Ekaterina Mikhaleva, Yekaterinburg, 27 years old. In general, everything is good, simple and convenient. But the application sometimes hangs – no matter what I do. And I reinstalled, and I cleaned the cache in the settings – it still continues to freeze periodically. I use it from my phone.
Elena Utkina, Khabarovsk, 40 years old.The application is good, there are, it seems, even more films than on KinoPoisk.
