Too many ads!!
They are showing more ads more often. Stupid ones! This app doesn’t not work well anymore. I have DELETED IT.
Lied about adding 100 cartoons 3/1/26!
Still waiting for tiny toon adventures and all the other shows you said would be added on 3/1/26. False advertising and deliberate misleading.
I don’t like it
With all the ads they show it’s not worth it. They show more than regular tv.
Movies Not Playing
Taking too long to load, and then after pausing or trying to go back to a point, it takes forever to load again.
Tubi is a great service - their app is not good
I love Tubi, they have a great selection and the ads are minimal. Their app is awful, though, it has so many issues with buffering and “encountering an error” that sometimes you’re lucky to even make it through a show. If they fixed that, they would legitimately be the best streaming service available.
I hated this!
First, tubi I redownloaded it twice and it kept saying error 02 whatever! All I want to do is watch dance moms but I can’t! Tubi you better fix this now!
Too many ads too frequently
Ive complained multiple times about the amount of ads I watch during movies or tv shows and the devs/support don’t give a rats azz. I’m deleting my account due to watching ads every 5 mins or less. Just wanted to give anyone a heads up before they decided to download the app.
Movies
Every time I try to watch the movies buffer really bad
Child’s play
When I watch certain movies it literally freezes
Update doesn’t do anything
You all need to take off the stupid movies and put action and fighting movies and get rid of the stupid commercials there’s too many commercials every 5 seconds if you’re going to update something make sure everything works
Why do streaming services do this sometimes?
Why have my favorite TV show show Married with Children on Tubi if you’re only gonna have 3 seasons available at a time and not the rest of the seasons. Just have all 11 seasons for the show available at the same time for crying out loud!
Fix it
The app is great up until you accidentally get off the app then you can not continue to watch your show bc it will have the loading symbol up on the screen and then say something went wrong this happens even after the update please fix this problem because i would love to continue my show
Buffering
Same complaint as others-love the app except for the constant buffering. I’ve tried every troubleshooting idea I could think of, no go. Contacted support, sent all information they asked for, never heard back
DOES NOT WORK!
Does not work constantly looking for signal and error pop ups. Not worth the time. I only give this app 1 start because you can download this junk.
Scam ads
The app works fine and the movies and tv shows are great. But every ad is for the same scam casino apps. And they are the only ads we see which is so annoying.
Bug fixes
Needs to get their bug fixes in check
Error code
Error code no matter wat u do
Buffy and Angel go together.
If you’re going to add Angel make sure to add Buffy the vampire slayer because they have crossover episodes where it impacts the show.
Sooooooo many ads!
Its was ok for what it is. A little difficult to navigate for one. They did try to categorize the genres, but could be better. Many titles ive never heard of lead me to at least look at the trailor to see if it is appealing.
My biggest issue is when you want to see information or a trailor about the movie but it won’t give it until ya watch two or three minutes of ads. This process makes finding something to watch can take a half hour or even more. Dont get me wrong, after quite some time looking, something good will finally appear. Sometimes the search process just gets a bit lengthy and frustrating where i just close app and view something else on tv or another platform. that i just close app and give it another try later. You’ll get ad interruptions and breaks about every 10 to 15 minutes of viewing.
So i give 3 stars for all the time and effort it takes to find something. Been watching less and less Tubi these days.
So a while later i am back with an update. These ads are really ruining this app. And also ruining people’s interest in other apps. My rating is going from 3 stars down to 2 stars. I am tired of these ads. Im watching 5 minutes of ads every 10 minutes. Many more ads than when ya watch tv itself. I dont actually finish most shows cuz i keep stopping and giving up. I am seriously considering deleting and forgetting all about this app. More ads than watch time.
