Ratings and Reviews
Keeps dropping video
Audio works, but after a few moments whatever I'm watching drops the video.
Immediate Payment Request: A Hasty Uninstall
I installed the app, only to be immediately asked to pay. I wouldn't have minded if I had the chance to try it out first, and then be informed about the trial period and upgrade options as opposed to being met with an abrasive annoyance as the first impression before the app would even open. Furthermore, there was no indication in the Apple Store that it was anything other than a free app rather than a paid app that jumped out first glance. Not that it would have been an issue if knowing in advance, especially if I liked it. Then again, I assume that the app is mediocre, which is the reason for their misleading method needed to use just to get people to download. Being abruptly asked to pay without knowing what the app could do was frustrating. Consequently, I uninstalled it within moments. I'll never know whether I would have liked the app or not, because the initial experience left such a negative impression that I won't try it again despite how good or bad it could be. I am positive there are many others as good or better to try. Thanks
Beware, fees after "free" trial are outrageous
I have seen many reviews on here criticizing the false advertising of this app, and rightfully so. While it does offer a "free trial" period (I don't know if this is new or not), it is only for THREE DAYS. Not even a full week. After that, the fees are an outrageous $3.99 PER WEEK. The bolded option in the middle (the obvious one) is $4.99 per month. You can also do a lifetime membership for $15. This is an absurd price for a web extension, and it seems obvious they are banking on people signing up for the lower listed prices, which will VERY quickly add up to a lot of money. I would never download something from a developer who is so clearly underhanded and just out to rip people off.
