They have the series “Cops” I absolutely loved it as a kid and they stopped making more episodes. I don’t think any other streaming service has cops on it. Pluto is free and airs it 24/7. Yeah it has some adds but that’s what u get when ur getting to watch free tv. All these people giving negative reviews because of commercial are delusional or never watched cable in their life.
Genial für Läute die sich gerne ältere Filme und Serien anschauen. Mit der Werbung muss man nunmal leben. Wenn ich mir so anschaue was die GEZ finanzierten Sender für einen Schund anbieten….
Anyone can write a CrowdTrust review. People who write reviews have ownership to edit or delete them at any time, and they'll be displayed as long as an account is active.
Absolutely horrible app. Cant even fast forward or rewind without absolute chaos erupting bringing you 30 minutes foreward in the film, pausing and playing at its own volition. If I could give 0 stars I would.
I was watching a movie tonight and this is the second set of commercials with 22 commercials!! I've experienced times where there is maybe seven at the most but this is ridiculous! I hope this is just temporary. Something needs to be done about this.
Pretty good content, but the streaming servers appear to be programmed by 3 year-olds. It's ostensibly a lucky dip system, so you pick a series, select an episode and click on it, only to be greeted by a different episode. All very frustrating, and a shame, because it could have been quite good.
Pluto carries some shows I really enjoy. Like "Catfish." However. I get so frustrated by the constant interruption by station identification and the exact same commercials, over and over again, that I usually bail on my show before it ends. I get so irritated I end up angry. There's no pleasure to watching Pluto. Fix this!!
Pluto TV use to be our go to on the weekends. Hate YouTube TV because of ridiculous amounts of commercials, but since Pluto was purchased, it has been destroyed! 9 freaking commercials every 5 minutes of a movie. How sad something that was so good is now worse than YouTube TV.
Getting worse. Content is fine, it's the actual stream that sucks. Now, the channel guide will kick you out if you don't decide what you want to watch within about 10 seconds. Their "support" says the same thing over and over: check your internet connectivity, restart your device, make sure you have the latest update, blah blah blah. It's not our Internet, it's not an update issue. It's simply poor management of the application. Free shouldn't equal poor quality. If you can't do it right, don't do it at all.
I actually don’t mind the amount of commercials as it is free and I enjoy quite a few different channels while winding down in the evening. But the commercials are redundant and becoming so annoying I just cannot do it anymore. Especially the one about the podcast of guys. It’s stupid. Makes me never want to watch the podcast… ever.
It's like listening to an audio book with still shots from the movie. Amazingly all commercials play perfectly.
Pluto has an excess amount of commercials. Will never watch again.
You play the Fighter and the Kid commerial so much I decided to seek other entertainment...bye! As far as date of experience...you play the damn thing every commerial break!
Repongan de un carácter más variado si programación si quieren mantenerse en un mínimo de televidentes. Tienen un orden horario, repetitivo, casi ofensivo, llegando a repetir las mismas programaciones, en todos los canales y ni cambiar de orden, a parte de renovar contenidos con nuevos episodios de series y programas interesantes. Fíjense están cayendo en picado y malhumorando tanto a los televidentes, a parte de sus clásicos bloqueos de 00h.a 02:20h. Entre otros horarios. Si quieren sobrevivir... Planteenselo.
Ekstremt dårligt streaming tjeneste. Platformen er som lavet af en amatør. Jeg kan ikke forstå at danske selskaber kan annoncere reklamer og smider ud penge i en så dårlig tv sending. Den er nu afinstalleret for godt.
While I enjoy some of the free shows Pluto offers, it is by far the most annoying channel out of all the streaming channels on my roku t.v. the frequency of ads is ridiculous. There are many other channels that are free, yet they have double as many, if not more, ads than any other channel. It is SO annoying. Then you have to start at a plain screen that just says Pluto with annoying music and no count down timer or any indication of how long until the show comes back on. Iblike watching teen mom 2 or Jersey Shore family vacation, but the amount of show time compared to how many ads is ridiculous. I honestly hate it. It is ridiculous. They are one of the worst streaming channels I watch and if it weren't for liking some of the shows, I would never ever watch it. They need to chill out with all the ads. It's beyond ridiculous.
The company can improve by getting rid of it. Freezes up, assine ads, cannot sync to the correct program you want to watch. Another wasted product from Paramount, which does not surprise me. Their streaming is the worst out there. No customer service to speak of.
