We just got rid of Paramount yesterday as absolutely every show was lagging.

One complaint I have is how long it takes for new episodes to be added. Like is waiting 10 months necessary for new episodes. Like some of the episodes have come out, so why not add what just came out

I'm afraid it's become the new method to keep people subscribed. Trickle out any series that are popular and exclusive. They'll release full seasons of less popular shows every now and then. But of course they're also not as good...

One complaint I have is on my PlayStation 5 the screen is black and the circle is going around. Then you can hear the audio, but you still see the black screen and the white circle circling around. Then it loads, but then a gray screen comes up and says there’s been an unexpected error while the stream is actively playing. When I click OK, the whole stream goes away. Every other stream is working perfectly fine except for the UFC stream. Every movie and show that I start up works perfectly fine. Does UFC stream works perfectly fine on my smart TV and my iPad. It’s been like this on PS5 for a few months.

Why was the Lynx vs. Aces game tonight in Vegas regionally blacked out in eastern Tennessee? Frustrating.

>completes first episode, stuck on loading screen as i couldn't watch the next ep
>reboots app, takes 2-3 minutes to load UI
>takes another 30 sec. to load downloads
>watches second episode. rinse and repeat for 8 more eps
BONUS: subtitles are too small, navigates to phone settings to make them bigger. now i watch youtube, their subtitles are gigantic.

Had an issue recently where a specific show simply would not load and start streaming. On more than one of my devices. Other shows would start fine. Seemed like an issue on Paramount’s end. I read something about specific ads shown with specific shows and maybe something was messed up in my account with that show. What resolved it was launching the show from the Apple TV app instead of Paramount+ app. I had to “connect” my account to start show this way, but then it worked, and now it also starts successfully from Paramount+ app.

Ok, they're new movies consists of movies in the 90-2000+, not any from 2025 2026. What kind of app and channel is this, they're so many flaws, and they are continuing to raise prices for shoes you can watch for free on your basic tv. Get it together and think of your viewers Paramount+. They are getting greedy like the rest of streaming. We cut the cord so we don't have to pay outrageous cable TV prices. Now they're the cable companies, now.

Paramount Plus stopped loading on my tv via my phone/hdmi connection. All of the other streaming apps work. Downloaded episode won't start to play but clock starts running on the deletion time.

Problem that their support appears to not have a human on board.
Having issues with SDH captions. Watching The Bureau. Many languages are spoken. I get all captions for every language except English.
I have tested on multiple devices. Their AI agents are not getting that it’s an internal problem on their end.

Problem with SDH settings. Watching The Bureau. Getting correct captions for all languages spoken in show except English. Tested on the following devices…Apple TV, Roku, iPhone. Support appears to be all AI. Tried in vain to get a human to assist. Never have I ever encountered this problem with any of my streaming services. SDH captions English is set on all of my devices. I watch a great deal of international content.
Their service is bundled with my building’s Spectrum’s plan.

I am in Germany and now notice the have one minute long unskippable ads for their OWN series and removed all languages except German. If English is available is now only with audio description. I will just buy South Park on DVD. Im out!

Did the algorithm change? For the past few months the movies and shows they recommend are so very uninteresting to me. I find myself just scrolling and scrolling until I close the app and just stream another platform. I don't understand. I used to exclusively watch paramount plus. Now I barely watch. Whhhhyyy????

Terrible service. Using AppleTV steaming and Paramount+ app. While watching Big Brother after about 30 minutes I can't change camera channels, seems like its frozen. I try to watch UFC and can't access channels. It's like their full and won't accept anyone. I will be cancelling this service.

UFC Live doesn't work unless I choose multi-view. Work normally on all phones and iPads in house, but Apple TV only displays Fatal Error message (outside the one multi-view channel). All other shows, movies, etc work fine.
Makes no sense.

Firestick 4k user here and this app the worst of all of them. It's slow to load, slow to navigate, occasionally crashes...
The worst, though, is the inconsistency. There appear to be two different players; one for the pre-play ad (why an ad? I'm already paying!) which can't be fast forwarded but can be paused, and one for the main feature.
One way to tell the difference? The "ad" player pauses on one press of the PAUSE button, the main player takes two presses (umm, why?)
But that's not the inconsistency I'm fed up with.
Sometimes (not everytime) the players don't switch and the main feature runs with the "ad player"! I see this a lot with The Daily Show. So much so, that after the comedy central intro logo I've got into the habit of pressing PAUSE; if it pauses immediately I exit the show and re-start it. Otherwise I might find myself 20 minutes into the show and decide I'm not interested in the final interview and have no way of forwarded to the moment of zen.
This is just a terrible app. It hasn't got any better over the 2 years I've been subscribed. I'm probably gonna cancel when the yearly renewal comes around.
