Thank you so much for this amazing app really it means so much for me. This app will be perfect 100% if you add tool for download the video that make the user from watching it off line , thats will make it great. Thanks

@ahmed_kassem I'm really happy that you like the app. I also thought about the idea of downloading videos but I need to figure out if I'm allowed to do that or not since it's Youtube videos. I will definitely look into it though. Thank you so much~!

I made this app by myself as a english learner, looking for an app like TEDiSUB which I used daily basis to learn English TED talks several years ago but never succeed nor satisfied with similar apps available on the stores. I wanted a very simple app which purpose is to watch the videos with two subtitles, one for English and the other for my mother language with a clean UI but I couldn't find. so I made this app with few features. - Only show the videos with subtitles of languages you chosen. So you don't need to worry if a video you choose to watch has a subtitle for your language. - Saving where you left off in videos so you can continue watch later. - Provide suggested list of videos and you also can search videos.

Out of curiosity, how are you scaling the translation part?

I had my coworkers download the app. They'd like to know how to slow down the videos.

Hi Jay nice work! Somehow I couldn't download it from Appstore. Would love to try it out (I built the HelloTalk language app) please let me know if that's still possible.
