I've been trying to watch several movies on demand but they only play for about 20-25mins then it goes back to my Roku home screen. Please fix this... otherwise the app is useless.

Great shows but good luck being able to follow or enjoy any of them
No ad free version available
Same commercials ran over and over
Big waste of time!
Worse than watching an infomercial!

Jesus Christ!

Please stop showing the same D#m commercials over and over I don't mind commercials, butt please mix it up a little, When you show the same thing over and over whatever it is you trying to sell, I begin to hate it after 12 times seeing it. Like Cheri Beasley I want to vote for her now.

I was excited when I heard about Pluto TV where you can watch TV. I like classic Game Shows, but it turns out that you're just watching old stuff which can be tiresome and a BIG pain! Please Pluto TV give us updated live shows and updated live sports.

I can't even watch several channels because they cut out and buffer too much. It's a tremendously unreliable service. Also, they play waaaay too many commercials.

Eh
May 16, 2021

Pluto TV is one of the few streaming websites out there that are free, which is nice. Although, I can't bring myself to give it more than two stars being of the annoyance of the ads. I was trying to was a move called "30 Days of Nights." Personally, it's not a very good movie, but I'm not here to review the movie, I'm here to review the streaming service. I can't describe how excruciatingly irritating it is to have an ad pop up every ten minutes. It doesn't even give you a warning. Personally, I'm one of those people that wouldn't mind a warning, because it simply tells me that they care about our experience, and that they would like to tell us ahead of time. Although, the amount of ad usage is unhealthy and not okay. Even during the somewhat good parts of the movie, there's a sudden ad popping up. I would rant more, but that would be wasting my time. In summary, if you don't mind the annoyance of ads popping up on your screen with a free streaming service, then Pluto TV is good for you.
Besides the negatives, there are some positives. The movies and series are good, and are there for people that cannot access streaming services that cost money. I'm the type of person to get irritated easily, so maybe I'm overreacting about the ads, but it is annoying. But anyways, I'm going to watch the second movie despite how crappy the first one was, because I'm curious about what happens next.

I have created two tickets for support. As of this date I have heard nothing from them. I understand it is a free service, but to me that price is too high.

If you leave and come back for any reason, it will lose your place and to find it you have to again watch 6 ads at a time, multiple times while searching.

Failure to load
January 4, 2023

I attempted to watch a movie, Jay and silent bob strike back, and every few minutes it would start buffering and return to the point we last paused at, it would not even save that pause point unless we backed out and went back in. Continously interrupted by that same $#*! again and again. An hour and 44 minute movie turns into at least 2 and a half hours just to get through it before we even finished the thing. WORST STREAMING SITE EVER NEVER USING AGAIN!

Commercials
February 21, 2024

Worst app for free TV. I know they have to have commercials but the political and pharmaceutical commercials are ridiculous. Political is one sided and pharmaceuticals are disgusting.

Now they will not stop pestering you to sign in.
Seems they are not getting rich enough from commercial ads and need your data to sell too.

Beside the glitching and force injecting the Commerical adds they keep screwing with the Guide to the point that it is not useable.

To many commercials
November 2, 2019

I liked it when I first started watching. Now I'm missing to much of the shows because there are to many commercials. Would love to be able to watch a show from start to finish.

Pluto TV SUCKS
March 6, 2023

Pluto TV is the only app that either freezes or completely blacks out (black screen). Sometimes the blackouts last long enough that my TV shuts down. Ridiculous!

I used to watch Pluto more than anything on my smart TV, but I am seriously considering a new TV program for free tv. The shows need updated, too many repeat episodes and movies. The Verizon/Frontier commercials are SUPER ANNOYING because they play EVERY commercial break and they are the same singing ones of the house flipper and the quintuplets. I am so tired of these commercials! UPDATE SHOWS, MOVIES AND COMMERCIALS! If these updates are done, this would be a much better way to watch TV.

We actually liked Pluto tv because my children loved watching Nick Jr. But now all of the sudden it is unavailable. It was the only reason we used Pluto tv. We will no longer be using that app.

Not happy
July 25, 2022

I have been trying to watch a movie on Pluto it would go on commercial and it gets stuck and it would keep going on the same part over and over and over and over and when I would try to forward it you cannot forward it because it's on commercial or rewind so it would go back to the beginning this is not cool I'm not happy about this you guys need to fix it or do something cuz this is not cool and I'm not happy with this at all I'm sure you guys get a lot of complaints so you guys need to fix it cuz I'm not happy I feel like just taking you guys off my freaking TV on my phone so you guys need to do something

Closed captioning

Pluto's CC can't be FCC Accessibility compliant. Telling the Deaf community how to turn CC off/on (you really think we are that stupid?) Is your answer to non-compliance.

You NEVER see an ad on ANY of these channels that isn't FOR the left. Its sickening to see these ads that blame Trump for EVERYTHING that their party is TOTALLY guilty of. TOTALLY BIAS PLUTO! Never a positive as to conservative values. Just Democrat LIES

Every single commercial break lately they've allowed the running of an ad by America First Legal (100% false rating from PolitiFact) spewing 100% lies. That's not responsible.
