Love the programming, news, classic TV and movies, science shows, etc. But pluto TV is oversaturated with adverts. Many of the adverts are scams, such as non FDa approved health, weight loss, testosterone snKe oil always at a high price and AUTO SHIPMENt of their bad products. THIS IS WHY PLUTO IS PRACTICALLY UNWATCHABLE.

Great Site, horrible ads.
December 20, 2022

The site is great but the ads are awful, repetitive and incredibly annoying. I haven't ever been to a channel broadcasting on TV or live streaming that has been doing nothing but playing the most grating repetitive commercials. The obnoxious South Park ads going: " YOU'Ve BEEN PLAYING RED DEAD REDEMPTION?!?!11 " and this sperg from some funniest video compilation show going: " BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZZ " over and over again like a child.
If there was anything more annoying in life I couldn't name it.

Laggy and aggravating
October 25, 2021

The app is laggy, gets stuck playing in the background often, and the interface/navigation is frustrating to use. Commercials are awful and too 'left-leaning' for my taste.
Disappointing.

Trash. Skips in episodes to different scenes already watched, repeats the same commercial break back to back. Paramount+ pukes out the same 8 commercials for shows every time.

Constant interruptions
December 13, 2020

Want to watch an entire episode of a show? Great. Watch the first half or so, along with about 15 commercials. Then watch it slow down, lag, freeze up, and exit the application.

So go back in, find the episode you already watched half of, and fast forward to about where you the show crashed. Watch even more commercials to get back to close to where you were, then watch part of the show you already saw and more commercials. Great, right?

Nope. Towards the end of the show, it'll crash yet again. This time, you can't get back to where you were. If you try to fast forward past the halfway point of the show, it'll zip right to the end and start the next episode. So this time, fast forward to the midpoint. Watch five or six commercials you've already seen four or five times. After the commercials end, fast forward to where you think the show might have crashed. Watch another five or six commercials for the fifth or sixth time. Watch part of the show you've already seen to get back to where it crashed.

If you're lucky, the show you're watching will only crash twice. If you're not, expect to do this at least three times. So enjoy your forty-five minute show in just under 70 minutes after all the fast forwarding and rewatching of commercials.

If you like to be annoyed and frustrated, this is the app for you. All the bad parts of watching television—commercials and repetition—over and over and over again.

It needs work.
August 27, 2018

Its a good idea, and I get where it comes from, I'm even on board with the reality of it. Cause lets face it, millions of homes buy cable and over the air TV an do nothing but sit on social media, youtube and other sites all day. Nobody watches "TV" anymore. Its good that they want to come up with a solution for this, but it has issues. Most of the channels are sub 720p and even in the case of the 4K channel... its not in 4k by the way. The ads they give you have no real mesh with the channel they're displayed on, and some of them are even offensive. Which compounds the offense by playing the same ad over and over again.
The ideas for the channels are good, but they're going to need the backing of what already pulls in the most views on normal cable TV. They lack Sci Fi, MTV, BET, Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, AMC, FX, CNN or Fox News just to name some of the largest draws on regular TV.
Its a great idea, and if you don't bother with any of the channels I mentioned above and have finally gone fully digital running nothing to your home except the Internet, then its an ok solution for the time being. But in order for this thing to break the wall and hit the mainstream, it needs more mainstream channels, more mainstream sponsors, and more mainstream technology. Destroying a large chunk of their user base by offering sub optimal resolutions at full screen... won't help the cause.

Fast-forward
March 3, 2022

It doesn't make real sense to leave the living room TV and go to the bedroom TV. And have to go through all the Damm commercials to get to where you left off in the living room. NO SENSE. MAKES NO DAMM SENSE. FIX THAT. GOING TO LEAVE THIS MESSAGE ON FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM AND TWITTER. FIX IT PLEASE.

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.

Tosh. 0 channels shows same 4 episodes over and over and over. Too many political channels and they will repeat same commercial sometimes 3-4 times in a row... ZYM for example.

Very poor
June 1, 2023

Decent programing, but overall service sucks plain and simple you try to complain about problems with this service they do not have the decent courtesy to reply to your inquiries, they always change when you first come to the sight and are expecting the numerical channel line up, but NO you have to try and navigate through their B/S and see all channels available, which makes it next to impossible to get back to the numerical line up so over all if I could I would rate "PlutoTV" a very negative and I MEAN NEGATIVE 100 NEGATIVE STARS ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE

Commercials are horrible to start with. What makes it totally unbearable is YOUR ACTUAL AD FOR PLUTO TV!
If I am watching, Why do I need the damn app? STOP IT! BROKEN RECORD!
Every 5 mins? It's like watching a Blu ray or DVD menu or a cable provider's instructional video over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. STOP IT! F_CK!?!?!?!
People are fragile after a pandemic, they are all lonely with anxiety, stress and mental health issues and don't need to be badgered by unnecessary nonsense like your app. PUT A BIG FREAKING D/L BUTTON but leave the viewers alone!
Also change up the available episodes of the TV programs you offer. Within a week I am done here! I mostly like just reno TV and have found there are just a hand full of episodes of any specific show that repeat over and over. Hum, a pattern forming?

The good? You offer this streaming but the bad is you're chasing viewers away with repeated annoying tripe. You are worse than having paid for cable TV.
Why not try loading commercial ads used in past Superbowl shows?
It's odd, different, spontaneous and provides great advertising.
I am not a sports fanatic but have heard they are at least entertaining and funny to view.
For now, I guess I'll go D/L my shows by torrent.
What a shame.
