I do believe that Crave is a worthwhile service, for a short period. Unfortunately that is it, a short period. It's disappointing, because they do stream many good TV shows and a couple decent movies. But their inability to differentiate the English movies from French movies is truly a deal breaker. I enjoy both English movies and French movies on occasion having grown up with both languages, but the fact "The Battle of the Five Armies" is the title i click and then the actors begin speaking french is frankly disappointing. If this was one example, that would be fine. But seemingly every decent movie streams exclusively in non-english. That would be fine if you advertised as such, but is wildly annoying since you title the movie in English. This is a terrible service that does not warrant anyone's money, which is unfortunate as they do stream some decent films/TV. Purchase almost anything but Crave, as this is by FAR the worst streaming service I have seen.

Crave and hbo
February 22, 2025

Crave is garbage since Rodgers got involved and HBO can throw it in the garbage. Why pay to watch a free sitcom on a paid movie channel. There getting stupid and think it's are only choice. When I leave, I will never come back, f them, had there chance and want to screw me. Not happening. I have yo give a rating so it's a 1 star. I would give none if I could

Did I See This Before?
January 12, 2025

Please, show me another Harry Potter movie. Rocky, anyone? How about LOTR? Oh Jesus, it's Friends. Where are the first-run movies I might expect from a premium service? Time to cancel, I think. What a waste of money.

Don't waste your money
December 31, 2024

I've been paying $22 a month for a few years now, primarily for HBO and Showtime shows like Dexter New Blood and House of the Dragon. The rest of it is complete drivel - I don't think I've watched anything for 4 months. The same stuff is endlessly repeated and recycled and it's either nauseating woke programming or year-round xmas-themed romcoms. Ugh. I cancelled my subscription today.

En plus des délais de chargement trop longs, l'application affiche fréquemment des erreurs qui font perdre le programme en cours d'écoute ou qui bloque le passage d'un épisode à un autre (pour une série). C'est vraiment tout croche, utilisation frustrante. Le service à la clientèle est courtois mais ne résoud rien: 2 mois d'abonnement, 3 appels différents et aucune action prise pour améliorer mon service. Alors bye bye!

Waste of Money
October 30, 2024

I hoped to access movies I can't find on other streaming services, but was severely disappointed. Bell Media is too cheap to get full rights to the movies on their site, so many are only in French. They don't even have English subtitles. For an extremely expensive subscription (unless you want to watch ads, in which case, just go to Tubi or Plex), the consumers are given the bare minimum. I'm only going to resubscribe when the new season of Last of Us releases. It's not good for much else

Crave is the worst app to navigate. It's a whole thing just to find where you left off on a series. Half the time I get a random message saying I can't watch what I want to watch for whatever reason. Sucks big time.

Repeat programming
September 21, 2024

Is anyone else experiencing repeat performances of the Rocky movies on Crave through Bell? This is beyond ridiculous and if not Rocky the Lord of the Rings. Also HBO programming are documentaries I have watched several years ago and now Craves movies are making their way onto HBO. I do not have the app just service which gets charged onto my Bell bil. Opinions please

Insane amount of adds
August 16, 2024

Good morning

I understand that I have the basic plan but the adds are insane.

I just chose a show, I had to watch 2 adds 10 seconds later, 4 adds, every 5 minutes 4 adds.

The adds vary from 10 to 40 seconds

This is too much

Companies are losing my business by advertising on crave. There are things i will never buy again because crave plays their ad over and over. It happens often that a cluster of 4 ads are all the same ad over and over again. Its insane.

The worst streaming platform of them all.
July 19, 2024

Crave is the absolute worst of all the streaming platforms in Canada and I really hope it disappears sooner than later, especially seeing it holds legal access to all the great programming on HBO away from Canadian consumers.

My number one complaint is the image quality. Want 4k? Nope. Want clean image without compression artifacts? Nope. Want HDR+ or Dolby Vision? Dolby Atmos sound? Nope. Everything looks absolutely awful.

The app is garbage with a terrible interface and crashes regularly on Apple TV and on my Pixel Android phone.

Please don't give Bell Media your money, and certainly don't pay for crave. If you really must watch HBO shoes, find another way, legal or not.

Old stupid stuff
December 6, 2021

Wow talk about a disappointment. Most movies and tv shows are crap. Lots of choice but nothing there worth watching. $29.00 CDN dollars per month for this? It's only been a week and I'm going to cancel.

I have never hated using a platform more than Crave. If you pause a show then resume it automatically skips to the next episode after a couple minutes. There is also the playback error bug that drives me absolutely insane: randomly, and for no reason, it will refuse to play a specific episode citing an unknown problem. Even after hard booting my tv (because there's no obvious way to restart the app fully) it continues to give me the same error. I have no idea how they landed the HBO deal but it's so incredibly frustrating that I have to navigate this P. O. S. Platform just to watch a show.

Crave on Samsung stopped working 3 days ago. Screen frozen at EXIT APP. Can't exit or cancel. This is the latest problem. On other occasions the video won't load or loads then stops working. Sometimes I have had to do special sign in on my laptop to be able to continue the watch Crave on tv. A real pain...seriously considering cancelling at end of term. Too much frustration.

CRAVE REVIEW
March 6, 2022

I have been using Crave since back when it was Movie Central. Crave has really gone down hill and I will most likely have no choice but to have them removed from my provider. Pricing is way to expensive for this kind of quality. Hollywood Suite is a very good alternative which I spend more time on than Crave. Sorry Crave you have really let me down.

Crave tv, I'd sooner pay for the clap
March 21, 2021

Crave tv is perhaps the weakest streaming service available In 2021, for the price of most other premium streaming services you get next to nothing, proper HBO content and most of the good movies are hidden behind a secondary pay wall. I briefly subscribed. Will never make the same mistake again. Wish I could get my 10 bucks back. I'll pay for a kick in the testicles before I'll ever subscribe to this garbage again. Shame on you HBO and Crave. Why would anyone pay for this? Stream it online

I have e-mailed Crave FIVE times about the promo code they sent me (50% off for 4 months) and said that this promo code doesn't work. They kept saying that it should work, trying to make me renew my subscriptions. Liars and scammers! I hope HBO will use some other platform in Canada for their content.

Riddled with bugs and playback errors, very clunky platform garbage. Customer service that either doesn't respond ever or takes over a week if they do. They're so pathetic and embarrassing. It's wild.
