Was good until it wasnt

Reviewed on 2021-03-30T12:29:00

Edit: i am going to have to change my review, not that they seem to care anyway. I have been using the app for about one week now.The more i use it the more i hate it and just want to delete it. The series are amazing but this app is so poor. Freezes all the time, only allow to play 1 video then i cant load any others, i have to use another phone and it works for 1-2 videos, then switch back to another device. I am not able to watch it on my phone because it automatically mirrors it to my apple tv and of the tv is off theres the screen but unresponsive. Wetv is much better although not all episode are available until you get a monthly subscription. Viki is not available on Xbox which used to be on xbox 360 but not on xbox one or later. Just bad app. Original review: Not sure where those reviews come from but people are either dumb or born in 1860! Amazing app! I am learning Mandarin and this is amazing to get some culture and know whats going on in East Asia. I love that I can cast it to my Apple TV and watch my favourite series! - only thing i dont like or dont understand is why after 1 episode I dont seem to be able to watch another one and have to use a different device. Also a shame this app is not on Xbox one so i wouldn't have to use my phone/Ipad battery to cast it. Other than that amazing! Otherwise saying there are queer TV shows, dont be stuck in 1800 this is 2021. People are so rude and insulting, no manners! A shame they are watching shows from a culture that promote respect.

Hacking is a BIG issue. Just install a good add blocker on your pc and watch for free with no adds on kissasian,cooldrama, or dramacool9

Reviewed on 2021-01-22T05:27:10

Actually, I really like this app.But recently that means form 2 months maybe it started showing more ads.Before it only shows one ad for episode but now at least 10 ads for episode . I actually request to reduce the ads.

they give me 3 un-skippable 1 minute ads, all the same ad. not only that, but more ads to go along with it.the ads started at 12:01 and ended at 12:06. terrible. whoever thought of those un-skippable one minute ads need to be fired and sued. hope you run out of business.

Customer service sucks!

Reviewed on 2021-01-05T23:48:59

Had no problems for years, then my account was hacked. Someone changed my email and locked me out of my own account.I tried to contact customer service, and they said it would be two weeks while they investigated my account! Meanwhile I can't watch the programs I want and my subscription is being used by a criminal! Horrible customer service, no phone number to call, only email. This should be solved within 24-48 hours, but it has been dragging on for days and days

I subscribe to VIKI's standard service

Reviewed on 2020-12-19T18:39:01

I subscribe to VIKI's standard service. It's been a few years now. I have watched a lot of shows but I think they are getting greedy,wanting to charge more for what they call a 'plus' service in order to watch the more popular shows. Some of the shows that I have watched, the translations have been questionable and sometimes I run across a show where someone didn't even bother to translate a small section. So I ask myself the question why would I subscribe to 'plus' if standard is the way it is. I'm really thinking about canceling and trying a different method.
