Rave - Watch Party

I’ve never written a negative review for an app because I didn’t want to bother so I just deleted them, that’s not the point here. I rely on rave to watch movies and videos with friends and it was working fine until recently. 1. The app freezes sometimes for no reason so I have to close the app and sometimes that doesn’t solve it 2. After some time the chats don’t show up for the other person 3. Videos take long to load sometimes I was watching a movie with a friend and the whole screen froze, no big deal, I closed the application but the audio was still playing. I told my friend to pause it and he did but I could still hear it as if the movie was still playing. I had to restart my phone for it to work again. Minutes later it happens again but I can’t even close the application NOR shut my phone off. I have an iPhone XR that’s only 3 months old, everything up to date. Restarting my phone doesn’t solve anything. Please fix these bugs, Rave is the only app I can watch stuff with friends on ever since Rabbit was shut down.

This app asks for access to ALL of your data from personal accounts. Let me make it clear, they can see every picture you’ve sent or received, every message you’ve sent or received as well as your passwords and location. Not only do they make you keep your location on the entire time, but they also allow other viewers to see exactly where you are (if you zoom in). When you finally get into the app you’re greeted with only people from Asia (Indians and some form of Chinese/Korean- I’m not sure what language and I don’t want to be offensive). They also have access to your mic/camera and they turn it on any time they’d like to get a quick peek or listen. I don’t trust this app. I’m not some crazy boomer rambling on about how the government is listening in on our calls. This app seriously isn’t safe and I don’t recommend. They need to seriously fix their app so we can feel some form of security. I urge you to not download it. If you did please look into revoking their access like I did. According to another review, Rave got into their account and then changed their password so now they no longer have access to their own data. You’re giving them permission to do this when you agree to their terms. You have been warned.

I love the idea of this app. t’s pretty cool that you can watch different videos/shows with your friends. However, My BIGGEST issue and something that’s terribly difficult for me to get over is how early it cuts the videos/shows off. Me and my boyfriend enjoy watching Netflix series together and I get so irritated with how soon it ends and prompts us to choose the next episode. Also the video freezes up very frequently and the audio doesn’t play a lot of times. I’m still giving 3 stars because I think overall the concept of the app is a very savvy. Hope y’all take this feedback into consideration it definitely has a lot of potential!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP I downloaded this app, and immediately they asked for me to sign in with an already existing account. A facebook, twitter, or google account. Before you sign in to one of they say that they will access your information from the account. They do not give you an option to create an in-app account. They ask to know your location, even if you say no, it knows your country. If you sign in with any account and then log out, going back in to sign into the same type of account (if you have two google account or something and decide to use your 2nd one but already logged into the 1st one) it says you have logged into an account already, and then if you say to proceed, they sign you back into the 1st one. They store your email and password to the account. If you want to watch Netflix, even off of someone else's Netflix account in a "rave" room, they make you sign into a Netflix account. They store your data and have access to everything in whatever account you give them the password and email too. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP

What’s the point of replace viki with the web if the web doesn’t let you watch it with your friends? My friend and I only used use this app because it was the only app that let us watch viki together even though we weren’t in the same room. No we can’t do that. We tried using the web to do it, but it doesn’t let us add each other to watch it. That doesn’t even matter because the web doesn’t even let you play the show. I really don’t get what the point of replacing viki was, but please make an effort to bring it back. I get to see my friend once a year twice at most, and this was the only way for us to do things together. Now we can’t even do that. Thank you.
