I LOVE the idea of this app and would find it so useful…if it worked. The whole “floating screen” part is amazing but for some reason Netflix doesn’t work. It worked the very first time I launced the app but not since. YouTube works great though. But I’d REALLY appreciate if Netflix worked. Please fix this and i’d be happy to give this app 5 stars.

Good idea but doesn’t work!
Funzione PIP sul mac.Bella applicazione
Funziona bene ed è molto sempilce, fa quello che dice. Molto simpatica la possibilità del PIP. Consigliata
Great app!
Love the dashboard and the menu bar item.
Needs a new update
Worked like a charm the first few months when I first got it a few weeks ago (september 1st, 2016) and I tried using it again today. Click the icon, pops up, white blank application. Tied to uninstall and reinstall and still didn’t work, several times actually. I really like this app but having it malfunction like this is such a buzzkill. It was a five but it’s got me at one now. Fix please.
Better options than Helium, but...
I love the home screen much better than Helium, but haven’t been able to get it to play Netflix movies. Helium plays them fine, so not sure why this won’t. But looks like a great start!
Doesn’t work!
I tried Netflix, youtube. Both didn’t work. So all in all this app doesn’t work for me. Good luck to the developer!
Needs work
The concept of this is great but it would be better if it worked. Hulu and youtube works but not netflix which is one of the main reasons I downloaded this app. Please work on this. I would love to see it work. Good Luck
