### 5/5 — New Wako UI

*2026-08-01, version 12.1.9*

The new wako UI is amazing !!!

### 1/5 — No external video player option

*2026-07-21, version 12.1.9*

When I played a movie it keeps stopping , and I have great internet so that’s not a issue , I wish there was an option to use an external video player because I’ve looked all over the app and no option, I’ll change my rating once it’s done

### 5/5 — The new UI is 10/10

*2026-07-11, version 12.1.9*

After the app changed design it's actually pretty awesome now.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2026-06-12, version 12.1.9*

Subscription doesnt say its paid for(i have it) when it did work videos didnt play. Im getting tired boss

### 1/5 — Ruined by update

*2026-05-15, version 12.1.15*

Until the latest update this was a great app. Now I find it unusable it is difficult to setup but the biggest problem there are no instructions or directions on how to setup and use.

### 3/5 — New update shocking

*2026-05-14, version 12.1.15*

This was my go to app and happy to pay£2 a month but the new update is dreadful.

### 1/5 — horrid

*2025-05-30, version 8.6.9*

this app is so stupid i was trying to watch a show and i click on it and it gives me an over view and it doesn’t even tell you how to open its to good or be true don’t download this app

### 3/5 — Decent app, price increase ridiculous.

*2025-04-12, version 8.5.7*

Been using this app for quite some time, I enjoy using it. It’s not mandatory as there are PLENTY of other FREE options. But I like wako, so I’m happy to pay the £1.29 per month subscription. 

The price just increased by 55%, now £1.99. I understand a price hike but 55% is absolutley mind blowing. Talk about a cash grab.

### 5/5 — Great app, wonderful support

*2025-04-03, version 8.5.5*

This app is not only great at what it does, but great where it does it: iOS, iPadOS, FireOS, Android TV, Android mobile, etc. plus if there’s an issue the developer can be reached directly on Reddit or Discord and replies nearly instantly. If you want to use a program like this one, use this one. It’s simple and highly effective.

### 1/5 — Error with the app

*2025-04-02*

I’ve been a premium membership for over 2 years , and yesterday I was trying to use the app and when I wanted to play want of my own add ons it keep saying I need to be premium to use this option , but I’m premium so idk what’s going on with the app , I hope I get a response soon from the developer, also I have to update my review , why the  increased in price ? Are we getting something new , otherwise I will be cancelling my membership
