I started using the app because I like the series they carry. But even as a VIP member, the iPhone app bombards you with ads. Every time you pause, an ad pops up right where the pause/unpause button is. The subtitles are often too fast too read, so I have to pause them to read and then unpause to continue. Each time I do that, I have to click out of some useless ad. Sometimes I end accidentally opening the ad, so I pulls up a browser window. I have to close out of that, open iQIYI back up, wait for the ad for opening the app finishes, and finally get back to show. Then do the whole thing 30 seconds later because I have to pause to read the subtitles again. And just to reiterate, I PAY A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FOR THIS APP. It’s actually the most expensive streaming app for Asian dramas that I know of. And yet, I’m constantly having to dodge ads. Another issue is the subtitles, although that’s more of a content issue that the actual app itself. In addition to the subtitles being so quick that you can’t even read them, the translations are often terrible (for English subtitles). There’s no way that a native English speaker wrote translated them. Again, this subscription is one of the most expensive that I know of, and yet their subtitles are like a 3rd-year EFL student translated them. If this were a free or cheap subscription, this all would be understandable. But it’s not. I can’t help feeling like we’re being ripped off. I might be at the point of canceling my subscription, despite how many series on here I still want to watch.
