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. ### 2/5 — My review *2024-08-21, version 7.0.9* I’m not really sure how to watch on it but the rest is quite good ### 2/5 — App used to let me add my own add ons *2023-05-30, version 7.0.5* This app used to let me ad my own add ons now it doesn’t even tho I paid every month , every time I enter my add on it said it’s no valid ### 3/5 — Two Things Are Preventing 5 Stars *2022-12-06, version 6.0.3* Good app the only things preventing it from being 5 stars. There’s no Lifetime sub for a front end app. Also there’s no Apple TV support as well which is a little ridiculous considering the dev wants to charge monthly. I like the app but the removal of the lifetime pricing cuz there’s no competition makes it a bit scummy. Other than that though the app is good for what it is. ### 2/5 — Lifetime license *2022-07-18, version 6.0.1* A good scraper, an ok interface. But stuck on having a monthly charge boggles the mind, why they don’t setup a $25 “lifetime” license is beyond me. ### 1/5 — Subscription based *2022-04-12, version 5.1.0* Third part addons are blocked behind a monthly subscription. I would totally pay a one time fee. Dev is def going for the money and there is no competition unfortunately on iOS. I won’t be supporting it. ### 1/5 — Keyboard disabled when trying to review from ap *2022-04-10, version 5.1.0* This app is garbage. The UI looks like apps from 14yrs ago. Come on. If you are going to charge for premium then give us a modern app. ### 5/5 — Best There is!!! *2022-02-17, version 5.0.8* The only worth while Movie/TV App For IOS. ### 4/5 — Was Great but where has RD gone *2022-01-05, version 5.0.7* RD is not working anymore so I can not find any links, please sort out the RD. thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Helios and everything stops working *2024-05-19, version 7.0.9* Everything shows nor sources found for weeks, still not working ### 1/5 — Disappointed. *2023-02-02, version 7.0.5* Had lifetime. Dev removed it. Not paying $1.99/month for this. ### 1/5 — Subscription pricing not working correctly *2022-12-01, version 6.0.3* This app is currently charging 9.49 monthly instead of 1.49 monthly. I tried unsubscribing and resubscribing, but it is still charging a different subscription price once you subscribe. Not sure if this is an apple problem or a wako problem but it needs to be fixed ASAP. App is otherwise great! ### 1/5 — Won’t let me get paid membership *2022-05-05, version 5.1.0* So I tried to become a paid subscriber….but it instead just gives me an option to two other websites..? Seems sketchy. If the developers want payment..do it through the App Store. ### 1/5 — I agree with Jlv102 about subscription *2022-04-19, version 5.1.0* Why would you change this? Now instead of watching 2 ads to disable ads for 12 hrs now it’s 2 30 second ads on every movie or show you want to search. Ridiculous. Change this else I ain’t supporting this app no more . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New Wako UI *2026-08-01, version 12.1.9* The new wako UI is amazing !!! ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Worth every penny. *2025-04-01, version 8.5.4* Possibly one of the best apps I've ever used. 11 out of 10. ### 5/5 — Perm paid option? *2025-03-20* Was looking for a perm paid option just in case the servers are ever down, as i use this daily, to verify ownership of paid features so it doesnt *NEED* an internet connection to verify it’s paid for ### 5/5 — Amazing application *2024-12-04, version 7.0.9* I have been using Wako for years. App works amazing for organizing my movies/shows and connecting to my debrid services. Had a slight issue with the app and the developer was extremely responsive and had it fixed extremely quickly. ### 5/5 — Third party add-one not installing *2022-07-20, version 6.0.1* Third party add ons from unknown sources are not installing anymore. Please fix this! ### 5/5 — Best app ever, a must have for kodi! *2022-07-12, version 6.0.1* Everything you could wish for, search and save movies and tv shows from your cell and simply send them to kodi to play. Get notifications of new episodes, Trakt what you’ve watched, No apps need to be installed on kodi, no updates, no more problems with kodi apps that stop working. It all happens on your phone and the stream is just sent to kodi! IMDb ratings, Trakt ratings, check for streams with one click. Just awesome! ### 5/5 — Must Have App *2022-06-15, version 5.1.3* If you are willing to spend the 1.50$ monthly this is an amazing extension to Kodi alongside watching all RD content on mobile. ### 5/5 — WARNING! This App went downhill. *2022-03-19, version 5.1.0* 1. They made the Free version useless. You must pay if you want any useful functionality. 2. They took away yearly and lifetime subscriptions, so we are only left with a monthly payment option. 3. I purchased it, and they won’t even let me family share! They pulled a bait and switch on all their users. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
