“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?

Just being able to watch shows like this is wonderful! We have FUBO, Apple TV (comes with a package my family has from Apple), Netflix and Amazon. I personally only watch the Inspiration Channel out of all those (I like Gunsmoke and Bonanza). I put PLUTO on one of our Apple TVs...saw Johnny Carson and that alone was worth the download. It is a free app, so I certainly didn't expect much. However after spending a bit of time looking through the selections of older shows, I'm impressed. Heck they even have a bunch of Elvis movies playing!

If you're a Gen X'er who grew up with Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Taxi and so many of these hard to find TV shows, then you're on the right spot! Only downfall is not enough variety in the Ondemand section.

If you told me I could get free cable tv (200+ channels) and all I needed to do was have an app and watch commercials, before pluto i would have called you a liar. Pluto is the best free option ive come across for cord cutters, the selection is great, you can watch on demand, it's easy enough to use my parents replaced their cable with it.

Tip for consumers:
Its free

I like the app. I like watching the older shows. At home and at work. I work better with TV noise in the background (not actually watching).
The commercials are really no different than others but the plus is there aren't 15 commercials between episodes like METV.
I would like to know if new episodes will be played. I've been watching a month now and it's the same episodes in rotation.

While some may find the shows old or boring, I have found Pluto to be very uplifting. I love watching the old shows from back in the day. The Game Channel is great as well as TV Shows and others. I don't think it's a big deal there are commercials, the streaming platform is free. Change the channel if you don't want to watch commercials. I see nothing boring about it. This platform saves you money unlike all the others. Add up what your streaming a month plus cable, it's ridiculous.

It has a great mix of content that runs almost continously. Shows are grouped by menus (Comedy, Reality TV, Classic TV, Kid's, etc.) for easier searching. Classic tv shows (the Beverly Hillbillies), reality TV (Hell's Kitchen, Survivor), comedy shows (Tosh. O) and even mma content like Bellator and poker events are all here. My only problem is sometimes it takes forever to start up, it continually buffers for minutes at a time and I get frusterated. But for a free program it's fantastic.

Lately when watching On Demand, it's been playing a part of the recording over and over. It's only a few minutes long. Don't know 8f it's only my phone but it's been doing it for a few days.

I saw an Advert around a Month ago on Digital Television Advertising Pluto Tv.
So I downloaded the App On My Smart TV and on my Smart Phone.
Honestly as a Customer to a Very well known Satalite Provider.
Somedays I am Using Pluto More than I am the Satalite I am Paying through the Roof for.
Highlights:
Pluto SOS
Pluto Classic which mainly Shows Laurel And Hardy
5th Gear if I want my Fix of Car reviews
Homes Under The Hammer If I want to watch Property Renovation
Hells Kitchen if I need a Fix of Gordon Ramsay
I have watched the Odd Movie on there too.

Over all It's a Case of If I can not find anything intresting to watch on Satalite then I Look To Pluto.
I hope this Service Goes from strength to Strength in time and it is not one of those that slowly Fades into the Abyss.

Overall I am pretty impressed with this offering all totally free No Sign up required.

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.

Overall statistically Pluto TV is one of the worst multi-channel apps that you possibly get I have an LG smart TV 4K and I still have problems getting it because there's something wrong with the app itself I would request or demand that Pluto try to think of some sort of device you can connect to the TV in order to get a locked signal for Pluto TV

I still enjoy plutoTV but that music they use when they don't have an advertisement filler is horrible. The plunk plunk of a very short stinged instrument quickly grows to be irritating. I would much prefer another ad or even the silence we used to enjoy.

I love Pluto! I have been paying for cable TV for decades because I'm a TV addict and I didn't think I could survive without 150 channels. But over the years my cable bill has gone up up up, there are so many commercials I forget what I was watching, and most of the time I checked every channel I had and found absolutely nothing of interest. With Pluto, not only is it free but the movies are not 'edited for content and to run in the time allotted.' Nothing is bleeped out or cut out, the movies are shown in their original state. I always find something to watch; classic TV shows are my favorite. There's a wide variety of decent movies, good documentaries, and the ads are minimal. Wasaaay less than with cable, which I was paying for. Canceled cable months ago and don't miss it one bit. To be fair, I do pay for Hulu, but with free Pluto and small price for Hulu, we're saving $70 a month and I always have something to watch.

Lots of bad Pluto reviews here. But lets put some comparison reference in here. Crackle, a direct similar competitor, is way way way way worse than Pluto. Pluto is GREAT compared to Crackle. So I am giving Pluto 5 Stars.

A good app all except the Democrat commericals. Get sick of seeing them. WAY to many. Yes, I know I could go to another app but this one has a lot of the old shows that are good. PLEASE quit showing so many of those commericals.
