Tonight, as I was trying to watch South Park on my TV, I had to endure a disgusting commercial with men parading around in makeup and dresses. I left a different review earlier, but I saw this $#*!ty website did not include the title. So I figured I should leave one that's more in depth. Now I've done this before, when YouTube started showing a ton of transexuals in ads. I had to $#*!post and $#*!post and $#*!post all over their review page to get YouTube to stop showing those nasty things. Pluto needs a way to "stop seeing this ad". Trans are disgusting Pluto, normal folk don't wanna see that $#*!.

I was excited at first but I'm a now very disappointed the relentless repetitive commercials just ruins the viewing experience. No exaggeration I saw the same Cheddar News commercial 3 times in 10 minutes, and the horrible My Pillow commercials are played over and over. Nothing but disappointment wouldn't recommend this to anyone

I get sick to my stomach every time I see the commercials praising our 45th "President." They're constant. Though, judging by some of the cult reviews here, it hasn't always been so. That aside, the addition of more nostalgic shows has really improved the quality of the app for me. I love what I see. One star removed because of those ads.

Pluto Sucks
January 13, 2024

The app is super slow, always pauses, kicks you out! Takes 10 minutes just to search for something! Rediculous, there are much better apps out there, don't waste your time...its unfortunate to, they have really good content, to bad you can't watch it! I'm trying to watch a program on here now, It's a commercial, sound goes out, paused on it's own, then kicks you out! And that took me forever just to get to that point!

Nothing more irritating than watching a movie on Pluto and, at some point, it will suddenly go back 15-20 earlier and replay from there. When it does, which is the majority of their movies, guarantee the end of the movie is cut off and goes to the next movie! Irritating as F***! Pluto needs MAJOR work.

Worst free app ever
October 2, 2023

The amount of ads they force you to watch is absolutely abusive. I'd rather watch a low res upload on YouTube than submit myself to interruptions every 5 minutes for the same horrible ads. Advertisers on Pluto - my newfound hatred for your products has inspired me to never buy anything you sell!

Censorship
March 3, 2023

Very disappointed in Pluto, who is owned by Paramont, when you're trying to watch the news. I've had Pluto on my phone for a couple of years. You can watch any news channel and they are fine but when you try to watch a conservative news channel they have an algorithm that causes the conservative channels to lock up. So much for freedom of speech. I wish some organization would look into this and report it on the national level.

Disclaimer
March 26, 2023

I find it unconscionable that a disclaimer is necessary before a treatment for addiction ad. You don't agree with the opinions about treatment, but you agree with all your other advertisers?
That disclaimer is just one more example of the denial that helps perpetuate addiction and minimize it.

Bad feed
February 14, 2021

Tv shows constantly freeze and end up missing the beginning of most shows. Plays for 5 minutes and freezes and replays last 5 seconds prior to screen freeze. Terrible service. Wish LG had Discovery plus instead.

Pluto $#*!ing sucks. Cant fast-forward or rewind. Internet went out for a moment and couldn't fast track it to where I left off had to start from beginning I would not recommend anyone to use it. It's free but you pay with your time with the bs you have to deal with to watch anything.

Good alternative to cable
September 21, 2021

Lot of options the only issue I have is one commercial, I don't mind the ad for Ford it's the two idiots that are talking, it looks like a internet sports talk show, the main problem is it's from last year and the audio is broken up and they play it so much. Pluto.tv please change the ad for ford.

Poor Quality App
April 9, 2023

This app has more glitches than any other app I have used. I am glad to see it isn't just Apple TV users having this issue, it's Roku users as well. I have Apple TV and Pluto tries to blame it on our devices which are always up to date and don't have issues running any other app. Can't enjoy watching Price is Right without the screen going black or freezing every two minutes…it doesn't glitch during the fifty million commercials they run though! Also, they run the same episodes every other day on the Judge Judy network and I have seen Price is Right repeat frequently. Out of all the seasons Price is Right has been on, they keep replaying only 1983-1985 then going back to 1983. Out of all the seasons Judge Judy was on they keep playing all the same episodes from the first few years she was on….ridiculous. Get it together Pluto or shut it down!

It's 2021... Is it REALLY that hard to make sure the video and audio match to an extent that we humans can't notice?!?!?! Based on whoever is behind the code for Pluto TV, the answer to that question is yes. Not even the ads synced. However, it was free, so that's why I gave it two stars, instead of one.

So repetitive.
December 7, 2022

I like Pluto TV but really, ten times of one episode of ANYTHING is exhausting. It's the same stuff over and over and over. I get that that is all they are able to do but it sure makes for a super limited experience. I wish they could air a series in its entirety, but no, I guess it doesn't work that way. You can love it, but you're always going to leave it sooner or later.

This station has a very poor connection. It also keeps playing the same movies month after month and rarely changes them. Most of the movies are either not interesting or B movies. Some aren't even B. Not much as far variety. Totally boring. I'm thinking of deleting the app. To tell you the truth

Pluto TV is a joke.
December 31, 2022

TV and movies for free as long as you have absolutely no intentions of watching anything completely even while watching all their damn adds. Word of advice, run away, run away as fast as you can because this streaming service is not worth your aggravation.

Run by morons!
July 11, 2019

They keep rerunning parts of their shows to the point of total irritation and they just cut off the end of the show I was watching. Enough with the arrogant CNN commercials calling an apple a banana. Anyone one with any intelligence knows CNN is nothing but lies! This service is run by morons!

ADs
August 1, 2021

The way Pluto TV runs advertisements sucks $#*! hard! No warning! All of a sudden you're watching a $#*!ty ad and the movie you were watching flew out the window. Pluto TV is the worst channel of the entire bunch.

Last channel
February 18, 2023

You recently added recent channel which does absolutely nothing. For me I am a channel surfer and I will find several channels that will switch between but you only save the one channel so if I'm watching Blue bloods but switch to gunsmoke I have to go through the whole menu process. If you actually added three or four of the last channels on your recent channel it would be easy to surf up and down and other than that I think your service is outstanding.

I like the channels on Pluto but there are way too many ads way too often, sometimes up to 10 ads every few minutes, and the channel also freezes up often and sometimes completely $#*!s off and sends you back to Roku home page. Overall, not a good watching experience.
