★★★★ Lisa MacDougall 5/9/2026 v5.65.0
they don't actually let you delete an account it leads you to a webpage that just gts hung up and they interrupt kid/ family type shows with horror show commercials
★★★★ Thomas McRae 5/9/2026 v5.65.0
Way too many ads. And then I heard an ad about multiple "unskippable" ads for advertisers. I don't mind ads but way too many is too many.
★★★★ Dave 5/8/2026 v5.47.1-leanback

★★★★ Jorge Jorge 5/7/2026 v5.65.0-leanback
app is irresponsive and a message of "we can't play this content at this time, please try it again later ", has been showing in the last 48 hours and applies to all channels
★★★★ Joan Willis 5/6/2026
I am an English speaker and the app only show Spanish movies
★★★★ Linda Strehlow 5/6/2026 v5.65.0
I get that ads are necessary. but 2 minutes of ads for 1 minute of content is excessive and greedy.
★★★★ Clancy’s Fitness 5/6/2026 v5.65.0
Ads are ridiculous way to many you guys are annoying with all the ads makes someone unbearable to watch.
★★★★ Marina 5/5/2026
glitches
★★★★ bla ble 5/5/2026 v5.65.0
tubitv is free also and less documertials.... should be commercial TV instead...of pluto tv.... offers good quality entertainment but those useless TV commercials are very unnecessary. I rate tubitv 4 stars...
★★★★ Honey Love75 5/4/2026
All the channels are black you can hear what's on but you can't see what's on please fix
★★★★ Nathan Kulmer 5/4/2026 v5.57.0-leanback
Will never use Pluto ever again until you include 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound in your content. Those of us with surround sound at home value sound quality. Roku Channel app has 5.1 and it is also free just like Pluto. No reason Pluto can't do the same! Please upgrade the movie experience for us so more people can enjoy using Pluto with a quality 5.1 surround sound experience!
★★★★ Brenda Gail 5/4/2026 v5.65.0
I can't watch it hardly, the connection is bad.
★★★★ Rachel Martinez 5/4/2026 v5.65.0
Doesn't give you a "search" option. You just have to watch the "live" channels:/
★★★★ Luiggi Carrera 5/4/2026 v5.65.0
It have more TV ads than TNT in cable... 😡
★★★★ Phillip Davis 5/3/2026 v5.65.0
app says not compatible with device
★★★★ Karma Kapri 5/2/2026 v5.65.0
It's true they have variety. but the ads are unbearable. it starts out maybe a free 20 minutes, you get 6 30 second unsuitable ads. sure. near the end, those ads pop up every five minutes. I hit an ad right before the final fight scene of my movie and literally after that fight scene, there were 5 more ads. then we got more ads before we could watch the credits? this is beyond "keeping the site free" this is excessive
★★★★ roberta pagan 5/1/2026 v5.64.0-leanback

★★★★ Fredrick Lincoln 5/1/2026 v5.65.0-leanback

★★★★ Vince Ring 5/1/2026 v5.65.0

★★★★★ Mathew Kirkey 5/9/2026 v5.65.0
sucks
★★★★★ John 5/9/2026 v5.65.0
would be better but. the tv application is a very very sorry user friendly experience. randomly kicked me out of watching an on demand show. random pauses. slow response to inputs. No setting to not go into "live tv" on opening. no easy way to restart a show if u need to play from the beginning. Id rather watch on my phone than the tv
★★★★★ 1/2 the lies i tell are not true 5/7/2026
I get needing ads because they pay for the free shows. but vod gave me at minimum 8 2 minute ad breaks per half hour show. ads are way too excessive for me
★★★★★ Christian Sayer 5/7/2026 v5.65.0
As decent as the Pluto app runs and you really get good quality movies.. Only annoying thing is that shows never get changed its the shows over and over again. You would think there is enough interesting media available to get a consistent chnage.
★★★★★ MD MJ 5/5/2026 v5.65.0
Now that PlutoTV is becoming part of Paramount PLUS, I guess my friends will have a lot more stuff to pirate from elsewhere. *** Not me, though. I love and will always fully support increasing all ads, as well as slowly removing customer convenience in exchange for more potential money. It's the beauty of capitalism. Thank God for torrents (or so I've been told).
★★★★★ Darcey Middleton 5/5/2026 v5.65.0-leanback
I find that there is far too many commercials based on the facts that this is owned by Paramount Productions a multi-million or billion dollar company I don't mind that they advertise for Paramount Plus but I do feel that the amount of ads that they put on are most ridiculous for the little time you get to watch and get interrupted in your movie me personally if this was not a free app I wouldn't even waste my time
★★★★★ Mary matson 5/1/2026 v5.41.0
