“Pluto is free but alot of racist channels and adds.”

Steven S.
12/4/23

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.

“Logo change made the app foget my password”

George M.
2/15/24

Hadn't watched since the exciting logo switcheroo, and what do you know, I'm signed out. I go to sign back in, and somehow, my password has vanished from Roku. So I hit "forgot password". Two letters to go when entering my new password, and the shift stops working in the app. Tried to start over, and it just got worse from there. Absolutely not worth that much effort. But hey, your new logo looks really great, and so what if you lose viewers?

Watching on my laptop with hdmi cable into the TV
Beyond glitchy. Constantly skipping episodes out of order. Constantly freezing. Episodes will begin 75% into the show. Again its free but clearly nothing I would ever be willing pay for. Watching the same commercials over and over and constantly having to close and restart. Reminds me of the technology back in the 80s... least it's free. Think of it as a free car that only breaks down about 75% of the time. But its free

The guide comes up fine. When I click a show or movie to watch, I get a blank screen? No other app does that.

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.

Yes it is free, but it feels like you are spending more time watching commercials than actually viewing content. Pluto please cut down on all the commercials, especially the ones in a foreign language. There are many Spanish language channels for commercials in Spanish.

I've no complaints about the programming. I do have issues with the audio, though. Within 15 minutes of launching a show - any show - the audio ends up being out of sync with the video. Seems these syncing issues pop up no matter which show I bring up. PlutoTV is the only application that does this. Consequently, I end up heading to Tubi and other streamers for the same shows I could've been watching on PlutoTV.

Please please get the sound and picture synchronized. It's not just every now and then it's all the time. We love Pluto but this is not acceptable it's chasing us away.

After spending hours and hours looking though the hundreds of channels on the android Pluto app I have come to realize that NOT all the channels that are available on Pluto tv are NOT available on the Pluto android app Pluto is only free if you're time has no value! The time I spent looking for Chanels that do NOT exist were wasted a search option would be nice there is one on the Pluto tv so why NOT on the android app? Thank you for wasting so much of my time Pluto! Way more time than it would take to watch a movie, total fraction as well as a waste of time. Try finding last man standing, or anger management, or your favorite show on the android app, you Will see what I mean!

Commercials are horrible to start with. What makes it totally unbearable is YOUR ACTUAL AD FOR PLUTO TV!
If I am watching, Why do I need the damn app? STOP IT! BROKEN RECORD!
Every 5 mins? It's like watching a Blu ray or DVD menu or a cable provider's instructional video over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. STOP IT! F_CK!?!?!?!
People are fragile after a pandemic, they are all lonely with anxiety, stress and mental health issues and don't need to be badgered by unnecessary nonsense like your app. PUT A BIG FREAKING D/L BUTTON but leave the viewers alone!
Also change up the available episodes of the TV programs you offer. Within a week I am done here! I mostly like just reno TV and have found there are just a hand full of episodes of any specific show that repeat over and over. Hum, a pattern forming?

The good? You offer this streaming but the bad is you're chasing viewers away with repeated annoying tripe. You are worse than having paid for cable TV.
Why not try loading commercial ads used in past Superbowl shows?
It's odd, different, spontaneous and provides great advertising.
I am not a sports fanatic but have heard they are at least entertaining and funny to view.
For now, I guess I'll go D/L my shows by torrent.
What a shame.

Why are so many commercials in Spanish? Seriously! I can't be a customer of your commercials if they are not in English

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.

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!

I liked it when I first started watching. Now I'm missing to much of the shows because there are to many commercials. Would love to be able to watch a show from start to finish.

The site is great but the ads are awful, repetitive and incredibly annoying. I haven't ever been to a channel broadcasting on TV or live streaming that has been doing nothing but playing the most grating repetitive commercials. The obnoxious South Park ads going: " YOU'Ve BEEN PLAYING RED DEAD REDEMPTION?!?!11 " and this sperg from some funniest video compilation show going: " BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZZ " over and over again like a child.
If there was anything more annoying in life I couldn't name it.

You can find a tv show or movie and start watching, but, if you pause for any length of time, Pluto will shift to another show or movie (not a show in the series you're watching, but an entirely different one). Then you have to hit the back arrow to go back to your show or series, and then it might be an episode you've already watched, and you'll have to hit the forward arrow to find it. In addition, as long as you've got the page open on your computer or tablet, it might start playing a show or movie automatically, say, when you're in bed asleep.

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.

I can live with commercials, but the controls to move through the video are horrendous. Glitches all the time. Sends you back minutes instead of seconds. Won't let you move forward at all. Just not worth the effort to watch something.

I was excited when I heard about Pluto TV where you can watch TV. I like classic Game Shows, but it turns out that you're just watching old stuff which can be tiresome and a BIG pain! Please Pluto TV give us updated live shows and updated live sports.

Since Jan. 1st 2023, I've never seen so many ads. It's crazy. There's even more ads than cable tv, and that's a lot. Can't enjoy a movie with that many ads. I'll be watching elsewhere.

Pluto TV is continuing to run ads that has Facebook employees talking about the need for government regulation. It is nothing more than an effort of Facebook to protect themselves from the large amount of free speech censorship they are involved in. Facebook is part of advancing the tyranny that has gripped the minds of young people. If you have a Facebook account, close it and live free of their control of what you read.
