Crackle

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.

Too many commercials and they keep freezing. It gives the frustration of trying to watch a video with dial up internet in the 90s. Truly a stressful, unsatisfactory experience.

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.

6 commercials every 10 minutes, coupled with constant technical problems, With "uh oh, something went wrong, retry" popping up which doesn't work to continue watching.

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 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!=

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.

The same commercials repeat every 10 minutes. No variety just the same 5 commercials. And if you put it on pause, it goes backwards and instantly barrages you with commercials again. The same ones over and over. Oregon Water, stupid commercials with Shaquille Oneill plugging the General Insurance, Water Pic, Chicken soup for the soul, and more often than not, the same commercial will played back to back... twice in a row. Really bad. And it's too bad because they have some classic TV shows. But it's hard to watch this way, and irritating.

Terrible streaming service. Constantly freezes during the commercials (which there are alot), I have tried to watch Das Boot now about 4 times and I cannot get through the movie without it freezing up. Also, If you end up getting out of it, and then go back into it, it will take you to the beginning of the movie. This streaming service SUCKS. Good thing it is free. I will no longer watch it

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

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

Between the video corruption, tearing, and desync, and the unrecoverable playback errors, Crackle is worse than useless. I tried on Chrome and Firefox, on a hardwired connection to Comcast with a 500MB download speed test.

Whatever you are watching, find it somewhere else or buy it off of Amazon.

Streaming is erratic, freezes frequently, and has to restarted often during one episode. Worst streaming service ever!

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!

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.

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 love the movies. But I hate the Black Lives Matter commercial. Aren't they the ones that burned down cities, looted and destroyed property like wanton savages? I think it's a great disservice to run anti American propaganda over any type of media.

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.

Crackle sucks every movie freeze's halfway through done watching it I'll never watch again And you shouldn't bother either

They may offer some good movies but its not worth the aggravation of watching for 10 mins and then have 20 mins of commercials and frequently being kicked out and have to start over! Horrible- its not worth free if its a bad experience!

This is the worst ad supported tv streaming service. I just watched 6 commercials and then the program came back on for less than a minute and then was interrupted with another 5 commercials. All I have to say is WTF!

Watching a movie is a nightmare, it often freezes and one has to start over again, meaning from the very beginning of the movie because forwarding does not work. The only items that work excellently without problems are the many commercials. Worst streaming service that I know of.

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?
