Each commercial played twice during commercial breaks. Then I made the stupid mistake of pressing the wrong button & Pluto did not let me resume where I left off. Could fast forward the movie but not the commercials. Shut the damned thing off & just "imagined" what the ending was. Am deleting this app!

The station and "news" is no doubt all radical leftist democratically owned. Only thing I use it for is Washington BS, the live corruption and puppets in the house like the shifty puppet. Never see anything conservative. So, viewing on Pluto is limited for me.

This is a dog that needs to be put down! It has not given me the video I selected ever. Seems to have a mind, not grounded in reality, if it's own. Wonder what "it's" might be. Not worth having even if they paid me!

It's got a great selection of cool content... especially if you're over 35. A bit glitchy at times, but overall...pretty good for a free app. Many whiners on here obviously didn't grow up watching regular cable tv.

I am a cable cutter who uses ROKU.

Pluto is probably all you can expect for (almost) free. The latest annoyance is their change to the Channel Guide: They took out all of the information which used to show a short synopsis of the program. Why? Did it save them money?

Another annoyance is the frequent freezing and lockups when scrolling through the guide making it almost impossible to find shows.

Showing the same commercials over and over is also pretty lame, which tells me that they have too few paying sponsors - not a good sign.

The audio volume increases drastically during commercials requiring muting or being unable to hear when the show resumes. How does this attract viewers?

Lack of local sports programming has driven me back to Radio.

Pluot tv is the worst! Keeps on buffering every couple of minutes!

That's not the worst, it plays the same horrible commercials on a loop! There are about 6 or 7 commercials that keep playing!

Oh my God! I thought I was going insane.

Come on Pluto, if you want to play with the big boys, start spending some money and get a lot mote classier!

I won't watch until you do!

They are neverending and constant! Very irritating. It just makes me change the channels constantly trying to avoid the really horrible music you use to hock this crap. Especially on venues like news channels that adults watch.

Solitaire cash commercial
December 28, 2023

I enjoy watching Pluto. I watch the classics like Gunsmoke, Rawhide and others. Its pretty much on Pluto all day. I see people complaining about too many commercials, but I think there's not that many and not very long either. Not like cable or satellite. How else is it going to be free?. I do however have an issue with the solitaire cash commercial. The one with the lady on the couch who is startled by the avocado cat. I absolutely hate that word, and its not very concealed or disguised. Even a child knows what they are saying. It's not appropriate at all, especially in a cartoon like character that easily grabs their attention. I hope it will be removed.

Pluto comes for free with my Comcast subscription. So, I decided to watch a movie on it. When I backed out to do something and came back later to resume watching, there was no way I found to resume. That's #1. #2. I started at the beginning and started to fast forward to where I left off. Can't fast forward through commercials. #3. The same commercial ran what seemed like every 5 minutes. (not a short one either). I finally got to my stopping point. I watched the balance of the movie (watching that same commercial over and over again every couple minutes).

I think, if an interesting movie is only available on Pluto, I will skip it.

Tubi and Peacock are far superior for movies.

They stick to you
February 17, 2023

Pluto tv was a thing I tried out. It was quirk y as far as streaming, did not have many shows/movies I wanted to see. Commercials were overwhelming. I now get spam from pluto tv everyday and contacting the company to be taken off their list I was basicly told to sue them or they would not change anything. At least part of their mission is to irritate anyone that does not like the product. Would give -10 rating if able.

As the title says,free but very racist programming and adds.other than that it's not to bad with many 24/7 classic channels and a lot of variety.people with young or impressionable kids should either inform there kids that this is not the way 2 races should be or interact.the only way to change anything for better is to teach and guide when kids are very young,builds a good and proper relationship between races.as Pluto has it now it actually pitts race vs race favoring one over the other,which is very wrong if you want equality better races.dont believe me,scan thru the channels and see for yourself,it very apparent and obvious.needs to change.

Garbage
July 15, 2021

There is a streamlining issue with one of there tv shows that I've addressed more the. A 1/2 dozen times. I've probably gotten two reply backs saying the ticket is closed and if you reply with explaining the issue a human will get back to you. Total radio silence on there end, They just don't care what the viewers want.

I watch Blue Bloods all day long. Why is there such a long wait, with bad music between shows. Most of the time I have to go back to home, then pluto then back to BB. This is everytime. It gets very old fast.

Stations and programs

I would just like to say how happy I am that you carry the Bob Ross channel. I simply love it and watch it every night before bed. He was such a extraordinary artist. A wonderful teacher and his program has such a calming effect. Thank you!

Pitiful
December 25, 2022

Absolutely pitiful. There's a commercial every 5-10 minutes. It is the same annoying commercials. And if you accidentally hit a button and get and get out of the movie/show you were watching you can't pick it up where you left off. You have to fast forward and watch the same 2 commercials every 5 minutes. We were almost done with a movie and it has taken us 20 minutes to get back to where we were at. Never using Pluto tv again. Would rather pay other companies my money than waste my time with pluto tv and let them make money off forcing us to watch all these ads. Wish I could rate this a 0/5

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.

Very frustrating trying to watch any show with this service. We like retro shows, so I like Buzzr. At first, all was well. Now, however, shows are constantly interrupted by commercials and the end of some shows cut off completely. Takes all the fun out of watching. Please get this fixed!

Worst free show site on the internet. Along with the commercials every 5 minutes you get popups. And I also noticed that if you don't stay on the tab while they play it stops, nothing but a garbage free service, IMDB is much much better.

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.
