Make room for offline

Save public media from the player, then find it in Library → Downloads.

Mobile data, your choice

Downloads work on Wi-Fi or mobile data. Turn on Wi-Fi-only whenever you prefer.

How do offline downloads work?

Choose a video or podcast, tap Download, and wait for it to finish. Stop playback, switch off internet, then open the saved item from Library. On iPhone, keep the app open while downloading; paused browser downloads restart from the beginning. Browser storage limits apply and the system may remove saved data under storage pressure. Paid-film access and purchases use the website; paid-film offline access is not included in this release.

How do I update the Android app?

Install version 0.3.0 or later once to enable automatic updates. Compatible improvements download while the app is online and apply the next time you fully close and reopen it. Your saved library stays on the device. Changes to native features, permissions or the app icon can still require a new signed APK from this page. Install it over the existing app; keep the app installed to preserve its library.
