Great Site, horrible ads.
December 20, 2022

The site is great but the ads are awful, repetitive and incredibly annoying. I haven't ever been to a channel broadcasting on TV or live streaming that has been doing nothing but playing the most grating repetitive commercials. The obnoxious South Park ads going: " YOU'Ve BEEN PLAYING RED DEAD REDEMPTION?!?!11 " and this sperg from some funniest video compilation show going: " BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZZ " over and over again like a child.
If there was anything more annoying in life I couldn't name it.

Tried to watch a movie. The thing kept jumping back to the beginning or the middle over and over. Could not get through the entire movie. When the movie did play, they had the same commercials every five minutes. We will never watch Pluto again...the worse ever. I wish I could give it a zero rating but that's not available. The movie was "The Santa Suit". We still haven't seen the end. We just couldn't take it anymore!

God awful app
December 10, 2022

Excessively long & frequent advertising breaks along with the app repeatedly sending me back to random midpoints in the movie make this app a gigantic POS.

Binge watching an old mystery series and every 3rd episode will get you in about 15% of the way and then just keep reverting back to that starting point after every commercial break you never get to watch the end of the show.

So repetitive.
December 7, 2022

I like Pluto TV but really, ten times of one episode of ANYTHING is exhausting. It's the same stuff over and over and over. I get that that is all they are able to do but it sure makes for a super limited experience. I wish they could air a series in its entirety, but no, I guess it doesn't work that way. You can love it, but you're always going to leave it sooner or later.

Error prone mess
December 4, 2022

I can live with commercials, but the controls to move through the video are horrendous. Glitches all the time. Sends you back minutes instead of seconds. Won't let you move forward at all. Just not worth the effort to watch something.

If you miss something you just miss it, because you can't pause, rewind, or fast forward, nor record, like old fashion TV, which sucks. There is also too many ads and every 10 or so minutes you might get the dreaded "PlutoTV will be right back" screen and it last for several mintues. Why do you need so many channels of just one show like The Love Boat and Gunsmoke? Why not just put the whole shows on there like Hulu and Netflix do and not take up so many channels? Because there could be channels like the thriller channel showing old thriller shows, soap opera channel, western channel, etc that show shows in the category rather than just one.

Also no original content, makes the app much less appealing than other free streaming apps. I do like that it has old shows and movies and it has music video channels, other than that, it's a pretty simple and pretty lame app. Add the rewind, fast forward, and pause and record, and it would be MUCH better.

The repeating of movies
November 27, 2022

I see Pluto TV has a new category of movies which is good my thing is why do y'all keep repeating the same movies and also the shows. Hey can you update your cartoon classic to a more better variety of cartoons besides Popeye

I put the show I like to watch at about a 14 and then the commercials come on and the volume doubles. Its time to use another app that is more customer friendly. They are now asking me for a proof of purchase? Why would I pay for this nonsense?

I honestly could get by on Pluto TV without needing cable, Netflix, Hulu etc since I don't watch TV much overall. My only suggestion would be adding an option to make the font when reading the guide larger. I'm only 39yrs old but have a hard time being able to read what's on the descriptions. I kinda wish the layout would be a little better as well but again it's free and is a nice app. But please add a setting to adjust the font or increase it a little by default?

Pluto is free which is always nice, but the amount of ads makes watching the shows unenjoyable. My favorite movies turn into my least favorite 2-3 hours of the day. Some ads are ok. But literally every 5 minutes? Are you joking with me right now Pluto? Not only are there ads every 5 minutes, but they are the same repetitive ads every single time there is an ad break. Maybe if you want to make more money from ads create an atmosphere where more people will watch movies through your trash franchise.

Every single commercial break lately they've allowed the running of an ad by America First Legal (100% false rating from PolitiFact) spewing 100% lies. That's not responsible.

We actually liked Pluto tv because my children loved watching Nick Jr. But now all of the sudden it is unavailable. It was the only reason we used Pluto tv. We will no longer be using that app.

Pluto $#*!ing sucks. Cant fast-forward or rewind. Internet went out for a moment and couldn't fast track it to where I left off had to start from beginning I would not recommend anyone to use it. It's free but you pay with your time with the bs you have to deal with to watch anything.
