garbage
freezing all the time
this would be a great app if they got ride of the commercials that show men rapping women.im not exaggerating.. there is some AI thing called the drama chanel or something, and there is a man in the process of raping a female its really disturbing to see that in commercials. I found the company.. its called dramabox. I will definitely be contacting you about this. pretty sure this is legally questionable commercial.
can never watch anything. keep getting error messages saying it is unavailable but it does it with every show I try to play
TOO Many Commercials & Soo long. It's unbearable I get it's free app so they need ads but it's ridiculous the commercial breaks happen often and are very long. it's 99% ads/commercials and 1% what you want to watch not worth dealing constant and long commercial breaks.
useless
Ads are here at last... and they are long and poorly placed, interrupting the flow of films to the point I'd rather just not watch them at all. Furthermore, hitting 'resume' doesn't actual resume to the point you were previously viewing, and so youll have to skip ahead... and what will happen after skipping ahead? Tons and tons of ads. Just another company ruining their service for an extra buck or two. Avoid!
I'm unable on Android to really work with the UI of this software. I can't even toggle subtitles. This needs a lot of work. Comparing it to some other free services like Tubi, this is in a ditch.
not available after installation
The app refuses to open, even with a strong internet connection.
15 ad slots for 1 movie? Every 5 minutes of watching a movie, you get an ad. You lose interest in the movie a quarter of the way. I'd rather use Tubi. Greed is bad. I'm deleting this app.
Pluto really messed up my 4TH of july 😡 by removing MIAMI VICE
this app really SUCKS 💯 can't not block what ever enters the app I give this app 0
useless. picture is very small with line running right through it, can't pause / stop, or change to another program
absolutely the worst " top" streaming app. out of the 6 attempts to "reset" my password and 3 separate update , reset, & redownload my time is better spent with my " Wobbly stool & sturdy rope" playset!!!
some shows I used to watch now broadcast audio but not video. I've even totally reset phone and still not working
I use to love the App & i don't mind commercials. but the commercials are repetitive and irrelevant to 99.9% of the world. (Tampons & Medication) Y'all have changed something with the audio. you can't enjoy a movie for turning the volume up & down between action scenes, talking scenes & commercials... FIX IT! It's awful...
Way way too many comercials! Might as well be watching cable!
Kept interrupting for no reason was looking for film I'd watched!
won't launch. after opening the app, it just sits on the logo screen and doesn't actually launch the app. totally useless.
I didn't think they made apps this broken anymore.
Literally couldn't ever login in
I'm going to tell you again you people need to fix some things every damn time I try to watch a show on your network or your app it seems not to work at all I'm sick and tired of it fix it until you do I'm not loading it back up fix the problem you're not going to then you're not going to have me as a customer
impossible to delete account. signing out and uninstall of app is not the same pluto still retains all information until account deletion. Continual reloop to sign in page when you Try to delete account.
Sucks.. Pluto really sucks!! I like Newsmax. If there were another way to get Newsmax on my TV, I would NEVER use Pluto. Complete Garbage!! The Pluto app constantly loses signal so when it comes back in. The picture and sound is out of sync. If I could give a 0 star I would. I'm back 2 years later. Pluto sucks even more today than ever. But then Paramount owns Pluto. Paramount sucks too. You don't charge anything, because no one would pay for Pluto. I get Paramount free with Walmart. I wouldn't.
it keeps playing pro-israel propaganda Israel is committing a genocide but it is not appropriate to keep showing Christian fundamentalist propaganda expressing support of Israel
it was working just fine yesterday but it's not working at all today
the app opens but as soon as it gets on a channel the app freezes then closes on my Google tv.
I dont mind the ads because its free so I understand all the ads, but after every ad break the audio gets out of sync. it gets worse after every ad and it gets to a point where it is unwatchable. their mouths move then I hear the words a few seconds later.
app does not work on my chrome book cant change channel cant see it.
doesnt work at all. says download from here and doesn't work
nope... ever tried it on Xbox? starts you 6 minutes in on a video. you didn't even watch before or halfway through the film and won't let you rewind it cuz it's still loading the whole time... I contacted them. it didn't help
Freezes after ads bug FIX IT please such a stupid error 🙄
What's the point of an app that isn't accepting sign ups?
used to be good, now shows more ads than anything you watch
Why doesn't Pluto make another app that we pay $2.50 and no commercials! I mean $2.50 monthly fee for no commercials! 😊 It's the annoying too long commercials. Or some make them short but then you get too many!
you keep making free more painful!
im just trying to watch the L word and the stupid ads keep playing like every 10 minutes and then it skips scenes because of the ads. this is so annoying. im broke i cant pay for a subscription. maybe consider making your app actually enjoyable and worth downloading.
App needs to be logged back into multiple times a week. Channel selection screen keeps trying to endlessly load about 25% of the time.
it's not updating anymore on any of my devices and it doesn't have Christmas in July on there. it hasn't been updated since May 12, 2026.
you try waiting around I'd rather not be bothered.
It's got some great TV and movie selections but it's almost impossible to watch PlutoTV because of the incredibly vast volume difference between the actual show and the commercials. Simply ridiculous and I find myself leaving the app often because of this. I lowered my rating after the condescending response I received about the commercials being way louder than the shows. As if I don't understand the monetary concepts of advertising.
they need to update their shows every month and keep the good anime and cartoons like atomic betty and SpongeBob also I would like to see more variety with the cartoons, tv shows and movies they have here so far 2 stars because they keep removing the shows I wanna watch then adding them back just to remove them again which is very stupid
The app is wonderful it has a lot of shows/movies I like, one of the best free streaming services out there (right behind TUBI) ,However whenever I finish a movie it auto plays Gemini Man I do not want to watch Gemini Man, I did not like it when it was in theaters. the fact that Pluto continues to push this movie on to me has made me readjust my previous 4 star rating to a 2 star rating.
Doesn't work on my Samsung TV. Every ad break causes the program to freeze. I have to switch to another channel than go back to previous channel to unfreeze it. Very annoying and I can't enjoy the app,
since the update I can't find the search bar or sign in. was one of my favorite apps until now
are there any other ad that aren't annoyingly repetitive?
Ads are excessive.
sound doesn't sync with the picture.
