About Subtitle Seeker
Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation? ... You search for hours for a high-quality download of a foreign film you've been longing to watch for weeks (or months and years). You have even looked for free movie streaming sites on the internet, but you can't discover anything. Maybe you finally find it on Netflix, but it's only available for a high-cost subscription, and you believe buying a movie right now is too pricey.
Is it possible that you're just completely unlucky at this moment? Isn't there nothing you can do but find someone who speaks the language and have them explain the film to you, or spend the next few months studying the language? … Wrong! There are a number of websites dedicated to offering the highest possible quality subtitles!
They are, in fact, more than just normal websites that provide translation files for download. The best subtitle sites are those that resemble online communities of subtitle enthusiasts and volunteer translators who share a love of movies. Furthermore, these organizations make it their mission to guarantee that creative products such as movies, videos,... are arts that reach as many people as possible.
Each film should be available in multiple languages to ensure equality among people, let alone increase comprehension. Those that actively take the trouble of translating subtitles into many languages are doing a fantastic job. This demanding labour is routinely performed with no reimbursement. These superheroes deserve all of the credit in the world for devoting their free time to ensure that everyone can watch and enjoy meaningful movies.
However, as I previously indicated, there are a number of subtitle sites to choose from. And, just like any other form of a website, not everyone is created equal. Of course, this is also true of the site's layout, how the content is sorted, how the forums and discussions are handled, the customer support process,... There are, however, a few more extra factors to consider and you will have a better idea about them through this review.
Today, I want to introduce you to a subtitle website where you can find and download many movies’ subtitles including some of the latest ones, the blockbusters or your old classic favourites. The site I am referring to is Subtitle Seeker. Is it as good as it claims? Let’s have a look at it in this review.
Price: free
Design
Subtitle Seeker is one of those websites that doesn’t have an in-to-your-face or complicated design, it is a very straightforward and easy to navigate website. Its main colour theme is blue and white with black text.
At the top of the homepage, there is a big site name and its tagline defining what the website is about. Right below it is the menu bar with 5 links to its homepage (Home), subtitles for TV and web series (TV/Web Series Subtitles), subtitles for movies (Movies Subtitles), Updates about Bitcoin and NFT (Bitcoin Finance NFT Crypto Updates), Subtitleseeker. I find the latter 2 links are quite unnecessary and irrelevant to the website. Why would someone want to know about the crypto updates when searching for subtitles?
This site is quite simple, scrolling down, it just has about 261, at the point of reviewing this website, a list of movies’ subtitles and that is it about its homepage. Each subtitle is listed without indication about its languages or any extra data for easier browsing. I think this site only provides English subtitles. There is a little Read More button and if you click on it it will direct you to its inner page where you can download your chosen subtitles.
Inner pages
To be honest, the information and texts are layout quite messy and carelessly which is quite disappointing. There is a small section where you can read about the movies’ details such as release year, its length, movie genres, directors, writers, casts, the movie’s summary. Following the movies’ info is the instruction on how to download the file. All the text on this page is aligned in the middle which is a very bad design.
The link to download is written in bold red and in .srt or zip. The creators also summarise some information about the file you are about to download including but not limited to the language of the subtitles, what is translated in the file if the full movie is in the link,… On this inner page, you can see a list of the site’s contact on social media, which is, for me, badly located because this information should be on the homepage for easier access. You can also leave a comment here in the section down below the contact information.
Since there is no information about the total number of movie subtitles are uploaded on this page, I am not sure about its database. However, based on my experience, I estimate the sites’ content is not that many as there are 168 pages of Movie subtitles and there are 12 movies are listed per page. So in total, there are only 2016 movies are subtitled on this site, which is significantly less than other sites like OpenSubtitles. The TV and web series section is even less than the movie section, it has only 90 pages and 12 movies on each page, making it 1080 subtitles each.
Ads
If you have read my review so far, you may have reckoned that Subtitle Seeker seems to not be created to help the subtitle community but for AdSense profit. You are right, there are many ads on this site like you will be redirected to another website every 2 clicks, which is so annoying. Although I completely understand that because the sites offer subtitles for free ads is the only revenue for them, I still can’t tolerate the ads because Subtitle Seeker doesn’t offer good service.
Negatives
The website’s design, although minimal and easy to navigate, is not effective and lacks a significant number of features that are important to browse subtitles easier, such as filter, sort,… The texts are also badly displayed due to middle alignment. The next negative thing is the ads. They appear every 2 clicks and that slows the user experience down. Lastly, the site lacks a sense of community, perhaps this is the reason why there are not many subtitles here on the site. It would be better if it has the function for users to upload their own subtitles.
