FAQ

Plain answers before you install.

Juicr is simple on purpose: the app gives you a clean place to browse and play, and you choose what sources to use.

Basics

What is Juicr?

Juicr is an Android media app for browsing, saving, resuming, and playing media from sources you choose.

What does "Your media, freshly pressed" mean?

It means Juicr keeps the app clean, organized, and ready to use while leaving source choices in your hands.

Does Juicr include media?

No. Juicr provides the app. You decide which optional sources or add-ons to enable.

Why does Juicr start empty?

Because sources should be a user choice, not a surprise. A fresh install waits until you enable an option or add one yourself.

If Juicr starts empty, why can it play after setup?

Because you can turn on optional built-in choices or add your own add-on. They are not enabled by surprise. Once you choose one, Juicr can use it to browse or play what that choice makes available.

Are built-in choices the same as third-party add-ons?

No. Built-in choices are optional tools already inside the app. Third-party add-ons are things you add yourself. Both should still ask clearly before they are used.

Can I use Juicr with no sources at all?

Yes. The app can open in a clean state. You can look at settings, read consent prompts, and decide later.

Is Juicr for Android TV available?

Juicr for Android TV is coming soon. The TV build is being shaped separately for remotes, large screens, and native playback controls.

Home, Discovery, and Library

What appears on Home?

Home shows curated rows, resume prompts, and saved context when your enabled sources provide enough data.

What is Discovery for?

Discovery is the browsing area. You can switch between available catalog types, ordering, and genres when those options exist.

What is Library for?

Library keeps user-centered items together, such as continue watching and liked titles.

Why do some areas say there are no results?

That usually means no source is enabled yet, a selected filter has no matches, or your current choices have no data for that section.

Does Juicr remember progress?

The app is designed to keep local playback progress so you can continue or start over when returning to a title.

Can I like or save titles?

Yes. Liked items are meant to live in Library so you can get back to them without searching again.

Can I filter movies, series, animation, and Live TV?

Yes, when those categories are available from the sources you enabled. If a category has no data, Juicr should say that plainly.

Why does Home change?

Home can change based on what is available, what you last watched, and what your enabled choices can safely show.

Can I search across the app?

Search is meant to help you find titles, channels, or animation from the sources you chose.

Does Juicr decide what I should watch?

No. Juicr can organize and surface rows, but the source choices and viewing choices stay yours.

Add-ons and Sources

Can I add my own add-on?

Yes. Add-ons are source lists you choose. Only add sources you trust and are allowed to use.

Does Juicr upload the add-ons I add?

No. Add-ons you add are handled on your device. Juicr should not expose private add-on details, playable links, account details, or sensitive connection details in ordinary app copy or help reports.

What is the built-in option?

It is optional and asks first. Juicr should not turn anything on by surprise.

Are built-in choices handled differently from add-ons I add?

Yes. Built-in choices are optional Juicr features you can enable or disable. Add-ons you add remain your own choices and should stay removable from settings.

Why does Juicr ask first?

Some choices can connect outside the app. Juicr should make that clear before anything optional is enabled.

Can I turn built-in choices off?

Yes. Optional choices should stay manageable from settings, including turning them off.

Does Juicr endorse third-party add-ons?

No. If you add a third-party source, you are choosing it yourself.

What should I avoid adding?

Avoid anything you do not trust, cannot legally access, or that asks you to bypass access controls.

Can I choose another playback option?

When more than one playback option is available, Juicr can let you choose another option. The app should label those choices safely without exposing private details.

Why are some playback options unavailable?

An option may be offline, blocked, unsupported by the player, or not allowed by your current source choice.

Can I remove an add-on later?

Yes. Add-ons should be removable from settings so you stay in control of what the app can use.

Can Juicr check if a source is safe?

Juicr can show clear warnings and keep risky details out of the interface, but you still need to choose sources carefully.

Playback, Subtitles, and Trailers

Does Juicr support subtitles?

Yes, when subtitle data is available from the sources you use. Subtitle controls are part of the playback experience.

Why does Juicr sometimes say a video is unavailable?

Because the enabled sources did not provide a playable option for that title at that moment. Juicr should say that plainly instead of leaving you stuck on a loading screen.

Why does playback sometimes open very quickly?

When a playable option is already known, Juicr can move straight to the player instead of making you wait through extra checks.

Why does Juicr avoid checking every possible source?

Repeated checks can be slow, noisy, and unreliable. Juicr should prefer clear results, safe retries, and simple unavailable states over endless loading.

Can I choose subtitle styling?

The app is being shaped to support readable subtitle preferences such as text color, background color, opacity, and radius.

Do trailers always appear?

No. Trailers appear when the enabled sources can safely provide a phone-ready or TV-ready trailer option.

Why are subtitles or trailers sometimes missing?

They may not be available for that title, language, region, or source choice. Juicr should say when something is unavailable instead of pretending it exists.

Can I use picture-in-picture?

Picture-in-picture is a player feature Juicr can support where the device and current playback mode allow it.

Can I cast to a TV?

Casting depends on device support and the playback option being used. If casting is available, Juicr should make it easy to find.

How do I control the brightness and volume?

In the native player, swipe up or down on the left side of the screen to adjust brightness, and swipe up or down on the right side to adjust volume. Device brightness controls, volume buttons, and remote volume buttons can also be used.

Can I change playback speed?

Yes, when the player supports it. Common choices include slower, normal, and faster speeds.

Can I change playback quality?

Quality choices depend on what the selected playback option provides. Juicr can offer practical choices such as best available, balanced, or a specific resolution when available.

Can I change video size?

Video size controls such as fit, fill, 16:9, and stretch belong in playback settings where supported.

Can I restart from the beginning?

Yes. If progress is saved, Juicr should let you continue or start over.

Can I skip to the next episode?

For series, Juicr is meant to show episode choices and a next episode action when the needed episode data is available.

Can I seek with a remote or keyboard?

On TV and keyboard-friendly layouts, the progress bar should support clear left and right seeking where playback allows it.

Android TV and Remote Controls

What is different on Android TV?

The TV version is being shaped for remote focus, larger spacing, native playback controls, and simple dialogs that work from the couch.

Can I use the TV app with only a remote?

That is the goal. Selectable items should be reachable with directional buttons, Back, and Enter.

How should Back work on TV?

Back should close dialogs first, leave typing mode when a text field is active, and avoid exiting the app by accident.

Can I choose episodes on TV?

Yes, for series when episode data is available. The TV layout should show episode titles and descriptions, not just small episode buttons.

Can I choose another playback option on TV?

Yes, when more than one option is available. The TV app should keep the labels simple and safe.

Why does focus matter so much on TV?

Because a remote needs a clear target. Juicr should only focus things that can be selected on the current screen.

Settings, Privacy, and Help

What settings does Juicr save?

Juicr may save local preferences like theme, accent color, text size, motion, playback preferences, source choices, and local history.

Does Juicr collect playable links in help reports?

No. Help reports should use safe summaries and counts, not playable links, private source addresses, account details, sensitive connection details, or private add-on configuration.

Can I change the app color?

Yes. Accent color is intended to affect selected controls, focus, and highlighted actions throughout the app.

Can I change text size?

Yes. Text size choices should help the app feel readable on phones and TVs.

Can I reduce motion?

Yes. Motion settings should help keep navigation comfortable if you prefer fewer animations.

Can I clear local data?

Advanced settings are intended to offer clear and reset actions for local history, continue watching, favorites, and discovery preferences.

Does Juicr need an account?

Juicr is designed around local app choices first. If a future feature needs an account, it should say so clearly.

What are help reports for?

Help reports should make problems easier to understand without showing private playback details.

Can help reports expose my sources?

They should not. Reports should avoid private source addresses, playable links, account details, and anything sensitive.

How do I send a help report?

When help reporting is available, Juicr should prepare a safe summary you can review before sharing.

What if something stops loading?

It may be your connection, a source you enabled, the selected filter, or a temporary outage. Juicr should show a plain state instead of leaking technical details.

Law, Copyright, and Responsibility

Is Juicr legal?

Juicr is an app for browsing and playback workflows around sources you choose. How you use it depends on your sources, your region, and what you are allowed to access.

Does Juicr host movies or shows?

No. Juicr does not need to host media. It provides the app experience and lets you manage choices you enable.

Does Juicr bypass paid or locked access?

No. Juicr should not be used to bypass subscriptions, paywalls, DRM, geoblocks, or other access controls.

Who is responsible for the sources I add?

What about copyright?

Respect copyright and local rules. If you are not sure whether you can access something, do not use it until you know.

What about DMCA requests?

Can Juicr remove content from the internet?

No. Juicr cannot remove media hosted by someone else. It can only control the Juicr app and Juicr website.

Does Juicr hide what sources I use?

Juicr should avoid showing private source details in the interface or help reports, but you should still keep your own source choices private and secure.

Is this legal advice?

No. These notes are plain product guidance, not legal advice. For legal questions, ask a qualified professional in your region.
