Rakuten VikiReviews of viki.com

Viki is a bait and switch subscription. Paid for standard to find out most of the shows requires a pro pass. In fact a lot of the older shows that I watched from Dramafever like "She was Pretty" is locked from viewing on Standard. Shows like "Perfume" only allows you to view two episodes before it locks you and prompts you to upgrade. In fact everything about Viki is about upgrading to the pro pass. Seriously 30% off for 1 year for standard means absolutely nothing as you will soon find out that you will need to upgrade if you want to watch any shows. This is not a DramaFever replacement. Do not fall for it. For the first time in my life I really despise the underhandedness of a company that divides their subscription into 3 tiers Basic, Standard and Pro and all of them prompts you to upgrade. This is like selling you a subscription to a magazine that has missing chapters and to read those missing chapters you have to upgrade. Upgrade... Upgrade... Upgrade.... Bait and switch!! I wasted my $30 for the year. Look, if Viki had offered only 1 tier like Dramafever for $68 or in the case of Viki $99/year, I wouldn't been upset. Like Dramafever I would have subscribed month to month then decide that $99/year would give me better value. However the basic/standard tiers only makes you feel ripped off because it keeps prompting you to upgrade by locking shows that, in a sense, you paid to watch. Just think if Netflix did that? and although Netflix does offer you different price levels, they don't limit the shows you can watch. Paying more for Netflix just means you get to watch shows in 4k/atmos surround sound. If Netflix did what Viki has done, you can bet there would be an uproar. The problem is those that did subscribed to Viki has probably upgraded with no complaints. It is only the few that sees how Viki is doing a bait and switch and is upset about it. There are a lot of free sites out there and I encourage you to find them and hopefully Viki will just fade away.

Très mauvais on nous fais payer 5 euros par mois alors que les nouvelle série ne sont pas en français sinon un seul épisode après plus rien franchement si c est pour voir des anciennes serie on peut le faire en streaming

Disappointing! Subtitles takes days! Why even bother asking members to pay when so behind with subtitles! Such a scam.

I’m extremely disappointed in this service. You pay full price for a service yet they deliver only halfway. Most of the time it takes days before the subtitle is ready. You pay for a premium and they want you to pay a higher premium to access different shows. Now if Viki wants people to buy a higher premium package they need to deliver. Who wants To pay even more for such pathetic service?

Been watching five children with closed captian till EP 37 then all sudden no closed captain. Please fix because I love Viki!!

Honestly, I can't watch a drama with frequent ads. I paid for no ads. So when you ask me to write my honest opinion so I can make better choices, I'm pretty confused. by that statement. So, If I can't tolerate ads, I must cancel my subscription. THAT'S NOT EASY EITHER!

I purchased a one-year Viki Pass Standard, but did not get any of the promised benefits. I still see ads every few minutes and I still have to wait 2-3 weeks to see new episodes. I sent a request to Viki's Support Team, asking them to look into the issue and to fix the problem. However, I got no response.I followed up the next day asking them to fix the issue again, but I still got no response. After 6 days of waiting, I finally gave up on Viki and asked for a refund. However, I'm still waiting for that refund/response. I feel that Viki has completely cheated me of my money and do not even care to respond to their customers. This has been a horrible experience for me.

Before I subscribed to Viki, I researched first and found out that they are really bad in subtitles. I thought, maybe I could give it a try. I am a Dramafever subscriber so i'm used to a GOOD SERVICE. Every time there's a new show in Viki, you have to wait for 2 days or more to have there subtitles to be 100% complete. Not like Dramafever! The moment Dramafever upload the new show you dont have to worry about anything.
