Terrible They crush you with 8 or so…

Terrible They crush you with 8 or so commercials every 10 minutes or so…and they come quicker as the movie gets close to the end.
An hour and a half movie turns out to be close to two and a half hours with the commercials.
Not worth watching

Sync issues make this very difficult to enjoy

The selection of live channels and on-demand programming if quite remarkable for a free service. The ads are hit-and-miss. Oftentimes the same products are advertised over and over.
However, the one single issue that makes this service extraordinarily difficult to watch is the out of sync quality of the audio and video stream. At first everything is fine, and once the first commercial is over there is a significant lag, up to the point that the lips are moving and the audio follows about 30 seconds (or more) later. This is extremely distracting and makes it very unpleasant to watch, sadly.

False political ads

Pluto and all stations, TV, radio, and otherwise should be responsible for political ads that lie.
They should have the responsibility of fact checking.

They Wrecked the Menu !…

Today I opened Pluto Tv on Roku to find they'd wrecked the menu and copied one of the other free Tv providers with a crappy annoying laggy interface! I hate it! Will stop using it now since clicking on something to watch now makes me wait while a bar loads the channel. Once loaded I can't move around the channels like before using the up/down buttons. It wont let me move unless I press the back button and it's so laggy.. and rubbish!
Why break something that worked fine ? Oh wait I know why.. so you can push more ads when we choose another channel! You removed my favourites for the second time this month too! So C'ya Pluto! Plenty more decent platforms to watch Tv. 15 ads running atm ! Greed will be your downfall..

Pluto used to be good.

Pluto used to be good.
Favorites used to be opened when selecting pluto. Updates changed that. Had to go to channel guide, then go find favorites.
New update has you scroll though 5 lines of suggestions to get to the favorites line. Then all but one favorite has been deleted.

IS YOUR TIME IMPORTANT?!

AI, analytics, wrong headed marketing engineers= All of the above. Not just 1 ad or 2, but 3 or 4 in a row, and as the movie goes on the gap between ads decreases... Trying and succeeding if you're lame to get you subscribing.... MY FIRST and LAST time here

If you watch a series

If you watch a series, Pluto regularly pushes you back 10 to 15 episodes. Videos always have problems playing, but they have no problem cramming commercials down your throat.
Sometimes 7 commercials in a row.
So typical of an incompetent California company.

Continue's to drop video

Continue's to drop video. The commercials overstep their boundaries, not in content but repetitive unnecessary advertisement not for the consumers in the area which is ran. Also movie listed often come up in a foreign language not the English language in the United States they come up in French Japanese Taiwanese butt cracky, Pluto is cracked TV now.

Pete and Repete were sitting on a fence Pete fell off, who was left

I know pluto app is free, and thats great. Even when it fades and the app just circlesand circles . What i really find annoying is that I watch both pawn shows don't you think its rather grim. THAT YOU SHOW THE SAME EPISODES IN REPETITION!! THE EXACT SAME 2 DAYS STRAIGHT. Rather lazy considering how many season they were in . I'm sure you'll prioritize this error.
