If you're a Gen X'er who grew up with Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Taxi and so many of these hard to find TV shows, then you're on the right spot! Only downfall is not enough variety in the Ondemand section.

A Pain in the $#*!!
January 27, 2023

It's not user-friendly at all. Once I searched for a show, I couldn't figure out how to watch it. I had to go online, but didn't get very much help. Once you start a show, you can't pause it, or stop it without shutting down the app; then when you open it up again, the same show is still there.
It's a nice idea, but I can't be bothered! I'll stick with Youtube Prime.

Just being able to watch shows like this is wonderful! We have FUBO, Apple TV (comes with a package my family has from Apple), Netflix and Amazon. I personally only watch the Inspiration Channel out of all those (I like Gunsmoke and Bonanza). I put PLUTO on one of our Apple TVs...saw Johnny Carson and that alone was worth the download. It is a free app, so I certainly didn't expect much. However after spending a bit of time looking through the selections of older shows, I'm impressed. Heck they even have a bunch of Elvis movies playing!

The WORST!
January 16, 2023

I defy anyone to get to the end of a movie without having to restart the movie ten times! I'd prefer you charging me for the service and making it a worthwhile app to use! What bull $#*!!

Please update Pluto TV
January 16, 2023

Pluto TV plays the same exact TV shows for one week straight without changing them so the news on CNN is the same news all week long it is frustrating when you're watching a news program let's say on Monday and you have to watch that same news program every day for two weeks same exact program please update the programs weekly if you can because it's really discouraging and makes you not want to watch Pluto anymore when you have to watch the same program everyday for 2 weeks or more it's always the same programs over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over please update the program daily if you can it would make it much better

Don't bother
January 6, 2023

The interface is terrible. Super wonky, it keeps jumping all over the place. The worst part is if you start a movie, watch half of it, then restart it the next day, it doesn't allow you to pick up where you left off, you have to start at the beginning including having to endure the entire cycle of commercials. $#*! that.

Trash. Skips in episodes to different scenes already watched, repeats the same commercial break back to back. Paramount+ pukes out the same 8 commercials for shows every time.

Worse ever
January 6, 2023

Can't watch or take anymore of it. Worse ever. Tried watching a movie. It kept jumping back to the beginning or the middle over and over. Could not get through the entire movie. When I traced back to where it jumped back from it would go straight to commericals.
Out of the 1 hour I watched 30 minutes were commerical. My time is far to important to waste trying to get through a simple movie. I wish I could give it a zero rating but that's not available. It is offical uninstalled forever. Bye, bye.

The title of my review says it all. Tired of listening to repeat back to back ads, on top of ads, and often a repeat of the same stream of content I'm desiring. Looking for a solid alternative.

Where's my movie?
January 4, 2023

Since Jan. 1st 2023, I've never seen so many ads. It's crazy. There's even more ads than cable tv, and that's a lot. Can't enjoy a movie with that many ads. I'll be watching elsewhere.

Failure to load
January 4, 2023

I attempted to watch a movie, Jay and silent bob strike back, and every few minutes it would start buffering and return to the point we last paused at, it would not even save that pause point unless we backed out and went back in. Continously interrupted by that same $#*! again and again. An hour and 44 minute movie turns into at least 2 and a half hours just to get through it before we even finished the thing. WORST STREAMING SITE EVER NEVER USING AGAIN!

Literally had to watch the same scene over and over because it kept skipping back to the same scene in the movie. And when I try to skip ahead in the movie to get to where I left off it doesn't let me because there's so many commercial breaks all showing the same 4 ads. I wish I could rate this 0 stars! I would cancel my subscription but I can't because it's already free (as it should be). Took us over 3 hours to watch a 2 hour movie because we literally couldn't watch more than 3 minutes at a time without a commercial & skipping back to the same scene. I don't have any more words for how horribly frustrated I am. Don't use unless you want to raise your blood pressure. Never even got to finish the movie because we turned it off and deleted the app. Never again!

Pluto TV is a joke.
January 1, 2023

TV and movies for free as long as you have absolutely no intentions of watching anything completely even while watching all their damn adds. Word of advice, run away, run away as fast as you can because this streaming service is not worth your aggravation.

RUFKM?
December 27, 2022

We have never felt personally offended by a content "provider" before Pluto TV. The same 2 "commercial sets" were aired repeatedly at increasingly shorter intervals during our attempt to watch a movie on Pluto TV. It was maddening and ruined the movie we wanted to enjoy. Drew Barrymore should seriously reconsider consider her participation in ads for Pluto. She can't be that desperate for the $$$. Had we been aware of their insultingly low opinion of their content consumers we would not have considered watching a movie on the Pluto platform...but we were somewhat curious. We will NEVER watch a show on Pluto again. Pay the $3.99 to watch what you want, when you want, in a decent format.

Pitiful
December 25, 2022

Absolutely pitiful. There's a commercial every 5-10 minutes. It is the same annoying commercials. And if you accidentally hit a button and get and get out of the movie/show you were watching you can't pick it up where you left off. You have to fast forward and watch the same 2 commercials every 5 minutes. We were almost done with a movie and it has taken us 20 minutes to get back to where we were at. Never using Pluto tv again. Would rather pay other companies my money than waste my time with pluto tv and let them make money off forcing us to watch all these ads. Wish I could rate this a 0/5
