그인 안돼있다 알림 띄우면서 정작 로그인 프로필은 떠있는데, 계정 관리 가보면 로그인을 안했다 하고, 로그아웃하려하면 에러나면서 로그아웃이 안됨. 영상 보려하면 로그인하라고 함. 진짜 어이가 없는 병신들 수준.. ### 1/5 — 쓰레기 *2026-04-27* 버그가 왜 이렇게 많아요 갑자기 방송 소리 안 들려서 지웠다 깔아야지 들리고 한날은 로그아웃됐다고 반복적으로 알림 창 뜨고 당장 라이브를 봐야하는데 1:1문의로 남기라는 말만 반복하고 진심 가지가지하는 어플 ### 1/5 — Insufficient app *2026-04-14* Awful app that wont let you watch youtube even ### 2/5 — Glitchy app, great content *2026-04-13, version 8.23.1* Love watching the kbo for free but the app needs to restart every time an ad break comes on, otherwise the ad wont play. ## Frequently asked questions about SOOP ### What is SOOP?
