User Reviews

Users praise PiP support and overall quality, but report recurring video-opening/playback bugs, intrusive ads, and occasional PiP stability issues. Dark mode is appreciated. Some reviews note login/resume/history navigation problems. Improving reliability, reducing ads, and solid PiP consistency are the most requested improvements.

Pros

Picture-in-Picture (PiP) functionality is widely praised and stands out as a core value.
Generally strong, well-programmed app and one of the best PiP apps on the App Store.
Dark mode support is appreciated and has improved the user experience.
Intuitive interface with direct launching from the app, reducing reliance on Safari/YouTube.

Cons

Video opening/playing bugs: tapping a video does not open or play reliably; occasional freezing or unresponsive UI.
Intrusive ads and lack of a one-time premium option, which hurts the user experience for some.
Stability and PiP-specific bugs: unresponsive touch on some updates/devices and PiP failing after certain actions.
Login/resume/history/navigation issues: not staying logged in, not resuming videos, hidden or inconsistent history, and broken link handling.
