User Reviews

Most reviews flag two core problems: ads and misleading content, plus reliability issues. Users can't find or access titles promoted in ads, and many report excessive ads that disrupt viewing. The app also sometimes fails to load or let users search, and the catalog appears biased toward Asian content with few Western titles. A minority report positive experiences when content loads. Overall, the app's advertising and reliability problems overwhelm any positives.

Pros

Some users enjoy the short films and can binge-watch when content is accessible.
A few reviewers express positive sentiment (e.g., 'excellent', 'I love watching the short films', 'I love it').
Occasionally, episodes allow binge-watching with only a few ads that can be slid past.

Cons

Content is often unavailable or not the same as advertised; users can't find titles they were shown in ads (false advertising).
Excessive/ intrusive ads hinder viewing; 'Amount of ads is insane' and 'only ads'.
App reliability problems: search failing, no content loads, and features not working.
Content seems biased toward Asian titles with little or no American actors.
Forced notifications and intrusive prompts.

Recent reviews

Left a different review b4 about how The Words was taken off b4 I can finish it bt I couldn't edit my post 2 add this. I'm deleting this app. I'm disappointed that everything I had in my watch list has been deleted. All this app has 2 offer now are Japanese shorts with ones that are dubbed. I'm not interested in watching them. Watching things that are dubbed irrates me because the mouth and sounds don't line up. And I can't watch anything foreign cuz I can't watch and read at the same time.
