Then return to the main screen, tap on the series or movie you want to edit and wait for the app to search for corresponding subtitle files. GMT Subtitles allows you to download subtitles files from Podnapisi.net, OpenSubtitles.org and other sources.

Once the search is over simply tap on the Download button:
