stability on all platforms Dec 29, 2022

By parent of schoology

i love paramount+, i upgraded to no ads, canceled 2 other subscriptions i had with other streaming platforms because it’s on here and updated in seasons and i watch paramount on a lot of devices. but for the life of it, it does not work on playstation 4. i don’t know if this is where i write that review but it NEVER loads. it sits on the screen and glitches between pause and play. i even upgraded my network and got another one for 5G use because i learned that it’s very good for gaming as well and there was a visible notice on my applications and updates running really smooth using my new wifi, but still not on paramount+ so i recognized it probably wasn’t my playstation or wifi. i still give this 5 stars because this is technically an app for specifically apple, but this is for people that watch on more than one device. an account with ads is still okay, i used that time to use the bathroom, get food, etc, but i just like ad free shows and it’s good for the price. most of the ads promote more of their shows as well and i watched some through those ads so they’re not all boring. closed captions is sometimes wrong, sometimes doesn’t line up, but it’s not for all shows, for me, only criminal minds. more
Crashing App Oct 28, 2021

By FamilyTunes4400

I was really excited to have this app when I first got paramount plus several months ago on my phone as it would give me a chance to watch movies and shows when I’m doing work without have to turn on my laptop to watch or plug my laptop into my TV with an HDMI cable if I wasn’t using the main TV that was logged into paramount plus. However, in the last 3 to 4 months, this app has done nothing but crash. I have done everything I can think of from updating the app when it needs to be updated, uninstalling it and reinstalling it, and turning my phone on and off. I have tried looking up solutions on the Internet, but they either weren’t very helpful or I wasn’t able to perform the solutions that other people have said might work. With all of the fixes that have been going on in the updates provided, the one thing that has not been fixedIs the crashing of the app on an iPhone. I can’t watch anything without the app crashing two seconds into a TV show or a movie. I then have to constantly re-open the app and find out where I left off in a TV show or movie because it doesn’t restart where I left off. Oh no it starts me from the very beginning and I have to find out where I left off. With all of the updates that are being done I hope that you take a look at the app crashing because that is the biggest issue I have with this and itd be nice to be able to watch something on my phone without it crashing on me every two seconds. more
Crashes, loses spot, makes you watch unnecessary commercials Jul 7, 2018

By ridge.townsend

If I could give this app 0 stars, I would. When I use this app with Chromecast, it constantly crashes and not only does the app crash, it causes my Chromecast to crash as well. Then when everything comes back up, it doesn’t start your show at the same spot AND makes you watch commercials before it even starts at the wrong spot, then chances are you’re gonna have to fast forward thru a scheduled commercial break and then you’re gonna have to wait for those as well. It’s ridiculous. Such a horrible bug needs to be fixed and be fixed NOW. Then there’s the horrible lack of certain content. If people are paying for this service, ALL of the CBS library should be available. I imagine a lot of people want a CBS service so they can watch shows like The Big Bang Theory. Welp. Sorry. YOU ONLY GET 5 EPISODES. Are you kidding me? One of their most popular shows and you can only watch the last 5 episodes?? Do your fans a favor and give them the content they want instead of asking for more money on top of the money you already ask for the streaming service. Horrible. more
Pleasantly Surprised… Jan 13, 2022

By Goofygirl1972

So we downloaded the app probably about two months ago for Yellowstone and 1883. Caught up on some others and then kind of forgot about it for a couple of weeks. Went back to watch 1883 and nothing would play. Had an error message saying couldn’t stream to our region. Now I live in Hawaii but we are still part of the good old US of A so I didn’t understand the issue. Thought maybe it was just a hiccup, but, nay, it continued. I looked up how to possibly reset and fix it but nothing worked from the FAQ page. I will admit we were a bit frustrated and after reading the reviews I thought we were done with the app. Now at this point you all are wondering why I gave 4 stars and how I was “pleasantly surprised“. I called their customer service and my rep went into the account and reset our account. She told me to wait a couple of hours before I try again and she would also submit a query to the tech department. She had me give her all the info that came up in my account settings page and even the model of my Apple TV. Now it didn’t come up after the two hours or even later that night, but next day, today, it is working beautifully. Mahalo (a proper Hawaiian thank you) Paramount+ for the great shows and the excellent customer service! more
Coding is good….but… Feb 19, 2022

By lipseyt

The coding for the app is good on all of the platforms (iOS, ipad os and tvOS). The app is stable, video streams are stable, no buffering, and audio and video are always in sync. But when you pay for a service, I think it’s also important to comment on the purchased content. What frustrates me about Paramount (Viacom, CBS, or whatever it’s called these days) os that the company has a very fractured licensing, and distribution model across all of its brands. As an example, when CBS All Access merged into Paramount+ the news releases said the parent company (again, whatever name it goes by these days) was bringing all of the brands under one hood (i.e. Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, etc…) Then there is the Viacom brand VH1. Viacom puts some VH1 content only in the VH1 app and some content in the Paramount+ app. For example, Drag Race All Stars 6 was distributed only on the Paramount+ app but the regular Season 14 is only in the VH1 app. And just this week, Drag Race All Stars 7 was announced and with that announcement the press release said All Stars 7 would only be on Paramount+. This is frustrating for a consumer who is paying for the Paramount+ subscription to figure out between all of the Viacom companies which app has which content. Why does Viacom flip and flop on which app they will release content on? more

My only issue is the stopping. I had to get a paid subscription because the ads were causing the app to force quit. On mobile, the ads barely load. It's like they're processing too much information. On the playstation app, the show barely loads. It's kinda ridiculous. Aside from that, it's a good place for shows to watch and the occasional good movie. Update: I'm going to have to. Now the movies don't play at all visually. Just the audio. more

Frustrating!!! Coming out of commercials, shows resume a minute or so "late" and you miss key details of the show. When you try to rewind it, to see what you missed, it goes back to the commercials BEFORE the previous segment and then gets stuck in a loop. You can't FF or rewind anything without coming right back to that previous segment. The only way out of this loop is to restart the whole system. Just getting out of the show, doesn't work. FIX THIS BUG!!! more
It’s good, but improvements can be made. Nov 18, 2022

By Kylie1799

Ok so, I really hate how when my phone can’t connect to the internet “fatal error” pops up. It makes me think that there’s something wrong with my phone. Then it’s annoying when I realize it just cant connect to the internet. It’d be much better for me if it just said “error”. I also don’t enjoy the adds. If there is something on this that I want to watch, I want to watch that. Not the adds. Also, if the thing the adds are showing was something I’d want to watch, I’ll find it. I don’t need and add taking up my time, because I only have so much untill I need to go to sleep. Also, my parents do this thing were they limit screen time. It puts a block on every app. There’s a password that they can put in it so I can do whatever on that app. Whenever my parents do that to this, it freezes on the blue screen. Then I have to exit, and go back in to the app. And finally, I really hate how there isn’t a search bar. It’s annoying to me, because then I have to scroll though A, then B, then C, when I want to find something new. I just think that if there was a search bar, things might be easier. This app isn’t great right now, but if you fix some of these things, I think it would be easier for everyone. Thank you for listening. more

I'm fine with the ads, my sub is free through Walmart. The aspect ratio is always off, though, which is really annoying. Everything I try to watch is cut off and I can't change it. It fixes itself right before a commercial, so I know it can be right...then the commercial stretches to try to fit in the wrong ratio. I just expected better I guess lol more
Great options, poor quality Jul 1, 2021

By Devin Eatman

I have paramount for my PS4. I’ve had it for a few months now, and it’s just ok. The selection of shows is wonderful, however I have an issue with a very specific glitch. Throughout certain shows, the dialogue will go back 5 seconds and repeat itself. The show keeps rolling with the now delayed dialogue. It eventually skips over the forward dialogue causing you to miss some of what was being said in your show. It’s a constant throughout the show and it does get very annoying. Also, it’s plagued with commercials which also are delayed. The advertisement countdown comes on at the top left of the screen randomly, but it doesn’t go to commercial break. It just has an advertisement countdown while your watching your show. At the end of that countdown, then it goes to commercial. Something else that’s strange, is that for the first two or three months of having this app, I only had a commercial at the beginning of the show, and then no more. Now, it’s full of ads. I understand some ads and I’m fine with that, but Jesus Christ. They are long commercial breaks and there are multiple throughout the show. Like I said, it’s not horrible. It just has some glitches. I’m sure they will be worked out in the future. more

By Loryn Lefever

The shows on the app are great. Overall though, this is the worst streaming app. It doesn't auto play the next episode, the ads are unbearable, and you can't fast forward or rewind the show without it glitching out and needing to watch the show over again before you get back to the spot you were at. Of all the streaming devices there are, you'd expect this to be a little more friendly and actually work like the others. more
Jan 23, 2023

By Javi

Worst streaming application out there. It's buggy and crashes. It has no problem playing all the ads, but freezes or crashes when the movie or show is supposed to play. I have tried it on multiple devices, and I get the same result. I find it suspicious that if you keep letting the ads run for a couple of minutes after the app freezes, then it might let you watch your show. (This is after letting the app play the 5 to 6 standard ads if you have the basic plan with ads.) more
Jan 15, 2023

By Dave Ruedger

You cannot maximize the app on the latest android. It took me forever to expand the frame of the window so it was almost as large as the screen just to make anything watchable. Clicking the icon to maximize does nothing. I think it's disabled. What is worse, though, is that the video loses sync with the audio after playing only a few minutes. It forces me to rewind and then replay to resync. This never happens on my Fire HD with the same internet connection. Worst app ever. more
Live TV segments issues, can’t save shows, doesn’t remember where left off Apr 18, 2021

By thijsdecker

I’m currently doing the commercial plan free preview. I will cancel very soon for three specific reasons. 1.) Going to live TV and selecting one of the segments glitch — Every single time a black screen flashes and it repeats the last 10 seconds before continuing to the next segment. This makes watching previous live TV segments unwatchable. 2.) The app does not remember where I left off, which means I have to start from the beginning of an episode upon coming back to the app. I’m lucky if I remember where I was, so this is another frustrating dealbreaker. 3.) There are a ton of shows, and some of them you can download, which are the only reasons I’ve ranked this two stars. Problem is, I have to scroll through hundreds of shows every time I want to see what I want to watch, because there is no way to “pin”, or otherwise mark a show as something I want to watch later. It is perplexing that there is no “list” or way to save a show to watch later. You really expect me to scroll for five whole minutes to try to find/remember the show that I wanted to watch last week? Biggest dealbreaker - I almost don’t even want to use for free without this feature. Lastly, there is a section called “Keep Watching”, but the shows don’t end up there if you don’t watch enough of them, so quickly opening a show to get it to save there as a hack doesn’t work. more
Jan 9, 2023

By John Russo

Unfortunately the app just does not work well. I constantly get Error 6040 when trying to load an episode. Additionally, the "Keep Watching" and "My List" tabs do a very poor job at tracking what you have watched and letting you pick up where you left off. Also suffers from a strange UI choice of no button to skip to the next episode, and no option to select video quality. more
Worst app Dec 15, 2022

By 989MS

I’ve had this app/service over a year and I feel like it has not improved one bit. I don’t know how anyone can rate this app above 3 stars with all of its limitations and lack of offerings compared to its competitors. Casting is not good at all, it stops castings and makes you start over from the beginning of what your watching instead of picking up where it stopped. My other complaint is closed captions, I like to use that when watching tv and I have to turn it back on for every episodes, why can’t you remember my preferences. My biggest complaint is downloading, besides the fact that certain shows/movies are available for download and you aren’t allowed to leave the app while downloading and the fact that it takes almost 10 mins to download a episode 😒and the app can’t download more than one episode/movie at a time. It crashes/stops when you try to download more than one thing. SMH. Now to the reason I am writing the app, it took almost one pain staking hour to download shows/movies they were not there the next day when I went to watch them. Why I can’t see the movies I downloaded for offline viewing when I am offline. When I regained access to Wi-Fi I could see my offline shows. I would also like to point out the shows will leave if you don’t watch them, there is no renewing them, you have to complete the pain staking process of trying to download everything all over again. more

By duknw whoiam

App isn't great, but not the worst. You can't remove things from recently watched even when completed watching. Doesn't pick up where you left off, and the constant ads, more so than other streaming apps. Thankfully there is an ad count so you can go do something while they play, but there are more ads then content sometimes. Kids selection could use some improvement. more
Jan 30, 2023

By Pat & Barbara Gorman

Absolute garbage app on Kindle Fire! Can't fast forward or rewind. You push either and it jumps back several minutes and then you get to rewatch the same commercials, and can not get back to where you want. Automatically starts episodes that you haven't watched in the middle just from starting up the app, and is difficult to navigate back to the main or show menu. Makes me want to give up and just cancel my subscription. more
Keeps Glitching on my TV possible Divorce Aug 29, 2022

By PS5 Girl

I only have 3 shows I watch on Paramount plus. When the commercials come on it freezes and eventually it will tell me “Something went wrong. Please try again later”. When I do try again later and maybe a couple weeks or months later it does the same thing. I haven’t been able to finish Season 4 of FBI and now Season 5 is coming out soon as well as a new season of Seal Team. However, I have found a way to override the glitch by accessing the Paramount + app through my husbands Play Station 5 . There has been a lot of compromise/arguments between who gets the PS5 this past year. I do not want to entertain that any longer especially when Paramount + is supposed to be entertaining me. We only have ONE PS5. Please fix this issue before this ends in a divorce… and I’m not talking about me and my husband.. I’ve tried and tried again so many times and I have exhausted all my trying with you. I hate to have to bring up the D word but I need the same amount of effort I have been putting into Paramount+ reciprocated. Not only have you exhausted my time and effort but also most importantly my money. Please reach out to your local geek squad to get this situation under control before the new seasons come out. 2 stars for good tv shows Minus 3 stars for for not being able to watch them in the family room, compromise/arguments for the PS5, all the trying and money. more

By James Thomas

Worst app ever. I watch more of the little blue circle spinning then any show. And forget live sports, it's almost unwatchable. Been through their trouble shooting solutions but nothing changes. Will be deleting immediately after football season, if I can deal with it til the end. Extremely disappointed, it's not like it's a free app, I might be more understanding if it was. Don't waste your time. more

i love paramount+, i upgraded to no ads, canceled 2 other subscriptions i had with other streaming platforms because it’s on here and updated in seasons and i watch paramount on a lot of devices. but for the life of it, it does not work on playstation 4. i don’t know if this is where i write that review but it NEVER loads. it sits on the screen and glitches between pause and play. i even upgraded my network and got another one for 5G use because i learned that it’s very good for gaming as well and there was a visible notice on my applications and updates running really smooth using my new wifi, but still not on paramount+ so i recognized it probably wasn’t my playstation or wifi. i still give this 5 stars because this is technically an app for specifically apple, but this is for people that watch on more than one device. an account with ads is still okay, i used that time to use the bathroom, get food, etc, but i just like ad free shows and it’s good for the price. most of the ads promote more of their shows as well and i watched some through those ads so they’re not all boring. closed captions is sometimes wrong, sometimes doesn’t line up, but it’s not for all shows, for me, only criminal minds. more

I AM IN MY GLORY.....! Apr 19, 2020

By 1stCeye

Since yesterday, when I discovered this app...I have watched, back to back a TV SERIES that I had resigned myself to miss. It’s happened before; if I cannot afford it...it’s not for me. Dispute intense regret, I waved good bye to the ad on my ipad. When I saw the ad and went further into it, I was amazed. No kidding....at 67, I’m still a child of the universe and STAR TREK arriving in my life in 1966, was a “me’ changer. I literally covered the back of my bedroom door with photos from the TV GUIDE AND ANY I could con from Desilu..I attended the New York CONS! There is way more to this story, but that’s not for here. HERE, I will sing the praises of finding EVERY STAR TREK MOVIE, SHOW, TRAILERS and something called STAR TREK SHORTS. Short, wonderful pieces that bring you back to your (mine,too) first stunned, breathless moments when your realization that there COULD be something better for the Human race. If you are a TREKKIE, TREKKER, OR just watch for fun...you understand. The 100,000 of fans are not just good luck....we understand. If YOU DON’T understand; here is where you will! Oh, there are a ton of other shows I intend to ‘exploit’ when I need a break from the Federation....come and see! more
Love it but can you change one thing Jun 24, 2021

By Gabby Lucky happy Gebbeb

I really love paramount + because it has all kinds of shows and movies I can’t watch anywhere else but the only thing I would change is how it is when you just press the home button. You know how apps like Netflix or Disney + have it where when you go to the Home Screen and other apps it will have the little screen in a corner that is still playing the show/movie even if your not in the app that provides the show or movie? That’s what I want for paramount +. It would make things a lot easier for when say I have to look something up or something like that. I don’t want to have to get off of the show to do something small while I’m super invested in what’s happening. I really hope you take this suggestion and put it in your next update. ❤️❤️❤️ Also I have never had any of the problems so many people are complaining like idiots about. Whenever I watch paramount + on tv or on my phone, I have no problems at all. The most problems I had with it was that it skips a couple of seconds into a new episode. more
This is a awesome streaming service Apr 17, 2022

By Milo Schmiedel

I love this, streaming service it, has some very amazing shows that, I like and, movies like Star Trek and, more and this, show has some of, my shows that, I watched when I was little which is, amazing and, I think this, streaming service is, so sweet because I get to, watch some of the, shows and, movies that, I really wanna watch on here like Star Trek and, even ICarly too, which is, also another thing that, I always have energy to, watch with its, reboot and, original series because that, show is, so awesome so I love this, streaming service! and, also I also wanted this app because I wanted to, watch the, new ICarly revival so I don’t miss it, because I love ICarly and this, app made me watch all the, other awesome movies and, shows on here because some of them, were from when I was little and there, were some that, I was very interested in, watching that I have not seen too that, I get to, love too, like Star Trek ICarly and it’s, seasons and, revival Paw Patrol and, more which is, amazing too, So I think this is a, nice streaming service. more
Great but can improve May 26, 2021

By incapatible

I’m giving it a 5 stars because for the majority I am loving the experience, I have all the other popular streaming services but none of them offer all the great reality tv shows that I enjoy as well as full seasons from shows like iCarly and drake and josh, etc. The only thing I’ve noticed is the app has no watch list tab where I can add a bunch of shows/movies and watch them later, this comes in handy for days I cross a movie(s) that I’d want to watch later and make sure I don’t forget about them. Another thing I’ve noticed was when I try and watch something from my device and cast the audio to my HomePod so it can sound louder and have higher quality audio, it thinks I’m AirPlaying it to a tv or something because the “AirPlay now casting” stays in the middle of the screen with bold writing and doesn’t seem to disappear at anytime. Hopefully these issues can be fixed in future updates, but as of now I’m loving the large library of entertainment that I can’t find anywhere else. more
Champions League and Europa League Nov 1, 2020

By kumoHM

Just wanted to provide some details about the terrific CBS All Access coverage of both Champions League and Europa League football. In particular, I greatly value 1) access to all matches on replay, 2) landing pages that do NOT provide match scores (no spoilers), 3) no score updates displayed from other matches while watching replays, 4) ability to advance or go back in time to manage my viewing as I see fit, and 5) match feeds with British announcers that longtime fans have come to know and like best; there is no need to replace the British feeds with "Americanized" broadcasts that include overly talkative play by play announcers and/or poor commentary, or analysts that are compelled to develop story lines for the sake of creating drama; we've seen this done from other networks [ever watch an MLS match?]. And so in summary, I am most appreciative that the critical aspects of football broadcasts listed above are part of the CBS All Access coverage. You should be very proud of the offered service, and I for one am a very satisfied subscriber. Keep up the great work! more
Great App Nov 26, 2017

By TV and Movie Enthusiast

I am enjoying this app immensely. My one-week trial is now over and subscribing to CBS All Access has been a great investment for enjoying the content offered. I am internet-only through my cable company—no TV (and loving it). You get many TV shows with this app—current, new, and old—special presentations, news, and the livestream of CBS broadcasts; including affiliate news casts for your local area. If you cannot catch regularly scheduled CBS shows on the livestream, you can alway watch CBS shows on YOUR time. Very convenient. Picture quality is good to excellent on the TV shows I’ve seen. Audio quality is also good to excellent. I have no buffering issues on my end or their end—I have 100 Mbps internet. The variety of content is excellent. Only a few movies are available for streaming; this is mainly an app for TV shows, news, and CBS special presentations more so than for movies. Anyway, I am very satisfied. The subscription price is reasonable and the content is highly enjoyable! I use this app on my 12.9” iPad Pro, iPhone, and AppleTV-4! more

By loof and pot puff

So I really enjoy paramount because it has all the old Nickelodeon shows but it’s not just that I love it because I use to watch old Nickelodeon shows on Netflix like icarly or Sam and cat but the problem was Netflix didn’t have all the seasons and zoey 101 recently came on Netflix and I really enjoy that show so I was like yay it’s on Netflix now but I realized that again Netflix don’t have all the seasons so i search up where can I watch all the seasons of zoey 101 they said paramount+ and I downloaded it not only did they had all the seasons but they had all the other old Nickelodeon shows too so I was really excited about that too like they had some of the shows that Netflix didn’t have too like drake and josh and the had all the seasons of the other Nickelodeon shows too so if u want too watch an old Nickelodeon show and Netflix don’t got all the seasons try paramount+ but if u guys are reading this try it but don’t put Netflix outta business because my favorite show on there stranger things more
Finally CBS has fixed the crashing problem! Oct 5, 2019

By Scooter Bliege

I feel that I owe it to CBS and their app design team to say thank you for fixing the issue of the app freezing and crashing every 3 to 5 minutes after watching a program. This started after the last format change and was extremely frustrating. I ended up canceling, then deleting the app, then redownloaded it and paid for the limited commercial fee to make sure that the problem was fixed. Much to my surprise it is working better than ever!! I then upgraded to commercial free, and now can enjoy my favorite programs again!!! Thanks CBS for fixing the problems! My faith has been restored in your network. The following is my written review from when I was extremely disappointed about the app. Just within the past month the app just crashes every 5 to 7 minutes. It happens while watching live TV, or pre-recorded shows. What is causing this? It started right after the last update/format change. Is anybody else having this issue? more

Pleasantly Surprised… Jan 13, 2022

By Goofygirl1972

So we downloaded the app probably about two months ago for Yellowstone and 1883. Caught up on some others and then kind of forgot about it for a couple of weeks. Went back to watch 1883 and nothing would play. Had an error message saying couldn’t stream to our region. Now I live in Hawaii but we are still part of the good old US of A so I didn’t understand the issue. Thought maybe it was just a hiccup, but, nay, it continued. I looked up how to possibly reset and fix it but nothing worked from the FAQ page. I will admit we were a bit frustrated and after reading the reviews I thought we were done with the app. Now at this point you all are wondering why I gave 4 stars and how I was “pleasantly surprised“. I called their customer service and my rep went into the account and reset our account. She told me to wait a couple of hours before I try again and she would also submit a query to the tech department. She had me give her all the info that came up in my account settings page and even the model of my Apple TV. Now it didn’t come up after the two hours or even later that night, but next day, today, it is working beautifully. Mahalo (a proper Hawaiian thank you) Paramount+ for the great shows and the excellent customer service! more
Coding is good….but… Feb 19, 2022

By lipseyt

The coding for the app is good on all of the platforms (iOS, ipad os and tvOS). The app is stable, video streams are stable, no buffering, and audio and video are always in sync. But when you pay for a service, I think it’s also important to comment on the purchased content. What frustrates me about Paramount (Viacom, CBS, or whatever it’s called these days) os that the company has a very fractured licensing, and distribution model across all of its brands. As an example, when CBS All Access merged into Paramount+ the news releases said the parent company (again, whatever name it goes by these days) was bringing all of the brands under one hood (i.e. Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, etc…) Then there is the Viacom brand VH1. Viacom puts some VH1 content only in the VH1 app and some content in the Paramount+ app. For example, Drag Race All Stars 6 was distributed only on the Paramount+ app but the regular Season 14 is only in the VH1 app. And just this week, Drag Race All Stars 7 was announced and with that announcement the press release said All Stars 7 would only be on Paramount+. This is frustrating for a consumer who is paying for the Paramount+ subscription to figure out between all of the Viacom companies which app has which content. Why does Viacom flip and flop on which app they will release content on? more
Good, but with a few problems... Mar 13, 2021

By whydoesitmatter.soso

So, Paramount+ is amazing and has a lot of good content. Probably my second favorite streaming service other then Peacock because well... Battlestar Galactica. But that doesn’t mean Paramount+ has problems, of course, and I believe I’d like to point out two (this may be outdated soon since they’re updating the app a lot) in which my first problem is probably the fact that their is no Squidward or basically more Spongebob characters that could be profile pictures. Squidward is my favorite character and I wish he was an available profile picture. If you also added more Spongebob profile pictures in general then it would probably be more enjoyable for Spongebob fans that don’t just want Spongebob and Patrick. My second reason is that they actually removed a Spongebob episode (we’re still on the topic of Spongebob xp) called Mid Life Crustacean. Of course, this isn’t a real problem since Prime still has the episode but I still find it a bit weird that you removed it. Honestly, this app is amazing and I give it a solid four until my second review comes in. Thank you for noticing! more
Great App but Slight Accessibility Bug Sep 23, 2022

By Dryatofa

I really enjoy using this app. However, in the previous few versions, I have encountered a bit of an accessibility bug. When a video is playing, I have noticed that I can't find the audio and subtitles button with VoiceOver. The only buttons that appear are the toggle for the player controls and the rewind button. This means that VoiceOver users cannot turn on audio description from their phone. I can turn it on when watching on a web browser but because your audio settings do not sync across devices on the same profile, the description track will not stay on if I switch from the computer to the phone. Paramount+ works well on the computer but because the audio selection button will not appear in the app, blind users do not have access to the audio description tracks on their phones. I would very much appreciate it if this bug could be investigated and fixed so that blind users can have full access to this app. Thank you for considering this feedback. more
Paramount plus Oct 20, 2021

By Jaimedoe

I will start by saying “ good job” . Then I would like to know why the shows are missing episodes, many of them, so that you really can’t say you watched it all because so much has been omitted. Jag for instance has 10 seasons but you only provide 4 episodes per season and that’s just very annoying to some. Also why can’t you start with season 1 when offering a show. FBI for one and the other FBI show both with no season 1. If they are lost or something oh well but I can’t imagine that’s the case so a reason would be appreciated, or better yet just show them. Il appreciate the programming without commercials and overall your doing great. I also had a problem with another business and had to cancel my debit card. According to my bank statement I was billed for a month of service on the 24 of September but paramount stopped service to me a week ago when I cancelled the card. Why was I not allowed my month of already paid for service? Not a good way to keep customers. stopped service to me more
6 bucks is a cup of coffee a month... Dec 12, 2017

By timbukstu

As a cord cutter this year, I actually prefer the cbs app to the nbc/abc apps. Most of the shows I watch are cbs, so I did the trial for a month. I watch maybe 3-4 stations on cable and my wife and additional four. I don’t mind paying 10 bucks for directvnow, 11 for Netflix, and 6 for CBS, instead of 89 dollars for cable for 125 channels of junk. For now this is as close as ala cart we can get. What I have learned as a cord cutter is that I watch less tv, so that’s a good thing. Binge when I can and spend more time with family, volunteering, and professional development. Watch less, live more, and make beautiful memories. Cut the cord today! App had some connection issues last night other than that no issues when I am binging at odd times. I wouldn’t mind paying 8 dollars for no commercials but I guess that means I value the 10 mins of commercials per hour at 2-4 bucks. I really should upgrade to no commercials now that I think about it, my time is worth more than 2-4 bucks for 10 minutes. more
Voiceover user on iPhone. Jun 2, 2022

By mr. Analyzer

Would be very useful if you were able to swipe up or down on the current position when you’re watching something and that would go forward or back a certain percentage instead of having to fast forward or rewind only 10 seconds at a time if you wanted to move forward or back several minutes. Especially when the end credits of some TV shows take a minute and a half to two minutes every episode and there’s no button to skip to the next episode that appears when the end credits show up. Maybe have someone thoroughly check out the app on an iPhone with voiceover on from start to finish with what it takes to download the app subscribe and set up a profile and go through the Home Screen and anything else a user would do in the app… to find things you could make more user friendly. Your consideration would be much appreciated, not only by me, but I’m sure other Voiceover users as well. s. more

Crashing App Oct 28, 2021

By FamilyTunes4400

I was really excited to have this app when I first got paramount plus several months ago on my phone as it would give me a chance to watch movies and shows when I’m doing work without have to turn on my laptop to watch or plug my laptop into my TV with an HDMI cable if I wasn’t using the main TV that was logged into paramount plus. However, in the last 3 to 4 months, this app has done nothing but crash. I have done everything I can think of from updating the app when it needs to be updated, uninstalling it and reinstalling it, and turning my phone on and off. I have tried looking up solutions on the Internet, but they either weren’t very helpful or I wasn’t able to perform the solutions that other people have said might work. With all of the fixes that have been going on in the updates provided, the one thing that has not been fixedIs the crashing of the app on an iPhone. I can’t watch anything without the app crashing two seconds into a TV show or a movie. I then have to constantly re-open the app and find out where I left off in a TV show or movie because it doesn’t restart where I left off. Oh no it starts me from the very beginning and I have to find out where I left off. With all of the updates that are being done I hope that you take a look at the app crashing because that is the biggest issue I have with this and itd be nice to be able to watch something on my phone without it crashing on me every two seconds. more
Jan 23, 2023

By Morgan LeFae

My only issue is the stopping. I had to get a paid subscription because the ads were causing the app to force quit. On mobile, the ads barely load. It's like they're processing too much information. On the playstation app, the show barely loads. It's kinda ridiculous. Aside from that, it's a good place for shows to watch and the occasional good movie. Update: I'm going to have to. Now the movies don't play at all visually. Just the audio. more
Jan 11, 2023

By Susan Sinko

Frustrating!!! Coming out of commercials, shows resume a minute or so "late" and you miss key details of the show. When you try to rewind it, to see what you missed, it goes back to the commercials BEFORE the previous segment and then gets stuck in a loop. You can't FF or rewind anything without coming right back to that previous segment. The only way out of this loop is to restart the whole system. Just getting out of the show, doesn't work. FIX THIS BUG!!! more
It’s good, but improvements can be made. Nov 18, 2022

By Kylie1799

Ok so, I really hate how when my phone can’t connect to the internet “fatal error” pops up. It makes me think that there’s something wrong with my phone. Then it’s annoying when I realize it just cant connect to the internet. It’d be much better for me if it just said “error”. I also don’t enjoy the adds. If there is something on this that I want to watch, I want to watch that. Not the adds. Also, if the thing the adds are showing was something I’d want to watch, I’ll find it. I don’t need and add taking up my time, because I only have so much untill I need to go to sleep. Also, my parents do this thing were they limit screen time. It puts a block on every app. There’s a password that they can put in it so I can do whatever on that app. Whenever my parents do that to this, it freezes on the blue screen. Then I have to exit, and go back in to the app. And finally, I really hate how there isn’t a search bar. It’s annoying to me, because then I have to scroll though A, then B, then C, when I want to find something new. I just think that if there was a search bar, things might be easier. This app isn’t great right now, but if you fix some of these things, I think it would be easier for everyone. Thank you for listening. more

I'm fine with the ads, my sub is free through Walmart. The aspect ratio is always off, though, which is really annoying. Everything I try to watch is cut off and I can't change it. It fixes itself right before a commercial, so I know it can be right...then the commercial stretches to try to fit in the wrong ratio. I just expected better I guess lol more
Great options, poor quality Jul 1, 2021

By Devin Eatman

I have paramount for my PS4. I’ve had it for a few months now, and it’s just ok. The selection of shows is wonderful, however I have an issue with a very specific glitch. Throughout certain shows, the dialogue will go back 5 seconds and repeat itself. The show keeps rolling with the now delayed dialogue. It eventually skips over the forward dialogue causing you to miss some of what was being said in your show. It’s a constant throughout the show and it does get very annoying. Also, it’s plagued with commercials which also are delayed. The advertisement countdown comes on at the top left of the screen randomly, but it doesn’t go to commercial break. It just has an advertisement countdown while your watching your show. At the end of that countdown, then it goes to commercial. Something else that’s strange, is that for the first two or three months of having this app, I only had a commercial at the beginning of the show, and then no more. Now, it’s full of ads. I understand some ads and I’m fine with that, but Jesus Christ. They are long commercial breaks and there are multiple throughout the show. Like I said, it’s not horrible. It just has some glitches. I’m sure they will be worked out in the future. more

Has some good shows and movies. But not alot. I decided to get the subscription that Tmoble offers for 12 month free. To just try it out. To see if it's any good before I paid for $10 for no adds. It has way to many Commercials. Not enough good shows and movie to justify spending $10 a month. I'd rather pay for a hulu subscription. The service is not bad. But not good either. If they added better shows and movies. It would be a great streaming service and worth $9.99. more
Not up to standards Jul 2, 2022

By TNGMac

What goes through my mind every time I open this app for ios, or the TV version (LG) is that the folks who designed this app tech never watched Netflix. After many years, Netflix got it right and these guys (Paramount) somehow thought it was a good idea to start from scratch. It’s a very heavy app, so your network speed needs to be stellar at all times or it will buffer every few seconds (Netflix circa 2017). It doesn’t remember shows in a series that you’ve already watched, so if you forget which one you are on, you have to scroll through all of them and guess. It does sort of remember the one you were watching last only on the main screen of the show, but when you click Episodes, you always start at season 1, episode 1 even if the last episode you watched was season 6, episode 24 (again, the developers never watched netflix apparently). However, since they removed all of their shows from other streaming networks, if you like Star Trek or Frazier, you have no choice but to deal with it (and pay for it, of course). Very substandard in the most basic things, but I’m sure they will eventually get it right and make the app experience as enjoyable as the the content. more
Frustrating to use Mar 8, 2021

By Kat Monster

I had hoped that with the conversion from CBS to Paramount Plus, we would get a redesigned app. I am disappointed that it didn’t turn out that way. I would recommend this service a lot more if there were a couple more features. First it needs a watchlist feature. I cannot stand having to browse for the show that I want to watch every single time instead of going to one place that has all the shows I have earmarked to watch. Also, downloads need to be fixed. And no it is not my device nor my internet connection. This is the only app where after 2 days, anything downloaded pops up with an error message when I try to play it. Supposed to be available for 30 days but really ends up being 2. I am aware that once you start to watch an episode you have a certain amount of time to finish watching before it expires. That is not what I’m referring to. Again, I do not have issues with any other streaming service’s app with downloading and watching episodes later. I live in an area where I don’t have access to at-home internet so this is a very important issue to me. I would use and recommend this app a lot more if these issues were fixed/ added more
Bring Back CBS All Access Nov 14, 2021

By ajaxon3

I downloaded the Paramount+ app when CBS All Access disappeared because all my favorite shows were on CBS. Also, the ad-free streaming was one of the things I really liked about CBS. I can still get all my shows & no-ad streaming on your app, but am constantly getting “fatal error” messages & having to start over when the episodes or shows change. When I opened the app to send a review, I was amazed to see that complaints about the app crashing began 3 years ago. Really? In 3 years, the problem hasn’t been fixed? I have several ad-free streaming apps on my iPad that allow problem-free streaming &, even if it means losing my shows on Paramount+, I don’t intend to continue to pay for a faulty app. So, fix the problem soon or I’m gone! This is no way to run s streaming service & the fact that I don’t have problems like this with my other streaming apps tells me the problems can be solved, so what’s holding you back? Can’t believe you aren’t losing customers due to poor performance. One more thing: don’t tell me to turn off my iPad & reboot it or to reinstall the app; I’ve already done that & it doesn’t solve anything! more

Live TV segments issues, can’t save shows, doesn’t remember where left off Apr 18, 2021

By thijsdecker

I’m currently doing the commercial plan free preview. I will cancel very soon for three specific reasons. 1.) Going to live TV and selecting one of the segments glitch — Every single time a black screen flashes and it repeats the last 10 seconds before continuing to the next segment. This makes watching previous live TV segments unwatchable. 2.) The app does not remember where I left off, which means I have to start from the beginning of an episode upon coming back to the app. I’m lucky if I remember where I was, so this is another frustrating dealbreaker. 3.) There are a ton of shows, and some of them you can download, which are the only reasons I’ve ranked this two stars. Problem is, I have to scroll through hundreds of shows every time I want to see what I want to watch, because there is no way to “pin”, or otherwise mark a show as something I want to watch later. It is perplexing that there is no “list” or way to save a show to watch later. You really expect me to scroll for five whole minutes to try to find/remember the show that I wanted to watch last week? Biggest dealbreaker - I almost don’t even want to use for free without this feature. Lastly, there is a section called “Keep Watching”, but the shows don’t end up there if you don’t watch enough of them, so quickly opening a show to get it to save there as a hack doesn’t work. more
Worst app Dec 15, 2022

By 989MS

I’ve had this app/service over a year and I feel like it has not improved one bit. I don’t know how anyone can rate this app above 3 stars with all of its limitations and lack of offerings compared to its competitors. Casting is not good at all, it stops castings and makes you start over from the beginning of what your watching instead of picking up where it stopped. My other complaint is closed captions, I like to use that when watching tv and I have to turn it back on for every episodes, why can’t you remember my preferences. My biggest complaint is downloading, besides the fact that certain shows/movies are available for download and you aren’t allowed to leave the app while downloading and the fact that it takes almost 10 mins to download a episode 😒and the app can’t download more than one episode/movie at a time. It crashes/stops when you try to download more than one thing. SMH. Now to the reason I am writing the app, it took almost one pain staking hour to download shows/movies they were not there the next day when I went to watch them. Why I can’t see the movies I downloaded for offline viewing when I am offline. When I regained access to Wi-Fi I could see my offline shows. I would also like to point out the shows will leave if you don’t watch them, there is no renewing them, you have to complete the pain staking process of trying to download everything all over again. more

By duknw whoiam

App isn't great, but not the worst. You can't remove things from recently watched even when completed watching. Doesn't pick up where you left off, and the constant ads, more so than other streaming apps. Thankfully there is an ad count so you can go do something while they play, but there are more ads then content sometimes. Kids selection could use some improvement. more
Keeps Glitching on my TV possible Divorce Aug 29, 2022

By PS5 Girl

I only have 3 shows I watch on Paramount plus. When the commercials come on it freezes and eventually it will tell me “Something went wrong. Please try again later”. When I do try again later and maybe a couple weeks or months later it does the same thing. I haven’t been able to finish Season 4 of FBI and now Season 5 is coming out soon as well as a new season of Seal Team. However, I have found a way to override the glitch by accessing the Paramount + app through my husbands Play Station 5 . There has been a lot of compromise/arguments between who gets the PS5 this past year. I do not want to entertain that any longer especially when Paramount + is supposed to be entertaining me. We only have ONE PS5. Please fix this issue before this ends in a divorce… and I’m not talking about me and my husband.. I’ve tried and tried again so many times and I have exhausted all my trying with you. I hate to have to bring up the D word but I need the same amount of effort I have been putting into Paramount+ reciprocated. Not only have you exhausted my time and effort but also most importantly my money. Please reach out to your local geek squad to get this situation under control before the new seasons come out. 2 stars for good tv shows Minus 3 stars for for not being able to watch them in the family room, compromise/arguments for the PS5, all the trying and money. more
Hopeful that Paramount will fix it!! Nov 23, 2021

By Frustrated Subscriber 8906

I hate to write a bad review but I also hate the fact that I may have to cancel my account. I would have loved for this to be the 5 star review I dreamed it would be but it’s not. Here’s my story; I am a new customer to paramount+. I became a member because they are acquiring all of my favorite shows. I was excited to see the lists of shows they offer and also have the option to download. I use that a lot when I fly. Since getting my account set up, I have had nothing but buffering, fatal errors, and downloads that won’t play. I have sent in tickets through the customer support system in the app with no reply, except for the automated email that they are overwhelmed and will look at it when they can. I’m apparently not the only one having issues. Every issue that pops up says my issue is due to the WiFi or internet that I am using, but that shouldn’t be the case. All of my other streaming accounts work (and I have several). I have used many different devices and WiFi option but nothing helps. I guess my biggest frustration is if you’re going to take exclusive rights to top tv shows, YOU NEED TO HAVE AN APP THAT WORKS. I will end this rant/cry for help. I want this app to be everything I hoped for. Please get it working correctly, if you are reading this Paramount IT. From a hopeful but frustrated customer. more
One of the worst apps I have Dec 6, 2021

By Lolaney

I have many streaming apps, some free, some I pay for. Paramount + is a HUGE disappointment!! The Paramount Network streaming app isn’t any better either. Anyways, we were gifted a year of Paramount + and I have to say- if you pay for this service, you must be having a better experience than we are because this app is terrible. When you first open- on the iPhone, iPad Pro, Mac or Apple TV- the screen goes black and stays that way for at least a minute. During playing a show or movie, playback stops, starts, stops, starts, stops. It’s so frustrating. I had thought if this app turned out to be good that we would upgrade the subscription… that will NEVER happen until they fix these issues. So glad we aren’t paying for this crap!!! *My response* to the developers, you cannot be serious with that response… has to be some generic bull crap answer that everyone gets. If the app isn’t working across all the devices, it’s not a user or device issue- it’s an APP ISSUE!!! Y’all need to fix it because I don’t see how in the world you will keep customers this way. Btw, I DID go through all of the trouble shooting info on your web site, tried to contact someone because nothing advised 1. Worked or 2. Applied to my issues. I left a message to speak to someone, but that hasn’t happened and I’m still waiting. more
Ignorance Jan 8, 2022

It’s as if the developers at Paramount+ took the time to go over every good function that NETFLIX and other streaming services have and said, “Nahhhhhh, too mainstream, let’s go the Bethesda route.” 20% of the time the app crashes, 50% of the time the videos loop backwards and replay scenes while the audio continues forward, and the last 30% of the time the apps functionality is completely unreliable. To be more specific, my List doesn’t pop up when opening the app, 7/10 times there’s a “Fatal Error”, theres never an option to skip intros, the “Next Episode” button stoped showing up, pressing 1 of the 3 middle buttons on screen of back 10 seconds, pause/play, and forward 10 seconds doesn’t work, and even when paying the $10 a month for no ads, THEY STILL MANAGE TO SNEAK SOME ADS IN THERE. So, some advice to the developers. Take some time to go over the architecture of the app and figure out if there’s anything log jamming individual functionality. Check to see if any functions repeat unnecessarily and determine whether or not the current functions are appropriately designed. Redesign the UI of the video format so that it is more conducive to touch capabilities. Finally, stop giving ads when people are paying double the amount you ask for, for your lowest subscription option. more
Frustrating May 20, 2019

By Transplant37

This is ridiculous. When the app works it works fine. But it freezes a lot. Then the app needs to be closed to restart. The download should be a true download. Some episodes simply stop and there is not resetting that position. The only thing to do is remove the download and the re-download. Now if I had consistent WiFi, then why would I need to download? It is like the developers have never traveled nor used the other online apps like Prime or Netflix or ITunes. I paid for it. I should be able to download the episode, with error correction, see the episode and then delete it. Simple. But not on this app. When I am on a plane or train and wi-if is spotty, that should not even matter because the episodes are downloaded! And I am traveling overseas now and can’t watch because I am out of the country???? Ridiculous. I downloaded the episodes in the USA, I should be able to watch them overseas. Same as the other apps. CBS, if you want me to pay full price then make Season 2 of Star Trek Discovery on iTunes and I will pay it. But if you want me to use the CBS app and pay you directly at least give me an app that works and works for travel. Not every user is a 20 year old sitting on their mom’s couch. Some of us have jobs, money, choices and are aware of other apps and how this CBS app should function. more
Annoying Issues Dec 11, 2021

By twaynejordan

So I love the movies and TV shows that the streaming service offers. But there are three specific issues that really annoy me to the point where I almost can’t watch the app. The first is that when you watch a show and it is added to your “continue watching” queue, if you click on it from the “continue watching” queue it does not allow you to choose the episode you would like to watch. So if you are watching a show late at night and fall asleep and miss a few episodes, you can’t just click on it in your “continue watching” queue. You have to search for the show again and choose it from the search area, because that is the only way you can choose which episode to watch. The second is how often the streaming messes up during ads at the end of episodes. So a lot of times when an episode ends and it plays the ads, once the ads are over it won’t go to the next episode, and gets stuck on just a black screen to where you have to restart the app. Lastly, the subtitles for shows and movies are WAY off. They show about two frames too fast, and if the speaker is talking fast, then the subtitles move so quickly that it is sometimes impossible to read them fast enough to know what is being said. more
FIX yourselves, P+ Mar 20, 2022

By Rusty Shacklfield

This platform is worse than HBO Max… (if you know, you know). I’m able to load a show approximately 1 out of 4 tries. Then once it plays a 30 second ad for about 5 seconds; it cuts & goes right to my programming. Cool. It then plays the full episode, with no buffering. THEN… once the episode is over, literally 100% of the time, says connection error & wont play the next episode (auto-play is on), & freezes. Additionally. The FFW/RW features are very poor. Sometimes if you bump the remote/controller, it will crash the platform once you try to cancel the action. Everything is up to date on all devices, & things have yet to improve. I’ve used data, WiFi, hotspot, etc. Zero improvements. & don’t even get me started on trying this app on the Vizio smartTV… I almost destroyed my remote bc I thought it was my remote that wasn’t doing what it was supposed to. Was definitely not my remote. EDIT: OH. It’s latest trick: I have to manually log back in every single time I open the app again 👍🏼 Update after dev response: I’ve troubleshot it a hundred times with no relevant success. Not to mention, your trouble shooting just consists of “close the program, & open it again,” or, “clear your cache.” None of that works. Read the room, Paramount+. Read. The. Room. more

The shows on the app are great. Overall though, this is the worst streaming app. It doesn't auto play the next episode, the ads are unbearable, and you can't fast forward or rewind the show without it glitching out and needing to watch the show over again before you get back to the spot you were at. Of all the streaming devices there are, you'd expect this to be a little more friendly and actually work like the others. more

Worst streaming application out there. It's buggy and crashes. It has no problem playing all the ads, but freezes or crashes when the movie or show is supposed to play. I have tried it on multiple devices, and I get the same result. I find it suspicious that if you keep letting the ads run for a couple of minutes after the app freezes, then it might let you watch your show. (This is after letting the app play the 5 to 6 standard ads if you have the basic plan with ads.) more

You cannot maximize the app on the latest android. It took me forever to expand the frame of the window so it was almost as large as the screen just to make anything watchable. Clicking the icon to maximize does nothing. I think it's disabled. What is worse, though, is that the video loses sync with the audio after playing only a few minutes. It forces me to rewind and then replay to resync. This never happens on my Fire HD with the same internet connection. Worst app ever. more

Unfortunately the app just does not work well. I constantly get Error 6040 when trying to load an episode. Additionally, the "Keep Watching" and "My List" tabs do a very poor job at tracking what you have watched and letting you pick up where you left off. Also suffers from a strange UI choice of no button to skip to the next episode, and no option to select video quality. more

Absolute garbage app on Kindle Fire! Can't fast forward or rewind. You push either and it jumps back several minutes and then you get to rewatch the same commercials, and can not get back to where you want. Automatically starts episodes that you haven't watched in the middle just from starting up the app, and is difficult to navigate back to the main or show menu. Makes me want to give up and just cancel my subscription. more

Worst app ever. I watch more of the little blue circle spinning then any show. And forget live sports, it's almost unwatchable. Been through their trouble shooting solutions but nothing changes. Will be deleting immediately after football season, if I can deal with it til the end. Extremely disappointed, it's not like it's a free app, I might be more understanding if it was. Don't waste your time. more

Lacking basic features present in it's competitors. Doesn't remember my caption settings. Doesn't autoplay next episode consistently. Sometimes jumps back and forth between seasons. Sometimes it doesn't play another episode at all. There is functionally no way to get to a series page from the home page of the app. The buttons are there suggesting I should be able to, but they don't work. Search bar is the only method that works. I am generally frustrated by the app when I use it. 😓 more
HORRIBLE TIMES INFINITY. Dec 4, 2019

By VGueli

I have never written a review on here before but I felt that it would be a disservice to everyone if I didn’t write one on this app. I would have given this thing 0 stars if it would have let me but of course you can’t. I’m seriously considering calling my bank for fraudulent activity and having them refund me the money for this app because having to pay for this monstrosity of an app is definitely against the law. I tried this on my Apple TV, my iPhone, my iPad. Just a HORRIBLE app. I feel bad for the TV shows that have to rely on this app for ratings because I genuinely could not spend another minute of my life battling with this app to continue my show. Every 5 seconds the sound goes out. I have to press the 10 second back button to get it to work. Then it will go to a commercial in the middle of one of the most intense scenes and when it comes back it’s 5 minutes ahead of where it left off. Then when I try and rewind, I have to watch the ads again and then when I get back to the part I want to watch, it makes me watch the ads AGAIN. Then still will skip some of the scene again so basically I keep missing key parts of the show- on top of seeing some parts 17 times because I have to keep hitting the rewind button to get sound. I genuinely wish that I could get the time I spent messing around with this app back. For sanity reasons mainly. Hours were wasted and thanks to this app I now probably need therapy. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS. more
Hello 1970s TV - Simply the Worst Service Oct 6, 2022

By RossC99

I specifically got Paramount+ so my wife can watch inside the NFL, she’s a fan of Julian Edelman. At this point we missed episode 2 while I was out of town. Now episode 2 is no longer available to watch or download. It seems as son as episode 3 became available episode 2 is no longer available. What other streaming service prevents you from watching previous episodes. Most promote that option so you can use the service you are paying for to watch the shows and episodes you want to watch, when you want to watch them. Now with episode 3, I downloaded episode 3 prior to episode 4 being released. I went to watch episode 3 this evening and ….. wait for it…… it was gone. Even though I downloaded the episode, as soon as episode 4 became available my download was gone and of course the episode was missing from the list of available episodes to watch. I appreciate Paramount+ reminding me of what TV was in 1970 prior to VCRs and then DVRs. You had to watch it when it was on or you didn’t see it. At this point the only option I have it watch the episode when it comes out or forget it. I would not recommend this app to anyone, and would actively tell people to avoid it. Although good content, it is not anywhere near the frustration of trying to use a poorly designed poorly executed service. Looking at all the negative responses, I am not alone in my assessment. more

Possibly the worst steaming app I've used. Here's just one experience I had trying to use it on my Google TV. Listed Colbert episodes. It's not easy to see which is currently selected - the image gets slightly larger than the others, but there's no border or highlighting. Three tries starting the latest episode, nothing. Tried the previous episode, nothing. Then the audio started playing for both, overlapping. Quit the app and it continued. Had to reboot the TV to stop it. And that's just one. more
