I am addicted. I cannot watch one episode. I have to watch at a minimum three at a time my laughter is so loud it sounds insane. The comics are great at improvisation and we get a glimpse of them as real people. I am just over chemotherapy treatments and this is the best recovery medicine in the world - for whatever "ails" you! Oh yea, the cars are super sexy.

THIS IS A MOVIE site that needs to upgrade everything about it they do not have the best of great movies, the reviews of a movie are not there you are interrupted every 15 minutes with a boring commercial movie sites need to concentrate on the best films even if there is a subsciption attached we would rather pay for quality at a low monthly price then get it for free and have to sit through boring commercials, boring ads this site needs an immediate upgrade.

Works for me
August 11, 2015

Guess I agree with another reviewer, the site does fine with no delays or breakup. It's not Netflix but very good for a free service. I'm going direct, from computer to Internet without any Roku, Chromecast or special apps. I miss a full screen, but smaller works fine on a large monitor. I have a slow Internet, about 15mb download. Since I like action movies, this will last for some time. Looked at some of the TV and they worked fine also. Crackle seems like a good site with many fun entertainment options.

This service proves the old adage that you get what you pay for it is true to the fullest extent. This is by far the worst piece of crap I have ever gotten for free. They should be put out of their misery. It is garbage.

Crackles navigation is horrible on the Roku 3. Before I can look over shows to watch, a movie starts playing & the navigation freezes up. It renders the channel useless to me.

After the recent update of crackle on my roku 3 I am so frustrated. It worked fine before this update. I will be Uninstalling if it isn't fixed soon! Update I have uninstalled crackle. Really don't need the headache anymore. Too many other options to choose from that work just fine without the hassle.

With your "revised" crackle channel, i have removed it from my roku line up. It is a terrible interface. You give me information I DONT want, and dont provide me with what I need to make my decisions.

You once had a chance, that was removed with new ridiculous new interface

Sucks
July 14, 2015

I go to the channel on my Roku and it shows an AD screen for a tv show and just closes and goes back to the main Roku screen! Very disappointing! Hope it gets fixed soon or I'm going to delete the channel!

Shamefully bad
June 26, 2015

After every commercial break it says "an error has occurred..." and boots me out. EVERY SINGLE COMMERCIAL BREAK... and there are plenty. I agree with others that even at free, it is way too expensive.

Can you go back to when Crackle actually worked because this update is really screwed. OR hire somebody that knows how to do their job. Crackle has become the worst channel on my ROKU. Maybe ask HULU how to do it since they have real IT people their.

It takes 3 hours to watch a 90 minute movie because not only are there so many commercials every 5 minutes, but the same 1 or 2 commercials keep repeating over and OVER! There wouldn't be even close to as many annoying advertisements if I watched these movies on TV.

If your goal as an advertiser is to make viewers despise you and your product, then by all means, spend some of your ad budget on Crackle air time. The movie I'm watching seems like it might be okay, but I can't bear to watch the same 2 internet.org ads TWO TIMES EACH during the numerous commercial breaks. I saw 5 minutes of movie between the last two sets of commercials. I turned it off at that point. I don't care how the movie ends. I also feel intense irritation at internet.org.

Crackle is FREE. If people are going to complain because of ads, then go pay Netflix, Amazon, etc. Plus, you don't have to worry about a virus. Thanks Crackle.

IT LIKE DOESNT WORK
March 22, 2015

^^^^^. That's it.'it shows me **************$382@3&383@3@&33$&38/@3$: ******* commercials but no show. The quintessential piece of $#*! app. Just stop. Go away. Shut it down. You obviously don't care and haven't tried to improve your app. So $#*! off. STOP RIDING SEINFELDS COAT TAILS. You aren't worthy. Quit your jobs.

I didn't have a problem with the commercials but once the movie came near the end it cuts off and no matter how many times i restart and fast forward and look at more commercials it won't continue in order to finish the movie... not worth it and that was one movie.

It sucks
February 20, 2015

Crackle was really good a couple years ago when I first started watching. But in the last few months I have been unable to get past the first commercial before the movie or show just starts over. I just deleted it from all my devices. Do not waste your time downloading this app it will only enrage you when you get involved in the movie. And then they play the exact same commercials at every break
