Entusiasmada con la aplicación. Espero obtener buen provecho.

Youtube import stopped working. Before I imported on my mobile using Lingq Android app - stopped working around April-May 2024. This week Lingq extension stopped importing Youtube - says no captions found - tried reload extension, used on different videos on a number of occassions - still doesn't work it's a pity - Lingq was my favourite language app. Now can only use it for book reading....
