Once on You can't get out
December 13, 2016

Each time I tried to use Crackle and decided to exit, it will NOT STOP!

I have to pull the plug and wait a bit and then reboot to get back in Roku.
Absolute garbage!

It is deleted from my programming. Advise people to avoid the Crackle site.

I used this app a year ago and just starting using it again and the same glitches and errors remain. If you try to resume a movie it will keeps skipping back
To a precious chapter and continue to glitch and keeping looping a segment while replaying the same Ads over and over. So basically this app is broken. Also, Analog stick doesn't work for menu navigation. Video description pop ups and covers everything on the screen. Junk app. What a shame.

No.

I used to like Crackle, but it's horrible now. Don't tell me to not complain about ads when the site craps out constantly and when you reload or rewind, they just keep showing you ads over and over. Just don't! No.

Crackle
November 25, 2016

Crackle is a great app for your phone it has great movies for free to watch and some great tv series, i just feel like they should add better movies and series. They mostly old movies and animation, not really into some movies they have available but i have watched a couple of great movies. But yea they should upgrade more

But it does. It was a great family experience because even the people who never agree do agree that Crackle is CRAP.

It does make you wonder if the advertisers read the reviews... if they do and keep advertising on CRAPLE then they must really hate us.

I wish I could think of something witty that would make people avoid CRAPLE but I think it destroyed my brain.

I wouldn't mind the commercials so much if they didn't play THE SAME ONE SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW! Then, the next commercial break, the same commercial AGAIN! Oh, look, a different one! Then, the one I've already seen 15 times... AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! I would much rather pay to watch a movie than to have to endure the torture of repetitive commercials! Goodbye Crackle... I'm deleating you from my streaming channels...

It's Free Movies
October 3, 2016

Stop complaining about the ads. It's free. Which means you pay them nothing. Which mean they don't make money from you. They make money from ADVERTISERS who pay Crackle to show those ads. Ads are the price you pay for this free service. Use your brain. It's called business.

My issue with Crackle is their TERRIBLE Xbox One app. Not only do I occasionally have mid-movie crashes, rewinding and fast-forwarding also cause the app to crash. This app is useless and only makes me want to pursue these films by other means. Fix it. Other than that, Crackle has limited selection, but usually watchable films. Fix the app issues on Xbox One and they could make a lot more in ad revenue.

Repetitive commercials
October 1, 2016

The same two commercials, over and over and over again and again and again. What kind of business model is that?

Shows what happens when money is allowed to be dumped into a movie with no plan of action.

Crackle Sucks as a Streamer
September 16, 2016

Why so many commercials over and over and over? Adam Brody should move Startup to a premiums channel since it is too high quality for a low class streamer like Crackle. Even a regular network would be better since the show is that great.

I am trying to relax and watch a movie, i just had surgery on my wisdom teeth and i want to enjoy a movie. Well the ADS are REPETITIVE and sometimes they will repeat the ads over and over and over and over and not play the DAMN MOVIES! I have had to sign out MANY times and restart a movie because the ADS won't stop playing. I have the stupid ADS stuck in my head. I have been trying to watch this one movie but the ADS played for 20 DAMN MINUTES! OVER AND OVER AND OVER! So guess what, i had to sign right back out and start over again! I enjoy when i can watch a movie, but when the ads take over and won't let the movie play, that's when i rethink the stars i should give "CRACKLE"

Not even hi-definition
August 24, 2016

It's like renting, no wait, WORSE than renting a 480p DVD.
Commercials? Really?
Screw it, not worth it at all.

As I wrote above, don't waste your time downloading or even trying to make an account. With tons of commercials every 10 mins that last up to 2 mins. It's not worth it! I played it on my Xbox one and it kept buffering and skipping so much! It kept cutting off parts of a movie. It was horrible. Thank goodness I didn't pay to have this $#*!.

Banner ad on my Roku for the movie Jarhead get Crackle. I added the channel and guess what? Searched and no Jarhead movie. Stuff is free but most are outdated and while you're watching it it suddenly starts over from the beginning after commercials. Yup.
