Hulu is an interesting streaming platform that has for a long time provided some great shows. Unlike other streaming platforms, Hulu provides a free catalog as well as a premium catalog, both of which are supported by advertisers. Competing platforms do not have advertisements on their content, especially when you're paying for the service. Hulu did eventually introduce a more expensive option that removes general advertisements from the content, but every once in a while I will still get advertisements on certain content where they couldn't remove the advertising. However, there have been numerous times where an episode simply will not load for one reason or another and there are times where content gets removed as I am watching it. It is frustrating not knowing whether or not something is going to be there, but that is a limitation that all streaming platforms seem to have.

Can I give no stars? After having Hulu for a week, I lost closed captions for Hulu on my tv, but not on my iPad. After a frustrating hour on the phone help line with two reps, I had no Hulu service at all on either device. Neither rep seemed to have a clue. In fact, I think the first gal realized she had screwed me up bad and deliberately disconnected me. I cancelled rather than go through more torture. Damn shame because I really wanted to binge on Fargo.

I have used Hulu for years and have always enjoys the format. I thought it was very easy yo use and navigate, i liked the new show notifications, and the organization of the content... but not anymore! I even watched their useless tutorial hoping I missdmed some helpful hints, but nope! Terrible, terrible app! Has to 'load' everytime you open it, the layout is horrible, difficult to manage your content and is just not overall user-friendly. Very disappointed, Hulu. Please go back!

Hulu used to be a user friendly app. Easy to navigate, easy to scroll through shows and episodes to find what you wanted to watch. This new update is ridiculously CRAP! It's terrible! I wish I could rate LESS THAN 1 star! If you're watching an episode and want to skip to the next, you can't! They won't let you! This "New Hulu" is all about how pretty they could have made the app. I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS NEW HULU AND WANT SO MUCH FOR THEM TO CHANGE IT BACK! FOR NOW, I'LL BE WATCHING NETFLIX! BYE HULU!

The new format is useless. You can't view all episodes of a show at once to select from if your only wanting to turn on a particular episode. I find it funny the app itself gives you some direction on what to do because of the lack navigation making sense. I don't quite get it seeing as there's no problem navigating other apps. Everytime I get ahead of my husband and want to go back a few episodes to catch him up it's a whole bunch of pointless pages to get through nothing is stream lined in a way that makes sense. I LITERALLY don't find shows on Hulu anymore because I've resorted to googling whether or not something I hear about is streamed and what its offered on. HULU is getting their subscribers to only care about what they actively search for. If you cared ATALL about your business you would make an easy platform that makes sense in hopes that your subscribers will easily find other shows that interest them so that they continue to use this subscription. This platform I only use because of the certain shows only offered through here. It is sad how easy other apps are. This is not something everyone will adapt to in time, once I'm done with a couple of shows I am canceling my Hulu because it's not worth the hassle! I can only imagine what future upgrades will look like.

This new update (5-10-17) is somehow more useless and broken than before. This is the end of my hulu subscription. I can't find my shows through the techno color gradient bull$#*!. It looks like a teenager spiled that stupid colored powder on the screen. This powder also $#*!ed up any and all user freindly options and now tells you what you going to watch... tv would be better at this point. You $#*!ed yourselves hulu, and in doing so you $#*!ed me too. So $#*! you hulu. Amazon prime and netflix?!?!?! $#*!ers

This service has more commercials than any free site I have used, AND THEN YOU GET A BILL! It is mind boggling how many ads you will watch. If you get lucky and it does not buffer, and you have not pressed any, and I mean any buttons, you may get to watch your program in double its runtime. Keep in mind this is only under PERFECT circumstances, on average it will take far longer. If you like paying to watch ads that Hulu is already being paid to air, then you have found your streaming service. Everyone else, RUN! And please do not give them your credit card #, you'll be sorry.
