On my Fire 10 tab, unable to access free version of Peacock TV Jul 25, 2021

By Paul P. Williams

Peacock TV wants too much information for free version. Suggestion: get requested information after subscriber chooses to purchase premium version. After managing to get the free version, or so I thought, the app would not let me escape the “get premium version” screen. I gave up and returned to the NBCsports app on my iPhone. This app immediately opens up to the “Tokyo 2020” screen. more

Some problems make it not worth it Feb 8, 2021

By Dianna Ingram

Can’t watch at home except for on my tiny phone screen because the idiots who run this thing decided to block me from using an hdmi. Not worth paying for if I can’t even watch it on a proper tv.
Constant changes in quality and content Aug 17, 2020

By 8432789

I am a day 1 user, waited months for this app at first never had any issues in my Apple TV or iPhone but now it’s constant errors. Most recent is just solid black screen with an outline of the channel schedule instead of puss in boots error screen occasionally. They also took away the office channel quietly a couple of days ago. Changed the reality tv “in it to win it” channel (that had huge variety in programming) into deal or no deal for over a week non stop 24/7. Just rename the channel already after nearly 250 episodes straight it’s officially the deal or no deal channel! I assumed okay maybe after they play each episode in the series I will get to see something new, sadly they just stared over from episode 1 again. Same episodes of kitchen nightmares (season 1) have been playing non stop for 5 days when it’s KN evening time block and the profit season 1. This didn’t used to be the case! There would be a mix of several seasons. I was thinking about subscribing but these are pretty major and sudden changes that make no sense. They were also what I used the app for 99% of the time. Went from being my #1 app to deleting and resubscribing to CBS all access who instead of taking away content added over 200 season of different shows last week. more

I absolutely love this app on my Samsung TV but for some reason the app only works for about a couple clicks. It's very frustrating especially when I want to watch my show (The Lost Symbol) and I can't. So I have to watch it on my little tv (my phone) which works fine btw. It is glitchy. Compared to others yeah its like a 6/10 but still enjoyable. Not only that but the ads. I have premium and it says "ad free" but I still get them. How do I turn it off?? Please fix this 🐛... more

By Jennifer McIntire

I love the app, the content is everything I want and more... problem is it's SUPER SLOW! Slow to load each episode (sometimes it doesn't even load, it just kicks me back to the main page), slow to initially pull up when starting the app. Just slow!! And irritatingly unpredictable when it comes to whether I can even watch it at all. It's got me wondering if your app is so popular now that it's being bogged down? Please fix this, as I'm a paying customer and would like a better experience. more
Content vs app functionality Jul 21, 2021

By aabeaujean

Update: the developers actually listened. PiP is now part of the app! The other issues are still there, but PiP is a nice improvement. The content is great. The app's functionality is problematic. For example: 1. there is no picture-in-picture support. 2. if my headphones come out accidentally, the content keeps going though the speakers rather than pausing. This is unlike nearly every other streaming app and is troublesome. If I wanted the streaming content broadcast loudly though my phone's speakers I would not have been using headphones. 3. If you tap the three dots in the corner when watching a TV series, it shows all the series' episodes. The problem is that the episodes are not categorised by season. Instead, all the episodes from the beginning of the series are shown. This is troublesome when there are hundreds of episodes. It would be much better if the episodes were categorised by season. I believe if the developers worked through the features of the Netflix app and saw how useful the features are, they could substantially improve the Peacock app's functionality. Once the functionality is improved, this could be the best streaming app available. more
Add Picture in Picture, audio descriptions & autoplay cancel. Jan 27, 2021

By Crichelle

Add Picture in Picture, audio descriptions & autoplay cancel. I really want to love this app. I even paid for the commercial free version, because I love NBC so much. The content is great. Unfortunately, this app is lacking in several accessibility features. Additionally, it needs different user profiles, so that I can have a watchlist that I don’t share with the rest of my family. It will not allow me to do picture in picture, which means my shows are interrupted each time I open a message to reply. I am very disappointed that there are not audio descriptions available for most shows. People with low vision or blindness, this limits access to some great television. Finally, I have tried to work out how to cancel autoplay as a default, but I can’t seem to do it. If I do not physically tap the screen before an episode ends, the app will automatically play the next episode. This is especially frustrating if I fall asleep watching a show, only to wake up with a whole season over. Again, I really do want to love this app. Every other streaming service I have allows for picture in picture, as well as autoplay camel, and most have audio descriptions. I hope peacock gets these features soon! more
Improvement Ideas for the app Jun 18, 2021

By nsabo08

I have an account with peacock, and I love using it! I just have a few suggestions that could provide better experience. I would like to suggest maybe adding a feedback option in the app where users can provide feedback on the app, and possibly have a list of things to add for the feedback, like how Netflix does. Have an option to request NBC shows to be added onto peacock that is currently not on peacock, and if for some reason the shows cannot be added maybe provide a reason why it cannot be added. Also I would like to suggest having a profile of some sort for franchises to be added into one group for example the Chicago Franchise (Med, PD, Fire) Law and Order ( LO, SVU, CI, OC,) where users can click on the the group of shows and then it would open into selecting which one you want to watch. I would also like to request all the Law and Order Shows and movie to be added into peacock that are not on there right now, also the Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice. NBC Universal why have a streaming service when you don’t even provide access to shows that you have created that aren’t under any licensing agreements? more
Best of any streaming services Jan 11, 2021

By C'est moi, cherie

I love this app — I watch something from it every day. There are an astounding number of shows available at no recurring cost to me (I wait through 45 seconds of ads during a show’s normal commercial break). Other streaming services (cough cough Disney, CBS, etc. cough cough) have nearly everything trapped behind a paywall, and honestly I can’t afford 6 dollars here, 5 dollars there, every single month, to four or five streaming services. Frankly I do not want to sign up not only due to budget but from principle: when the writing hit the wall with companies pulling shows from Netflix to move them to their own premium streaming services, I said then that I wouldn’t sign up for multiple premium services because I saw it as the companies’ greed. And I don’t have to with Peacock, because they make so much available while being so reasonable with their consumers. So because of their model, this is one streaming service where I actually would sign up for premium just to support them. more

Works pretty great. There's annoyances like stuff under Continue Watching disappears after a month or so if you haven't watched a show. I like to watch a bunch of different shows at the same time so this really bothers me. Also it's 2021, this app needs Dolby Vision support (at the very least HDR10) Also they need to release The Office SuperFan episodes faster (they are absolutely wonderful) I love what SuperFan episodes they have but I've seen The Office so much already, I need new stuff! more

Good show selection and the extras always has something unexpected at this point. Got it for stuff like Battlestar Galactica, Croods' and The Croods' Family Tree. I like what I like and Peacock 🦚 has a lot of it for cheap compared to the cable so, need to know more? try ✅it, cancel ❌ it if it ain't what you want. All I can say. I've kept it so far. Oh, and not a single tech glitch either. None My honest opinion and I'm sticking to it! Lizzard🦎 Smith more

I love everything about the app however a MAJOR defect happens often too many times. It says I'm offline and need to upgrade to premium. As I am already a paying premium member I expect my experience to work. I use an android phone and my internet connection works just fine with all of my other apps. I tried deleting it and reinstalling, opening up play store and opening it up from there. I would have given it 5 stars but that's is a deal breaker for me. more

Used to love this app but now I'm trying to watch Halloween kills and it's not allowing me it starts to play then says resume over and over and over again! I'm not too happy when I pay so I'm able to watch the extra things. It's not just the movie it's the ENTIRE APP. If it were working right I would absolutely recommend it but right now I'm gonna say no. It's quite frustrating. more
Terrible tvOS app May 29, 2021

By HMK48718

If I could avoid using peacock, I would, but there are too many good shows. However, it is still a painfully bad experience. On iOS/iPadOS there is no Picture in Picture support, which is very annoying, and sometimes the audio breaks and I have to exit the thing I’m watching and reopen it. That is annoying, but not too bad. tvOS is the real problem. It works terribly with the new Siri remote. Normally you can go back or forward ten seconds, but with the new Siri remote there is no way to do that. Clicking the forward and back buttons will bring up an orange symbol to go back or forward 10 seconds, but it won’t do anything, and it won’t go away until you tap somewhere else on the remote. If I had this problem in any other app, it would be slightly annoying, but I would just use the normal method of swiping (or rotating with the new circle gesture on the new Siri remote) to get where I need to go. Not only does peacock not support the new circle gesture, the swiping is terrible. This is probably the biggest problem with peacock. Tiny finger movements that would get me forward or back 4 seconds or so in the Apple TV app do nothing. But as soon as I start swiping my finger enough for peacock to react, it moves too fast for me to get even close to what I want. I can end up full minutes away from my target. This has been a problem with the old and new Siri remote, and it needs to be fixed. more

By Suni Hoffman

Very buggy app. One of the worst out there. Constantly signs you out. Clears out your 'continue watching section' so you have to manually find the last episode you are on. Says it is connected to the casting device but is not. Tries loading for days. Other apps, like HBO max, sinc with your internet or cable provider to see premium content. Why would anyone pay to watch NBC? Especially if they are already getting paid for advertizing? So glad I am not. more
Peacock TV?! Yeah right. Apr 15, 2021

By The_Real_Big_Boss

So they bought out WWE Network, they segment the shows and present it like garbage in comparison to the previous app and then I try to watch a show, whilst containing as much rage as possible only to find disappointment. THE APP DOESNT SUPPORT HDMI PORTING! How can you have “TV” in your name AND NOT SUPPORT A WELL KNOWN AND QUITE COMMON TV STREAMING DEVICE?! “Peacock IPhone/Android” should be the name, otherwise it’s just false advertisement - if I can’t stream to my TV, this is the biggest digital wooden nickel situation I’ve ever found myself in. This is horrible. If you’re going to buy out the main streaming service to something that has a full blown culture behind the profession, then do your best to support it or otherwise give it to someone who has the gaul or even the slightest intention to do so. I’ll tell you one thing, my family can’t watch a cell phone together and it’s unreasonable to expect something so asinine. For such a selection of material to watch, I honestly can’t believe in 2021 this is an issue. Peacock “TV” - false. This is frankly pathetic and I won’t be renewing my subscription, hopefully someone who cares will do some justice to this completely ridiculous fumbling and vague handling of the term “TV” - television, as in NOT A PHONE. At best they’ll fix it because people had to complain, at worst WWE will have to stay with them and they’ll find some other way to be completely dysfunctional with an appropriate requisite. Dense. more

Payed for a peacock subscription a few minutes ago to watch the new Halloween movie. The streaming is horrible. It's glitchy and lagging non stop. HBO Max and Netflix doesn't do this for me at all. Can't even watch the movie because I'm so frustrated with the lagging. And I'm seeing a lot of other reviews saying the EXACT SAME THING. We pay for this app and it's not worth it. I want my money back more
Clunky, slow app. Not gonna pay just for the Office. Feb 9, 2021

By CTCVA

I love The Office. And Parks & Rec. But there are just way too many steaming services now and paying for all of them to watch one or two shows is just ridiculous. So I’m not paying for this one. The free content on Peacock is abundant, but it’s mostly shows that no one wants to watch or that you can watch for free on the Hallmark Channel or wherever they now show Murder She Wrote. Not exactly cutting edge programming. If this was an excellent app, I might have been interested. But it is clunky to operate, not very intuitive, and slow. So. Slow. It can take 5+ minutes to search for, find, and start playing a show. All while I’m watching those little rainbow dots go in circles. And the app freezes and crashes a lot. Not usually during a show, but definitely a lot while navigating the app and searching. We have super fast internet (more than a gig in speed to our house) and have no problem getting Netflix or Prime to load fast. Even CBS All Access is faster. Personally, I hope we will soon see consolidation in this space so we can see our favorite shows without having to subscribe to a dozen different services. And as those apps compete against each other, Peacock will not be a winner. NBC, you gave it a try. Now I hope you will license your best shows to Netflix and let us watch while you earn royalties for doing nothing. more

I tried to reactivate my premium plus subscription through my phone in the play store under the subscription section where it was showing that I'd previously canceled on the 6th. While it was successful in charging me, neither my yahoo account nor Gmail is showing that any subscription was made. When I contacted for help, I was told to go through Google assistance, where I was told it was the job of peacock's developer to fix this issue since all connections in my end were fine. I won't be back. more

This app and the entire Peacock service is starting to suck. It works on 2 of our TV 's but refuses to recognize my password on our primary TV. Password reset is not working. Password not recognized in the app I just installed on my phone.. My password worked fine on the other 2 TV's. Supposed to be able to stream to 3 TV's. Getting really frustrated. Had to watch last weeks game on a 32" TV. Thought I would have this resolved by now more

Great titles for a great price Jun 15, 2021

By nametext

Surprised by some of the titles and shows I have found on here that I can no longer find on other streaming services I have paid over 3x a month for! Cheapest subscription has ads, and initially had them playing periodically throughout the shows as you watch which was like having cable all over again(ads interrupting the climax of a movie ruins the experience) and I planned on ending my subscription after one month. HOWEVER, just recently(i suppose most recent update) they have begun to show all of the ads immediately at the beginning of the show and then allowing you to watch the rest ad free. I love this new implementation, allows me to pay for the cheaper subscription and still enjoy full movies after a single 180 sec ad break in the beginning. I will definitely be continuing my subscription moving forward. more

THE WORST APP EVER Nov 11, 2020

By Kear...the eon

Once I was sitting on my couch and Aisa this app on the App Store so I bought it of course I had to sign in it took me so long I could not find a password and it kept saying this you Artie use this password something went wrong try again later and I can’t do it so I finally got in to the app and I’ll look for Harry Potter because it’s my favorite movie and I found it so watch it 1000 times and then I decided to go to temple run and I came back to the app two minutes later and it was gone of my favorite movies we’re gone so I delete the app and signed in again I looked it was gone so it was not good at all so I’m writing this review and just so you know Peacock is my least favorite app and it is horrible horrible horrible horrible and half of it and half of the moviesLike they make you get premium for it and it’s a horrible app!!!!!!!!!!!! more
I like the content , but the steaming is not good. Jul 19, 2020

By Bluegrass bandita

My streaming has been pretty terrible with this app for a couple of different reasons at different times. Things will start good, I’m able to cast, the show or movie starts playing, but within about 10 minutes or so, the sound and the subtitles are out of sync with what’s going on. It’s truly annoying because I have hearing issues anyway and I sometimes try to read lips and I rely on things syncing up. The second issue is that some programs just will not cast with my Chromecast device. It say that it’s casting, but then reverts to my I-phone or I-pad. I really like the large variety of programs and channels that you offer. I truly hope that you are able to get these glitches worked out in the very near future. more
People sleep too much on Peacock Jul 25, 2021

By NY NY 90

When I first got peacock, it was for The Office and Parks and Rec, and I knew I’d also have access to other shows I love like 30 Rock and Modern family. But the first thing that surprised me was the movie selection. It was a lot more impressive than I thought it would be. So that’s why I decided upgrade to Premium Plus, which I recommend. So then I tried some of the shows exclusive to Peacock, and was even more impressed. I loved Mr. Mercedes and Save Me. Also really loved Rutherford Falls and Girls5eva!! And really excited to watch Dr. Death. Also, currently using it to watch the Olympics, and it’s working like a charm. So on that note, I recommend Peacock, and would definitely suggest Premium Plus, because you really are getting your money’s worth here more
Love the service terrible app Mar 6, 2021

By Dozen eg

Peacock has great content in fact it’s my number one streaming service but the app is very buggy it constantly crashes and the most annoying thing of all is when I’m mirroring to my chromecast it doesn’t automatically go to the next episode when watching a tv show, its super frustrating I have to open the app and it usually crashes so I have to force close it a couple of times every time I wanna go to the next episode, and why do I have turn the subtitles on every time? Can’t it be set once and for all like other apps? please fix it 3/5/21 update: today’s update fixed the above issues I’m giving it a 5 star rating as I have no further complaints about my experience with this app. Thank you more
Great tv app Jul 22, 2021

By gabennett123123

Hi so first off I’m going to just say this isn’t a fake rating this is my honest opinion. Secondly I originally was using Netflix but the bad thing about Netflix is there is a variety of shows that most people have watched and not enough new stuff. Third I used Tubi and there was too many ads and also not enough new shows and movies. Fourth the reason I picked peacock is becuase there was a lot of hype around it being the best free streaming movies and tv shows so I make an account and the first thing that pops up on peacock is punky Brewster both the original and new. Now yes I may have already watched the original punky Brewster before all of this but it brought back nostalgia and now seeing soleil as an adult is awesome anyways that’s all thank you more

Content vs app functionality Jul 21, 2021

By aabeaujean

Update: the developers actually listened. PiP is now part of the app! The other issues are still there, but PiP is a nice improvement. The content is great. The app's functionality is problematic. For example: 1. there is no picture-in-picture support. 2. if my headphones come out accidentally, the content keeps going though the speakers rather than pausing. This is unlike nearly every other streaming app and is troublesome. If I wanted the streaming content broadcast loudly though my phone's speakers I would not have been using headphones. 3. If you tap the three dots in the corner when watching a TV series, it shows all the series' episodes. The problem is that the episodes are not categorised by season. Instead, all the episodes from the beginning of the series are shown. This is troublesome when there are hundreds of episodes. It would be much better if the episodes were categorised by season. I believe if the developers worked through the features of the Netflix app and saw how useful the features are, they could substantially improve the Peacock app's functionality. Once the functionality is improved, this could be the best streaming app available. more
Improvement Ideas for the app Jun 18, 2021

By nsabo08

I have an account with peacock, and I love using it! I just have a few suggestions that could provide better experience. I would like to suggest maybe adding a feedback option in the app where users can provide feedback on the app, and possibly have a list of things to add for the feedback, like how Netflix does. Have an option to request NBC shows to be added onto peacock that is currently not on peacock, and if for some reason the shows cannot be added maybe provide a reason why it cannot be added. Also I would like to suggest having a profile of some sort for franchises to be added into one group for example the Chicago Franchise (Med, PD, Fire) Law and Order ( LO, SVU, CI, OC,) where users can click on the the group of shows and then it would open into selecting which one you want to watch. I would also like to request all the Law and Order Shows and movie to be added into peacock that are not on there right now, also the Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice. NBC Universal why have a streaming service when you don’t even provide access to shows that you have created that aren’t under any licensing agreements? more
Sep 25, 2021

By Ryan Volk

Works pretty great. There's annoyances like stuff under Continue Watching disappears after a month or so if you haven't watched a show. I like to watch a bunch of different shows at the same time so this really bothers me. Also it's 2021, this app needs Dolby Vision support (at the very least HDR10) Also they need to release The Office SuperFan episodes faster (they are absolutely wonderful) I love what SuperFan episodes they have but I've seen The Office so much already, I need new stuff! more

Good show selection and the extras always has something unexpected at this point. Got it for stuff like Battlestar Galactica, Croods' and The Croods' Family Tree. I like what I like and Peacock 🦚 has a lot of it for cheap compared to the cable so, need to know more? try ✅it, cancel ❌ it if it ain't what you want. All I can say. I've kept it so far. Oh, and not a single tech glitch either. None My honest opinion and I'm sticking to it! Lizzard🦎 Smith more
LOVE the content, but problems with playback Sep 14, 2020

By RoMoBenCeasDee

Go team 🌈Peacock 🦚 for providing AWESOME content — all my favorite Bravo shows, every season, even every season of Bethany’s spin offs! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I also love the variety of Indie movies with great celebs and directors! 🥳🥳🥳 Now — the problem with playback. When I watch Peacock on my TV through my Xfinity connected set top/DVR cable box, everything works fine. No problems with the time tracking, (ie if you are 30 mins into watching the program, it accurately displays the progress). BUT — while watching the same show or movie on my iPad or iPhone (not necessarily picking up where I left off on one device and watching it on another — that works great and is an awesome feature!), I can be 30 mins into a show, yet the progress bar is stuck on the time from the last commercial break. Then if I try to rewind, it makes me watch the entire commercial break AGAIN. It has happened where I wind up being forced to watch more commercial time than actual content time in one 30 minute show!! Also, sometimes I will get all the way to the end of a program, and it won’t auto start the next episode. Any progression feature (rewind, FF, etc) tapped will trigger ANOTHER commercial break!! Lastly, can’t you remove commercials altogether for premium subscribers? Hopefully this progression issue gets fixed QUICKLY 🙏🏼🙏🏼! It’s REALLY ANNOYING to have to sit through so many commercials every time you rewind!! more
App Works Good on iPhone, Not So Good Elsewhere Aug 19, 2020

By Long John 1964

I enjoy the shows I can watch on my iPhone. Great selection, and plays back anything without a hitch. However ... ... I also like to play videos on my much larger TV. Now we have a problem. My iPhone 11 Pro Max running the latest version of iOS refuses to play any videos from this app on any TV. It will still play on my iPhone, while the TV shows a freeze frame of where I started the video. The audio comes from the TV as it should, though. When I try to play a video on my TV from an older device, it doesn’t play on either screen, though I can still hear audio from the TV. It still plays on my device properly while not plugged into a TV. I have several other streaming video apps, and all work the way they’re supposed to. Peacock is the only one that doesn't. I was hoping the latest update would fix this problem. It didn’t. more
Great, beeps little improvements May 11, 2021

By AngryShortBloke

I am so far enjoying the app, love that it’s free with commercials but you can pay to remove them. The app itself needs little quality of life improvements however 1. When you download multiple episodes of a show you cannot auto play the next episode even if it’s also downloaded, you have to back out and reselect the next one 2. Your continue watching page is not on the opening page of the app, you have to select browse just to see what you’ve already been watching, I feel my recent viewing should be the first thing I see so I can quickly resume my shows 3. I don’t quite understand why some episode downloads have such brief time limits, it isn’t the biggest issue but I downloaded some P&R and it started a two day countdown so I have to hurry and watch them even though I’m paying to be able to watch them offline more
Needs work Jan 7, 2021

By B_Papz

This can easily head to the top of the streaming game if they squish little quality of life bugs. Channels are a great idea, and I love it more than I thought it would. The “comedy” channel needs actual episodes though, not a series of 3 minute clips from various series. I want this channel with full episodes of The Office, Parks and Recs, 30 Rock, etc. I’ve had to connect my Xfinity account at least 3 different times. For some reason it disconnects me from my account and boots me back down to a “free account”. Very frustrating when I am trying to watch later seasons of The Office (on either my phone, web browser or Roku), and I have to find a computer to reattach my Xfinity account. A “Skip Intro” button would be really helpful so I don’t have to hear the same theme songs over and over. I don’t know if this is a bug or on purpose, but it is annoying having to always re-sign in to start watching. I am sometimes booted out in the middle of watching, and have to wait a while before I am able to log back in. This is especially annoying when I am watching channels, where I am unable to rewind. Again, the app has great potential. These small things need to be fixed for it to rise to the top of the streaming game. more
Good app Aug 26, 2021

By exsposethefakes

The app is good, just wish there was more content to watch and a better live tv selection. I pay for premium and feel when i want to watch a show i have to watch an ad and when i realize i already watch the episode i back out to go to the next and have to watch the same ad again. As a premium subscriber i feel there should be an option for ad-free subscription. There is just not that much content for me to be paying 5$ a month and not be able to watch ad free. They have done a lot of good things to the app like making a 125 second ad then allowing me to watch a movie without seeing another add and thats genius! But can you please do something about having to watch an ad every time an episode starts when we hadn’t even watch the prior? more
Good For Free But Needs Work Aug 4, 2021

By taxmaven18

I just downloaded and made an account so I could watch The Office and these are the problems I’ve noticed in the first 10 minutes of use: 1. The time it takes the app to actually open to the main page once you’ve already selected the app is noticeably longer than all my other streaming apps. 2. Cannot Apple AirPlay your program onto your other television/device. The option just doesn’t show up. 3. The keyboard needs to either NOT be in QWERTY format (and instead alphabetical order format) OR the QUERTY keyboard keys need to not be so spread out. Entering on the tv screen using a remote is a nightmare. Sorry but my eyes aren’t placed like this: 👁 👄 👁 Despite these issues, since I’m not currently paying for any premium Peacock subscription, the app is actually pretty decent. I already saw a pretty good selection of free television shows and films. Since my house REALLY missed having The Office and Parks & Rec playing in the background, it ultimately makes the above issues not too big of a deal for me. So far the app seems to be easy to use, though it is easier to navigate through a smartphone (so a bummer that you can’t AirPlay from your phone). more

Constant changes in quality and content Aug 17, 2020

By 8432789

I am a day 1 user, waited months for this app at first never had any issues in my Apple TV or iPhone but now it’s constant errors. Most recent is just solid black screen with an outline of the channel schedule instead of puss in boots error screen occasionally. They also took away the office channel quietly a couple of days ago. Changed the reality tv “in it to win it” channel (that had huge variety in programming) into deal or no deal for over a week non stop 24/7. Just rename the channel already after nearly 250 episodes straight it’s officially the deal or no deal channel! I assumed okay maybe after they play each episode in the series I will get to see something new, sadly they just stared over from episode 1 again. Same episodes of kitchen nightmares (season 1) have been playing non stop for 5 days when it’s KN evening time block and the profit season 1. This didn’t used to be the case! There would be a mix of several seasons. I was thinking about subscribing but these are pretty major and sudden changes that make no sense. They were also what I used the app for 99% of the time. Went from being my #1 app to deleting and resubscribing to CBS all access who instead of taking away content added over 200 season of different shows last week. more

By Pete Torres

I absolutely love this app on my Samsung TV but for some reason the app only works for about a couple clicks. It's very frustrating especially when I want to watch my show (The Lost Symbol) and I can't. So I have to watch it on my little tv (my phone) which works fine btw. It is glitchy. Compared to others yeah its like a 6/10 but still enjoyable. Not only that but the ads. I have premium and it says "ad free" but I still get them. How do I turn it off?? Please fix this 🐛... more
Oct 6, 2021

By Jennifer McIntire

I love the app, the content is everything I want and more... problem is it's SUPER SLOW! Slow to load each episode (sometimes it doesn't even load, it just kicks me back to the main page), slow to initially pull up when starting the app. Just slow!! And irritatingly unpredictable when it comes to whether I can even watch it at all. It's got me wondering if your app is so popular now that it's being bogged down? Please fix this, as I'm a paying customer and would like a better experience. more
Add Picture in Picture, audio descriptions & autoplay cancel. Jan 27, 2021

By Crichelle

Add Picture in Picture, audio descriptions & autoplay cancel. I really want to love this app. I even paid for the commercial free version, because I love NBC so much. The content is great. Unfortunately, this app is lacking in several accessibility features. Additionally, it needs different user profiles, so that I can have a watchlist that I don’t share with the rest of my family. It will not allow me to do picture in picture, which means my shows are interrupted each time I open a message to reply. I am very disappointed that there are not audio descriptions available for most shows. People with low vision or blindness, this limits access to some great television. Finally, I have tried to work out how to cancel autoplay as a default, but I can’t seem to do it. If I do not physically tap the screen before an episode ends, the app will automatically play the next episode. This is especially frustrating if I fall asleep watching a show, only to wake up with a whole season over. Again, I really do want to love this app. Every other streaming service I have allows for picture in picture, as well as autoplay camel, and most have audio descriptions. I hope peacock gets these features soon! more

By Christen Myers

I love everything about the app however a MAJOR defect happens often too many times. It says I'm offline and need to upgrade to premium. As I am already a paying premium member I expect my experience to work. I use an android phone and my internet connection works just fine with all of my other apps. I tried deleting it and reinstalling, opening up play store and opening it up from there. I would have given it 5 stars but that's is a deal breaker for me. more
It’s nice that it’s free Jan 23, 2021

By theGrendel13

Peacock has some mediocre shows and movies on its platform with only a few hits. Now that Comcast has acquired the Office, Parks and Rec, and few others, it makes the app worth downloading. Some of the downsides are that when opening the app, it always begins with the trending section which isn’t tailored to the users likes and dislikes. It displays only what Comcast deems to be important and can be biased towards mainstream media. Also, when watching and finishing an episode of a tv show, it doesn’t automatically play the next episode of the show you are currently watching. So you have to re-enter the app, which opens with the trending screen again, therefore you accidentally click what’s first on the trending page and lose your place in the show. It’s a tad irritating. It would be nice if Comcast would just allow you to continue to watch episodes of the same show and only stop it after an amount of time, similar to Netflix. If they fixed these minor bugs, I think the app would be a lot more streamlined and better quality. more
Good selection but needs updates Feb 6, 2021

By Subssjb

The show selection is great! I haven’t had any issues streaming. Here are the things I think need to be updated: 1.) add a skip intro button PLEASE. It’s not terrible but just annoying to have to watch the intro every single episode (especially while binging). 2.) While using a Chromecast, the app automatically disconnects after one episode. If I’m trying to watch the office, I have to go into my phone, reconnect to the chromecast, find the new episode and re-cast it. Super annoying. 3.) CLOSED CAPTIONING/SUBTITLES: They shut off after almost every episode. This is extremely inconvenient for deaf people like my mom to have to realize “hey they’re talking and i don’t know what they’re saying” to see the subtitles shut off. Please make it so once you turn subtitles on, they stay on for all content on the app until you turn it off! EXTREMELY inconvenient. 4.) I like that it starts pulling up results as you’re searching but it would be more helpful to have search suggestions as you’re typing in case your result isn’t showing up! more
Needs some quality of life improvements. Jul 11, 2021

By iOS_user_96

This is probably my favorite streaming app just because of the shows. But design and usability is great!! Except for a few things… finding shows and movies in your library is harder than it should be. And going to episodes is super unintuitive. It takes you to season one episode one, you have to scroll left all the way until you find where you are, and if you’re trying to figure out if you’ve seen the episode, there’s no way to read a description without clicking on an episode. But than if you want to just scrub to the middle to see if you’ve seen it, you always always always have to watch at least 45 seconds of commercials. Even if you just need to see five seconds. Also… don’t fall asleep while watching because it doesn’t pause after a few episodes like Netflix. I played through almost two seasons because I fell asleep and it kept playing all night. Yeah so if they fix these things, than I’ll give Peacock like a 4.7 out of 5. Super super good. more
Decent service, real poor app quality Sep 30, 2020

By Hän C.

First off, I do love the peacock service - I appreciate the shows available and as I pay for the full subscription I’ve been enjoying the content without ads. The streaming quality has been good for me. I do agree with another reviewer that the reload time is obnoxious, if I pause the video and come back to it. Pausing and returning usually takes the video back 15 seconds which is very frustrating. Also, I’m frustrated that I can’t have the app running in the background while doing something else on my phone. Netflix lets me turn my phone off and just plays the show as audio, which allows me to listen to the show without draining my battery. This seems like a very basic user functionality that all apps should have these days, but I understand that if the app was maybe rushed to production that it’s not there yet. I would appreciate this being fixed for an update. I also wish the app had a homepage where I could save shows for later. It’s frustrating having to remember what I was interested in or having to use the search bar every single time I want to find a show. I also would like an option to hide the main page, which currently shows news and stuff like that. It should be a customizable front page or I should be able to hide the news/sports so that they’re not what I see when I first open the app. I will keep paying for this for a few months in the hopes that the app will get better. more
Good content, terrible layout Mar 14, 2021

By Anita Weenah

As a sitcom enthusiast, the content here is probably the best in regards to the other streaming services available. This is, of course, subjective and I’ll let others judge for themselves if the content is for them or not. Something that isn’t subjective is the awful layout. It’s also been fairly clunky switching between the top tabs. Multiple devices and other people share my sentiment. The overlays during currently streaming content are huge and intrusive. The constant nag screen asking if I’m still there is absurd. I can’t stress enough how all streaming services need an option to turn this off. HBO Max definitely got this part right. Video quality of the streams could also be better. Again, no settings to change any of this. I pay for good internet, at least give me the option to get the most out of it. In summation, the content of the service is 5/5. The structure, layout, and functionality of the app is 1/5. Long way to go. Figure it out. more

Some problems make it not worth it Feb 8, 2021

Can’t watch at home except for on my tiny phone screen because the idiots who run this thing decided to block me from using an hdmi. Not worth paying for if I can’t even watch it on a proper tv.
Terrible tvOS app May 29, 2021

By HMK48718

If I could avoid using peacock, I would, but there are too many good shows. However, it is still a painfully bad experience. On iOS/iPadOS there is no Picture in Picture support, which is very annoying, and sometimes the audio breaks and I have to exit the thing I’m watching and reopen it. That is annoying, but not too bad. tvOS is the real problem. It works terribly with the new Siri remote. Normally you can go back or forward ten seconds, but with the new Siri remote there is no way to do that. Clicking the forward and back buttons will bring up an orange symbol to go back or forward 10 seconds, but it won’t do anything, and it won’t go away until you tap somewhere else on the remote. If I had this problem in any other app, it would be slightly annoying, but I would just use the normal method of swiping (or rotating with the new circle gesture on the new Siri remote) to get where I need to go. Not only does peacock not support the new circle gesture, the swiping is terrible. This is probably the biggest problem with peacock. Tiny finger movements that would get me forward or back 4 seconds or so in the Apple TV app do nothing. But as soon as I start swiping my finger enough for peacock to react, it moves too fast for me to get even close to what I want. I can end up full minutes away from my target. This has been a problem with the old and new Siri remote, and it needs to be fixed. more

This app and the entire Peacock service is starting to suck. It works on 2 of our TV 's but refuses to recognize my password on our primary TV. Password reset is not working. Password not recognized in the app I just installed on my phone.. My password worked fine on the other 2 TV's. Supposed to be able to stream to 3 TV's. Getting really frustrated.

Rather clunky app Dec 18, 2020

By St. Bozman

I am late getting the app. But after having it for about 4 months I am surprised by how poorly the app is designed and works. Take searches, very slow, and doesn’t automatically load suggestions as you type. Also, It is the slowest app on my iPad to open and load, I almost think it crashed with just those 6 dots floating. But then the app loads, only to take a long time to switch to another screen, like when browse is selected or opening settings. One would expect a better user interface and faster app coming out of an entertainment/tech company. Feels like the app isn’t a priority. Would be nice if it allowed for multiple “users” like spouse and kids as we like different shows. Lastly, they should re-think commercials. I’m not against commercials and like them if it means affordable subscriptions. But the commercials are too long. It’s not the good old days of network tv. They should redesign how commercials work for the modern age. Right now I just look at my phone during commercials. So, my conclusion is that it’s an app to go to when there is a show you want to watch, ie: Yellowstone, but not an app you GO TO to find something to watch. Good luck. You’re behind the eight ball and other apps are doing this a lot better. more

By Caitie Copple

Glitchy and frustrating. This app is absolutely terrible compared to Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, etc. At least half the time I use it, it crashes, freezes, doesn't sync the video and audio, or takes multiple minutes to open. The menus are weirdly difficult to navigate, it can't seem to remember what shows I've watched or where I left off, it's hard to see all the seasons and episodes available for a series. I could go on. In general, it's bad enough that I went to the trouble of writing this review. more
Sep 25, 2021

By Andrew Wadleigh

Please make the volume adjustable while casting with the volume keys of the device. Rather than going into a separate menu and having a tiny slider. Tough to fine tune and even worse when it's at full volume. Also, please make it easier to explore season episodes from the episode you're currently watching. Its tough to skip episodes without going back and searching from the main menu. more

By Latisha Savage

I see the improvements in updates. Still needs work. Still can't do split screen, or pip (like Netflix, prime apps do now) so you could multitasks. I understand my plan has ads, fine. But, what annoys me the most is the commercials are LOUDER than show/movie. So if you have ear buds in and a commercial comes on it hurts your ears. The commercial blasts in you ear, because you turned the volume up because the show/movie is softer. No reason the commercials should be louder than show/movie. more
It’s ok Oct 19, 2020

By zats2005

I got this app to watch Rich Eisen. His show is live, but I am not available to watch until about 1/2 way through. I prefer to watch beginning to end. The live broadcast ends at 1pm, but it is not made available to replay until late evening or in some cases the next day. When I 1st began using the app I had frustrations a plenty and hoped the bugs would get worked out before The Rich Eisen Show stopped broadcasting on TV. I don’t see that anything has improved from when I 1st began using the app until now. This app seems to have a wonderful catalog of movies, sports, old tv shows and The problem is, you get about 7-10 minutes in and the buffering begins. I am then informed that I am not connected to the internet. This is while I see all WiFi bars light up. I am then informed I should try a premium membership. Each time I open the app I see so many programs to watch, but it ends in heartbreak. This streaming service looks great, but it doesn’t work. And don’t tell me it’s free and the suggest I purchase premium version. more
Lacking compared to all other streaming services Oct 4, 2020

By fcftuvbu

I’ve never written an app review before but NBC is forcing us to watch Premier League this way so hopefully they can improve the streaming options to match other live streaming services. The live stream has been ok but they need to add the ability to pause/rewind/FF like most live streaming services offer. Also having the ability to join an already started event live or have the option to start at beginning would be a big improvement and again this is the standard in today’s streaming services. The only other issues i have is the speed of searches can be very slow and when you browse for Premier League replays and select one you don’t get the button to play. I’ve found that you have to perform a search to find the replay you want and select it that way to see the button. Both the browse and search seem to go to the same screen but only through search do you actually see the button to play it. Rob more
Not Ready for Prime Time (but we are forced to use it) Sep 20, 2020

By jrscassady

I have been using the app on my iPad and Apple TV since it was released. The app freezes regularly - some of which require navigating away from the stream and back in order to rectify, others which self-correct. This is especially frustrating when watching live sports (I subscribed to Peacock Premium to have access to English Premier League streams). EDIT 9/20: I had no problems 9/19 and 9/20. I would increase to 3 stars except I saw too many people on Twitter and Discord with the same problems I had in the past - including the significant delay which Peacock emailed me was a technical issue limited to 9/14. The app excludes NBC Sports despite NBC Sports Gold being replaced by Peacock - leaving sports fans with having to check multiple locations for content. NBC should migrate all NBC Sports app contents to Peacock and allow users to log into their cable subscription in Peacock to unlock access to that content. A single NBC content app would make for a better user experience. more

On my Fire 10 tab, unable to access free version of Peacock TV Jul 25, 2021

By Paul P. Williams

Peacock TV wants too much information for free version. Suggestion: get requested information after subscriber chooses to purchase premium version. After managing to get the free version, or so I thought, the app would not let me escape the “get premium version” screen. I gave up and returned to the NBCsports app on my iPhone. This app immediately opens up to the “Tokyo 2020” screen. more

If it were working right I would absolutely recommend it but right now I'm gonna say no. It's quite frustrating. more

Very buggy app. One of the worst out there. Constantly signs you out. Clears out your 'continue watching section' so you have to manually find the last episode you are on. Says it is connected to the casting device but is not. Tries loading for days. Other apps, like HBO max, sinc with your internet or cable provider to see premium content. Why would anyone pay to watch NBC? Especially if they are already getting paid for advertizing? So glad I am not. more
Peacock TV?! Yeah right. Apr 15, 2021

By The_Real_Big_Boss

So they bought out WWE Network, they segment the shows and present it like garbage in comparison to the previous app and then I try to watch a show, whilst containing as much rage as possible only to find disappointment. THE APP DOESNT SUPPORT HDMI PORTING! How can you have “TV” in your name AND NOT SUPPORT A WELL KNOWN AND QUITE COMMON TV STREAMING DEVICE?! “Peacock IPhone/Android” should be the name, otherwise it’s just false advertisement - if I can’t stream to my TV, this is the biggest digital wooden nickel situation I’ve ever found myself in. This is horrible. If you’re going to buy out the main streaming service to something that has a full blown culture behind the profession, then do your best to support it or otherwise give it to someone who has the gaul or even the slightest intention to do so. I’ll tell you one thing, my family can’t watch a cell phone together and it’s unreasonable to expect something so asinine. For such a selection of material to watch, I honestly can’t believe in 2021 this is an issue. Peacock “TV” - false. This is frankly pathetic and I won’t be renewing my subscription, hopefully someone who cares will do some justice to this completely ridiculous fumbling and vague handling of the term “TV” - television, as in NOT A PHONE. At best they’ll fix it because people had to complain, at worst WWE will have to stay with them and they’ll find some other way to be completely dysfunctional with an appropriate requisite.

I love The Office. And Parks & Rec. But there are just way too many steaming services now and paying for all of them to watch one or two shows is just ridiculous. So I’m not paying for this one. The free content on Peacock is abundant, but it’s mostly shows that no one wants to watch or that you can watch for free on the Hallmark Channel or wherever they now show Murder She Wrote. Not exactly cutting edge programming. If this was an excellent app, I might have been interested. But it is clunky to operate, not very intuitive, and slow. So. Slow. It can take 5+ minutes to search for, find, and start playing a show. All while I’m watching those little rainbow dots go in circles. And the app freezes and crashes a lot. Not usually during a show, but definitely a lot while navigating the app and searching. We have super fast internet (more than a gig in speed to our house) and have no problem getting Netflix or Prime to load fast. Even CBS All Access is faster. Personally, I hope we will soon see consolidation in this space so we can see our favorite shows without having to subscribe to a dozen different services. And as those apps compete against each other, Peacock will not be a winner. NBC, you gave it a try. Now I hope you will license your best shows to Netflix and let us watch while you earn royalties for doing nothing. more

I tried to reactivate my premium plus subscription through my phone in the play store under the subscription section where it was showing that I'd previously canceled on the 6th. While it was successful in charging me, neither my yahoo account nor Gmail is showing that any subscription was made. When I contacted for help, I was told to go through Google assistance, where I was told it was the job of peacock's developer to fix this issue since all connections in my end were fine. I won't be back. more

This app totally sucks. I bought a new tablet just to use this app because it was super slow and glitchy on my old one. Same problems with the new tablet. I have a hard time downloading content consistently. I'll have one or 2 things qued to download and the app will restart itself. Or while I'm downloading and searching through shows I can't scroll to fast because the app will restart. Absolute garbage. more

The app frequently shows it's not connected to the internet. This is not an issue with any other app. While watching series, it has a tendency to lose progress of where you're at in the episode, forcing you to watch commercials as you fast forward through. Charging extra to simply have access to certain content while still forcing commercials is distasteful, and greedy. more

This app is a complete cash grab. They decided to split up Premier League coverage between Peacock and NBCSN. So now you need two different subscriptions to watch games. To make it worse, you can’t stream from your iPad or iPhone to your television. It’s just completely baffling to me why they’re making it harder to watch these games. I remember being so pleased with NBCSN’s coverage of the premier league when they first started a few years ago. Now, I can’t wait for another network to pick up the deal. The constant division of all these apps you need just to watch your games/shows is exhausting for the consumer. I’m sure in a few years NBC will come out with yet another app requiring another monthly subscription. “Download Peacock 1 to watch the first half of this soccer game, and make sure to download Peacock 2 to watch the second half!!! Each one is only $7.99/month!!! Post match coverage will be on NBCSN Gold, so make sure you’re subscribed to that as well, which is on top of your subscription to NBC Sports!” Meanwhile NBC is wondering why people pirate everything online. I know I’m just a lowly consumer, but I think if you make it easier to watch what we want, that’s how you gain customer loyalty. NBC is doing the opposite of this. Thanks NBC. Very cool. more
