If you're the type of person who enjoys watching the same small handfull of episodes of any given series over and over again, with absolutely no hope of having them switched out for different episodes for literally years, then you have struck gold with Pluto TV. I have absolutely no problem with any of the content, or commercials, as I fully understand the need for sponsored advertisements on a free streaming service. I merely have a problem with the fact that they will show the same small handful of episodes of any given series over and over again, relentlessly, for years without ever switching them out for different episodes. Pluto TV SEEMS wonderful for the first couple of months that you use it, but when you find yourself encountering the same episodes over and over again, never changing, you start to understand the rub of the situation.

Liars
January 1, 2024

You say 60 episodes of Bob Barkers first season of the price is right. Yeh what a crock. What a big lie that is. Maybe 20 episodes and that's a big maybe. You keep playing that Drew Carrey memorial show to fill in for the lack of episodes. Rediculus and sad.Again liars. 60 episodes. What a crock.

Total Crap
May 21, 2023

When I downloaded this app, and started watching some decent movies and shows, the commercials and time spend on them was not bad at all...and then that completely changed soon after. Now I can try to watch a show, and sometimes the same b.s. Commercial pops up every minute, and I spend more time on commercials than on the show I'm watching. Sometimes you think the commercial is over.the show or movie starts playing.and literally TEN SECONDS LATER, THE COMMERCIAL STARTS AGAIN! This app is junk, don't waste your time, like I did

Movies run weird
December 17, 2020

Thought I would give it a try after all it's free tv right? Wrong! Couldn't even make it though a whole movie. The ads don't bother me to much, gotta make money somewhere. What ruined it for me was the movie jumped around after the ads. I don't want to hunt for the right part of the film I'm injoying ever 5 mins only to get hit with another ad. Best part was the timer bar of the movie is at 35 mins and the screen is on the end of the film. Also the film doesn't pause for the ads, they just run over it.
Get what you pay for tho, right?

Punished for tab hopping
February 28, 2022

Pluto tv has a lot of ads. I understand to a degree because free, but tubi tv is free too and doesn't have that many ads. The kicker though is that I tab hopped during the ads. And it waits until near the VERY end of the movie to punish me for it (which has never happened to me on any other streaming site), sending the movie back to the beginning, so I click back near the end and it stops at each ad, forcing me to rewatch them ALL. Next time I want to watch something streaming only on pluto, i'll buy it off Amazon first.

Don't waste your time trying to use Pluto. It's just a gimmick to watch commercials and then the movie/shows won't work. The fast forward or rewind feature purposely does not work.

Pluto has a great variety of Classic Shows, IF you want to have repeated SJW $#*! pounding every 3-4 mins. Not only that, but many of the ads are repeated ad nauseum. Clue to the clueless. Despite the enemies of America owning all of Social Media, Mainstream Media, Hollywood, Music Industry, etc., it is not indicative of the majority of this Country. Just as we overwhelmingly reelected Donald John Trump in November 2020 (yuppers, reality) we are not Socialist, anti God, Family, Police, Military, America. We are the opposite. Comeuppance is coming.

First time and last time with Pluto TV. Commercial breaks at worst moments interrupting scene, doesn't return to same spot. At least wait until end of scene. Commercials are EXACTLY SAME each time (ours were Doordash, Podcast, Goldfish). Can't FF past commercials. NEVER AGAIN.

Reruns of reruns

I watch one channel a lot. Seems like it's just about ten episodes that just continuously play in random order. Why? There are so many seasons of these shows... sad

If you're a Gen X'er who grew up with Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Taxi and so many of these hard to find TV shows, then you're on the right spot! Only downfall is not enough variety in the Ondemand section.

Not free. Commercials from Hades Stinky bathroom. Fine movies should never be watched with ads and whomever does this should be punished by having to eat old Asparagus in milk for eternity.

When you select pluto - you'll have time to run out to the store to get an iced coffee while it loads. Once on the app - a time warp delay back to the 60's while navigating thru to hopefully land at your selected choice could be 3-5 min. All while being subjected to whatever XXXX program that keeps popping on during the process. If you are successful - pretty sure it's not HD. No fast-forward thru commercials - in fact a tape deck from the 50's moves quicker. AND THOSE COMMERCIALS. WOW. STICK A FORK IN MY EYE. Talk about obnoxious and repetitious and never-ending...
AND THEN IT FREEZES... and your kicked off - all to begin again..

Great for Free TV
October 25, 2021

Pretty good variety and the movies change out a lot so it's not always the same movie selections. TV shows, movies, sports & news. It seems Pluto has changed the guide view and no longer gives a brief description of a movie. So, unless you know what the movie ia about, the only way to get an idea is to watch it (or Google it).
The commercials though. OMG, I saw the local state politician's competition bashing commercial (same one over & over) at least 40 times during one movie. Some breaks it would just show that same commercial back to back 3-4 times. Advertising is advertising I guess. I hope they get more sponsors. At least it does seem that the commercials seem to pertain to local area (kind of funny how there are local cable companies advertising on Pluto.)
If I had to request one thing (besides limiting how many times the same commercial can run in a certain time frame) would be to add Two & Half Men (Charlie Sheen episodes only). Make it it's own channel, like The Love Boat and The Adams Family.

A waste of time. The picture is constantly freezing up (Firefox browser) and there are way too many commercials when it does work; twice the commercials on my mobile.
