App just stops at random… 3/5
By Twoblock37
I’m on an iPhone 13 with iOS 15.5
And the app works fine as long as the app is the only thing I’m doing on my phone. If I shrink the window down to do anything else then it’s just a matter of time before the app shuts off.
I thought it was maybe happening when it was switching to a commercial.. but I’ve decided that’s not accurate. It can go for seemingly an hour or more at times before happening or it can start up after only 10 minutes. Doesn’t matter if I’m using cellular data or on a Wi-Fi connection.
Aside from that issue, which is quite frustrating, I’m quite happy with everything else.
So many ads 2/5
By 2clip
Even though I paid for the premium plan, I see ads before every episode of every show. I am canceling this subscription immediately. Paramount+ calls them promotional breaks. The rest of the world calls them ads. This company blatantly lies to it’s customers. 9.99 ad free is a scam.
About to get rid of this subscription 1/5
By Edelin17
The app is very faulty needs an update ASAP, why should I pay for a subscription that is alaways announce fatal error when I been watching the same show, has me restarting app 20 times before I’m able to watch or if not it’s show a grey screen with the audio still playing through ! Variety of movies and shows is one thing but not being able to to watch what you do provide is a whole other issue!!
Paramount D+ 2/5
By Jedi_Knight_Josh
While I can’t complain about the ads because I’m paying for the cheapest version, there is a glitch that results in the ads slowly gaining a blue tint the further on we get into the ad break. The show returns to normal, but still a glitch that needs to be fixed.
Second, they do have glitches that causes the ads to stop. Resulting in me having to refresh the app and rewatch all the ads again. There are only so many times I can watch ads because of a glitch.
Third, the way they have it set up is a nightmare for binge streaming. When I open the app I have to search for the show I’m wanting to watch. A better set up would have the watched recently setup for an easy resume to watch.
Fourth, when asking for suggestions after creating an account. I find it odd that they don’t try and recommend the show for me to watch. If I say I want to watch Why Women Kill, I shouldn’t have to search it to find it. It should suggest it for me to watch.
All in all. Not the worst streaming app. Just needs some repairs
I love it! 5/5
By Theonewholikestacos
A lot of my fav shows and movies sometimes get deleted I come onto here all them are here! It’s a great app 10/10
Too many ads 3/5
By 🤷🏾♀️jayjay
There’s nothing wrong with the app but, there’s soooooooooo many ads especially in the beginning and the end of the show . When the end of the show arrives it shows ads and then when the beginning of the next episode shows there’s more ads
Ads are extremely loud 3/5
By MotherRose1985
I recently have just become a subscriber and I love everything but when the ads come on. For what ever reason they come through extremely loud, louder than the show. I don’t know why it dose this please but it’s extremely annoying!
Slow 2/5
By Shmcc
This app is very slow and unreliable
I want to give you 5 4/5
By KaydeSixx
Paramount is the ONLY place I can watch full seasons of my favorite show yay! The only downfall that’s slowly killing this for me and making me just want to say it’s not worth it, the fact I have to keep signing back into the application at least 4 times a day
Cool content bad app 2/5
By Bradtabs
Granted it’s new, but it pauses all of the time. It also has an ad at the end of an episode, which is annoying. My major complaint is the amount it pauses and freezes
Two stars 2/5
By nonconcedo
Ads make it impossible to rewind/fast forward a show to find where you were last watching. They also place an ad at the very end of the shows right before the credits.
AWESOME 5/5
By zen🍎🍉🍒🍓
Unlike Netflix how they take off awesome old shows I can watch them here
Crashing app and no support to be found 3/5
By tvoytko
Well, when it isn’t crashing, the app plays pretty good content. Since the last update, the app crashes as soon as I start a second episode. I followed the link to support and all it is consists of a FAQ page. Pathetic support system for a multi-million dollar company.
Pleasantly surprised..... 5/5
By bggrady
to discover "The Lost City" with Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and Brad Pitt is available to view.
Now, if only I could get my internet service to cooperate without continuously disconnecting!
Downloading is broken 1/5
By houston john
I signed up for the premium tier to get the ability to download, but when I try to download I get an error that I have exceeded my download limit on my device. But I have no downloads. The help section on their web site is useless. Just a piece of junk app.
Not loving it 1/5
By ocandy2
Every movie I try to watch keeps buffering…I don’t have any of these issues with any other apps
Review 5/5
By AudreyannaNH87693
It is amazing because there is a lot of TV shows like I just got done watching the quiet place 1 and the 2nd one
Seriously! 1/5
By Grandmah4
Just signed up will probably be canceling asap! Why am I getting my soaps a day behind, I want to watch today’s show today, not tomorrow!!!!
Great content, terrible interface 2/5
By Brikint
If you can use Paramount, use Roku for it. Downloading content is a challenge, half of the times there are errors. Crashes at least one out of three times. Better for streaming where it is more stable.
Can’t make it through a downloaded episode 2/5
By bodynet
Good content available, and not too bad to stream. But when I’ve tried, on two different devices, to download a show and watch it during a flight, it fails miserably. Oftentimes, the audio and video get out of sync and the only way to get them back together is to force reset. Sometimes this lasts 30 seconds, other times 10 minutes or so. I’m also getting a lot of “fatal errors” on episodes and it won’t let me finish them on the iPhone/iPad.
I’m hoping it gets better soon.
News Coverage 1/5
By GrannyDar
1-2 day old news is not news ... it's history. I get much quicker coverage from podcasts. With cable/satellite bleeding customers one would think your focus would switch. Once people adapt to finding something elsewhere they are not as likely to come back.
My life 5/5
By my wolves
I’m a three time cancer patient my only entertainment is your movies , some make me laugh and sometimes I cry but I thank you for keeping me laughing and not thinking about how sad I get without you
Ads 4/5
By 124dojdd
Amazing shows and choices but what ruins part of the experience for me is the amount of ads and the duration of them and that if there wasn’t that this app would deserve a 5 star no question
Terrible app 2/5
By Sassyfreckle
Glitchy, words and pics don’t align, downloads disappear but you can’t re-download bc “ you hit a limit”.
Super frustrating.
Perhaps hire coders from Hulu or Netflix?
little low 4/5
By ophieeloise
Movies and shows are great! App is a little slow at start up
Good; missing basic features 3/5
By poly_sci
I’ve updated this review. App has been pretty solid but it lacks ability to skip intro, so if binge watching a series, you have to figure out the correct timing to skip ahead yourself. Also, unlike the Roku app, the iOS app does not go to the next episode in a series until the credits are completely finished, even though I have the app’s Autoplay option enabled in its settings. Related to that, when you start the next episode, there is no option to skip the recap of the episode you just finished watching, so you have to manually fast forward, sometimes overshoot and miss the beginning of the episode, and once you have it, and start watching, there is still the issue of having to skip the intro and theme song when those arrive. Not binge-watch friendly at all. Also, app doesn’t show cast and crew so if you want to see who is in or who directed a movie or TV show that you are considering watching, you must leave the app and look somewhere else for that info. Hopefully updates add these features.
Fatal Error 3/5
By Nikia80
I downloaded this app because I travel often and don’t want to miss my shows. Now I can only watch 1/3 of an episode a day before the message “Fatal Error” pops up. I keep deleting the app and downloading it again to no avail.
It good 5/5
By Aiden en
I can watch Trevor Noah
ripoff alert 1/5
By 5L62iTBhl1
Paid 9.99 to watch some old beavis and butthead shows and this woke app blast you with 6 minutes of commercials every 3 minutes....thats crazy. Litterally 6 1 minute commercials in row every few minutes........
No support in app. Will file dispute with Apple. If your going to have premium plan make it premium and if by some bizaare notion you do have commercials at least say which commercials are on what shows before signing up so can avoid this app.
app is total garbage and for their premium plan to have hours of commercials for a few of a show like this. Give me a break......
Dont download spend your money on a better built app that doesnt waste effort on being woke over quality and user experience.
Hot garbage 1/5
By Jfkslxm
I’m so over this app. It barely works on my mobile devices and doesn’t work at all on my TV. I don’t have problems with any other streaming apps EXCEPT for this one and it’s been ongoing for months. I’ve reached out to Paramount multiple times trying to get help, and despite spending literally hours doing all of their suggestions, I’m still unable to stream certain things from this app.
Tonight, my kids wanted to watch stop Gun. After spending two hours trying to get this movie to play, going through all of their previous suggestions (resetting cache, logging out and back in, uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting my TV and modem, making sure everything is up to date), the app is STILL clunky and STILL will not play.
So, instead, we turned to Netflix and are watching a different movie because Paramount can’t get it together for whatever reason. I’m be seriously considering canceling my subscription because this app is completely worthless.
Always crashing 1/5
By 12345boston
This app is so awful, the lifetime Tv app is better then paramount. The user interface is far from intuitive and the app itself is always crashing. Not worth the monthly fee
Latest update…..not good 2/5
By Poohfreak2814
So, I’ve been a customer for over 2 years and the latest update to the App is making it more difficult to find my shows. The entire category for Daytime is gone. Also the latest episodes don’t even show up, I have to go into the series, then to episodes for it to even show. Fix this mess, please!!!
Older Versions 2/5
By ChristianFilip
I have subscribed to P+ for about a year now. I have an older IPad and now when I try to access the app it says I need the newest version. It will not download the latest version however but instructs to download the older version. Won’t do that either, just keeps going into a loop telling you to download the older version. So what gives?
Cannot Play Dowloaded Contenr 1/5
By JuanMarcos
I travel a lot for work and the Paramount+ app errors out 80% of the time when playing downloaded content when my iPad is in airplane mode.
Details:
iPad Mini (6th generation). *most recent model*
iPadOS: 15.5 *latest version*
Paramount+ app: 14.0.24 (7398) *latest version*
Player version: avia_14.1.0_aviaima_2.0.0
IOS version: 15.5
Device: iPad14,2
Paramount+ error when playing downloaded content,
“Fatal Error. We’re having some trouble playing this video. Please try again. If you continue to experience issues, check your internet connection or restart your router.”
*** I’m on an airplane in airplane mode with no wifi. That’s why I downloaded the shows.
Closing app and restarting the iPad does not fix the issue.
Deleting all the shows and then re-downloading doesn’t always fix the issue.
Uninstalling/re-installing the app and then downloading the content again is a shot-time fix.
Paramount+ Team - Please fix!
Finally 5/5
By St1nkyM0N
Thank you for finally adding Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), hopefully you’ll add more season, also, I still have that unacceptable pride icon, will you remove, but plz also add Back at the Barnyard, El Tigre: The Adventure of Manny Rivera, Catscratch and season two of The Casagrandes as well
It has all the old Nickelodeon tv shows I used to watch 5/5
By 402Tunder
I wrote the review in the wrong spot this was my first time
Premium has ads 1/5
By TerminalTwelve
Claim: “No ads except live TV & a few shows”
FAQ: “Premium subscribers enjoy on-demand content free from advertisements. However, on occasion, you may see brief promotional interruptions“ (commonly known as ads) Reality: ads appear before nearly every episode or movie, especially kids programs.
Terrible Execution 1/5
By malibusparkle
If you want an example of what not to do with an app this is it. Paramount adds cuts between episodes that are constantly crashing the app. I downloaded a season to watch on a plane ride and when it tried to go to the next episode the video crashed and deleted the episode. The downloaded episode files are corrupted and cause the sound and picture to be out of sync.
Overall this is a terrible
execution of a streaming app. They are desperate to take your money, but destroy the experience trying to sneak in a 7 second CBS cut. Just terrible decision making. I'll finish the season I'm watching and then cancel my subscription.
Remove/Clear Keep Watching List 1/5
By Retro-Classic-Rover
Is there a reason why consumers can’t remove/clear their “keep watching” list? Is it too difficult for developers to add this option? Are they just too dumb to do this? Or just plain lazy? Hey developers, want to innovate? Add this feature/option! 🙄
Luv this 5/5
By lenatrev
I luv this so much thats all I’m going to say
update made it worse 1/5
By abdiscgolfer
Did your update make it constantly give errors and not play on purpose? I thought updates were supposed to make it better, but since the most recent one, I can’t make it through one show AirPlay to the tv. It now only works on a phone/mobile device and will not stream to the tv. Cancelling and uninstalling as I’ve tried more times than I should’ve to watch one show.
Too many commercials 1/5
By Steveb4455
I pay for premium and it’s still not enough to exterminate the lizard selling me car insurance.
Don’t 1/5
By auntlea
Way to many ads. I understand i’m paying for “ some ads” but I might as well no be paying and you can’t go any higher to be without. I tried again two days ago to go no ads and it will no allow me. Just tried to cancel my account (3 times) and the wed site won’t let me!!!! 6/20/2022
So developer tells me I should only get a few ads on certain shows I have watched nothing on here without ads yet I was paying for limited ads I have stopped my account as of 6/20/22
Pretty flawless 5/5
By NM-fan-of-drudge
This app works well to watch my favorite Star Trek episodes and other content. Fairly easy to search and find the shows I want. The quality is usually better than what is over cable or satellite. There are occasional disconnects or stoppages, but on the whole, I am pleased. I now pay extra for no commercials which at first drove me crazy. Halo has been very good also.
Paramount 5/5
By jetmachinist
Great
Good, but one issue 3/5
By room gomora
I like the shows on this app and I like streaming on it, but there are way to many adds, yes I known there is premium, but still the amount of adds on here is ridiculous.
Freezing 1/5
By nnnnnnnnnnnnn9999999
SHOW KEEPS FREEZING!! So mad. I am canceling asap!!
WAY too many commercials 2/5
By EZE Ruthless
Worst I’ve ever seen, including other paid apps where commercials are built in. Some good content, but this is so egregious that I’m cancelling on principle.
You can put this many commercials on if you’re Tubi and offering free content, NOT if you’re already charging a monthly subscription fee. Not even the lowest paid tier deserves this.
Low rating for anti consumer practices 2/5
By Sohcahtoa19
I have the “limited plan” which is now unavailable to new subscribers. I still get 2 or 3 ads every few minutes when watching on demand shows. The content is great. Lots of really cool tittles to watch. However the ads are startlingly loud. Every single one of them is far louder than the titles themselves to the point of having to turn down the volume as to not disturb others in the house. It is frustrating having to constantly micromanage the volume. After reading others complaints online this has been going on for a long time with no change in sight. Paramount’s only suggestion is to pay for premium package which seems ridiculous considering even premium still has ads.
