Ratings and reviews

For some reason the app downloaded from here will not work. Download it directly from their website because that one does work. Update: Improvements have been made but it is still buggy such as not detecting my YT playlists and having to uninstall the YT source in order to have it detect the lists. Then when adding the playlists the progress circle always stays stuck on 0% with no way to cancel other than to manually stop the app. The lists are still imported but it is still an annoying bug.

This is a good app when the experience is consistent. As of right now, I am unable to download any videos and they all give the same error. Also, allowing downloads over network would be great.. It is important for me to download videos because I live where I dont get service or wifi, so I just really want to be able to download videos as needed. I am a musician who uses samples and youtube is my main source at the moment. Otherwise, great app and I hope it continues to improve.

My review was originally written, not understanding anything besides the peertube plugin was not installed. All the features you could ask for from an online video player are here. It's a bit unclear that you need the plugins to find the content from other platforms, which initially I believed youtube and twitch (etc.) would be added after purchasing a license. this is a great way to view online content without all the drawbacks of traditional platforms and their proprietary apps.
