This app NEVER works

This app NEVER works. Changes channels randomly.click on a show and something else plays. Programming is pretty good but it’s not worth the effort to try to watch anything. Been this way for years now so i guess nobody cares. It’s free so i guess they’re happy collecting advertising revenue and provide an absolutely unwatchable. Advertisers should be aware nobody’s watching the ads if you can’t get the programs.WHAT A JOKE!

Awful!

The single worst streaming service I have ever experienced. Constantly stopping, disengaging, pixelating, etc. I guess its true; you get what you pay for.

Fun programming...terrible podcast promos

The programming is fun and I get that ads are a part of the free aspect. However, whoever is producing those podcast ads needs to go. They are terrible. I come from a radio background and picking the best moments for promos is key. The obnoxious guys and now the annoying ladies complaining about inane things is terrible. These are clearly promos so you can run less of them if you choose to. Please do.

I completely agree with Pluto's 1-star rating = F. My favorite "Sunday Morning" on CBS starts at 6am in CA and I often oversleep it. Whenever I try to watch it on advertised Pluto, it NEVER EVER works, for years now! For example, today, Monday May 19th, it keeps shoving into my face some "Gain and Pain" - another criminal masterpiece, instead of Sunday Morning on CBS.

Complete joke

Complete joke. Been screwing around with this channel for 25 minutes now and only managed to watch 3 minutes of the programme. Why does pressing ANY button at ANY time completely $&@) everything up? You have serious problems here. It’s free and still it’s not worth it!!

They have the series “Cops” I absolutely loved it as a kid and they stopped making more episodes. I don’t think any other streaming service has cops on it. Pluto is free and airs it 24/7. Yeah it has some adds but that’s what u get when ur getting to watch free tv. All these people giving negative reviews because of commercial are delusional or never watched cable in their life.

Absolutely horrible app.

Absolutely horrible app.

Cant even fast forward or rewind without absolute chaos erupting bringing you 30 minutes foreward in the film, pausing and playing at its own volition.

If I could give 0 stars I would.

I was watching a movie tonight and this is the second set of commercials with 22 commercials!! I've experienced times where there is maybe seven at the most but this is ridiculous! I hope this is just temporary. Something needs to be done about this.

Almost, but not quite ...

Pretty good content, but the streaming servers appear to be programmed by 3 year-olds. It's ostensibly a lucky dip system, so you pick a series, select an episode and click on it, only to be greeted by a different episode. All very frustrating, and a shame, because it could have been quite good.

Repitition of ads and station i.d. is aggravating

Pluto carries some shows I really enjoy. Like "Catfish." However. I get so frustrated by the constant interruption by station identification and the exact same commercials, over and over again, that I usually bail on my show before it ends. I get so irritated I end up angry. There's no pleasure to watching Pluto. Fix this!!

Pluto TV use to be our go to on the weekends. Hate YouTube TV because of ridiculous amounts of commercials, but since Pluto was purchased, it has been destroyed! 9 freaking commercials every 5 minutes of a movie. How sad something that was so good is now worse than YouTube TV.

Getting worse

Getting worse. Content is fine, it's the actual stream that sucks. Now, the channel guide will kick you out if you don't decide what you want to watch within about 10 seconds.
Their "support" says the same thing over and over: check your internet connectivity, restart your device, make sure you have the latest update, blah blah blah.
It's not our Internet, it's not an update issue. It's simply poor management of the application.
Free shouldn't equal poor quality. If you can't do it right, don't do it at all.

Pluto TV is the most poorly ran business I've ever ran across. You have a buffering problem but rather than fix it you just add more channels. You play the same ridiculous commercials over and over and over. And all of your black only channels are racist. If there was a white only Channel or an Asian only Channel there would be riots in the street. I can't wait till a business comes along that actually does a good job and puts you guys out of business. You know what's wrong with your business you don't care
