Overall sentiment: positive **Pros** - 🚀 Long awaited app - 👍 Overall solid performance - 👍 Excellent video player - 👍 Great initial app - 👍 Responsive and built-in player **Cons** - 🐛 Library does not show full library - 🐛 Poor translation quality for Arabic users - 🐛 Subtitle text too small **Commonly reported bugs** - Library does not show full library - Poor translation quality for Arabic users **Most requested features** - PIP mode - Ability to AirPlay or Chromecast - Enlarge subtitle text ## Newest reviews (18 of 95) ### 3/5 — Horrible ui, lacking functionality *2025-12-30, version 1.3.4* The ui of this product overall is just bad but the lite versions on all devices lacks basic features that exist in the desktop clients, features like turning off spoilers or subtitles by default or even having a grid instead one giant line of thumbnails to sort through every time. Lite version also is very slow to load thumbnails on some devices, it definitely is not my internet that is the problem so it must be bad optimisation for the apps. I hope to god they hire a ui designer because what a god damn mess since years already. I hoped lessons would be learned by now with this new version being pushed but it is still very bad. ### 4/5 — Missing PiP *2025-12-23, version 1.3.2* Great app all around but definitely needs PiP. ### 4/5 — Great app, just needs some QOL. *2025-12-17* Can be a chore to navigate. Very annoying trying to swap episode when you use an external player. Clicking on a title just brings up the last episode watched, backing out brings me back to home screen. Have to hold press and click details on a title to get to the next episode if you use an external player, which I do because no native PiP. ### 3/5 — Needs advanced subtitle options *2025-12-03* As the review states, the app is great. Especially considering I never though it'd get ported to ios. A feature that is desparately needed is advanced subtitle options. White subtitles with no background opacity is attrocious and it'd annoying that it's become the standard for streaming players. Choice of color, border, and opacity is all that I ask, otherwise this app is a wonderful addition to the app store! ### 2/5 — tvOS app needs lots of work *2025-12-03, version 1.3.2* tvOS app, not syncing to trakt properly(watched history/syncing shows), shows won’t load correctly, issues with add on sync, continue watching not loading properly ### 4/5 — i love *2025-11-22, version 1.3.2* i love this app i just hope it can be supported on Ios but it works perfectly on my pc . ### 3/5 — Better Scale on Apple TV *2025-11-18, version 1.3.1* I love Stremio is a good app I like it using on my Apple TV everything looks okay my only issue is that it is not scaled properly specially navigation doesn’t work and look good ### 2/5 — OK *2025-11-16, version 1.3.1* Embedded video subtitles turn off temporarily whenever I speed forward or backward. Normal subtitles timing is usually off. No volume bar so I can’t adjust the volume of the video separately. ### 4/5 — not working with vlc *2025-11-13, version 1.3.1* last version not working with vlc ### 5/5 — FINALLY! *2025-11-06* Only thing on my wish list is being able to use Picture in Picture. Other than that, awesome! ### 3/5 — Logo issue *2025-11-06, version 1.3.1* I don’t know what the designer tried to do with that updated design but the play button is not centred properly ### 4/5 — Please add PiP *2025-11-05, version 1.3.1* App is amazing though I wish it had Picture in Picture support. Also subtitles seem to disappear when I rewind ### 5/5 — Picture in Picture *2025-11-05, version 1.3.1* Great app only thing missing is PIP ### 3/5 — Apple TV app *2025-11-03* There needs to be a button like on all your other platforms to add media to library. Also for some reason when selecting stream it starts in the middle or list rather than beginning where best quality is listed. Subtitles also don’t save choice between episodes of a shows. Glad to have the app on Apple TV but it definitely needs some work. ### 5/5 — PIP *2025-10-31, version 1.2.1* Y’all should have pip mode on the app. Everything else is great ### 5/5 — Yay!! *2025-10-30, version 1.2.1* Best thing to ever happen for modern day streaming! ### 4/5 — Almost there… *2025-10-30, version 1.2.1* Everything works flawlessly, I haven’t encountered any bugs or issues so far. The navigation is intuitive, and the user interface feels smooth and well-designed. My only gripe is the absence of picture-in-picture (player-in-player) support, which I think would make the experience even better. Hopefully the devs will be able to integrate that in the future. ### 5/5 — The best!! *2025-10-30* Love having Stremio on my phone and other devices. There’s some bugs for now, I’m sure it will get updated but overall works pretty great. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2025-11-02, version 1.2.1* PIP doesn’t work which is extremely annoying but it also means it doesn’t work over discord. Also has moments it just takes a long time to load. Not a good app when you’re paying for it you expect better. No support system either. ### 1/5 — Str8 bu11sh1t *2025-11-02, version 1.2.1* Pointlesss ### 1/5 — Why the hell doesn’t it work for me *2025-10-26, version 1.2.1* My friend has it on his computer and I was like oh my God I’m gonna get that up oh my God it literally costed money and I’m like Daniel why does it work for you? It doesn’t work for me Jesus Daniel so then I complained that it wouldn’t work for me and it hasn’t worked for loads of other people. I am so angry with this app. Why do you not work for me? ### 1/5 — Too much money *2025-10-10, version 1.2.1* It's too expensive to pay for every stream ### 1/5 — Pointless *2025-10-08, version 1.2.1* Literally the most pointless app ever ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-10-05, version 1.2.1* Misleading!!!! Not free at all, doesn’t even have an actual library it just tells you where you can actually watch it on which you then have to pay forrr ### 1/5 — What’s the point of this app? *2025-10-04* Downloaded it to watch movies….doesn’t work. It’ll tell you WHERE the movies/series/etc are being streamed but it won’t let you watch them. I tried pressing the little firm button and got an error message over and over again. Idk what the point of this app is but google gives me the same info… ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-10-04, version 1.2.1* Nothing works. Upon looking in settings the url for streaming constantly says offline ### 1/5 — Just an advertiser *2025-09-30, version 1.2.1* Not worth it. It is just an advertiser for other platforms. No content; just a database and then click to what platform you want to spend your money. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t let me watch anything *2025-09-28, version 1.2.1* I tried everything but the app kept saying that Apple is blocking the app it will not work for my iOS ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So much better than the old app *2025-12-28, version 1.3.4* I always thought that the app on apple devices were so weak. This is a welcome improvement. Not sure why it’s called Lite but I assume it’s because it’s a new app altogether and they couldn’t update the old one. ### 5/5 — Thanks for keeping me on ios *2025-12-27* I rarely write reviews and I needed an app like this badly on my Apple iPad/iphone. After using this, the interface is so smooth and simple I love it. Thanks for releasing it. Now I don’t need Samsung tablet anymore ### 5/5 — This is so good BUT… *2025-12-23, version 1.3.2* Pllleleeassee this app is amazing buttttt it neeeds one thing, profiles, like on netflix so please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 add profile switching ### 5/5 — Recommendation *2025-12-13* Overall, the app itself is great. It feels pretty responsive and is user friendly. One thing i would like to see added would be Picture-in-Picture (PiP). Currently, when I exit the app the video's audio will play in the background but no PiP frame is displayed. ### 5/5 — Request *2025-12-04, version 1.3.2* Great app! hoping for PiP in future updates, would be cool ### 5/5 — Finally!!! So good *2025-12-03, version 1.3.2* So happy it fully works now!! (You need RD to get it working) but once you do it’s all good to go. Hopefully it keeps on working. Cheers! ### 5/5 — On vision pro my man💟 *2025-11-28, version 1.3.2* You’re my hero . The guy behind developing this app version 😘 can’t stop loving you ### 5/5 — Very promising *2025-11-24, version 1.3.2* Very impressive by this app. Unfortunately I've returned to the web app for now due to some minor UI gripes, but it's a promising start! Pro: Feels fluid like a proper app. Doesn't feel like a web app. Pro: Stable video playback. Con: The artwork is a bit small. And notably smaller then the website equivalent. Con: The titles for episodes for a given season gets cropped off and does not wrap to a second line. Unlike the website equivalent. For one show I have no way of distinguishing the episodes. Con: Seems there are parts of the UI which you must back out if rather than having a quick way to return to the home screen. Unless I'm missing something. The web equivalent doesn't have this issue. ### 5/5 — feature request: PiP please *2025-11-19, version 1.3.1* Works great. Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — Thankful *2025-11-08* Simply thank you for all the hard work on this app. It’s essential these days, and is more reliable than the first party streaming apps. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
