Crackle

I have tried 4 times, 4 different movies and each time half way through the movies, the app freezes and I always get a message, " oh oh, something went wrong, try again" and to no avail, it never works, so if I reload Crackle and pull the movie up, you can't resume, you have to start over and on top of that you can't fast forward to where you were in the beginning. Complete waste of my time and utter garbage. Don't waste your time too!=

App was extremely frustrating and disappointing. WAY too many commercials and had to reset several times.
But even worse, the app would not allow for the final scenes of the movie to play. Can't wait to delete from my phone!

Why is it that everyone (and their dog) thinks they can develop a streaming app with commercials? Here's another one that fails miserably. Glitchy, slow, lots of buffering, lots of sync problems, just a rip-roaring piece of doo. Only reason I'm using it at all is that it's the only way I can watch the BBC "Sherlock" series. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

Does the business commercials paid for to Crackle actually believe that repeating them every 5 minutes will brainwash consumers into buying whatever is shown?
Does Crackle actually wonder why no one wants to peruse their app in that the app is more a app just for commercials rather than programs?

I put a show on that originally aired over 30 years ago, not some new "premium" programming, and these jokes served me literally 6 long adverts, all for reeses peanut butter cups, before Id even gotten thru the intro to the show. Literally 2 minutes in and they served a crazy number of adsverts. Get real. Im not watching this crap.
I could see 1-2 adverts, but 6? Give me a god damn break...

Have never tried Crackle before, never had a reason to but wanted to watch a movie and the only place it was available was on Crackle unless I purchased it. I got about 30 minutes into the movie on Crackle and ended up just buying it so I could watch it without commercials. They are CONSTANT. Seriously, like constant. And long. It literally felt like you watched the movie for about 5 minutes and then got 5 minutes of commercials. On top of that the volume goes up about ten-fold whenever the commercial comes on. I get that it's free... but trust me when I say it isn't worth it at all. This service sucks so bad.

I have had Crackle for about 5 years and have never experienced the problems that some of the reviewers have experienced. I think it's a good streaming service. Have not experienced any kind of glitch or problems with this service. I don't find the ads any worse than most others. I can recommend Crackle.

It's great to have a free option but they play waaaaaay too many commercials. It ruins the suspense of the shows and defeats the purpose of watching a show/movie anyway. The same commercials play over and over making me NOT want to use the services that are being advertised anyway. Oh and at least a third of the commercials are for Crackle itself. Umm, I am already watching you. What are you gaining from interrupting my show to tell me about you other than pissing me off?

I have a new Sony TV and Sony's Crackle service is almost unwatchable. The movie pauses, but the sound keeps playing. Alternatively, it just stops, pauses, restarts the movie or shows a streaming error. I have very fast Internet and no issues with any other streaming service. Crackle is without a doubt the worst streaming service ever

I enjoy seeing old TV shows I never knew existed. But the same ads over and over are excruciating. Walgreens ad plays over and over. About five ads total. Hire someone to get some more advertisers please. Hawkeye is a great series to watch. Too bad it was just one season. If you can't expand ad variety I can't watch anymore.

Every ten minutes are interrupted by four or five commercials which last two to three minutes. This means you watch eight minutes of movie for every set, which don't even have the courtesy to pop up during scene transitions. Often, it's mid sentence of dialog.

I opened a crackle account, but once the account was open i could not access a single movie, search engine always came up with zero results.
I was looking forward experiencing this site.
Sadly they have nothing to offer. There was no help after my questions why I could not find anything or play anything.
Everything I was informed about crackle was a lie.
Never again and avoid crackle.

I watch old sitcoms because they have good entertainment value and humor without the raunchy stuff. If crackle could pick up on what we watch and advertise shows that we may actually watch it would be less offensive to us viewers and more effective in accomplishing their marketing goals. One commercial for a crackle series said "I want to f#@! Your face." I may be frugal, but I will not tolerate such blatant disregard for decency.

Crackle was a channel I'd go to occasionally on roku. When I started streaming Netflix on my smartphone I thought 'y not add crackle to change things up from time to time?' - think again. I start watching movies fine then after the second or third commercial it jumps back to a previous point in the movie. Commercials I'm fine with as that's the deal but y don't they just fix this issue they're clearly aware of as others have complained about it online. Do the advertisers know it's happening? I hope not.

If your goal as an advertiser is to make viewers despise you and your product, then by all means, spend some of your ad budget on Crackle air time. The movie I'm watching seems like it might be okay, but I can't bear to watch the same 2 internet.org ads TWO TIMES EACH during the numerous commercial breaks. I saw 5 minutes of movie between the last two sets of commercials. I turned it off at that point. I don't care how the movie ends. I also feel intense irritation at internet.org.
