Constant issues with streaming. App on Roku has had issues twice in 2 months. Days without being able to watch on TV. Do yourself a favor and just watch on Netflix, Disney, Amazon, or Kocowa.

Ich hab Viki immer geliebt. Wirklich! Neue Dramen sind nun aber leider seit einiger Zeit mit einer KI untertitelt. Sie werden wohl auch nicht mehr korrigiert. Die deutschen KI Untertitel sind so furchtbar schlecht. Das macht keinen Spaß. Begriffe sind oft noch auf Englisch gelassen worden. Anreden sind falsch. Sätze ergeben keine Sinn und sind einfach komplett falsch übersetzt. Der ein oder andere Protagonist ist schon gestorben, obwohl er nur das Haus verlassen hat. Übersetzungen wirken oft unnatürlich und teilweise emotionslos. Pronomen sind auch sehr oft falsch zugeteilt. Dazu keine Übersetzungen mehr der Lieder. Was ich sehr schade finde. Kulturelle Nuancen fehlen komplett. Viki hebt sich somit von anderen Plattformen überhaupt nicht mehr ab. Man bekommt mehr Auswahl bei anderen Streamingdiensten, wenn man auf Englisch gucken muss. Wirklich schade diese Veränderung.

In the past, they offered top quality shows. But for some reason, they are offering more and more BL. In fact, over half the new offerings just listed were BL. AND there is no way for me to screen this so the LTBTQ++++ and BL stuff doesn’t display. I’m tired of having to scroll thru it, and I don’t want my kids to see it.

The content is great! However, the playback quality is low, frequent errors interrupt viewing, and shows stop suddenly and something completely different will start playing without any user input. Very frustrating.

Viki movie streaming is the most frustrating company to deal with. I have had them off and on over the years and when I need help, I can't talk to a real person and when i send a note to support.viki.com, i get no reply. I recenly reactiviated my personal account to watch a few specific movies. i wanted the plan WITHOUT the commercials, but got the commercials. I then attempted to UPGRADE my plan on numerous occassions in the past week or two, to no avail. i tried changing my passsword, have written to rakuten the parent company and have spent literally HOURS trying to get this accomplished. I thought I cancelled the account completely but had use of it until the next billing date, but I can't even confirm that!!!!!! NOT HAPPY. BTW, I have had KOKOWA for years and never have a problem getting through to them for questions. Yvonne Pelino

Je viens d'acheter l'abonnement Viki Pass (Viki gratuit, je pense que c'est du vent...). Hors, je m'aperçois que je ne peux pas visionner les séries dans leur intégralité. Je suis très déçue. Grosse frustration! Qui a envie de visionner une série sachant que les 3 ou 4 derniers épisodes ne sont pas proposés? On reste sur notre faim! J'ai essayé plusieurs séries, c'est toujours le même problème... Conclusion, je suis repartie chez des concurrents. Je veux bien qu'on m'explique quand même!

To be honest, I am starting to like this website less and less. The shows available without a subscription are mostly uninteresting. While there are a few I rewatch occasionally, many shows I wanted to watch are locked, and I mean 10+ titles. Then there are the ads. I feel like I'm getting ads every 15-30 minutes, and it's usually 2-3 ads, with 1-2 repeating 2-4 times in the same ad break. To make matters worse, I'm just listening to the ads no video to watch just staring at my paused show, the ads aren't even in English so i am just listening to Korean and Chinese ads staring at my paused show.

It was great until mid 2025. Their contract with content providers changed and their offerings of current KDramas are greatly diminished. Not worth the fees anymore, in my opinion.
