Ratings and reviews

I rated Nodus 3 stars and gave feedback about the 404 error, im genuinely glad that you fixed it and made some other updates as well. Now the problem im facing is that my friend is not able to join a room; it keeps saying "Room Not Found" even tho it is a valid room and this keeps happening repeatedly. Regarding my previous suggestion i meant that you could add a built-in YouTube search feature so we do not have to copy and paste links repeatedly. For example an app called Mzelo has this option!

Nodus is a great video viewing and sharing app. It’s easy to use, smooth, and has a simple user-friendly interface. Sharing and watching videos is quick and convenient. Definitely worth trying!🔥🔥

One the most marvelous experience I have ever had.Now I can watch any movie or TV show with my distant friends.
