Its not good for anything on Mac at least. It just keeps loading and nothing happens. The app cant find anything. I love the idea, but it just doesnt work.

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

It works but only for TV Shows, though. So I am voting as a not a good alternative because Sublight could find anything.

What is Caption?

Caption takes the effort out of finding and setting up the right subtitles. A simple design, drag & drop search, and automatic downloading & renaming let you just start watching. Caption is multi-platform, open-source, and built entirely on web technology.

Caption currently uses 2 sources to gather subtitles (OpenSubtitles and Addic7ed). We're continuously adding sources, but the app's open-source nature also allows you to add your own when desired. This can be done in Caption Core.
