In coming is a service outage alert!

Is Viki down, not working or app/website not letting you login? Please be informed that the service is seemingly going through an outage in some regions which has got affected users to route to micro-blogging site Twitter and other online discussion platforms to highlight their concern.

Take a look at what some of those affected have to say:

Viki is having a log in issue again. Can y’all just let me binge watch just for once on my day off??

Yesss with me too!! On the site, I try to log in, but it doesn’t sign in to my account and it’s taking too long to load. I’ve closed the page and logged in, but it’s still the same again :(((
