“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?

Was very shocked to see PlutoTV supporting 45, and it's not just 1 commercial here or there. They have their own channel and most of the commercials are supporting trump. Very sad to see.

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 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

I like it okay but it was a lot better before Viacom took over. A lot better Viacom is too biased & the shows having their own channels are ridiculous. The demand section needs improvement & some of the shows they have are beyond unnecessary. I miss the old Pluto.

I have yet to seen Happy days on the happy dats Chennai. You would think on a channel called happy days they would have mostly happy days on it but they never do. Everytime I turn it on Lavene & Shirly is always on.

Not bad TV programming, too many commercials during 1/2 hour shows. OH, by the way get off those ZORRO commercials... I have to take a break and watch another streaming channel. My wife and I watched a show on Pluto the other day and watched for almost 4 hours and counted 81 times you showed that Zorro commercial, and most were back to back... and back

Running the same "commercials" 4 times in a row is insane. The "blown speaker" sounds on your own Pluto commercials is super annoying. How about some better timing of when to go to a break.

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.

Watching the movie best of the best, but get to one point where commercials came on every ten seconds, making that seen of the movie which should only be about 2 minutes go about thirty. I had to turn of the movie.

Is Pluto a "woke" establishment? Afraid of the liberal backlash? Afraid of the truth, that libs say is propaganda? Sad you feel necessary to put a disclaimer warning viewers of newsmax! FYI: Most popular news channels report tabloid rubbish, and ignore the actual facts that are under their nose! Don't discount newsmax! They're the fastest growing news channel today!

This streeming app is OK as far as all the content goes. But. Global news. Is the same as any other app that wants to be legal in Canada. Global buffers to the point it repeats itself 3cto 4 times in 40 seconds. I don't think it's Pluto's issue. I lean more to Global. I have yet to find any Canadain content. Be it news or sports that is watchable with out buffering.
Seems it's very easy to get any other content, streem and watch. But Canadain content. Watching it. Is like pulling teeth with out freezing.
Pluto. Look into this please.
My opinion. All the Canadain content providers make it hard to watch so you have no choice by subscribe to their streeming app.

All in all. Pluto. Is OK. Except the canadain content. Mainly. News. Global

Commercials are the MOST annoying that have ever been broadcast. They are designed to drive a person insane.

Although it is cumbersome to get through the menu of shows they do have a good selection from old to new. The one of the bad parts about Pluto TV is the commercials for one. If you are watching a series you get the exact same commercials in the exact same order at every commercial break. Another bad point to Pluto TV is if you are watching a TV series there is no way for them to mark which episodes you have already watched it is up to you to remember what season and what episode you are currently at. All other streaming services let you know where you're at and let you start at that point without having to go through all of the episodes and seasons to find the one you were at.

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.

The variety of channels are good, the movie selection are good, the news channels are almost entirely left wing/ socialist propaganda. The ads are also left wing propaganda. The subject matter is mostly for millennials and hippie culture.

Not a fan but the comedy area is ok. But it is left wing pure and simple and with plenty of ads. The ads need to be less and better. They occur at odd points and are repetitive. I hate that they promote lefty things like lefty documentaries and left wing news. I skip that area which is no good.

Its a good idea, and I get where it comes from, I'm even on board with the reality of it. Cause lets face it, millions of homes buy cable and over the air TV an do nothing but sit on social media, youtube and other sites all day. Nobody watches "TV" anymore. Its good that they want to come up with a solution for this, but it has issues. Most of the channels are sub 720p and even in the case of the 4K channel... its not in 4k by the way. The ads they give you have no real mesh with the channel they're displayed on, and some of them are even offensive. Which compounds the offense by playing the same ad over and over again.
The ideas for the channels are good, but they're going to need the backing of what already pulls in the most views on normal cable TV. They lack Sci Fi, MTV, BET, Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, AMC, FX, CNN or Fox News just to name some of the largest draws on regular TV.
Its a great idea, and if you don't bother with any of the channels I mentioned above and have finally gone fully digital running nothing to your home except the Internet, then its an ok solution for the time being. But in order for this thing to break the wall and hit the mainstream, it needs more mainstream channels, more mainstream sponsors, and more mainstream technology. Destroying a large chunk of their user base by offering sub optimal resolutions at full screen... won't help the cause.

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…

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.

Pluto has great shows, news channels, movies etc etc considering its free! 3 stars could have been 5 if the freeze ups, delays in loading, and oh my God! The commercials! Pluto must make $999,999,999,999,99cents a year on commercial contracts. Take some of that money and upgrade PLEASE! YOUR NOT FAR FROM 5 STARS! Over all not a bad company just need some upgrades.
