## Review summary

Users find LingQ Importer effective for YouTube video imports and language learning, but it struggles with Android compatibility, Firefox container support, and importing shows from streaming services like Hulu and Netflix. Longer videos get fragmented into out-of-order lessons, impacting usability. Overall, it works well in standard Firefox environments for certain content but lacks broader compatibility and reliable importing from multiple sources.

### Pros

- Works as advertised for YouTube videos.
- Effective for language learning purposes as intended.
- Generally performs well without container configurations.

### Cons

- Fails to work on Android devices.
- Does not function properly with Firefox container tabs, showing login prompts despite being logged in.
- Unable to import content correctly from streaming services like Hulu and Netflix, often only showing placeholders or sales copy instead of actual content.
- Longer videos are split into multiple lessons which may be imported out of order, disrupting playlist continuity.
