Limitations​

Because the mobile version can only fetch subtitle files through our server, subtitles may fail to load in some cases, such as:

  • Region-restricted videos
  • Private videos
  • Subscriber-only videos

Workarounds​

If the server cannot fetch subtitles, try one of these:

  1. First load the subtitles through the extension package, and then open the same video from the mobile version.
  2. First download the subtitle file through the extension package, and then upload it to the mobile version for use.

Feature Differences​

The mobile version only provides basic subtitle functions. Advanced features such as Learning Mode, Dictation Mode, and Speaking Mode are not available on mobile.

For the full learning experience, we recommend using the desktop browser extension.
