### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-04-01, version 3.9.08*

I haven't encountered such poorly designed apps in a long time. The video download speed is incredibly slow, and right at the end, when there's just a little bit left to download, it throws a time limit error. You end up having to download the whole thing again. This is just one of the problems, and there are hundreds more…

### 5/5 — В 2026 работает суперски!

### 1/5 — Ads.

*2025-02-28, version 3.9.08*

They have all these ads that show up like games and such.  Can’t see your camera until you click off ads.  At least 4-5 ads first.  This needs to stop.   Don’t buy this until they fix this problem

### 1/5 — iPhone 13
