### 1/5 — 맥에서는 구매복원이 안됨

*2026-06-13*

개발자님!제가 바보도 아니고 안해봤겠어요?답답하네 진짜...

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 문의해 주셔서 감사합니다.

확인 결과, 구매 복원이 되지 않는 가장 흔한 원인은 처음 구매하셨을 때와 다른 Apple ID로 로그인되어 있는 경우입니다. 구매 복원은 처음 결제하신 Apple ID 계정의 구매 내역만 불러올 수 있어서, 다른 계정으로 로그인되어 있으면 복원할 내역이 없는 것으로 표시됩니다.

### 5/5 — 강추합니다

*2026-05-06*

피드백 빠른 업데이트 최고입니다
강추드려요..!!

**Developer response:** 소중한 리뷰 정말 감사합니다! 보내주신 피드백 덕분에 더 좋은 앱으로 발전할 수 있었습니다. 앞으로도 의견 있으시면 언제든 알려주세요. 감사합니다!

### 3/5 — アプリ内課金ェ

*2026-01-22*

課金しないとPiPし続けられなかったのは残念

**Developer response:** 無料ユーザーでもPiPは毎日の制限付きで利用可能です。アプリ内課金はアプリの継続的な開発をサポートするためです。ご理解いただけると嬉しいです

### 1/5 — DLできない

*2026-01-21*

なぜ？

**Developer response:** こんにちは！ファイルをダウンロードするには、アプリ内ブラウザでURLにアクセスしてください。ダウンロード画面が自動で表示されます。動画はサイトが許可している場合のみダウンロード可能です

### 1/5 — This is not Yo Player app.

*2026-01-21*

I downloaded it. But the screen shows DuckDuckGo. It is a browser. Not player.

**Developer response:** The browser is a core part of the app. It lets you watch videos ad-free, use PiP mode, and download files. Once downloaded, you can play them from the Files tab in the app.

### 1/5 — Ne détecte pas les vidéos

*2026-01-20*

Ne détecte pas toutes les vidéos pour les télécharger, avec les lecteur vidzy, super vidéo par exemple

**Developer response:** Vous pouvez télécharger n'importe quel fichier en visitant l'URL dans le navigateur intégré. Une fenêtre de téléchargement apparaîtra automatiquement. Pour les vidéos, le téléchargement fonctionne si le site le supporte.

### 4/5 — 추가 기능 건의드립니다.

*2025-12-21*

잘 쓰고 있는데 개선됐으면 하는게 있어서 리뷰 남겨봅니다. 
1. pip모드로 영상을 볼 때 위치를 세밀하게 조정하는 옵션 - 현재는 각 모서리 4군데로만 pip를 둘 수 있는데 저는 왼쪽이나 오른쪽 중간즈음에도 두고 싶은 경우가 있어 설정옵션이 있으면 좋겠네요

2. 아이폰 회전잠금 상태에서도 동영상 전체화면시 가로로 긴 영상은 자동으로 90도 회전하는 옵션 추가 - 저는 아이폰 화면이 이리저리 움직이는게 싫어서 화면회전을 고정하고 쓰는데 이러면 가로로 긴 영상은 방향그대로 늘어나기만 하고 검은 공간이 너무 많이 생기네요. 혹시 화면비율을 감지하고 자동으로 화면 회전되는 옵션을 넣어주실 수 있을까요?

3. pip로 영상 자동재생 켜놓고 다음영상 넘어가면 pip가 사라지는 버그 - 의도된 건진 모르겠는데 영상 넘어갈 때마다 앱 매번 실행해서 pip 버튼 누르는게 번거롭습니다.

**Developer response:** 피드백 감사해요! 말씀하신 기능들 다음 업데이트에 검토해보겠습니다. 좋은 의견 감사합니다

### 3/5 — 이어폰으로 다음 재생이나 이전 재생이 안되는데 원래 그런가요?

*2025-12-19*

이어폰으로 다음 재생이나 이전 재생이 안되는데 원래 그런가요?

**Developer response:** 피드백 감사해요! 다음/이전 컨트롤은 유튜브 웹 한계라 기본적으로 안 됩니다. 재생목록 사용 여부에 따라 다를 수 있어요. 이해 부탁드려요

### 5/5 — Easy to use and no ads!

*2025-12-14*

I subscribed for the lifetime offer tonight and I’m more than happy. no delay with YouTube video playback, no ads and perfect picture in picture mode lets me play video while working on other tasks in the background. Happy to recommend it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the support and the awesome review! Happy to hear everything's running smooth. Enjoy!

### 5/5 — 자동pip 앙되게 해주세요

*2025-12-14*

클리앙에서 보구  사용중인데 영상마다 자동pip되는데 이것만 수동으로 해줘도 충분히ㅜ좋을듯합니다

**Developer response:** 피드백 감사합니다! 말씀하신 자동 PiP 끄기 기능 추가된 7.2.0 버전으로 업데이트됐어요. 이제 설정에서 변경 가능합니다
