Weird movies and loading problems
For years it’s the same problem. It won’t load on wifi OR network. Usually it’s apparent immediately, for some reason 13 seconds after starting something it’ll stop. Nothing will make it start again except not using the app for hours or days.
It took 3 days to finish Rosalie goes Shopping because it would cease loading at random times during the movie. It does this on any device, any network, any time you update the app it doesn’t change a thing. Restarting, deleting and redownloading, nothing. Doesn’t matter what movie or show I’m watching, it’ll just stop working. You’ve fluffed the reviews with so many fake 5 stars no one can tell.
Also I notice roughly half the movies on here are overly sexual or have a lot of vomiting. It’s weird. Why? Even if it’s a mainstream movie they made to sure get the ones with nudity or throwing up. Super bizarre. I’m not a prude but it’s so much that I expect it in each title I open. Either it won’t load or someone is naked or sick.
All of this is still true months later. I can’t get even start most movies because they simply don’t work.

Ruined by casino app ads
This used to be my favorite free video streaming app… huge library with some ads. No big deal. Canceled my Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Paramount, & Shudder and just watched Tubi… for years now.
Then this year something happened. 90% of the ads, or more, are for casino slot apps. Over and and over and over. I saw so many slot machine app ads eventually i figured “what the hell, I’ll download one and spin during commmercials since I’m force to watch it anyway, who knows maybe I’ll win”
I never really gambled before this. I maybe buy 1 or two lottery tickets a year. But soon i found myself downloading every single gambling app I see a commercial for. I was no longer watching tv shows and movies on Tubi, I was just playing it in the background while i played slot machine apps
Everytime i would near the minimum amount to withdraw, my luck would sour and I’d lose everything in the blink of an eye.
I decided after a month of this that the apps were all rigged and would probably never let most people win just like at Casinos.
But I was hooked on chasing that jackpot now, and turned to other apps like Kalshi and Polymarket where I’ve mad much more success, but that’s besides the point.
The point is that these nonstop gambling ads are dangerous, I went from someone who rarely gambles to someone with a gambling addiction in one month, and I don’t just blame the gambling apps themselves…
I also blame the politicians and companies like Tubi that allow these gambling app companies to just brainwash people into becoming gambling addicts by showing them 5 back to back gambling app ads every 20 min every time they watch a 90 min movie.
It’s completely immoral and irresponsible. I don’t have a problem with gambling itself, I have a problem with the way it’s being promoted.
That being said, I will be sadly be deleting Tubi and not coming back until this practice of nonstop gambling ads ends. Deuces

Tubi
Keeps saying movie can't be played
Their adds are way to long
Way to many adds and their long like 30 sec
Crashing
My shoes keep crashing
PUT BAD GIRLS CLUB ALL SEASONS BACK ON TUBI
PUT BAD GIRLS CLUB ALL SEASONS BACK ON TUBI!!!!
App SUCKS!!!!!!
So your app sucks!!! Even after your silly little update it still sucks!! Constantly buffering and interrupting everything I watch. Can’t get through an episode of anything without it buffering every three seconds.
Don’t get it. not worth it.
I keep getting an error code, saying the video does not play. Funny enough the commercials play just fine.

Buffering
Version 10.25.0 the recent update sucks ever more. All the videos still buffering the whole time. Whoever works on this app needs to fix this issue now!!! I am so frustrated with you guys. This is a free app and I’m having more trouble with this than any other app. Just do an update and fix the buffering!!!
My Stuff not working
You need to fix the app. You can’t save shows like Conan or YouTubers or random shows to my stuff and I’m not the only one having problems. If your parent company can buy Roku for billions, I’m sure you can fix this problem!
Commercials
Way too many commercials and the worst part is that they play the same commercials over and over!
can yall stop taking all the good stuff off bruh
so like yall took coraline off and are now going to take dark harvest off… AND yall are taking she’s the man off.. can we not? 😔

Great shows and movies available
But the app always has issues and at times it makes it feel like the great shows and movies aren’t worth the trouble due to the app constantly having issues and not working
Ad’s and Ad’s
Tubi has more Ad’s than regular television and cable combined. Why 2 stars, because it’s free.
