| 2024-12-08 |  | | App needs to be updated/fixed. Have plenty of issues where things are not loading. Searching for movies/shows i know are on the cw but will not appear even after looking it up. Trying to click on a movie that's on the screen but then will proceed to a blank screen not even loading the movie up. |
| 2024-12-06 |  | | Couldn't do anything. Didn't give me a choice to login or have a subscription which is fine, but the second I opened a show, the ads played just fine and then it bugged out and wouldn't start the actual show. I tried this about 4 times and eventually it gave me an error and booted me from the app. I couldn't open it even after force closing the app twice. Despicable, you should do better so I can enjoy your shows. |
| 2024-11-27 |  | | This should be called the commercial watching app. They have more commercials than any other streaming service that I have. If something comes up and I have to close the app for a moment it makes me watch the same commercials all over again. The other streaming services that I use realize that those commercials have been watched and doesn't make you, watch them again. |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | Shows are great... but there are way too many ads and the ones they show are repeated over and over again!!! It's so annoying!! Makes you not even want to watch the shows ugh! I have this on my TV so I'm not experiencing the same problems other people are. Mine is just the ad issue! |
| 2024-11-11 |  | | Your app keeps malfunctioning when being run through my Roku Smart TV. I was trying to watch one of the episodes of Grimm. The app itself kept closing. And when I tried to continue watching the episode, I kept getting the error message, that it couldn't be played. I like the selection of shows and movies it has, but such is a moot point if the app itself doesn't work right. And now movies being shown as available, wind closing the app when you select these. Fix these issues, please. |
| 2024-11-02 |  | | I am currently not a happy camper! Whereas, once I was ecstatic. I have had the CW app on my phone for years. Even the short lived CW Seed. I have recently added to my tablet and now trying to add to laptop. Only to discover that it won't play on any device due to (Player Source Error).Troubleshooting gets me nowhere. I have changed nothing in the working parameters. So, whatever the bugs and fixes you made has knocked me off from watching the shows I care about and can't watch when they air. |
| 2024-10-17 |  | | literally unusable. I don't understand how companies whose entire product is streamable shows, can't make an app that works. The ad loads are an issue nearly every time. God forbid I pause in the middle of something and attempt to resume later. I just get caught in an endless stream of "continue/restart?" prompts that do nothing but prompt me again, regardless of what I push. Casting seems to work about 33% of the time. It has some shows I wanna see, but can't function enough to show me any. |
| 2024-10-16 |  | | This app is terrible. It doesn't remember what episode I'm on and throws me back 5 to 10 episodes on my "continue" tab. My option is to let every episode start, fast forward to the end, watch an ad or two, and repeat until I get to the episode I was on. This most recent time, it threw me back by 2 SEASONS!! app deleted. |
| 2024-10-10 |  | | The app needs to be improved so you can minimize it and your show will still run. Instead you have to search for it and you're running tasks. Also, I use Android and on an app like Paramount Plus, I can feel my whole screen just by pinching outward instead of having the stupid black border around the show. Please consider including this in your next release |
| 2024-10-02 |  | | Only reason I downloaded this was because of NXT. Frequent ads and their placement is ridiculous. (Have your ads where you have the commercials on the tv broadcast. Don't cut to an ad during a promo or backstage segment. It's irritating.) It'll still take more than 2 hours to watch 1 hour and 26 min. of wrestling. Also, where are all the old episodes of NXT? I know it's early but they're not on Peacock anymore. Can't expect too much from a free app, I guess. |
