“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?

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.

How come your only show the same 20 episodes of South Park and the rest of the channels are good but only 20 different episodes

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.

They say people are unhappy they paid for this um hello it's free lots of breaks but hey it's free. Wish they had Law&Order SVU otherwise I pretty much enjoy the stations or channels offered for free thanks Pluto! If it didn't have ad breaks I'd give it 5 stars. And heck I'd be willing to pay say $5 a month to not have ads.

All day (yesterday too) Shout TV has been showing movies instead of what is titled and showing what should be playing. So instead of Celebrating laughter: Carol Burnett, which is what is titled to be playing now, instead there's a movie showing and it's been playing for several hours! Yesterday was supposed to be the Tim Conway show all day but there to was a movie(s) playing ALL day. It's so annoying b cuz added this channel to my favorites purposely b cuz of Tim Conway and Carol Burnett. Even tho i can watch the Carol Burnett channel, this channel shows different CB shows that the other one doesn't have. Not sure how long this channel is going to remain this way, but for now I'll take it out as my favorite and check back every now and again.

Please fix this!
Thank you.

I have no idea what these specific questions are for. I typically was making a complaint regarding the channels on Pluto TV which i watch for free on my cell phone.

I do enjoy Pluto TV from time to time but I find that the volume on the programing is far too low and the commercials are much too loud I tried to watch We were Soldiers and the volume was so low I had my tv up to 75 at one point and just turned it off

Tip for consumers:
Be ready to mute during commercials

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!

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.

Pretty good variety and the movies change out a lot so it's not always the same movie selections. TV shows, movies, sports & news. It seems Pluto has changed the guide view and no longer gives a brief description of a movie. So, unless you know what the movie ia about, the only way to get an idea is to watch it (or Google it).
The commercials though. OMG, I saw the local state politician's competition bashing commercial (same one over & over) at least 40 times during one movie. Some breaks it would just show that same commercial back to back 3-4 times. Advertising is advertising I guess. I hope they get more sponsors. At least it does seem that the commercials seem to pertain to local area (kind of funny how there are local cable companies advertising on Pluto.)
If I had to request one thing (besides limiting how many times the same commercial can run in a certain time frame) would be to add Two & Half Men (Charlie Sheen episodes only). Make it it's own channel, like The Love Boat and The Adams Family.

I honestly could get by on Pluto TV without needing cable, Netflix, Hulu etc since I don't watch TV much overall. My only suggestion would be adding an option to make the font when reading the guide larger. I'm only 39yrs old but have a hard time being able to read what's on the descriptions. I kinda wish the layout would be a little better as well but again it's free and is a nice app. But please add a setting to adjust the font or increase it a little by default?

Pluto TV runs PSAs, or Public Service Announcements, as filler when they don't have a commercial. Please Pluto, give us some variety! The same two are run constantly. Both are similarly themed; gay marriage and transgender. Monotonous.
There are plenty of concerns vying for air time. Plenty of public service variety is available, so why not use it?
One might believe the folks at Pluto are pushing an agenda.

The commercials and political ads really don't bother me. I'm not triggered by them so all is ok. Good choices of classic movies and tv series. It's definitely better than another "free" program I've been watching. I won't give it 5 stars but I'm satisfied so far.
