Complaint

Common complaints

  • Battery Drain & Overheating
    • The app eats my battery like no other app and makes my phone hot.
    • Last night my battery declined by 50% in just an hour.
  • Subscription & Access Issues
    • I’ve been paying for a subscription but it only shows me free content... I’ve reached out to customer support multiple times, no response.
  • Audio & Video UX
    • Autoplay video makes the app unusable... music always pauses when i open the app.
