Framasoft is known for its many initiatives aimed at raising public awareness of alternatives to large centralised platforms and encouraging digital practices that are more respectful of privacy and individual freedoms. This is done in particular through the De-google-ify Internet campaign, which proposes some fifteen services as alternatives to those of the net giants.

Ratings and reviews

I couldn't find any decent video content within this app. Furthermore, the website that originally redirected me here is nowhere to be found inside the app itself. To make matters worse, the few videos available have virtually no engagement, sitting at zero, one, or two views at most. I have uninstalled it.

It's pretty okay. But my biggest complaint is the lack of a way to disable video playback gestures. I prefer to control brightness and volume with android's native ways because being able to change those with gestures always results in doing so by accident very frequently. If I could disable gestures, I would give the app 5 stars, but with gestures being forced, it is very frustrating to watch videos here

The app crashes within first two minutes in the process of watching a video. After the crash of the app, OS get very laggy and slow for a minute or two.
