Trying to watch PBR Teams. 2/3 of the screen is commercial. You lose the announcers, don’t know the bull or rider and the picture is so small you can’t read the graphics. Turned it off. Ridiculous. I’... See more

The commercials are absolutely ridiculous! You get about 5 mins of movie, and 2.5 minutes of commercials! It's literally so bad I had to research how to give a review. So I could express how awful it... See more

I’m a retired ex-bowler and love watching bowling on TV. But the new CW format I watched today(Pete Weber Classic) wasn’t good TV. First the horrible placement of the person the classic is named after... See more

I'm sick of y'all canceling good shows like the legacy y'all always seem to want to cancel but it shows because y'all think they have bad ratings but yet they are fans like myself that love that show and how it end could have been another season

Extreamly Disappointed in the c.w

Your programming is what made the c.w. the show i watched every night. Now i cant stand anything on your network. Please get back to what made you different then every other crap channel thats out there. We dont need another reality tv show or the Conners even the sci fi channel sucks now. Need more shows like arrow or the flash. Or Super Natural. Its what made the network great. Until then youve lost a diehard cw fan.

Trading quality for cheap

The CW used to have great shows now all they are doing is canceling anything worth watching. The last straw fire me was canceling walker with jared padalecki.
I will no longer watch this channel. All they want is cheap foreign films and cheap filler programs. That's ok there is plenty other streaming services that there is actually quality content to watch. Canceling a successful show because they don't want to invest in quality shows and only want cheap shows will doom this streaming service.

Too many commercials

Picture quality and programming are wonderful, but the shear number of commercials will prevent me from watching any more of its programming. The commercials are relentless and repetitive. The CW app has more commercials than any other streaming app I currently use.
I understand commercials pay their bills but the volume and frequency of them are ridiculous!!!

I appreciate that it is free even to the extent that there is an extreme amount of commercials but when it just freezes during the commercials and you have to go back and hit resume 2 or 3 times for it start back over where the commercials started and yes watch ALL the commercials again it's exasperating and before you say it's my wifi no it isn't because this is the only streaming service that does it. So my 3 star is purely for the fact that it's free and I did enjoy getting to watch the new Walker

Love the shows on the CW but the amount of commercials is insane and the repetitive nature of them is awful! Please know I am not a complainer usually. But this is the worst out of all the streaming services. I understand this is a free service, and I thank you. But maybe this is something that needs some attention!!

Your app SUCKS

Your app SUCKS. I was trying to watch the last 2 minutes of the final episode of Walker that got messed up on YouTube TV. After watching BOO KOO commercials to try to cue it up to the end with your WEIRD scrolling bar, it kept leaping to the end and I had to cue up the show all over again and watch the damn commercials all over again! My son finally got it cued up with his lighter touch on stopping the scrolling. It should not be that hard! You suck! I deleted the app from my Roku.

Since the new owner of the cw has taken over the network hasn’t been the same. I use to watch the network a lot now only one show. As a viewer of the network the shows that brought me to the network like Smallville
The flash supernatural the vampire diaries the originals the green arrow I name so much more. You have taken the network and made it unwatchable I’m just one viewer just letting you Know how I feel about your network enjoy rest of your day.

The worse streaming app personal have endured. Adds are more then Freeby, Ruku, and Tubi by far. The app hangs and shuts down between episodes. There are no preview or trailers. This technology has been around for over a decade now copying a working shell would have been better then this app. Also the bandwidth is horrible as well which is likely why it hangs and crashes with the plethora of adds being crammed in to a hour episode.

The commercials will drive you crazy

The commercials will drive you crazy. First of all there are way too many and second they literally play the same commercial over and over again. Are they trying to make people not want to use their app?

You'll spend more time watching commercials than watching the program.
It's very difficult to watch more than a couple of episodes of a program before the constant commercials drive you crazy. They also ignore the natural breaks built in to the program to stop it just as something is about to happen. MADDENING!!!
