UPDATE: LevinTV mysteriously came back on at 1:55. ONE-HALF HOUR OF REPETITIVE COMMERCIALS! If there was a zero-star rating, that's what I'd give. Pluto is getting worse and worse. When sports come back, I'm out of here 99% of the time. I can choke down 1%, like an errant bean I get on a Mexican plate after ordering it with "no beans."

I'm watching LevinTV on Blaze Live right now. It went to commercials at about 1:25 pm. Fine. But it's now 1:37 and it hasn't returned to the program. I find this often and I have to change channel and then come back to see my program already well along. This isn't working this time. Instead, if I switch channels and come back, I get the Pluto colored streamers until a new ad starts. It's now 1:40 and the commercials just keep coming. I could go back to pay TV, but my favorite news and talk shows are only on Pluto. Oh, no. Another stupid stay-at-home and turn into a mushroom ad. Now, it's 1:43. Forget THIS program. I've already missed 18 minutes.

Lots of content, good menu, but too many ads, specifically from "priorities action", a Democrat run super pac dating back to 2012.

Over and over same negative political ads. This tells me Pluto will sell out to just about anything.

Pluto is great!
April 25, 2020

Pluto is great. If you want to wait to see your show for 5 minutes at a time, or if you don't mind watching the same thing you just watched for the last 10 minutes again, or watching the same commercial a hundred times in a row, or if you don't care that your children are able to watch sex, violence and hear profanity at any time of the day. Pluto is great!

Lots of bad Pluto reviews here. But lets put some comparison reference in here. Crackle, a direct similar competitor, is way way way way worse than Pluto. Pluto is GREAT compared to Crackle. So I am giving Pluto 5 Stars.

Why Change Formay
April 18, 2020

The new Pluto format is not user friendly.
Not able to find categories easily. While scanning will jump back to main page with current show being shown.
Please change it back to pre iOS format.
Thank you.

I used to watch Pluto more than anything on my smart TV, but I am seriously considering a new TV program for free tv. The shows need updated, too many repeat episodes and movies. The Verizon/Frontier commercials are SUPER ANNOYING because they play EVERY commercial break and they are the same singing ones of the house flipper and the quintuplets. I am so tired of these commercials! UPDATE SHOWS, MOVIES AND COMMERCIALS! If these updates are done, this would be a much better way to watch TV.

Tosh. 0 channels shows same 4 episodes over and over and over. Too many political channels and they will repeat same commercial sometimes 3-4 times in a row... ZYM for example.

Constant crashes
April 7, 2020

We have a fast connection - 37mbps, but this still has continued interuptions & crashes, seems to work more reliably when left to load for several minutes, but actually getting it to be stable this long is unusual. Channels aren't bad when you can get the app to work, but good luck with that. The app needs considerable work and should really be removed from the market until a stable version is available.

Pluto could have taken over the airwaves but no, They have been showing the same hand full of sad movies for 6 months or more. Every channel ( except the news) shows the same six shows over and over. Americans let T. V. and cable get away with it like the brain washed zombies we have become. I dropped Pluto, Thankfully there is Roku.

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

Commercials
March 29, 2020

It's a nice app, but these commercials... I don't mind commercials in general, but here we are watching kids movies with commercials not made for children! The same one over and over again every break! We also don't watch a lot of horror and thriller... and here we are watching a light-hearted movies with horror/thriller commercials... on repeat! And get rid of "The Invisible Man" crap. I've seen that one so much it makes me not want to watch it.

I'm not much of a TV person and only have antenna tv. My daughter thought I might enjoy a bigger selection of channels so she got me a ROKU box. She set it up with Pluto, Roku and Plex. Pluto has one program that I watch. Leverage. I'm stunned that yesterday they were cutting off the end of each episode and starting the next one but they had no problem running ads or just their logo on the screen for 20 seconds. Today they finished season 3 and went to season 1. No idea what happened to seasons 4 and 5. I don't think they know the meaning of "binge watching". Their advertising is the worst I have ever seen. They play way too many "no more truth in advertising" ads from far left PACS. They aren't promoting a candidate, it's just a hatchet job against the president. They even play the same ad twice in one commercial break. I'm not impressed at all and would never recommend them to anyone.

I have Pluto TV on my Amazon Fire TV stick. There is a limited ability to view a channel guide. There is a horrible problem with buffering., I have several other apps on the Fire TV stick and those do not have buffering issues. Nor do I have these issues streaming from other sources and apps on my laptop or tablet.

A commercial almost every 3 mins or less.
What a $#*!ing joke.
Not to mention it's same damn commercials over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. See just like that.
Deleting this bull$#*! app.
T. V. Service might be free but the $#*!s behind the scenes are getting filthy rich driving the common man crazy with continuos ads.

I can live with the incessantly repetitive commercials, but they repeat the same few Doctor Who episodes for months now... why? There are so many to choose from, yet we get the same ones, over, and over, and over again. Seems like an effective torture, but entertainment...? Not really... maybe that's the point.
