Horrible Performance
September 13, 2023

Pluto is terrible. Frequent glitches, hesitations, and total freeze-ups. Absolutely the worst performance of any platform we've used—or, should I say, we've attempted to use. Xfinity should be ashamed to foist this horrible site on its customers. I'm

When I first started watching Pluto several months ago, there were only a few commercials. Now it seems every other ad is offensive, especially the condom commercials. I find this very offensive! What if children are in the room! Please take these ads off of Pluto or you will lose a viewer.

Partially Comcast's fault but Pluto is not an enjoyable application. Controls are cumbersome... and forbid that you hit the wrong key. You can't get there from here. You have to go back to the start and fast forward (well, sort of) through what you've watched. Regular speed play of all commercials, of course. It's a viewer's nightmare, especially when you just want to sit back and watch. Won't happen

I honestly could get by on Pluto TV without needing cable, Netflix, Hulu etc since I don't watch TV much overall. My only suggestion would be adding an option to make the font when reading the guide larger. I'm only 39yrs old but have a hard time being able to read what's on the descriptions. I kinda wish the layout would be a little better as well but again it's free and is a nice app. But please add a setting to adjust the font or increase it a little by default?

Too many commercials!
December 22, 2023

Free tv is great! I quit cable to get rid of excessive commercials but today I'm getting 8 to 13 commercials every 8 minutes. They are too long and too much repetition! Come on Pluto your becoming no better than cable companies except yes your free. Losing this customer

Dropping it soon
October 24, 2019

I've noticed a big theme reading other reviews, that being people getting tired of the left wing garbage that's pushed on Pluto and it's getting worse. I'm fed up with it too. Shut the hell up, keep politics out of it, and let me watch Dr Who without trying to convince me of lies such as that women in America are the most oppressed humans on the planet, or that CNN is an unbiased fact based news channel. Also that the Young Armenians... I mean Young "Turks", the epitome of leftwing hatred and intolerance, have their channel pushed regularly.

While some may find the shows old or boring, I have found Pluto to be very uplifting. I love watching the old shows from back in the day. The Game Channel is great as well as TV Shows and others. I don't think it's a big deal there are commercials, the streaming platform is free. Change the channel if you don't want to watch commercials. I see nothing boring about it. This platform saves you money unlike all the others. Add up what your streaming a month plus cable, it's ridiculous.

One sentence you'll get to know well " we're having trouble playing this title"
In the classic 30 minute shows you'll miss the endings because they were designed for 2 commercials at each break. But pluto uses 5 ads game shows you always miss the ending. I only watch three classic tv section because there they don't do it but every other section they do 5 to 6 ads. Yes it's free but is it worth your mental health. Also cnn and nbc never buffer but all the conservative news does constantly. Is free worth the frustration you get from same ads every 5 mins. It's up to you. Steer clear. The live tv is not live it's all prerecorded.

Although we love "Pluto TV," my self and family are tired and disgusted with having to watch commercials with gays (men primarily) kissing each other. If you're gay fine, but leave it out of our commercials…

Constantly bombarded with leftist propaganda. NO other viewpoint. Nothing else. Not sure who's backing this channel. You know, big donors? But definitely one sided. I agree with about 100% of the other reviews. Stay out of politics. I JUST WANT TO WATCH TV!

I and my wife, both registered Democrat (maybe that will change?) started streaming to get away from the constant bombardment of the left narrative. No dice. Think we might just head back to the other platforms.

Was great!
March 5, 2020

By far my favorite thing to watch until they keep updating. They took away ridiculousness so I was forced to fail army which is nothing but replays. Now they took that off and put some absolutely horrid show called fail five with the most annoying female host I've ever seen I can't watch it. I recommended this many a time but not anymore.

Imagine watching a movie and 3/4 of the way through it the film jumps back to what was shown an hour ago because some incompetent moron at master control forgot to change the tape to the next reel. Well, this happens on a regular basis at Pluto TV. They must be hiring people off the street with no technical training, probably affirmative action hires to appear more "woke". This has happened on 3 occasions and they don't even try and fix the problem. With a half hour left in the film they go to commercial and when they come back, the credits are running! Do yourself a favor and don't bother watching any movies on this "station".

Out of sync
November 18, 2023

Trying to binge watch Threes Company.
After a few minutes sound goes out of sync with picture (and subtitles). Haven't been able to watch a single 20 min episode where that's not happening.

How is it possible for a streaming service/app to be so technically bad?

Garbage
September 13, 2023

I literally can't stand it anymore deleting it plays the same couple commercials over and over. The one about the the stupid andy griffith show and that other dumb one not going to be ant gun fighting in my town. The shows are all reruns played over and over on loop all day. Do yourself a favor don't waste your time on this app. There is a reason it's free. Now they could not even pay me to watch. I'd rather watch paint dry.

Pluto TV sucks
March 30, 2020

Too many commercials, always lags. Very very slow. The guide is never up to date. Constant reruns. Can't pause. Can't rewind. Can't fast forward. It's definitely the last choice for free TV. This app has one thing going for it that's dog the bounty Hunter. But they keep showing the same one's over and over with tons of commercials

The repeating of movies
November 26, 2022

I see Pluto TV has a new category of movies which is good my thing is why do y'all keep repeating the same movies and also the shows. Hey can you update your cartoon classic to a more better variety of cartoons besides Popeye

Not all that
July 20, 2022

Tied of watching the baby mama drama commercial. What the heck? Who are these people proud of having illegitimate children. Other than that I appreciate watching some oldies, however, if this is all you have access to, you will get frustrated at the repeats
