Have an issue "Can't Log in on This Device" and after 10 Days still not Resolved. I have paid for yearly Subscription with 3 Months left and can't get them to assist with resolving issue. Worst Customer Service I have ever experienced.

Happy days

I searched for a particular sitcom series (Happy days) and was glad to see it was available on Crunchyroll. I instantly paid for a premium subscription of Crunchyroll, but after paying the subscription, i was extremely disappointed when it said, that it was not available in my region. I immediately canceled my subscription.

I paid for ad free why am I still getting advertisements from Crunchyroll about Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll used to be a really good app, until about 8 months ago where they rolled out a change where they started placing previews at the beginning before your show would play. In these previews they're advertising the same old shit that they already have pop-ups on the main screen of their website for. I do not give a mother fu** if it is skippable why the f*** am I still being subjected to ads when I am paying for ad free. According to Crunchyroll it's okay because it's not a traditional advertisement. It doesn't matter ad free it's ad free.

I think somebody should start a class action lawsuit against them for this as false advertisements why am I paying money to see advertisements from the place I'm paying to stop seeing from

there staff and leadership are greedy misers

Their UI is truly a pain, though still a lot better than HiDive... the real reason for this bad review is their leadership and staff don't give a hoot about their customers or their service, only the $$ they can get for their trash service that could very easily be 5 stars if they put in any effort. For the past several weeks they have had broken releases... new releases showing as out but not there for up to several days... it's a waste of money. DO NOT SUPPORT THESE GREEDY MISERS.

App just flat out doesn’t work

App just flat out doesn’t work on most devices. The buffering and lag is insane. It doesn’t matter what WiFi you try, what settings you use, or how low quality the show you’re trying to stream is you will not be able to finish an episode without several bufferings and lag.

Selection and quality is great and all but none of that matters if you can’t get through a single episode uninterrupted. It’s obnoxious enough to keep me sticking to other, free-er, means.

Very unprofessional customer services

Show items for sale on their website. But when you order them they just hold your money for around a week and then issue a refund with NO explanation of why. My son has tried to order the same item 3 times as he really wants it. But they just refund him every time. Whats the point?

Negligents

They consistently deduct the monthly fee from the wrong account, even though I asked them several times not to do so and gave them the correct bank account details.

I noticed a recurring charge

I noticed a recurring charge from them, attempted to log in - no success. tried to reset password, never got the link to my email. reached out to customer support via chatbot then connected by chat to agent. got a runaround related to credit card and profile. they tell me they don't have an account so therefore they can't cancel me. reported them to credit card company. scam artists.
