Not bad!
May 13, 2019

Not bad TV programming, too many commercials during 1/2 hour shows. OH, by the way get off those ZORRO commercials... I have to take a break and watch another streaming channel. My wife and I watched a show on Pluto the other day and watched for almost 4 hours and counted 81 times you showed that Zorro commercial, and most were back to back... and back

Sucked
February 14, 2024

Sure it's free. But if you ever leave the site, you are screwed because the site puts you in a random spot when you open it back up. And when you try and scroll to the correct spot, you have to wait around 3-4 minutes because the site opens commercials every single time you reopen. You also can't get full screen perfectly because the top of your website address bar is showing.

Repetitive programming
January 1, 2024

Everything that has been said about Pluto TV is true, the glitching, the constant buffering, the repetitive ads, all true. But what I cannot understand is why air the same 10 shows over and over again? For instance, the Maury show has 1000's of episodes but only play the same 10 or 20 shows. I stopped watching Pluto for about a year and when I tried watching again, the same episodes were airing.
It's mind boggling that this hasn't been addressed.

Don't bother
January 6, 2023

The interface is terrible. Super wonky, it keeps jumping all over the place. The worst part is if you start a movie, watch half of it, then restart it the next day, it doesn't allow you to pick up where you left off, you have to start at the beginning including having to endure the entire cycle of commercials. $#*! that.

I want to give you five stars but now I'm gonna get rid of you. Because they're playing Spanish commercials on English channels I understand America has a variety of people with a variety of language channels. There's no need to pay Spanish on the English channel.

I like Pluto TV, right up to "Erin from Songbird Coffee and Tea house" 6 times in a row! The commercial is over played and gets to the point of changing the channel, the reference to the president doing something to help small businesses are off base... Please remove the commercial I'm sure Erin has made her money back 10 fold...

Pluto is free which is always nice, but the amount of ads makes watching the shows unenjoyable. My favorite movies turn into my least favorite 2-3 hours of the day. Some ads are ok. But literally every 5 minutes? Are you joking with me right now Pluto? Not only are there ads every 5 minutes, but they are the same repetitive ads every single time there is an ad break. Maybe if you want to make more money from ads create an atmosphere where more people will watch movies through your trash franchise.

This is by far the WORST on-line streaming service I have come along. After opening the WEB address the only thing you see for minutes are ads, ads and more ads. Then it goes dark, … end that's it.
Don'ty come me with "Oh you should have downloaded an app, a this and a a that. Or you need a very special high speed internet, with this and that (which I have), etc
This is a service which at least fort me cvan disappear into oblivion better today than tomorrow.
And honestly don't hope that this is/would be the future of on-line TV …

Format sucks
March 22, 2021

You can't pass forward or pass back really and you can't watch where you left off. Can't search up anything and can only sign in on a browser. Ads every 5 minutes but I mean it's free. The format is terrible not user friendly at all. I tried to pass back 2 minutes and it gave me 10 minutes of ads for it to return to the same time. No exaggeration

Pluto is great!
April 26, 2020

Pluto is great. If you want to wait to see your show for 5 minutes at a time, or if you don't mind watching the same thing you just watched for the last 10 minutes again, or watching the same commercial a hundred times in a row, or if you don't care that your children are able to watch sex, violence and hear profanity at any time of the day. Pluto is great!

Commercials on Pluto bash Trump continuously! If they want to run undecided voters and republicans off, well it's working. I, for one, will not watch a biased station that tells me what I should think, feel, or who I should vote for. We get enough of that on MSNB(S)C and FOX. I will make up my own mind and vote my own choices. Who are you to tell me what I want? Keep your biased crap opinions to your self!

I'm not much of a TV person and only have antenna tv. My daughter thought I might enjoy a bigger selection of channels so she got me a ROKU box. She set it up with Pluto, Roku and Plex. Pluto has one program that I watch. Leverage. I'm stunned that yesterday they were cutting off the end of each episode and starting the next one but they had no problem running ads or just their logo on the screen for 20 seconds. Today they finished season 3 and went to season 1. No idea what happened to seasons 4 and 5. I don't think they know the meaning of "binge watching". Their advertising is the worst I have ever seen. They play way too many "no more truth in advertising" ads from far left PACS. They aren't promoting a candidate, it's just a hatchet job against the president. They even play the same ad twice in one commercial break. I'm not impressed at all and would never recommend them to anyone.

You can find a tv show or movie and start watching, but, if you pause for any length of time, Pluto will shift to another show or movie (not a show in the series you're watching, but an entirely different one). Then you have to hit the back arrow to go back to your show or series, and then it might be an episode you've already watched, and you'll have to hit the forward arrow to find it. In addition, as long as you've got the page open on your computer or tablet, it might start playing a show or movie automatically, say, when you're in bed asleep.

This disgusting excuse for an app download itself to my fiance's phone and that's how we found out it even existed. I thought it was weird and probably a simple mistake until it decided to download tonight into my phone without me knowing! I don't have much room left in my phone so the app made my phone glitch out way bad until I found this virus mimicking app and uninstalled it. I googled to try and figure out why it downloaded itself and only found a bunch more annoyed victims. Beware of this app! They try and argue it's not a virus but it acts EXACTLY like one. =VIRUS

It's a real shame that pluto tv sucks so much to actually use, because they have a great selection of movies. But despite having an account, you can't even save movies to a watchlist? There's no search bar, the website is confusing and convoluted. You can't even use the space bar to pause! The absolute worse part is the advertisements. It's seriously ridiculous, as well as extremely infuriating. Keep your hand on the mute button at all times. I swear there is an ad break every ten minutes, and it's not just a couple ads, it's around 4-5 long ads every break. I'm trying to finish the movie this year. The ad breaks are inconsistent and unpredictable, and if you try to skip back or forward in the movie, get ready for a full 30 minutes of ads and ending up at a random spot in the movie. Illegal websites are more worth your time. Worst streaming site i've used in my life. Screw pluto tv. Go use tubi.

Two things: 1. If you don't have a question that Pluto thinks you might ask, you won't get an answer because Pluto does not allow you to ask them. You can't even make suggestions for improvements. 2. You can't do a title search of their selection of programs. If you are looking for something specific you have to spend all your life reading all of their titles to see if they have it.

They support and show lying democrat commercials they repeat over and over. Sick to death on the Walgreens civic commercials. Now showing how easy it is to go from brushing your teeth to sex. Clean up your commercial choices! Sick of this!

PSAs Please?
May 26, 2019

Pluto TV runs PSAs, or Public Service Announcements, as filler when they don't have a commercial. Please Pluto, give us some variety! The same two are run constantly. Both are similarly themed; gay marriage and transgender. Monotonous.
There are plenty of concerns vying for air time. Plenty of public service variety is available, so why not use it?
One might believe the folks at Pluto are pushing an agenda.

It is so so
September 26, 2018

Not a fan but the comedy area is ok. But it is left wing pure and simple and with plenty of ads. The ads need to be less and better. They occur at odd points and are repetitive. I hate that they promote lefty things like lefty documentaries and left wing news. I skip that area which is no good.
