I like some of the channels

I like some of the channels, however they push way too much liberal ideologies and left leaning programs. They also dont provide equal amount of conservative programs. Disappointed.

It's free, but please make it easy to see the credits

It's free, so points, but I just hate how it cuts off films abruptly at the end and I can't find out how to navigate to see the credits. Jeez, let us sit for a moment and absorb the film. And it goes right into some other film that I didn't even choose. The commercials also cut in right in the middle of scenes.

My review is not about the free…

My review is not about the free channels I get (I love them!) but the “commercial” we’ll be right back. I work in an ENT office w/ Audiology who sees more Vertigo patients than anyone. I don’t have vertigo, but that “commercial” is definitely not necessary and I can’t even look at the tv when it’s on. Motion sickness for sure. Would you be willing to make it a little more solid than spacelike? #AskingforEveryone

Get your act together

Altho' it offers a good selection of movie/tv content, the erratic, schizzy nature of the platform's technical setup is enuff to make me want to throw my cellphone at the wall. I HATE how it stalls, buffers, refuses to allow forward or rewind or behave in any way but primitively. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, MR ELLISON. You have the money so spend it on proper maintenance of your platform so customers who are inundated with profit-generating ads can enjoy using it.

I've used Pluto with both Firestick and Roku and with both, Pluto will automatically change the channel back to whatever channel I watched previously. Its quite frustrating. Also, it rarely remembers what i was watching and the ads are so repetitive. I like the show options, but as a service, if it wasn't free, I wouldn't pay for this frustration. Its why I canceled Crave TV. It was too buggy and a terrible user interface. 2 reviews in one

This is ridiculous

This is ridiculous. You have to sit through 5 sessions at a time of Pluto tv graffix shooting over the tv screen. 1 commercial but 5 different runs of the same thing.

Pluto and CBS are crap

For all the crap commercials on Pluto you would think the clowns at cbs could get an app to work. Worst ever app and company. If they charged CNN+ would have more subscribers. Free is too much for this crap.

Sick of inappropriate commercials

Sick of inappropriate commercials. Sick of trying to watch a family program and getting stuck with disgusting, immoral, abhorrent commercials for adult programs. Pluto TV just plain stinks! It's not even worth it for free! Would rather pay for commercial free content elsewhere.

Use Pluto with Roku stick

Use Pluto with Roku stick. Frequent auto change of shows, total pain to get back to show I was watching then 14 commercials later I can find the point where it changed shows. Also unlike the 4 other streaming channels I use Pluto can't seem to remember what I was watching so it takes me to Moesha or some other show I never watched.

Pluto to Paramount Sellout-Pimp Out

I cut my cable a few years ago because I can't stand all the liberal BS. I am an old white man, and I can see them clearly trying to push white people, especially white men, right out of media and advertising. So, if they want to get rid of me, I just boycott them on my TV. So, I'm down to streaming just the shows that I want to watch. I found a few on Pluto--Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, Laverne & Shirley--but every time I start to watch one of these series, it seems like Pluto pimps me out to Paramount. Suddenly, what I have been watching for free on Pluto is no longer available unless I want to pay for it on Paramount. Unfortunately for Paramount, I already have to complete seasons of all three on DVD. It's just easy to call them up on Pluto instead of going to put in a DVD. Also unfortunate for Pluto, because I don't appreciate being pimped out with the bait-and-switch crap that tries to milk me out of money as they take away what I'm watching on Pluto for free and try to charge me on Paramount. They can both go out of business and die as far as I'm concerned. American culture is essentially dead already. We're just waiting for it to lie down so we can cover its ugly face with dirt.

Whoever designed your app should be friggin ashamed. What a piece of shit. Buggy, laggy, the selection is meh. I mean they're free movies when you can get the pos to play. You'll be reading a description and it closes the menu back to whatever it defaulted to playing. Not worth the hassle. GARBAGE.

Commercials ruin it

I love the choices. The quality is great. Good streaming. But lately i see 2 or 3 minutes of show and like 5 minutes of commercials. They are more then the show. Its ridiculous. To the point that i just shit it off and go back to you tube
Yah pluto is great but no thanks. All the commercials ruin it for me.

Somewhat unhappy Pluto TV user

Every time I put it on it's always cutting in and out buffering, repeats. A lot of times it'll just stop for what seems like minutes.Too frequently pop up saying "we're having trouble playing this title" Frustrating and annoying when I'm trying to watch listen or want to hear something. Reminds me of back in the day physically adjusting the antenna trying wanting it to work right 🤬
