Almost none of the interesting titles are available. When you click on a Movie or TV show title, the message Subscribe to Watch is displayed. The crooks at Bell want you to pay an additional $10 per month to buy an additional HBO or Starz subscription. Crave is a carefully planned rip off. I'm going to back to Netflix.
I got the free trial and coudn't cancel it without emailing customer service. So I emailed them BEFORE the next month was charged and they still charged me for another month. When I challenged this, they stopped answering. I obviously didn't watch a thing on that service because they don't have one single good show without the extra subscriptions. Don't bother with that service and don't even try the free trial, it's bit worth it.
I am checking out Crave TV. First and foremost, the audio is awful. I invested in a great surround system for a theatre like experience. I seems Crave does not stream 5.1 surround audio like Netflix does. Until they do I will staying with Netflix.
Personally i really like all of the content that crave has to offer, i really hate using their website. It is SO slow, it ALWAYS crashes and signs me out after every episode... like what bull$#*! is that
Their website is full of bugs, I got a membership a few days ago and watched the first episode of Game Of Thrones, not without difficulty, since their site was impossible to use.
And now, even almost a week later, its absolutely impossible for me to go and watch anything on there! Their site doesn't even work, all the videos have errors, the page is glitchy and keeps refreshing for no reason.
$#*! this website. I'm gonna unsubscribe right now and get my money back. DONT SUBSCRIBE.
I have an addiction to seeing the point of view of detective rustin cohle smash his way through the disregarded south... I wanted to watch it in full except that crave...even after subscribing...wont let me. I get the same screen every time prompting me to subscribe even though I just have. Wow...pathetic...good shows...bad service... severely disappointed in the ability of the service to ACTUALLY FUNCTION and let me watch my show after I have subscribed. Cheers
The charge a full year with refund I never asked to be put on a renewal. I call as soon as I saw the charge they refused to refund me and said I have to pay for the entire year, a service I never used. Very rude on the phone too. It's a racket and they are like mobster stealing money from people.
Canada Crave is trash! They will charge you over $20 a month for Very poor quality and unwatchable service! Stick to Netflix or Destiny Plus. Because they don't give a $#*! about you. Except your money. $#*! you Canada Crave!
I signed up for Crave and actually really enjoy the variety and content. Unfortunately, I spend part of the year in SE Asia for work. When I was away and tried watching it an error message stated I was outside of NA. When I contacted the call centre I was told it doesn't work outside of Canada. I asked the woman at the call centre where she was. It turns out she was in the same country as me! I guess it's ok for Bell to have a call centre in the Philippines, but not ok to service their paid customers there! BTW, my new Canadian Netflix account works fine there!
I cancelled my subscription before my free trial was over because of the terrible user interface and lack of development going into the app. You couldn't even fast forward, select an episode, pick up where you left off, rewind, etc. But they still charged me because I didn't cancel 48 hours before the trial was over... which was apparently their terms and wouldn't refund my money. So I got charged for another month $20+ and didn't watch anything, I made sure I cancelled fully. I just got hit with another payment today for $10, which is the price of just Crave without HBO. I had previously confirmed full cancellation of my subscription, why am I still getting charged? They are crooks trying to scam you out of money and hoping you won't notice. No surprise considering they are a part of Bell. AVOID.
Cancelled my subscription almost a year ago, took me 3 mo this to cancel it cause they kept charging me, didnt get any money back and now charging me again, still wont give me my money back, telling me I have access til my paid month is over but cannot get on my account because it is cancelled, absolutely hate this streaming site
Pay 20 a Month for this janky service, unresponsive crap.
Somehow unlinked my account from my tv on its own and now won't display an activation code so I can Link it back up.
I hope a different provider picks up the rights to the shows I watch on crave, I would switch in a heartbeat.
The service was okay until it stopped working. The program just stopped loading and finally I cancelled the subscription. I would get billed even though I sent emails to right the sign in issue. I have had no problems with Neflix or Prime.
Totally frustrating experience. Keeps asking to activate my account. So I do, again and again. Tech support blamed Samsung.
Can't delete and reinstall the app on my Samsung TV. Resetting the smarthub solved nothing.
Just another example of Bells evil empire.
I signed up thinking more was included, only to find out you have to pay more for services... I cancelled within 5 minutes, only to find I will not be refunded. This is not good customer service. I will not ever use this service again. So in reality, bad customer services leads to further lost revenue. If I received a refund, I may have tried again in the future... now all hope for this is gone. Will not recommend or use the service.
Problems in point form:
-highest quality setting is 720p via the browser, unacceptable 1080p should be a minimum.
-Search function sucks, if you know you are looking for a title that is a documentary, you should be able to search only in documentaries
-There is no app for windows 10, unacceptable, if every other streaming service has it, so should crave
-price is too high. All I care about are the HBO shows, why can't I just buy access to those? It just makes this company seem greedy
All that being said, it's sad, because the content on Crave is amazing, but it is ruined by such a terrible service that makes it more convenient to just pirate what I am looking for.
You have the $#*!tiest way to set $#*! up. My poor mother has been trying to set your stupid $#*! up for over an hour. You have no problem charging her credit card for $#*! she cant access.
Maybe make the processes easier and you might still have customers after game of thrones.
I called on the may 6th with issue can't set up pay as you go card was on phone hour and half no resolve some to call me in day they din not still have not heard was given a number DSM-******* and ignored not Impressed with no response,
Horrible! Very glitchy, even though I have no issues with streaming on Netflix or youtube. Cost's a considerable amount more than netflix and now has a new feature of movies but to watch any of them it's an additional 9.99 a month or 99.90 bucks a year. For a few movies and some additional shows it doubles your subscription price. If it crashes (which it does a lot) if you were watching an episode it wont play from the one you were currently watching, but the one you started with when you started watching the show. Then there is no way to skip to the next episode like Netflix has with the skip arrow. Will not be renewing.
After a year of Crave I decided to cancel as I found it too expensive as you need to buy HBO package as well to make it worth while. I cancelled so I thought but apparently only cancelled the HBO package. I bought the Crave package for 1 year as it was cheaper than monthly. I soon realized a day after my subscription was supposed to end that it did not. I called Crave and they said they would cancel it and refund me the year subscription. After another month I did not get my refund I decided to call them. They declined my refund for the whole year. They didn't bother to tell me this. For being 1 day late cancelling I have to pay for a full year. Not just 1 month. BULL$#*!!
Answer: I would not recommend getting CraveTV. Their customer support and technical support as well as quality is not upto the mark to compete with other service providers.
Answer: Because they only offer the absolute bare minimum for a streaming service, I suspect the ONLY reason it has lots of subscribers because crave seems to offer more rare shows, but for a bigger price mind you.
Answer: Not unless you want to rip all your hair out. Crave has serious streaming problems and mostly you cannot watch it. And if you can the sound is all tinny and canny.
Answer: Absolutely agreed. 100%. Also, they have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Never give your payment information to ANY Bell Media company, because they will screw you. Contact the BBB to make a complaint.
Answer: You can't! In the settings online, there is an option, but it doesn't carry over to whatever streaming device you're using it with. Incompetent morons, owned and operated by Canada's leading internet service provider. And Bell Media wonder why people don't like them. My sister has a theory... that Bell keeps their website design backward and out of sync with current progress, so they have an excuse to charge you extra money for their incompetence.
