I am giving Pluto tv 3 stars because it does take a while to load the channels, and it does have some programs I don't like, and the app may be broken 30% of the time. The things I like about this streaming service is that there are good programs I like, They have few ads, and they have great shows. 7/10, I recommend this service if you want decent programs and few ads.
The only thing I don't care for would be the dumb podcast commercials. Also everytime I open the app it has to ask if I want to sign in. If I haven't signed in the last 200 times why would I want to now? Otherwise Pluto has programs i enjoy.
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.
Seria conveniente poder ver todos los capitulos y temporadas, cosa que no sucede. El apartado ON DEMAND funciona como le da la gana y no permite poner las sèries que te interesan. ALTAMENTE MEJORABLE.
Je trouve ce site "bien", mais trop de coupure surtout dans les séries ou l'on se retrouve sur une autre série a la reprise et dur dur pour reprendre (il faut revenir a "continuer a regarder" pour bien reprendre la suite!!! sans compter les meme pubs !! JE SAIS QUE C'EST GRATUIT MAIS QUAND MEME UN PEU D'EFFORT POUR SYNCHRONISER LE SERVEUR.... MERCI!
While Pluto tv works great on my smart tv it’s continually a problem on my fire stick . No no other app troubles on fire stick so u can’t blame it on my device , connection or other crap listed in trouble shooting guide. Ive tryed everthing and each & every firestic its the same problems . It automatically opens to a set chanel not the recent watched. It takes forever before i can even change the chanel.
I gave Pluto TV a 3/5 and here is why:
It is a great place to watch free content but the problems are these:
1. There are way too many ads
2. Very laggy.
3. Randomly takes you to another show.
Niveau propositions de films/séries, ça va.
Par contre, la fréquence des publicités c’est franchement infernal ! 100x les mêmes pubs, plusieurs fois durant un même reportage, c’est beaucoup trop
The programming is fun and I get that ads are a part of the free aspect. However, whoever is producing those podcast ads needs to go. They are terrible. I come from a radio background and picking the best moments for promos is key. The obnoxious guys and now the annoying ladies complaining about inane things is terrible. These are clearly promos so you can run less of them if you choose to. Please do.
What are you gonna do some of that “boxing” you’ve been doing (eye roll)
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.
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!
Tout d'abord j'aime la diversité des programmes il y en a pour tous les goûts documentaire , films , series etc... Mais par-ce qu'il a un mais😉 je trouve dommage que vous mettiez toujours les mêmes sujets ou les mêmes épisodes (comme blue blood par exemple) du coup comme je sais que c'est toujours pareil et bien j'arrête de regarder et c'est bien dommage car si vous changiez un peu les sujets ou bien les épisodes je continuerai à regarder. Alors essayez de faire un effort de ce coté là ça serai super sympa 😉.
