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...

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

Don't bother
March 14, 2023

Crackle isn't worth the 2 syllables it takes to pronounce the word. I'd give it no stars if I could.
Too many commercials and lousy streaming.

Yikes! No good.
March 10, 2023

Crackle is frustrating and plays commercials while show is also playing AND it stops and forces exits for no reason. Not Worth the hassle.

First time user
February 23, 2023

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.

Never finishes a movie
February 8, 2023

I can watch all streaming networks but when I try to watch Crackle, the movies never finish. Always a problem. Never again.

Good channel
December 29, 2022

The shows are excellent, but I'm very surprised when a Christian organization allows ads where a woman's breast is practically hanging out of her shirt. Very disagreeable.

Great Streaming Service
December 18, 2022

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.

Crackle commercials
December 15, 2022

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?

BAD APP
December 10, 2022

CRACKLE APP CONTINUES TO FREEZE THROUGHOUT MOVIE. MY OTHER STREAMING CHANNELS WORK WITHOUT ERROR. BUT IT IS A DISAPPOINTMENT TO WANT TO WATCH A GREAT MOVIE FROM THE PAST AND HAVE THE MOVIE FREEZE. I RESTART AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES IT FREEZES AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WITH ANY MOVIE WHEN STREAMING FROM CRAKLE. I GUESS I WILL DELETE THIS APP BECAUSE IT IS WORTHLESS. I HAVE A STRONG INTERNET CONNECTION AND I DID RESTART MY TV TO SEE IF IT WAS MY CONNECTION. BUT SADLY IT IS THE APP. BYE CRACKLE!

Way Too Many Ads
November 22, 2022

I am a sci-fi geek and learned that Salvage Marines could be viewed on the Crackle App. I could hardly bare 1 single episode. The ads were so frequent and long that I couldn't even enjoy the show. There has to be a better way. I refuse to use the App until changes are made.

Waste of time
November 10, 2022

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!

Crashes constantly
October 24, 2022

Wow. I can't get through a single movie without it crashing at least 4 - 6 times. And each time you restart, you have to fast forward from the beginning. Unwatchable, really.

Very problem prone
October 5, 2022

I like the movies on Crakle, and even don't mind the commercials. But there are so many transmission problems I get aggreated and go to something else. I often have to exit the app and restart the app and whatever movie I was watching. I seldome get to see a movie all the way through.

Too many commercials
September 21, 2022

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?

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.

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!=
