This is a dog that needs to be put down! It has not given me the video I selected ever. Seems to have a mind, not grounded in reality, if it's own. Wonder what "it's" might be. Not worth having even if they paid me!

Don't waste your time.
October 15, 2022

Love the old episodes but... to much lag and screen constantly goes to the pluto screen the you are forced to reach the last 2 minutes again. Happens on every channel and at least 20 times a day.

I actually watch Pluto tv a lot, but I'm starting to less... I usually watch the crime shows. Forensic Files and 48 hours, etc, etc. But they NEVER! Show anything different!... I'll see the same episode 4 to 5 days after watching it. And I started leaving it on for the sound, until they started showing the most annoying commercials that nobody else shows. OVER AND OVER!... I know all women crap and I don't need to see a bunch of them doing it to convince me!... And as far as the people that love it and are telling everyone else to turn the channel if they don't like it, can bite me!... And I am turning the channel like so many others and might not be coming back. So if they keep choosing commercials (money) over people... Might not be anyone left watching, except for the die hard fans... And if I were young and hadn't seen all the movies and stuff they are showing and my family couldn't afford pay stations... I would probably give it 5 stars plus... I don't want anyone thinking I'm not a little open minded. But for me it's 2 1/2 stars.

Cant navigate
October 6, 2022

Cant fast forward... too many ads. Who is running this app? Ive tried to get to my stopping point but it wont fast forward. They dont remember where you stopped. There is no resume function. You have to start the mover over and let it play through.Its a waste of time.

The stations. Always freeze up and the video and sound do not match up, happens all the time and not just at my location, happens in several locations, and loss of the video feed that goes to a screen that just shows Pluto with some sicadelick screen. But it's free

Movies don't download and if you are somewhat lucky, they get stuck 10 minutes in. No remote control ability. Worst streaming out there. I quit even trying. O stars

Not too bad
September 22, 2022

Although it is cumbersome to get through the menu of shows they do have a good selection from old to new. The one of the bad parts about Pluto TV is the commercials for one. If you are watching a series you get the exact same commercials in the exact same order at every commercial break. Another bad point to Pluto TV is if you are watching a TV series there is no way for them to mark which episodes you have already watched it is up to you to remember what season and what episode you are currently at. All other streaming services let you know where you're at and let you start at that point without having to go through all of the episodes and seasons to find the one you were at.

To many commercials, the volume goes out every five mins. And the channel goes out every five mins also. Wish it worked better.

Commercials
September 13, 2022

Barely watchable due to commercials. The same commercials every time. Someone in charge (if anyone) should be forced to watch them.
I've never given a review before in my life.

PLUTO TV IS NOT USER FRIENDLY. PIP won't go away, the page is split in half with half a video up top and unreachable links below. WHERE IS THE NEXT EPISODE button? It wen't from S1E1 of Yellow Jackets to nicholos nikleby... I want the next episodoe of yellow jackets. One star for this interesting show, one star for 'free', and minus 3 stars for XS commercials while you wait for 'next episode" linke that never appears and minus one star for the split screen disfeature.

Jesus Christ!
September 7, 2022

Please stop showing the same D#m commercials over and over I don't mind commercials, butt please mix it up a little, When you show the same thing over and over whatever it is you trying to sell, I begin to hate it after 12 times seeing it. Like Cheri Beasley I want to vote for her now.

While some may find the shows old or boring, I have found Pluto to be very uplifting. I love watching the old shows from back in the day. The Game Channel is great as well as TV Shows and others. I don't think it's a big deal there are commercials, the streaming platform is free. Change the channel if you don't want to watch commercials. I see nothing boring about it. This platform saves you money unlike all the others. Add up what your streaming a month plus cable, it's ridiculous.

Love the programming, news, classic TV and movies, science shows, etc. But pluto TV is oversaturated with adverts. Many of the adverts are scams, such as non FDa approved health, weight loss, testosterone snKe oil always at a high price and AUTO SHIPMENt of their bad products. THIS IS WHY PLUTO IS PRACTICALLY UNWATCHABLE.

I can't even watch several channels because they cut out and buffer too much. It's a tremendously unreliable service. Also, they play waaaay too many commercials.

Pluto is a great idea, and at first, let me honest, it was THE $#*!! BUT whoever is in charge picks 2-3 REALLY HORRIBLE commercials and plays them on EVERY commercial break! Omg that crazy $#*! on the Carvana commercial, the lummiance within commercial with those seriously annoying women, omg we quit watching it about a month ago. We try here and there but you can only see the same thing over and over before you're ready to stab someone! AAAAHHHHHHHHH!

One sentence you'll get to know well " we're having trouble playing this title"
In the classic 30 minute shows you'll miss the endings because they were designed for 2 commercials at each break. But pluto uses 5 ads game shows you always miss the ending. I only watch three classic tv section because there they don't do it but every other section they do 5 to 6 ads. Yes it's free but is it worth your mental health. Also cnn and nbc never buffer but all the conservative news does constantly. Is free worth the frustration you get from same ads every 5 mins. It's up to you. Steer clear. The live tv is not live it's all prerecorded.
