Pluto TV: Watch & Stream Live for Negative User Reviews
✓ Hmmm...People are saying this is better than Netflix, well that’s from what I got from a dam Instagram post, I though this would have technically everything Netflix has but without signup but it just has some movies and stuff, it’s a great idea to have movies for free but without sign up, I hope in the future there would be some anime :))))).Version: 5.2.5
✓ App sucksApp as always kicks you off and usually near the end of the shows when the plots is being revealed. Great show selection but so very frustrating to not see the end of shows on a very regular basis..Version: 5.48.1
✓ Does not detect chromecast.Have tried everything they suggest on raw and more. Can never see chromecast that is visible in all other apps.Version: 5.48.1
✓ Can’t chrome castCan’t chrome cast.Version: 5.48
✓ TV App UnstableThe TV app is very unstable and keeps exiting and going back to regular TV I have to reload it about five or six times for one hour show..Version: 5.46
✓ A lot of buffering on Apple TVGenerally, I like the service and content but I pretty much only watch on Apple TV and there’s a lot of buffering when you start the app or change channel. There’s normally about a few minutes of stuttering and blank screens before it gets into it. Once it’s working though, it’s great. (For the record, this doesn’t happen on any other streaming apps, my broadband is more than capable).Version: 5.27
✓ Pluto odd stuffPluto is a great idea but some bits of the system are quite simply annoying. First I’m a life time Star Trek fan and Discovery was a great show but the odd idea of having it some days is very irrational as some of us can’t make it. The second thing is that the guide doesn’t work on iPads or iPhones. The travel bar from time to time does not go beyond 2 hours so I cannot find out when progs are being run. Put in a keyword on Tuesday like Star Trek doesn’t go to anything. Third thing, none of the episodes have episode numbers. Fourth thing, emails to any of your links don’t get replies not even thanks we’re get back to you Please get it right Rant over.Version: 5.17
✓ We’re having problems with this titleYes I know your having problems with this title. I’m not one for downloading these kind of apps as they are complete crap most of the time or they don’t work properly. Pluto tv if u like that type of thing and have the patience then feel free but if not just don’t bother ur not missing anything exciting….Version: 5.15
✓ No streaming available. Pointless.Wont detect my chrome-cast in the “stream” button. So you have to “watch TV” on your tiny phone. No thanks..Version: 5.48
✓ I just downloaded this because of Instagram adsHey I just downloaded this app because of the ad on Instagram so I wanted to see what it was like. Overall I like the content there is a wide variety of shows and movies and they have old shows like fear factor that aren’t available anywhere else but a lot of the shows and movies are available through regular cable which is nice I guess if you don’t have cable. I think you guys should change the layout of the app it’s very weirdly laid out and then when I was looking for movies and tv shows there is no search bar so the only way to look up movies and tv shows is via genre which I found very tedious and annoying because I wanted to see if you had specific movies and or tv shows like wipe out but I can’t look it up the second problem I had was when you open the app it takes you directly to the live tv but when I want to watch movies and or a different tv show on demand the live tv noises are still in the background while I am looking while xfinity or any other app usually stops the live show while you are looking for another one. Sorry for being too critical but this is a review it is a pretty good app it just needs a lot of app adjustments just to make it better..Version: 5.2.5
✓ UI/UX on App Needs Serious WorkI really enjoy using Pluto Tv, I use it on a regular basis. But the app has not user friendly. There is no way to return to last watched show as there would be on any remote or cable-like streaming service (and Pluto is supposed to be mimicking cable so why can’t I swipe right for last watched show?). I can’t reorganize my favorite channels so it can be in numerical order or any order I want it to be in. And the app crashes all the time, either the show will suddenly stop playing and I have to close the app and restart it it’ll take forever to load and then I have to switch to another channel and back for the show to start playing again. The hour long shows manage to end like 44 minutes with 16 minutes of staring at a blank screen and that is…not great. There are some significant challenges with this otherwise great app and I hope y’all start working on them..Version: 5.28
✓ Very repetitive…Hey Pluto - love the free viewing and great old shows BUT it’s very very repetitive… same episodes day after day… never seems to change. Some of these shows have hundreds of eps - why replay the same ones all the time? I’ve already stopped tuning in after only a couple weeks… sorry, nice idea but failed execution….Version: 5.28
✓ Good with the bad.Want to love this app and I do like it. BUT I would be happier if it didn’t freeze all the time when I try to select a show. Once it finally starts playing a show, it usually plays fine. But quite often it takes multiply times opening and closing the app to get it to “start/begin” a show I have selected to watch. Happens frequently and definitely almost always after each new update. For example. Did an update today and I have opened and closed the app 5 times. It is playing the regular broadcast, however when I select something on demand, it freezes and won’t begin, and then nothing on the touch screen will work. The app just completely locks up. So I have to close it out and reopen and start all over again. 😖 As I said, when it’s working I love the app. Just wish it worked all the time..Version: 5.41.1
✓ Barely anything on there.I got this app from a link in the bio of an instagram account thinking it would be decent but it was awful. There is barely anything in there. No search bar to look up movies or tv series. I thought this would be better than it was, there are barely any channels or box sets and nothing that I’ve heard of except my5 which is channel 5 on demand and all they were showing that I knew was police interceptors. I don’t recommend it at all.Version: 5.1
✓ Decent selection, ads are ridiculousSo, the selection of things to watch is ok. There are a good amount of TV shows and movies to pick from, and the fact that it is a free service is great. The problems arrive with the advertisements. I get that a free service needs ads to survive, but there are so many of them, and so little variety. I watched a movie that was an hour and a half, and another 20 minutes were added with unskippable ads. The worst part, however, was the lack of variety of ads. There would always be 4 ads. The first ad, without fail, was ALWAYS a Geico ad. It picked between 3 different ones, but they got annoying fast. The second ad was always an AWFUL ad for DirectTV that would be the same one, every time, every ad break. The third ad was one of 2 car commercials. The final ad would actually change a little bit, which was nice. The ad breaks, however, were programmed into the time slots of the movie though, so you better not rewind, because if you rewound past where the ads were, guess what? Time to watch them again, so you better not miss any of the film or want to go back to another part. Overall, this was a mostly negative experience, and I will not be using this app again..Version: 5.14.2
✓ Ok BUTWould be great, except for the fact that it seems like there are 15 minutes of commercial breaks within one viewing hour! Which is fine if you like, watching lonnnnng endless commercials. I on the other hand avoid adverts like the plague! So I think I’ll be sticking with Prime. Even though I pay for it, at least I don’t have to watch these ridiculously long and incessant adverts..Version: 5.27
✓ Schedule navigation is bonkersProgramme content is great but the schedule and navigation is absolutely useless. Doesn’t seem to be any easy way I can find to simply search for your show and see when it’s on live TV. Just watched Star Trek Discovery ep one more by luck than management as it happened to air at the time… episode 2 followed immediately after, but it’s not convenient to watch it now. When and how I will find it again is anyones guess!!??.Version: 5.14.2
✓ No way to stop streaming + content hard to browseThis app is so badly designed. There is no way to stop the live video stream playing. There is also no way to expand the area that the schedule is shown in on the right because the left menu does not collapse. This also applies to the on demand lists which are shown in a tiny area. Even turning the iPad into landscape mode doesn’t make the area bigger. Rubbish. Such a shame because the concept and the content is not bad..Version: 5.26
✓ Same shows, same commercialsI thought this was great at first until I really started to watch. It's all the same shows just on a loop. I can't count the number of times I've seen the same episodes and the same movies. I've actually found myself watching less frequently and I have several different channels saved as favorites but it's all the same over and over again. The commercials for the channels show better movies than what is actually played. When's the last time you showed Red Dawn? I've never seen it. But I've seen Chopping Mall about every other day. I wish you actually played the movies you show in the commercials. But the main reason I've been watching less is the commercials. Talk about a lack of variety. For the love of God get some different commercials. The same ones played every commercial break over and over before I just turn it off. How many times do I have to see the same political ads, the same Siesta Key ad, "Thank about what I saw!" or the Hills"I want to forgive you and I want to forget you." The repetition is enough to drive you crazy. The same ads played over and over again on every channel. If you offered an ad free version for a few bucks I'd almost be willing to pay for it. Almost. That doesn't solve the problem of showing the same episodes and movies until I can recite them. Miss a movie? Don't worry. It will be on again tomorrow or even the same day on a different channel. And the next day and the next day..Version: 5.4
✓ “Not available here yet…..”Saw the advert on TV and decided to download the app to give it a whirl. Despite advertising on TV ‘in my region’ and being available to download I the App Store ‘in my region’, the app just doesn’t work here. Upon launching the app all I see is a black screen with white text saying that that it isn’t available here yet. Can the developers please add the Channel Islands into the supported zones as our programming is the same as the UK!.Version: 5.34
✓ Worse app ever…make sure your volume is off before openingWhen the app loads it immediately starts blaring some random program. Worse, there’s no option to pause or stop it from playing. Genius…. I just love when streaming services take my choice away. Exploring the selection of programs I found the quantity disappointing and couldn’t find anything that wasn’t already offered on other free services. The navigation isn’t intuitive and when I did eventually find a pause option (on the program I didn’t choose) it eventually started playing again while I was searching for something else. Clearly, Paramount felt the need to compete in the free streaming arena, but didn’t want to make a real investment, so some exec asked his high schooler to throw something together. This definitely has the feel of someone’s school project, with no real user testing. After an annoying 20 minutes I finally deleted the app. This is a zero star in my book..Version: 5.42
✓ Ok App but content on some channels in high repeatI have the App on our IPhone iPad and FireTV stick. My big complaint is that it doesn’t have same channels as USA version (no CSI Vegas) and the CSI Miami and New York only have 3 seasons which constantly repeats. That marks them down 1 point. Box Sets work but unlike other Apps the App doesn’t remember what you last watched so YOU have to! That makes them down 2 points..Version: 5.30.1
✓ Bring back the channel numbers!!!Previously I would have given this app 5 stars. I wrote down the channel number (for instance, #549) and the channel TV show (for instance, Blue Bloods). I had a list of channel numbers and shows, so different channels were very easy to find when you need to switch channels and watch a different show. BUT, in a recent update, you got rid of channel numbers, and so it becomes more difficult to find the channel you’re looking for (for instance, #1005 - Jeopardy). That’s a useless step backwards, in terms of ease of use, and it doesn’t accomplish anything - a bad move, with nothing positive!!! Also, limited number of episodes, so you end up seeing the same episodes on a frequent basis!!! Other than that, I like Pluto TV. PLEASE BRING BACK CHANNEL NUMBERS (and give us more episodes for shows such as Blue Bloods)!!! P.S.: You STILL don’t have the channel numbers for shows posted, so if I wanted to watch more than one show (switch channels), it would take WAY TOO LONG to find out what shows are on (remember, to quote you, you have “250+ channels). Therefore, I will be deleting your app. You POINTLESSLY “screwed up,” absolutely pointless business stupidity!!!.Version: 5.39
✓ Please help?Trying to get into the app, not a tech geek by any means..had look online for any ‘reasons’ that the app just doesn’t come through... when I press app on icons on screen, it just comes right back to my home screen. Tried deleting. Re got the app from App Store. Instead of saying ‘GET’ it gave me that cloud-puff-thing’ which I pressed, it came back on my screen as an icon, but the same exact thing happened when I pressed to watch. Nothing is working at all. Off subject, one thing I’d LOVE to see to binge-watch over and over was actually advertised as already being in Pluto tv (my main reason for the initial download) was SOUTH BEACH TOW. Once I’d downloaded it wasn’t there and I was disappointed..that was short-lived because I found so much wonderful things to watch in there, I have raved about it to people... maybe they’ve all gone in and got it and now there’s none left for me!! PLEASE can someone get my Pluto TV working again, and then bring me SOUTH BEACH TOW?? PrettyPlease! Developers? Any out there to help? Thank you in anticipation!.Version: 5.17
✓ Good content but repetitive, ad heavyI appreciate the range of shows, but they repeat a limited number of episodes instead of playing entire seasons, and most of the shows were on the air for years. Also, while this is a free service that relies on ads, the frequency and number are disproportionate to a 20 minute episode..Version: 5.48.1
✓ Just need chromecast and its a 5It just need Chromecast support and it would be a 5 stars for me. Just read a review about someone insulting other commentors because of this. I will not go as low as him and I will just say this: Watching TV on other devices. specifically TV, is very important for a lot of people. Some invests a lot of money for this. So. yes, it's a very important feature to provide. The fact that it's free doesn't change the fact that this feature is lacking. But, without that lack of feature, it's a very good app that deserve more recognition. I'm sure we will see it implemented one day. :-).Version: 5.35
✓ Many issuesWhen this works i love it but theres too many stupid issues like i will be watching a channel and the voices go really deep like there talking in slow motion ,also i will be watching married with children and and all of a sudden the the shows thumbnail or whatever you want to call it just appears on the screen while at the same time the show is running in the background minus the visual,also i will be watching a show and during the end credits ads will start playing then after that it goes back to the credits,why cant pluto have ads where they should be,at the end,ads just randomly placed here there and everywhere.Version: 5.22
✓ Unhappy PBR FanI was thrilled when they announced that Pluto TV was taking over broadcasting the PBR events for free. That happiness did not last long. Instead of the live broadcasts of the Unleash the Beast events we are only getting the rebroadcasts of the CBSSN version of the live events. They are not live, they are not the actual event but the CBSSN short version of the event. Boring, no excitement and you have to figure out when the event will be broadcast since Pluto must have to wait until after CBSSN airs the event before. Pluto gets to air it. So an event that was live on a Friday is not available ( as close as I can figure) sometime the end of the following week. So you know who won, what the scores are and who didn’t ride long before the event airs. I miss the fireworks, the rider introduction, the National Anthem, the arena announcers, the anticipation of the ride, the arena entertainment and the fan of the night award. PBR is not just line up the bulls, open the shoots and watch the ride. It’s getting to know the riders, the bulls, the atmosphere- none of which are on the CBSSN version..Version: 5.12.1
✓ Some good some badGee whiz.......STILL waiting for “customer support” to get back to me on the few simple questions I mentioned below. It’s been 2 weeks now? Think their lousy “support” practices is their weakest link? At this rate a one star rating could be generously too high. Yeah...good shows and movies.......BUT……HOW DO YOU REMOVE A CHOICE FROM “Continue Watching?” I watched a bit of a few movies. They were bad. So I stopped watching, removed it from my watch list.....and there it sits in “Continue Watching” list. I DONT WANT TO KEEP WATCHING IT! There is no button to remove it from that list. Watch 50 movies.....will be 50 movies sitting in the list. So you have to see the movie to it’s end and be sure it is off your watch list or something else I did and it finally goes away. But a “Remove from continue watching” button would be great. Finally.....customer service? “Contact Us?” Ha! They send you the cut and paste response of how they will get right on this for me and my wishes are important to them.......then they never get back to you. NETFLIX THEY ARE NOT......just wannabes. For this, they get a one star rating because I can’t give a half star rating..Version: 5.12
✓ Ok but not great.I signed up on the computer using google but the app does not have a login with google option so I had to setup another account using just email. Favorites in the app or in the web browser do not stay as favorites. No favorite recall menu. Video and audio glitches all the time. Commercials are not synced with shows and cuts off important or suspenseful parts. I use the web version and iOS app version and have the issue on all 3 of my devices, iPhone, iPad, and Windows Laptop using Google Chrome. I love the app but the MANY technical issues are almost not worth it. I am not sure how old this app is but live streaming has been down to a science for many years but these guys don't seem to even see that bar. Have been using it on LTE and Fiber backed WiFi at over 50Mbps down 30Mbps up both scenarios with the exact same issues. The iOS app version also appears to reset itself mid stream in an attempt to catch up but then skips parts of the show or will back track to a part that has already been shown and then skip forward again and cut more stuff out. The whole Pluto TV service needs work. A lot of work..Version: 4.2.2
✓ Wide Selection But Poor PerformancePluto has quite a selection of channels covering all kinds of genres; documentaries, sitcoms, music, classic TV, as infinitive. So anyone should be able to find something entertaining to watch. Yes there are commercials but hey, it’s free so I’m not complaining. Picture quality is good; clear and generally colorful. Menus a fairly easy to navigate but could use a feature to save favorites. The reason for the three stars is the poor performance. I’ve been using the Pluto app on both my Apple TV (hard wired) and my iPhone (WiFi and cell). On both devices I get lots of freezes and dropouts on all channels. Some channels have them more frequently than others. Very rarely do I watch anything without at least one issue. I can watch 4K streaming through other apps so it’s not my connection. Summary: If don’t mind some freezes and hangs then you’ll be happy with this TV source. Otherwise, until Pluto gets those problems ironed out you’ll probably be looking elsewhere rather quick..Version: 5.15
✓ Downright horribleWait I can’t give negative star reviews? Whatever. This app is horrible. I never bother to give app’s reviews. But this app is so downright terrible, that I just had to. Just try watching, I dare you. Ads with interrupt you every corner. And the same ones too. I now have a Pavlovian response to fear the music of one of the commercials because it comes on so often. Paused a movie and want to come back to it? Well that’s wishful thinking, you will be met with tons of ads and the wrong place you left off. When you try to fast forward to where you where, then you have to wait ten ads later to get to it. Oh by the way, did I mention the forward and backward button doesn’t work? Yeah I don’t know why they call it that, it’s just ad button. If you press it, not only do you get ads, but it also doesn’t move you anywhere. I want a cut of the 50 dollars they have probably made from me watching one movie. 90% 10% movie Oh by the way. I’m writing this review during one of these ads, because how dare I try to go 15 seconds back. And there is more than enough time to Write a review during these ads.Version: 5.11.2
✓ Serious bug!The app appeared to be working fine and I was reasonably satisfied with content available. However, I noticed an issue whilst casting to a Chrome device hooked up to the tv. Whilst adjusting the sound, I noticed the audio level shown on the tv was fluctuating up/down. So I disconnected from casting to see if reconnecting would sort things out. The app on my iPhone then became unresponsive and I was not able to shutdown the app. In the end I tried a hard shutdown which seem to shutdown the app rather than the phone which was fine. Won’t be using this app until the next version has been released..Version: 5.29
✓ No choice of languageIf you go overseas the app is useless. I understand the channel list might change, but even when the majority of the shows were originally recorded in English there is no way to change the settings to a language I understand. If you are planning a foreign vacation or business trip, don’t rely on Pluto TV to entertain you whilst in your spare time..Version: 5.28
✓ I like the concept a lot, wish there were better things to watchI watched Holy Motors then Ghost World. After Ghost World ended, the application asked for a review. I gave Pluto tv three stars because it lacks many things I’d like to see. If Pluto tv could afford stuff from film festivals, I would much appreciate tuning into Pluto tv more. Lesser aired, not well known stuff many people would not know otherwise would be great to see. I don’t get to know a whole lot about obscure culture because of my reclusive (inadvertent as my positioning may be) way about life, but love to find art… …does that small stain on her dress in the third scene refer to… …mathematically near perfect or perfect triangulation of history, science, weather, and hair etcetera to tell the story of the debunking of… in part one of the series, part two released in advertisements not as a part of the sequence offering an example of 21st century new age story telling that has no disparaging reference at all, keying in on life in a land a true God everyone would love lives. Yep, perty much..Version: 5.13
✓ Needs workBecause for one, the ads are too much! In a half hour episode of on demand tv show. You get about almost 15 minutes of ads!! Even regular cable doesn't do this!! Once in awhile the ads interrupt the show in a the middle of scene or conversation! When looking for a station or movie to watch. Their player insists on be on while you look whether you want it to or not. Plus, as others have stated. It's the same four or five ads every single time. So, that gets boring. When you pause the show then go back. Yup, have to watch the ads instead of where you left off in show! Also it seems like they stream the same episodes of a show all day instead of changing it up. Then I've discovered that sometimes in the Christmas movie channel They have the wrong title of what is playing. Now, for the good! First it's free! Then, it's even better when you make an account. Because you can save your favorite channels and on demand stuff, so you don't have to keep searching for them. The PIP works well on iOS. They have a great variety of retro shows n movies as well as their channels! I enjoy that I can just channel surf(in a sense) turn on something like the Perry Mason channel or Happy Days to leave on. So, overall it's a nice app, just needs a bit of work! Thanks guys!.Version: 5.19
✓ SoundEvery time the adds finish so does the sound 🤷🏼♂️. If steaming I need to change channel then back to get sound back or if streaming on demand I have to wait till 40s has played then skip back 15s to get sound back . If I skip back before 40s have played it puts me back in the adds then back to no sound. Has anyone had this problem?.Version: 5.14.2
✓ Cool, but not great…….So I made a review before and got no response… it doesn’t really matter but it feels like no one reads these. Anyway I wanted to talk about a couple of things, so for starters, you tv shows are super outdated. I don’t want to get another streaming service, pay for it, just to watch a show I love because you guys aren’t updating it. Another thing, so I have a Tv and it has Pluto tv on it but it isn’t demand, so I air play it to my tv, but so in a episode or a movie, every ten minutes, a couple of seconds repeats and repeats and repeats until I have to turn the airplay on and off again. Another thing, when it isn’t demand at the end of something, it says “we’ll be right back” for a really long time, once it was for 30 minutes! Well if you actually looked at this please take these concerns to heart cause this would be fantastic if you guys would fix these problems. Update: thanks for reading my response! I just wanted to clarify “Preston and Brianna” isn’t the only show that is outdated. Just wanted to tell you!.Version: 5.33
✓ Why I don’t like this appI could only find tv shows that were really old. No anime’s and barley any cartoons. Really not what I wanted or looked for..Version: 5.49
✓ Some good, mostly badFirst the good: - It’s free. - Features some shows and movies that may be out of circulation on other streaming platforms. Okay, now the bad: - The navigation controls are worse than useless: they actively don’t work, and when you get bold enough to try and use them, they jump you to a two minute block of advertisements. Then, if you’re stubborn enough to try again, you will be taken to— the exact same advertisements. VERY frustrating. - This app allegedly has chromecast compatibility, but I dare you to try it, especially with a movie that you already started. IF it connects to the chromecast, it will reset to the beginning and you will lose your place. “What’s the big deal?” you may ask. Well, as previously mentioned, the navigation controls don’t work and will only plug you into an endless cycle of repetitive ads. Even more frustrating. Overall: I can accept advertisements on a free app, especially when it has a movie I really want to watch. That’s the business model, I’m not complaining about that. But I expect the actual app itself to WORK. You can go ahead and try this app, but I’d recommend only using it to have something on in the background that you’re not really paying attention to. If you’re trying to watch something, you’ll be bombarded by ads, and if you’re trying to find a specific spot in a show or movie, well… don’t do that. The app will punish you for that..Version: 5.17.2
✓ Please add more seasons of South Park!There is only seasons 1-21, please add the rest!.Version: 5.34
✓ Starting to slide down hillWhen I first got this app on my TV it was pretty good. However I have had it for about 10 months may be longer and it’s getting worse. The movies and shows rarely change so I’ve pretty mcg watched everything I got it for a few times now. Also the last few weeks it keeps freezing and crashing. You have to shut it down and then reload it. It also has terrible timing on commercials, like mid action scene or sentence and it just freezes and cuts to ad and if you’re lucky it starts back at the same time of not you just missed crucial scenes? Lately it also just cut out of a scene and into another one sometimes minutes past where it was and you completely miss things. I get that it’s free, but have some respect for yourselves and sort out the quality and continuity of your shows and commercial timing or you’ll lose advertisers who get half a commercial shown and viewers who just can’t do it even if it’s free?.Version: 5.38.1
✓ How To Restart Episodes From The Beginning ..?!!??I have been constantly having this same problem from the beginning which i downloaded this App over a year ago. I can’t restart episodes in the Free Tv and Movies Section. Even if the episode ends and runs all the way it will not restart. All it has is 15 second rewind and 15 second forwarding which is also not working properly since your newest update. It’s not possible to restart a full episode or pull back with the status bar. Most episodes I am unable to watch over again. There seems to be either an update issue or a function issue because this particular issue has never had a proper function. PLEASE HELP ! Your App is awesome but this particular issue and function problem is very problematic. I am using an Apple iPad with the latest ios software. I also could find where to email you my issue so unfortunately I had to write you in the review section. Thank you.Version: 4.4
✓ Ads ads ads ads ads ads — and non-stop streaming problemsMake no mistake: PlutoTV exists solely to show you ads. Programming is secondary, and although there are some decent shows, they’ve obviously assembled the least expensive collection of programs and movies to pad out their ad breaks. A 2.5-hour movie contains a full 30 minutes of ads. And if you switch channels, beware - they’ve padded each break with extra time, so you go back over and over again to the same ad before you’re allowed to resume the actual program. Episodes of shows are very limited, and they have been airing the same episodes of all their shows since the site was launched. Most programming can be found elsewhere. Their ad-sales goals are too ambitious to be able to actually deliver the programming: I have not encountered a website with non-stop buffering in a decade, but here is PlutoTV, struggling to air their programming effectively, regardless of how sophisticated your devices or Wi-Fi are..Version: 5.26.1
✓ Good free service but no Chromecast?Not gonna complain as this is a 100% free service with some quality content. But why no Chromecast support?? Is there some technical issue preventing this? Very strange decision to not have this (extremely basic “feature” for any streaming app)..Version: 5.48.1
✓ Stay in your laneUPDATE: Stay OUT of political issues! I get so sick and tired of seeing companies push Black History month, Pride Month, etc but they remain silent on other issues. STAY IN YOUR LANE Pluto and quit appeasing only select groups. Not a smart thing. | I have used Pluto for awhile now and love 💕 it. I watch it frequently for TV and on demand movies. The recent update had been a big step up 👍🏻 but still not able to sync user account and favorite channels between iPhone app and my Roku Ultra 4660. I even emailed support about it and just got a link to page about which Rokus are compatible sent to me. 😒 I know it's compatible & have it connected, but this has been an ongoing issue that needs addressed. It would be great if favorite channels synced between where you access Pluto & if we could put the favorite channels in the order we want. Hope to see this fixed soon Thanks 😊.Version: 5.48
✓ Service is crap, app is worseYeah, it’s free, so I shouldn’t have expected much. Neat idea to come up with binge watch channels, so if you want to watch Star Trek or COPS all day, go for it. Unfortunately, the service is just too unreliable. It skips and stutters, stalls, replays the same 5 seconds a few times, and eventually the app just gives up and closes itself. Restarting the app often gives an error to retry because it couldn’t connect, even though the show is playing behind the error screen. I’ve tried it on an iPad Pro M1 using the iPad app and on a Chromebook using the web browser, both at home and at work. Pretty much the same experience, although oddly enough the Chromebook performed slightly better (maybe because it was using the web page and not a broken app.) It’s impossible to watch anything without the stream just quitting several times during an episode of anything. I’ve had issues with the app since iPadOS 14. I am now running 16. The ads are ridiculous. It’s like they scooped up the ads that were too over the top for late night TV, and repeat them over and over and over. I’ve seen the ad for Judge Judy 6 times in the past 25 minutes. I guess it’s better than listening to the moronic Baby Mamas or the “get cash now” ad with the talking bear..Version: 5.23
✓ Overall is good, however is uncomfortable to useI came to this app only for the anime and have found one that I liked a lot (and couldn't seem to find anywhere else!) and it’s the only reason I continued to use this app. The fact that this app is completely free is amazing. However, if you aren’t a very patient person then this app isn’t for you. There are a total of three ads, each 30 seconds long at least (they are unskippable) showing up together 3 times throughout a single episode. That’s 4:30 seconds worth of ads per episode. Yeah, that’s a lot. Another issue I have with this app is the programming of it. Seriously, hire some real programmers that actually know how to make apps. Not only is the app glitchy by itself, the “forwards” and “backwards” buttons don’t even work! You could press on them forever but they wouldn’t move the episode even a second forward or backward. If you by any chance had had to unfortunately miss some part of the video then fear not: all you have to do is replay the episode from the very beginning and watch all the ads again with it (I know that sounds very exciting indeed!) . So to summarize it all: don’t use this app if you’re impatient and don’t use this app if you get distracted easily. That’s all from me. Hope the devs will fix the app someday!.Version: 5.3
✓ Add more Channel in frenchHi the app is very good a lot of choice in english but please add some Channel more in french because a lot of people in Québec Canada want more in french thank you.Version: 5.49.1
✓ Brilliant BUT major bug...At the outset I love Pluto TV—great, if not perfectly quirky channel lineup, top quality resolution, super brilliant stuff. But it only works in the morning for me. By the afternoon the channels won’t load and the main screen is just black and divided into the usual channel/programme categories, but with no content. I’m sure it’s a weird bug that’ll be fixed soon tho..Version: 4.8.1
✓ MisleadingThey advertise shows that are NOT on the platform (All in the family).Version: 5.31
✓ UghAbsolute nightmare if you have ADHD and / or Autism. Very busy layout with live tv playing the entire time you try to find something to watch. You can’t even mute it, nevermind switch off. Even with my phone’s sound off I was still extremely distracted by the moving images and could not even get to the stage of finding something to watch. This app drives me into overwhelm and anxiety less than a minute in..Version: 5.42
✓ Chromecast IssueCan’t seem to castor airplay to my chromecast Gen2, I have all the permissions set on the google home app and the pluto app as well so not sure what the problem is. Love the free shows and movies though..Version: 5.48
✓ Used to be goodOk not going to dis this that much as i have been an avid viewer for ages. Until the last update has been running perfectly … now it glitches cuts off audio and visual don’t match and worst of all it has started to buffer … no not my internet provider connection or wifi as everything else works perfectly and i have run the tests. Just some advice Pluto from a fan … why change what USED TO BE the best streaming app for every tv show/movie/everything you have ever wanted to watch ? … how bad do i feel … i just downloaded my5 🤢… plz fix whatever you did to mess up a brilliant app/streaming service PLEASE.Version: 5.26.1
✓ Incomplete TV show seasons.It’s great that Pluto TV is free & brings back old shows, but it skips many episodes of & doesn’t show complete seasons. There are many shows that have characters that were badly cast, & to have to see them every scene starts to make my stomach churn. The ones doing that bad casting should either have been fired & replaced BEFORE the first episode or told to make better choices or be fired. There were so many of them with crazy unknown names, homely faces, & no acting skills. To make a long story short………The episodes that finally had good looking actors that can act are skipped through & many not shown. In the meantime, we have to suffer through ALL the episodes that have “actors” than make you sick. Why is that? If you are going to have a TV show on your app, at least show ALL the episodes of all the seasons. Many of us may get sick looking at the characters being played by Hollwood’s worst in the beginning episodes, but at least we will be able to look forward to seeing GOOD ACTORS with good looks in the following episodes of complete seasons until the end of the last one. STOP SKIPPING EPISODES & start showing complete seasons!.Version: 5.48
✓ App needs work(See title). There are a lot of functionality issues with this app. It looks like a clean app, but once you start casting shows (which is all I’ve tried to do, and should be functional after casting has been around for nearly a decade) come this issues. Numerous times, I’ve tried casting a show. Once your phone screen locks, there seemed to be no way to pause the show that was playing, as the app would no longer let me connect to the tv (or insisted I was already connected), and the only way I could figure out to get the show to stop playing (apart from waiting until the end of the episode, where it would automatically disconnect) was to turn off my TV and wait until the episode had finished. I then, in my frustration, downloaded the app for my smart TV, which might be better! But, I’ll never know because there is no search function, and I don’t want to spend 25 minutes maybe finding the one TV show I’d like to watch..Version: 5.20
