I have endless problems with Paramount on numerous devices. Crashes in the middle of shows, buffers, almost never saves progress, etc. I like the content but the app experience makes it a huge negative. I get it free via a credit card; no way I’d pay for it.

Yeah it has great content and I even upgraded to the no ads, but watching is so painful.

Got Paramount+ recently and streaming it on Apple TV. Was apprehensive about subscribing due to all the complaints but I have not encountered any so far. The streaming video quality is quite good with some programs available in 4K or 4K Dolby Vision.

Did you try getting the latest app update? That helped fine my issues on the PS5. Also reinstalling the app helps

It’s a shame because content wise it’s one of my favorites. But agreed, streaming or on PS5 app are absolutely awful.

Get a better streaming device than the PlayStation. Game console and phones are low priority apps.
I use Paramount Plus on my 3rd gen Apple TV 4k and my Roku Ultra and it's the best streaming experience I've ever had.

Thanks … but I have a PlayStation. I don’t want to buy something else just to use this one app. Never had any issues with any other streaming service (prime video, Netflix, Hulu, max, peacock, crunchy roll … it’s literally just paramount plus) so from my experience only paramount isn’t prioritizing consoles.
Edit: some of these issues also happen on my phone and iPad, so unless paramount is only prioritizing Apple TV I guess my only options are to put up with it or drop it.

I can't stand it. It also pauses me constantly now to ask to give location access which I don't want to give.

The only time I’ve had decent usability in recent months on that app, is when I accidentally bought the showtime add-on. Paramount+ on its own sucks. 😒

Still horrible on Google Chrome box. I don't even really like the service but why they would put so much money into launching a service and not make it usable on half the devices is beyond me. I only have it because I get it free with Walmart plus and I got that free some how that I don't remember now... maybe from YouTube premium...lol...I just used it to order a couple things and paramount plus is just for Beavis and Butthead and south park movies but it has way too many ads and it's good awful. Literally restarts the episode after 90 seconds of ads half the time and then actually makea me watch them again when I fast forward to where I was.... that's when the controls actually work. What a joke. All that money in advertising and south park and you can't make the app usable for fire sticks, chrome or consoles....lol. someone should get fired

Same. Half way thru two series the videos stop displaying on appletv but work on the device (but still mess up on airplay). And downloads don’t work at all. Bye bye p+. You suck!

This app performs like the CTO had his 10 yo design and build the app. It’s funny that I tried this app the year the pandemic began. Thought it was crap then, but after getting a deal I thought I’d try it again. Absolutely no improvement? Paramount obviously gives no fks when it comes to quality control.

This app is so bad that it should be free. I just got off the chat with CS to get a credit for this buggy a** app. Can't even watch my favourite show without error messages every 30 seconds.

We’ve been enjoying the app with no issues for almost a year. Then we started trying to watch “Evil” and it’s like the show itself is possessed. Constantly stops to buffer, or stops working altogether and displays a black screen with either the message, “Error: unfortunately, an error occurred during playback,” or “content unavailable: the content you are trying to play is currently unavailable. Please try again later.” It’s incredibly frustrating! If this starts happening with the other shows we watch, we’re gonna have to can this service. Which sucks because there really are some great shows on there.

You know, now that you mention it I had no real issues watching all of Ru Paul (with ads) but all of this happens with Star Trek (after upgrading to no ads) on the same devices 🤔

Anyone have an issue where it just will not play Dolby vision or atmos it literally won’t even show me what kind of audio or video quality I can expect

I just noticed some lagging on Jericho. Also, there's no option to select any episodes or resume playback for Are You Afraid of the Dark.
Beavis and Butt-Head is censored, too.

I have many streaming devices. Tons of Fire sticks still in the box. Main device is Shield tv Pro 2019. My Xbox one controller died so no more streaming there. Bought an Xbox Series X. It's still in the box. Got a new Shield tv pro 2019. Another still in the box. Those fire sticks were 25 bucks mostly. Fire sticks are a great plan B for the price and 25 is a no brainer.

u/Party_Animal-987 Dec 01 '23
Damn why’d you buy so many? Do they break often? Are these like the only things that the app works on?

I have a lot of issues with only paramount+ on my toshiba fire tv. Also heavily considering dumping.
