Our account is still not working. We can no longer watch the movies we purchased. It's been almost 2 weeks since this ticket was first made. It should not take this long to correct the problem. I demand to speak with someone in charge who can fix the problem today without any further delays or excuses. Prior to this, we had been customers for 8 years, it's repulsive we are not able to view movies and TV shows that we paid for.

This is the worst customer service ever. Where is the supervisor?

Will steal your movies!
June 13, 2023

I have purchased dozens of movies since before they changed from Fandango Now to Vudu. They replaced one of my purchased movies with a different one with the same title. Multiple contacts to customer service who lie and say they will escalate the matter. Then left hanging for half hour in the middle of a chat! They DO NOT CARE! You buy at your own risk! Never again!

Customer Service
December 17, 2020

Customer service is a joke. They don't own their problem. They blame your internet connectivity. I have about 6 or more movies purchased from Vudu that are unplayable. Thanks Vudu. Taking our family's money elsewhere.

I'm using VUDU to watch walking dead season 6 and the buffering is almost non-stop, 45 seconds of episode 30 seconds of buffering. Funny, issue started at episode 5, episodes 1 -4 did not buffer at all except to start episode then they ran to end without a single problem. My netflix streaming is flawless all hours of day or night. I'll finish watching season 6 then i will not us VUDU anymore.

Wow I'm The Minority!
September 10, 2015

Wow, reading the other reviews, I almost feel guilty.
I've never had a problem with the site. Maybe it's because I have Dish? I don't know, but we've watched all of the Walking Dead, Once Upon a Time, The Following, Blacklist, ect, all with no issues at all. It seems I'm certainly the exception to the rule here! I've Always had problems with Hulu, never with Vudu. Go figure.
My only complaint is the sites UI. Really confusing, difficult to store the movies, and shows you want to watch. I put them in my "Wishlist," which seems to work. Well, anyway, I've not had a problem, so take it with a grain of salt if you wish. Good here.

Vudu has a good selection of new release movies... and you're able to buy movies before they are released anywhere. BUT, who can buy every movie? AND they don't have captions. Even worse, it costs $5 to rent a movie in HDX... for only 24 hours. If they rented HDX for $3 for 48 hours, so it was more competitive with Redbox. I'd never rent from Redbox again. Vudu... you could put Redbox out of business. But, not at the moment.

After signing up with vudu, I started receiving dozens and dozens of junk email daily. I unsubscribe to each of them but they keep coming. If you value what little privacy you have with your email account, do not sign up with vudu as they apparently sell it to every hog, dog and frog there is!

Vudu's services stream just fine. I have 14mbps coming down from them right now
The catch is this: you can't stream using a browser anymore and are stuck using their app. Their really poorly written app.

Don't $#*! about your T-Mobile Tuesdays $#*!, don't complain about conspiracy thoeries, don't moan and groan about buffering. It ain't them in those instances, it's you. Solutions:
Pay for your movie
Buy physical copies
Get better internet.

Their app sucks on PC and their lack of PC browser play support is horrendous.

Also, jaqueline, you're absolutely out of place review made me smile. Thank you!

I've like Vudu except a tendency to have a lot of buffering and when you purchase something like Season 5 of Greenleaf, they don't list anywhere that the season is not fully out yet. I don't keep up on when seasons done on shows and I thought I was purchasing the full Season 5 of Greenleaf for $14.99. I find out only 2 episodes are available. The rest is available on a week to week basis. This info should be listed on the descriptors.

Bad customer service
February 4, 2020

Had an incident where i thought they charged me 2xs. They froze my acct, took forever to respond to anything, forgot where we were in the conversation so i had to repeat everything, then instead of explaining to me what had happened they deleted the movie and threatened to close the acct if it happens again. Rude and a huge waste of time. Im paying money to use your services and your being rude. Dont threaten to close my acct when you could have just politely explained and i would have been happy to apologize and pay.

Don't get VUDU
May 16, 2018

One of the slowest websites I've visited. It takes so long for information to load, family movie night has become a gamble (and a major chore). Poor little kids just want to watch their move. Finally, when I called customer service to address a battery of other issues, they were very rude. Ugh!

T-Mobile offers credit every Tuesday on vudu. But movies integration and viewing sucks and customer service at its worse. Sent them 5 emails didn't hear back. And I called them. Spoke to two different idiots working there and after 54 mins was told no credits would be issued even though this was no fault of mine. T mobile should recall using vudu.

Nonstop buffering
September 25, 2018

As many others have found out you can not get through a movie without buffering every five minutes. And they make it nearly impossible to cancel the account. Do yourself a favor and find some other service!

Vudu Suxs
August 3, 2018

I loved Vudu at first and found tons of content I enjoyed. But after emailing their worthless support people three times about movies that stopped playing mid-way through I never heard a thing back from them. Vudu customer service sucks the big one. Adios Vudu!

You'll lose money
February 24, 2019

Vudu are lying thieves that won't do anything to help you. I have over 300 movies. Two of my movies disappeared. They won't honor and replace my missing movies. Don't risk losing your money with them. I was a loyal fan of them and profitable customer.Not any more. I searched reviews on line and found out im one of many. Some of you reading this will say they are the best, I've had no issues. Well guess what, that used to be me. Once it happens to you you're gonna think back to this post. You've been warned... UPDATE I started posting on fb, IG ect and vudu started blocking my comments so ppl won't know the truth. Use another service or you'll be out money

All fine & good except they're stuck in the early 2000's in regard to streaming quality & speed. Doesn't matter what time of day or night, anything I watch is "unable to stream at HD" or "unable to stream right now." Get with it, upgrade the damn server so it's not constantly slowing down. I know from other reviews this isn't a problem on my end.

Put simply, LIARS
July 21, 2013

Put simply, LIARS. They suck people in via the "10 free movies" offers, then you end up with a nice charge on your credit card, because you of course have to provide that information when you register.

When I called to dispute the charges, the customer service rep was very rude.

Never again.

Stay away
January 3, 2016

Rented a movie on 1/1 and it continually was buffering despite VUDU speedtest which looked OK. Contacted support with no response. Tried again next day and movie stopped midway through because the 24 hr window expired. Second time this has happened. Done with VUDU.
