Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: A Free Streaming App with Some Flaws

Pluto TV is a streaming app that has been around for a while now. It's a free app that offers a variety of channels that you can watch on your phone, tablet, or TV. However, there are some things that could be improved.

One of the biggest issues with Pluto TV is that you can't pause, rewind, or fast forward. This means that if you miss something, you just miss it. It's like old-fashioned TV, which sucks. Another issue is that there are too many ads. Every 10 or so minutes, you might get the dreaded "PlutoTV will be right back" screen, and it lasts for several minutes. It's frustrating to have to sit through so many ads.

Another issue is that there are too many channels of just one show, like The Love Boat and Gunsmoke. It would be better if they just put the whole shows on there, like Hulu and Netflix do, and not take up so many channels. There could be channels like the thriller channel showing old thriller shows, soap opera channel, western channel, etc that show shows in the category rather than just one.

Pluto TV also doesn't have any original content, which makes the app much less appealing than other free streaming apps. However, it does have old shows and movies, and it has music video channels. Other than that, it's a pretty simple and pretty lame app.

If Pluto TV added the rewind, fast forward, and pause and record features, it would be MUCH better. These features would make it easier to watch the shows and movies that you want to watch, and it would make the app more appealing to users.

Overall, Pluto TV is a decent app, but it has some issues that need to be addressed. If you're looking for a free streaming app, it's worth checking out, but don't expect it to be perfect.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: Lack of Variety and Annoying Commercials Driving Viewers Away

I watch Pluto TV a lot, but I'm starting to watch it less. I usually watch the crime shows like Forensic Files and 48 hours, but they never show anything different. I'll see the same episode 4 to 5 days after watching it. It's getting boring. I started leaving it on for the sound, but then they started showing the most annoying commercials that nobody else shows. They show the same commercials over and over again. I know all about women's products, and I don't need to see a bunch of them doing it to convince me. It's getting on my nerves.

People who love Pluto TV and are telling everyone else to turn the channel if they don't like it can bite me. I'm turning the channel like so many others, and I might not be coming back. If they keep choosing commercials (money) over people, there might not be anyone left watching, except for the die-hard fans.

If I were young and hadn't seen all the movies and stuff they are showing, and my family couldn't afford pay stations, I would probably give it 5 stars plus. I don't want anyone thinking I'm not a little open-minded. But for me, it's 2 1/2 stars.

Pluto TV has a lot of potential, but they need to show more variety in their programming. They also need to show different commercials instead of the same ones over and over again. If they can do that, I might start watching it again.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: Frustrating and Repetitive, with Obnoxious Commercials and Limited Content Variety

Pluto TV (pluto.tv) can be a bit frustrating at times. It freezes up on main programs, but never on commercials, which are frequent, repetitive, and obnoxious. Some of them produce zero ad revenue and are therefore 100% unnecessary. The movie channels are also the same old movies over and over. However, if you're a fan of older westerns and western TV from the 1950's and 1960's, you'll enjoy those. But again, the same old movies/TV shows repeat OVER AND OVER. At least CMT westerns and those made in the last 20-25 years are not too numerous, because they are garbage, not only in my opinion but on other sites with customer reviews, like IMDb.

Shout TV and a couple of other stations have some rarely seen horror movies from the 1970's and 1980's. If you love documentaries, the Pluto documentary channel is mostly crap and... REPETITIVE. The music channel is average at best, showing the same old live concerts over and over. Night Flight was a great show, but you only see the same excerpts over and over, and I have yet to see New Wave Theater, the best thing ever on Night Flight. The classical music channel is rather boring, with every performance looking like it was shot on cheap videotape. No documentaries on composers. Unlike most people, I am a big fan of classical music as well as popular music.

The "news" channels suck, and are geared towards American sheeple, with some CNN, far-right-wing garbage, and "to the left of woke" TYT being the only non-right-wing show. CBS has a monopoly on local news from across the country. A couple of NBC droppings are offered, like The Today Show, which is embarrassing enough without having the daughter of a war criminal/profiteer acting all airhead and sunny. She LOVES her daddy.

The EXPLORE section is horrible. Nothing but WWII/Hitler, paranormal and alien BS, and tired JFK conspiracy crap. Pluto TV is free, if you call having to constantly mute the volume when ads are playing FREE. Media in general online is all the condemnation of capitalism one needs, even though the evils of it are innumerable. Pluto is just another example of the collapse of Western civilization.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: Technical Glitches, Incomplete Catalog, and Biased Ads Eclipse Its Potential

As someone who doesn't typically watch a lot of TV and mostly depends on an antenna signal for their viewing pleasures, I was intrigued when my daughter introduced me to Pluto TV through a ROKU box. The prospect of a wider array of channels and programming options was exciting, to say the least. However, my experience with Pluto TV has been less than satisfactory.

Out of all the programs and channels available on Pluto, I only found one show that I really enjoyed: Leverage. But even when I tried to watch it, I found issues with the streaming itself. The endings of each episode were cut off with no warning, and then the next episode would start before the previous one had even finished. Meanwhile, ads and Pluto's logo would run for an excessive amount of time, interrupting the flow of the programming.

And then there's the matter of the seasons themselves. Pluto's catalog seemed oddly incomplete, as I found that they would skip from season 3 of Leverage directly to season 1, with no obvious explanation. This lack of clarity and consistency was incredibly frustrating for me, particularly when I was trying to follow the progression of the show's storylines.

Worst of all, I found the advertising on Pluto TV to be grating and biased. They were peppered with political ads from PACS that had a distinctly left-leaning slant. These ads were often repetitive and even played twice in a single commercial break, which only added to my irritation. It felt like Pluto TV was more interested in pushing a political agenda than in giving me enjoyable, well-curated programming.

Overall, I can't say that I would recommend Pluto TV to anyone, given my subpar experience with it. Their technical issues, incomplete programming catalog, and biased advertising have all contributed to a sense of disappointment and annoyance that far outweighs any potential benefits they might offer.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: Unreliable Resuming and Endless Commercials Ruin the Experience

My experience with Pluto TV started out promising - settling in for a long movie or show knowing that it was completely free was a great feeling. However, things quickly took a turn for the worse when I had to leave the program about 75 minutes in. I assumed that when I came back to it the next night, the app would magically remember where I left off and resume from that point. Unfortunately, this was not the case.

As frustrating as it was to discover that Pluto TV didn't have a reliable way to resume programming, things got even worse when I saw that the app would actually start the episode or movie from the beginning, no matter how far along I had gotten before. I figured there must be some sort of workaround, so I tried to fast forward to where I had left off... only to discover that Pluto TV wouldn't let me go past the next commercial break.

For the next 15-20 minutes, I was forced to watch the same four commercials over and over again. It felt like a cruel joke - I was willing to watch ads to keep using the app, but making me do so just to resume a program I had already started was absurd. I tried everything I could think of to get around the commercials or get back to where I had left off, but every attempt was met with frustration and disappointment.

In the end, I was able to get back to where I had left off, but only after enduring six commercial breaks and feeling like I had wasted a significant amount of my time. I know that there are plenty of free TV apps out there, and I would love to continue using Pluto TV, but the complete lack of any sort of reliable resuming function makes it almost unusable. It's a shame, because there is plenty of great content to be found on Pluto TV, but the way it's presented and delivered makes it a garbage app in my book.

Pluto TV Review: Pluto TV - Impressive Movie Selection but Disappointing User Experience and Excessive Advertising

Pluto TV, a streaming service that boasts of an impressive selection of movies, unfortunately falls short in terms of its user experience. One of the biggest drawbacks of the platform is the absence of a watchlist function, which restricts users from easily adding movies to their personal list of films to watch later. Notably, the absence of a search bar makes it quite challenging for users to sift through the vast array of content on the website.

Moreover, the website layout seems rather haphazard, with no clear demarcation of genres and categories, contributing to a confusing overall user experience. As if the website's usability was not enough of an issue, the streaming quality itself is questionable, with users reporting frequent buffering and delays when trying to stream content on even high-speed internet connections.

One of the most significant downsides of Pluto TV is its excessive advertising, which can feel overwhelming and incessant. Watching movies on this platform can be a tedious experience due to ad breaks that appear every ten minutes, each consisting of multiple long ads. Such frequent advertisement interruptions not only hinder the viewing experience but can also be a major turn-off for users.

Furthermore, the timing and frequency of advertisements on Pluto TV seem to be unpredictable, making it almost impossible to plan or anticipate the ad breaks. If a user attempts to skip back or fast forward through a movie, the platform might compensate by playing a full 30 minutes of ads, which seems highly excessive.

In conclusion, despite Pluto TV's vast collection of movies, its drawbacks significantly detract from its overall value as a streaming service. With much more user-friendly and better-curated platforms like Tubi available, it's tough to recommend Pluto TV to anyone looking for a smooth and streamlined streaming experience.

Pluto TV Pluto.tv Review: Free TV, but at What Cost?

Looking for a service that provides free TV stations? Look no further than Pluto.tv! While this may seem like a dream come true, it's important to note that they do have to make money somehow. Unfortunately, that often comes through advertising - which can quickly become frustrating.

For example, have you ever sat through the same ad six times in a row? It's not unusual with Pluto.tv. Even worse, some of the ads are downright offensive, which can make it hard to enjoy the content you're trying to watch.

What's even more frustrating is that the ads seem to play at random. You never know when your show or movie will be interrupted, which can be an unwelcome surprise. Plus, if you want to change channels, you guessed it - you have to sit through six more ads just to get to the video you want to watch. And if you decide you don't like that channel and switch again? Six more ads.

One reviewer shared his experience of watching a movie when it "came back from a commercial break and then 'two minutes later' went right back to 6 back to back IKEA commercials." If that sounds like something you want to avoid, you may want to think twice before using Pluto.tv.

To be clear, Pluto.tv does offer some great shows for free. But until they can figure out a way to monetize their content without treating viewers like walking wallets, it's hard to recommend them. After all, nobody wants to feel like their time is being disrespected by money-hungry advertisers.

Pluto TV Underwhelming Experience with Pluto TV: Glitches, Commercials, and Missing Shows

I recently tried out Pluto TV, as I had heard it was a great platform to watch some of my favorite news and talk shows. However, my experience so far has left me feeling quite underwhelmed. On one occasion, I was watching LevinTV on Blaze Live when it suddenly cut to commercials at around 1:25 pm. While I was okay with this initially, as it's something that often happens on TV, I quickly realized that the program had not returned even at 1:37, leaving me feeling frustrated and disappointed.

To make matters worse, upon switching channels and returning to the program, I was faced with Pluto's colored streamers, which persisted until a new ad commenced. At this point, it was already 1:40 and the commercials just kept coming. While I am used to commercials, there is a limit to how much I can tolerate. I could switch back to pay TV, but since my favorite news and talk shows are only available on Pluto, that's not a viable option for me.

The worst part of my experience, however, was when I tried watching LevinTV and discovered that it was mysteriously missing from the platform. It only came back on at 1:55, which means I had to sit through thirty minutes of repetitive commercials. Given the constant glitches and disruptions I've experienced on Pluto, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who needs a reliable platform to catch their favorite shows.

In fact, I've noticed that Pluto TV seems to be getting worse and worse over time. While I'm willing to choke down the occasional errant bean, like an unwanted side dish on my Mexican plate, I'm not sure I can keep using it if things don't improve. With the return of sports in the near future, I am seriously considering switching to another platform. All in all, I'd give Pluto TV a zero-star rating if I could, but I'll have to settle for a one-star rating instead.

Pluto TV Review: Pluto TV - Endless Entertainment and Annoying Commercials

Pluto TV is a fantastic free streaming platform that offers a wide range of TV shows, movies, sports news, and other entertainment. With constantly updated content, viewers will never get bored or feel that they have been stuck watching the same selection for too long.

One thing that has been noticed is a change in the guide view. Previously the platform gave a brief description of the movie, but now it seems that if you want to know about a particular movie, the only way to get an idea is to watch it or Google it. However, this doesn't really detract from the enjoyment of the movie experience.

The downside to using Pluto TV, however, is the commercials. While advertising is inevitable on any platform or medium, the frequency with which commercials are repeated can be somewhat annoying. One user reported seeing the same local state politician's competition bashing commercial at least 40 times during one movie, with some breaks showing the commercial repeatedly. The good news, however, is that the commercials tend to pertain to the local area, which is a nice touch.

If we had to make one request, it would be to add Two and a Half Men (Charlie Sheen episodes only) as its channel, much like The Love Boat and The Addams Family. It would make for a fantastic addition to the platform's current programming lineup. Overall, however, Pluto TV is an excellent free streaming option with an impressive variety of entertainment options.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: Free Streaming with a Catch

Pluto TV is a streaming website that caught my attention due to its unique feature of being free. I was curious to try it out, particularly to watch a movie called "30 Days of Nights". However, my experience with Pluto TV was not entirely positive.

Firstly, the amount of ads that pop up frequently is unbearable. The constant disruptions in the middle of the movie are extremely annoying, especially since they do not give any warnings before playing. As a viewer, I appreciate when streaming platforms give a heads-up about ads as it shows they value our time and experience. However, the extreme and excessive ads on Pluto TV make it impossible to enjoy the movie without constant interruption.

Aside from the ads, Pluto TV does have some great content such as movies and series that are not easily accessible on other paid streaming platforms. I personally enjoyed having access to content that I wouldn't have been able to watch otherwise. However, the quality of some of the content is questionable.

Despite my frustrations with the ads and the questionable quality of some content, I did continue to watch the second movie of the '30 Days of Nights' series just to see what happens next. It shows that despite the issues, Pluto TV has some compelling content that is worth watching.

In conclusion, if you can handle the constant barrage of ads and don't care about the quality of the content, Pluto TV might be a good streaming service option for you. However, if you value uninterrupted movie experiences and high-quality content, there are other paid streaming platforms that may be more suitable for you.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: An Interesting Idea with Room for Improvement

Pluto TV (pluto.tv) is an interesting concept that aims to address the growing trend of people spending endless hours on social media, YouTube and other websites instead of watching traditional cable TV broadcasts. The idea behind Pluto TV has a lot of merit, and its creators deserve credit for trying to solve this problem. However, the platform is not without its challenges.

One of the main issues with Pluto TV is the quality of the channels. Most of them are subpar, with resolutions that are below 720p. Even the 4K channel is not really 4K. Additionally, the ads can be intrusive and often have no relation to the content viewers are watching. Some of them are even downright offensive and can become repetitive when played over and over again.

Another issue raised by some users is the lack of mainstream channels that already have a large following on regular cable TV. Sci Fi, MTV, BET, Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, AMC, FX, CNN or Fox News, among others, are currently missing, which could make Pluto TV less attractive to some viewers.

Despite these shortcomings, Pluto TV remains a viable option if you don't care for mainstream channels. It provides an interesting array of channels that may appeal to niche audiences looking for something different. However, if the company wants to appeal to a broader audience, it needs to offer more mainstream channels, attract more mainstream sponsors, and improve its technology.

In conclusion, Pluto TV is a good idea that is worth considering if you're seeking something different than the typical cable TV channels. However, it has some challenges to overcome to break into the mainstream, including questionable video quality, repetitive and jarring ads, and a lack of mainstream channels that draw in large audiences. Despite these issues, the platform is a solid option for people who have gone fully digital and are looking for a unique viewing experience.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: Pros and Cons of Streaming Platform with Free Channels

When seeking a streaming service to watch your favorite shows, there are numerous options to choose from. However, if you are considering Pluto TV, there are some elements to be aware of. While the platform offers a wide range of shows and channels, the viewing experience may not be seamless for everyone.

Firstly, watching a complete episode on Pluto TV may require patience. An episode may have multiple commercial breaks, which may interfere with the flow of the show. In addition, the streaming may slow down or even freeze, causing the application to close abruptly.

If this happens, you may feel frustrated and decide to resume watching the show from where it stopped. However, this might not be a straightforward process, as finding the precise location from where you left off may be challenging. Furthermore, there may be issues with the fast-forwarding feature, which may cause it to jump too far ahead or even skip over part of an episode.

Re-watching parts of an episode and viewing commercials over and over can be tedious, and it may take longer than anticipated to complete watching a show. As a result, watching a forty-five-minute show may take up to seventy minutes due to the application's hiccups.

That said, Pluto TV has so many channels to choose from, and the best part is that it's free. However, if you do not enjoy repetitive commercials and the stress of trying to resume watching an episode where it stopped, then this may not be the best platform for you.

Overall, Pluto TV has unique features like hundreds of channels, free-of-charge viewing, and a diverse range of shows. However, the drawbacks like commercials and limited functionality can test your patience. Ultimately the viewer has to decide if the offered services of Pluto TV is worth the trade-off with the other services.

Pluto TV Pluto TV: Disregard for American Values, Liberal Agenda, and Poor Customer Service

Pluto TV is a streaming service that unfortunately does not seem to prioritize American values or ideals. The content advertised on this platform tends to promote a liberal, socialist Democrat agenda narrative with a focus on sexual content views and beliefs. Viewers have shared their opinions on the matter, with many expressing their disappointment and frustration at the lack of consideration for their perceptions and opinions. It is clear that this company has no respect towards viewers, society, beliefs, or anything else, making it almost impossible for them to address any concerns. The company's list of options for addressing customer concerns appears to be aimed at avoiding answering viewers' questions and instead only serves to frustrate them. It is also concerning that this company does not seem to be interested in having any interaction with their customers, and instead cares only about making money. Moreover, many apps on Google, iPhone, Apple, Samsung, and other stores are from the CCP, and we should think twice before using anything connected to China. Lastly, it's worth noting that it's incredibly annoying when the app is turned off in the middle of a program, whether for answering the phone, warming a baby bottle or using the bathroom. Pluto TV should not be concerned with our viewing habits, as it is our resources we are spending, not theirs. Overall, it's disappointing to see this platform disregard values and the concerns of its viewers.

Pluto TV Reduce the percentage of ads shown in each program

Pluto TV has increased their ads frequency to the point of an almost 1:1 ratio of programming to ad content. 1 min of programming to 1 min of bad commercials. It wasn’t always this way. I’m to the point of enough is enough and want to tell Pluto TV I quit! But I can’t even reach their ”customer service” online or on the phone. I don’t pay $ to watch so I expect to see ads but my time isn’t free to abuse. Bub bye!

Pluto TV Commercial on Pluto TV

The disgusting Commercial during the GameShow network on Pluto TV advertising shavers . It's disgusting saying to say Pubic and shaving down there. I find it inappropriate for younger viewers. I wish they would take it off. I saw it on the GameShow network at 10:00 pm but it's on at all different times on this channel. I've seen many other complaints about this commercial. Please listen to your audience and remove it!

Desired outcome: Delete that Commercial

Pluto TV Terrible Experience with Pluto TV: Endless Commercials and Glitches

I had a really bad experience with Pluto TV. I was trying to watch a movie, but it kept skipping back to the same scene over and over again. It was really frustrating because I had to watch the same thing multiple times. When I tried to skip ahead to where I left off, I couldn't because there were so many commercials. And the worst part was that all the commercials were the same four ads. I felt like I was going crazy.

It took us over three hours to watch a two-hour movie because we couldn't watch more than three minutes at a time without a commercial. It was really annoying and I wish I could give this app zero stars. I would cancel my subscription, but it's already free. I don't think it's worth the time and effort to use this app.

I was so frustrated that I don't even have any more words to describe how bad my experience was. I wouldn't recommend using Pluto TV unless you want to raise your blood pressure. We never even got to finish the movie because we turned it off and deleted the app. I don't think I'll ever use it again.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: Glitches and Repetitive Episodes Ruin the Experience

This app, Pluto TV, has got some issues that need to be fixed. I've used a lot of apps before, but this one has more glitches than any other. And it's not just Apple TV users who are having this problem, Roku users are also experiencing the same issues. It's frustrating when Pluto tries to blame it on our devices, which are always up to date and don't have any problems running any other app.

I was trying to watch Price is Right, but I couldn't enjoy it because the screen kept going black or freezing every two minutes. It's annoying because it doesn't glitch during the fifty million commercials they run though! Also, they keep running the same episodes every other day on the Judge Judy network. I've seen Price is Right repeat frequently, and out of all the seasons it has been on, they keep replaying only [protected] then going back to 1983. It's the same with Judge Judy, they keep playing all the same episodes from the first few years she was on. It's ridiculous!

Pluto TV needs to get it together or shut it down! It's not fair to the users who are trying to enjoy their favorite shows without any interruptions. I hope they fix these issues soon because I really want to continue using this app.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: A Scamming and Untrustworthy Company - Stay Away!

So, I decided to give Pluto TV a try last month. They said I could have 7 free days and cancel anytime without being charged. But, to my surprise, they charged me $25. I was really upset about this and called their customer service. The lady on the phone told me that they don't give refunds once they charge you. I felt like I was scammed and lied to. This company is not trustworthy at all.

I would never recommend Pluto TV to anyone. I would rather pay more money to another company than to give this lying and thieving company a single penny. I am disabled and on a fixed income, so this was a huge problem for me. I had already ordered another streaming service that costs more, but I am very happy with it. I got DIRECTV stream and Hulu for one price and I love it.

Pluto TV will steal from you, so I suggest you run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. I know $25 may not seem like a lot of money to some people, but it is to me. I ordered it one day and canceled either the same day or the next. I didn't even try to watch it after I canceled, but they still stole from me. They don't care about people, they only care about stealing as much as they can.

In conclusion, I highly advise you to stay away from Pluto TV. They are not a reliable company and will only cause you problems. There are many other streaming services out there that are much better and worth your money. Don't waste your time or money on Pluto TV.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: A Frustrating On-Demand Experience with Endless Ads

Pluto TV is an online platform that offers a variety of TV channels to viewers. Its selection of channels is pretty good; however, the on-demand feature of the platform leaves a lot to be desired. One thing that stands out is the sheer number of advertisements that are repeated over and over again, making it a long and arduous task to get through even a 90-minute movie. And it's not just the sheer number of ads that's the issue; their placement is downright frustrating.

There was a time when I was watching a classic movie that had a truly moving two-minute montage. I was engrossed in the scene, and before I knew it, the program cut to a stupid ad! How could they do this, you might ask? Well, it was only thirty seconds into the montage - not even enough time to let me watch a two-minute sequence in peace!

I have never been so disappointed with a 'free' service before. Sometimes, it's better to pay for quality rather than to put up with all the ads and disruptions. In a nutshell, Pluto TV has a long way to go when it comes to making their on-demand feature user-friendly. So, I will say it right now - I'm never going to watch a movie on Pluto TV again!

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: Mind-Numbing Garbage Full of Repetitive Ads and Propaganda

After trying out Pluto TV (pluto.tv), I have to say that my experience has been less than satisfactory. While I have found a few shows that I enjoy, I often find myself skipping around or turning off the TV altogether due to the unbearable amount of commercials and repetitive content. I have noticed an excessive amount of Bloomberg and Prop 13 tax ads as well as commercials promoting texting and sharing - which can become quite grating after a while.

What's worse, is that these commercials seem to play on a loop, repeatedly showing the same content over and over again. It's as if there is never any variety and the same old messages are being force-fed to the viewer. Frankly, this feels like nothing more than propaganda from the Californian politicians, such as Nancy Pelosi, who seem to be constantly promoting their agenda.

It's clear that Pluto TV is free for a reason - it's designed to keep people complacent with its content rather than offer anything truly engaging. I, for one, would never pay for such a mind-numbing experience. In fact, I hope that this platform falls off the map altogether.

Overall, my impression of Pluto TV is that it's full of garbage BS that does little more than numb the mind. Although it may be tempting as a free option, I'd caution anyone against wasting their time with this platform.

When it comes to streaming platforms, Pluto TV is one that has been gaining popularity recently. With its free access to a variety of channels and its inclusion of live TV, it's no wonder that many people are turning to this platform to fulfill their entertainment needs.

However, there have been certain hiccups that some viewers have experienced while watching movies on Pluto TV. The most striking one is the issue of missing out on the end of a movie due to the film looping back to a previous point. This can be quite frustrating, especially if you've invested a significant amount of time in watching the movie.

Additionally, it appears that these issues might be stemming from technical problems within the platform itself. Some customers have speculated that Pluto TV might not have the necessary technical staff to handle the complex workings of the platform.

Of course, this is just speculation, but it is worth noting that Pluto TV has experienced these issues on more than one occasion. Whether it's a matter of technical difficulties or something else, it's apparent that there are certain areas in which Pluto TV can improve.

Despite these setbacks, many customers continue to use the platform successfully. With its impressive selection of channels and its user-friendly interface, Pluto TV still remains a good choice for those looking for a streaming service. If you're willing to overlook the occasional glitches and interruptions, you may find that Pluto TV is worth checking out.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: Frustrations with Load Times, Video Quality & Endless Ads

When it comes to Pluto TV, there are certainly some aspects that can be frustrating for users. For starters, it can take quite a while for the app to load and get you up and running. While you're waiting, you might even have time to head out and grab your favorite iced coffee before it's ready to go.

Once you're in the app, the experience can be a bit of a time warp. It seems like you're transported back to the 60s as you navigate through the different options. It can take several minutes just to land on the show or movie you want to watch. And if you're not careful, you may even be subjected to some less-than-desirable content that keeps popping up in the meantime.

If you do manage to find what you're looking for, don't expect it to be in HD quality. While some shows and movies may look decent enough, many are a bit fuzzy and lacking in detail. And you'll definitely want to be prepared for the constant barrage of commercials that Pluto TV seems determined to inflict upon its users.

What's more, there's no fast-forwarding through these ads. You're stuck watching them play out at their own snail's pace. It's almost like you're experiencing some kind of time loop where the ads just keep repeating themselves over and over again.

Oh, and just when you think you're getting into the groove and settling in for a good watch, the app might freeze up and kick you off altogether. This means you'll have to start the entire process over from the beginning. Talk about a frustrating experience!

Overall, while Pluto TV offers some decent programming options, the user experience can leave a lot to be desired. From long load times to fuzzy video quality to endless, repetitive ads, there are certainly some drawbacks to using this app.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: A Bumpy Ride through Commercials & Resume Issues

As an avid movie watcher, I decided to give Pluto TV a go after learning that it comes included with my Comcast subscription. The first time I watched a movie on the platform, I encountered some minor issues that detracted from the overall viewing experience. Firstly, when I needed to take a break, I couldn't find a way to resume the movie where I left off, which was frustrating. Secondly, when trying to fast forward through commercials, I discovered that it wasn't possible to do so. Finally, the same lengthy commercial would play over and over again every few minutes, which was very annoying. Despite these issues, I managed to finish watching the movie, but not without watching that same commercial countless times.

After the less-than-stellar experience, I'm hesitant to opt for Pluto TV when I'm looking for an interesting movie to watch. Tubi and Peacock, on the other hand, which I've had the pleasure of using before, offer a more seamless and enjoyable viewing experience. I highly recommend checking these platforms out if you're looking for a superior movie-watching experience.

Pluto TV Review: Pluto TV - Pros and Cons of the Free Streaming Service

As a fellow cable cutter who is an avid user of ROKU, I wanted to take a moment to write a detailed review on Pluto TV. While Pluto TV is free (or almost free), it certainly has its drawbacks and limitations.

Recently, one of the biggest annoyances for me has been their change to the Channel Guide. Previously, they provided users with valuable information about the programs being aired through a short synopsis. However, they have now suddenly removed this feature. It makes me wonder if this was a cost-cutting measure on their part.

Furthermore, I have experienced frequent freezing and lockups while scrolling through the guide, making it extremely frustrating to find the shows I want to watch. I hope their developers address this issue soon.

To make matters worse, Pluto TV seems to show the same commercials over and over again. I can't help but think that this is because they have too few paying sponsors, which ultimately hinders the viewing experience.

Additionally, the audio volume during commercial breaks becomes unbearable and requires me to either mute or miss out on the show. This certainly doesn't attract viewers and is a flaw that they need to fix.

Furthermore, Pluto TV lacks local sports programming, which has pushed me back to traditional radio for my sports fix.

Overall, while Pluto TV may be free, it comes with significant limitations that often impact the viewing experience. If they address these issues, it could potentially become a better service.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: Frustrating Video Player & Terrible UI Receive 0/10 Rating

Oh boy, where do I even start with this one? After hearing some buzz about Pluto TV, I was excited to give it a try and watch one of my favorite movies, The Matrix. What I didn't expect was the frustrating and downright atrocious video player that came with it.

I managed to get about an hour into the movie before the buffering became unbearable and the slow video player made me want to pull my hair out. But that's not the worst part - I couldn't even pause during the commercial breaks! What kind of madness is that?

And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I accidentally clicked "exit" on my remote. No big deal, I thought, I can just reopen the app and pick up where I left off. Except, to my dismay, the app didn't save my progress at all. What a letdown.

But the real kicker came when I tried to fast forward to where I was before. I figured it would be a simple task, right? Wrong. Pluto TV insisted that I watch every single ad, even the ones I had already seen before, just to get to the point I wanted to be at. Talk about a waste of time.

All in all, I have to give Pluto TV a 0/10 rating. The video player and UI were terrible, and the overall quality was subpar, to say the least. I would not recommend this app unless you're really desperate to watch something and have no other options.

Pluto TV Review: Pluto TV's Current State - Repetitive Content and Excessive Advertisements

Initially, Pluto TV was a promising streaming service offering a decent selection of free content for viewers to enjoy. However, the current state of the platform is rather absurd. It is evident that Pluto TV has limitations on the number of episodes they can provide for various shows, but it is puzzling why they repeatedly cycle through the same 40 episodes of shows like Steve Wilkos, Dr. Phil, and COPS, despite these series having hundreds of episodes available. This repetition can grow wearisome for viewers who are seeking variety and fresh content.

Moreover, Pluto TV's commercial interruptions have become increasingly excessive in the past month alone. Every commercial break seems to feature the same advertisement twice about Facebook regulations, regardless of what channel you are watching. The frequency of these advertisements is quite frustrating and disruptive to the viewing experience.

Lastly, it is worth noting that none of Pluto TV's channels align with their scheduled time slots accurately. Consequently, viewers may often find themselves staring at the "Pluto waiting screen" during the last five minutes of their favorite shows' episodes' conclusion. This issue could have easily been resolved by implementing a more efficient process of catalog broadcasting.

Overall, there seems to be a general dissatisfaction among users who feel they are not receiving the premium-level service they deserve. Pluto TV has much potential, and I hope that they can redefine their approach to content delivery and minimize their advertisements' repetitions in the future.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: Stream your favourites and forget the hassle with this user-friendly service

You may be someone who loves to indulge in binge-watching sessions, but hates to go through the hassle of changing channels and keeping a track of your favourite series. If that's the case, Pluto TV (pluto.tv) is the perfect streaming service for you. With an extensive collection of content available for free, Pluto TV does not disappoint when it comes to catering to the needs of its viewers. What sets it apart from its competitors, however, is the fact that it provides its viewers the convenience of enjoying their favourite shows without having to constantly switch between the same few episodes.

While it may be true that Pluto TV airs sponsored content and advertisements, the overall viewing experience is smooth and engaging. The interface is simple and user-friendly, which makes it easy to navigate through the various channels and categories available on the platform. With content ranging from news, sports, lifestyle and entertainment to movies and documentaries, Pluto TV keeps its viewers entertained with a variety of options to choose from.

Having said that, one possible downside of the service is its tendency to repeat the same handful of episodes of a series for an extended period of time. It can be quite frustrating for viewers who are looking for fresh content and variety. However, this can be seen as a minor issue when compared to the numerous positives that Pluto TV brings to the table.

In conclusion, Pluto TV is a fantastic streaming service that offers its viewers a range of content for free. For those who prefer to stick to a few favourite series, the repetition of episodes may not be of much concern. For others, it may lead to some dissatisfaction. Nonetheless, Pluto TV is worth giving a try, and it is certainly one of the best options when it comes to free streaming services.

Pluto TV Pluto TV Review: The Pros and Cons of Watching Live TV and Movies on the Free Streaming Service

When it comes to viewing live movies and TV shows on Pluto TV, it can be a bit of a mixed bag. There are certainly some frustrating aspects of the service that you should be aware of before committing to it. For one thing, it can be difficult to keep track of the storyline if you're watching something live. Sometimes commercials will interrupt the program but fail to return to the point where you left off, instead showing more ads before jumping back in at a completely different point in the story. Even worse, there are times when Pluto will return to the wrong point in the program altogether, causing you to miss out on an important plot point or even watch a scene twice! Unfortunately, this seems to be a recurring issue that happens more often than it should.

It's definitely important to note that this issue appears to be on Pluto's end rather than being something that viewers can do anything about. Other services like Prime, Tubi, and Roku don't seem to suffer from the same issue. As a result, it's hard not to feel disappointed that Pluto hasn't been able to address this issue with their programming. However, it's also worth keeping in mind that Pluto is a relatively new service, and they may be working on fixing the issue over time.

If you're someone who absolutely can't stand interruptions to your viewing experience, it might be best to avoid Pluto TV for now. However, if you're willing to deal with some occasional hiccups and don't mind missing out on some parts of the plot, there are still some appealing things about Pluto TV. For example, the service is completely free to use, which is a big draw for many people. Additionally, they have a pretty wide variety of shows and movies on offer, so you're likely to find something that you're interested in.

Ultimately, whether or not you decide to give Pluto TV a try is up to you. There are certainly some issues that need to be worked out, but there are also some potential benefits to the service that could make it worth your time. Hopefully, Pluto TV will continue to refine its programming and provide a more seamless viewing experience for its users in the future.

I realize you need ads. But seriously do you have to repeat the same ads every time ? Get some new ads please. At least mix it up.

You run the same 4 ads over and over and over ! If not for that I do enjoy Pluto tv. But this ruins it.
