### 5/5 — Great For Missing Subtitles

*2026-06-05*

I started watching JJk in Russian on Crunchyroll, and for some odd reason, it was so inconsistent with providing subtitles so much so I decided to download this app to provide me Russian JJK subtitles. Some episode would have them and some wouldn’t. On those that didn’t have them I used this app… But then at a certain point JJK just stopped providing them period. So I am going to use this very frequently.

If you are watching a show and they have missing subtitles, I highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-04-18, version 3.2.0*

Me ayudo muchísimo y resolvió mi problema con una película que rente y no tenía subtítulos así que una maravilla

### 5/5 — The Professional

*2026-04-12*

Works like a charm.

### 5/5 — Best Closed Caption App out there

*2026-03-07*

I have tinnitus and need captions but my other half is dyslexic and captions make him crazy. I downloaded this app to my iPad and LOVE IT! I’ve watched many movies and the captions are ALWAYS  correct and timed well. There are also fast forward, rewind and pause functions in case you’re watching on tv and have to navigate commercials. I’ve tried a few other apps but this is by far the best.

### 2/5 — Need to save to device

*2026-01-15*

How to save the subtitles on the phone?

### 3/5 — Hit and miss

*2025-11-25*

When it works it’s good but often the subtitle file is not as long as the movie and you don’t realize until halfway through the movie and then you have to find another version for the same film and re-synchronize it so it’s sometimes extremely annoying

### 5/5 — Agradecimiento y satisfacción

*2025-09-12, version 3.2.0*

Realmente no tengo palabras para describir hasta la aplicación, en cuanto al tiempo real de los subtítulos, muy transparente y dedicada y de 100% recomendableaún sigue siendo poco para la gran puntuación que merece, la volveré a usar hasta que deje de existir.

### 5/5 — Me encanta esta aplicación

*2025-08-30, version 3.2.0*

Es muy buena,pienso que deberían actualizarla pero ayuda bastante,cumple su función

### 3/5 — Poor selection

*2025-07-16*

Used to love this app. But lately the search isn't bringing up any results. Used to be able to subs a few weeks after release but now nothing.

### 5/5 — it works!

*2025-07-03, version 3.2.0*

worked wonders amid a cinema view. i’d love to have a split screen translation to my mother’s tongue and an easier cue to words that i’ve just heard. love your work, God bless you!
