Bunch of scammers.

Why are shows on paramount not on paramount plus. U pay for paramount plus. So why not have full content like season 5 Yellowstone. This is why people just decide not to pay for this crap and just download what they want off the internet if you know what I mean. But instead these people are sheisty greedy jerk offs Why have two different paramount apps that don’t share same content. Scammers. Deleted my subscription in 3 days of purchase. Absolutely awful. So I received a response from developer. All they said was Yellowstone is on peacock. This still doesn’t answer why paramount and paramount plus have different line ups. It’s just plain stupid unless you try to maximize profits at customer expense. All in all I cancelled my subscription. Let’s see. Yellowstone is produced by paramount but not shown on paramount. Just plain stupid. But that is just one of many ridiculous things about paramount. But don’t worry. You can download all of the Yellowstone seasons including new episodes and the spin offs online for free. Just use utorrent and a vpn. Enjoy. Maybe than these companies will stop scamming users

Response from developer

Hello, We're sorry for the confusion. Season 5 Part 1 of Yellowstone (8 episodes) is currently streaming on PeacockTV only. It is also available for purchase from streaming video stores. We hope this info helps.

Make up your mind

What a way to confuse the older generation with the variety of apps all showing the same content. CBS, Paramount (wo the plus) paramount (with the plus), all show the same content. Paramount wo the plus, is for you to log in with your TV provider. Paramount with the plus is your paid monthly subscription and CBS, well I’m not sure. But whatever it is has completely confused the boomer generation or the children of the boomer generation that is trying to help them navigate this world of tv streaming. It’s maddening!! “No it’s paramount + you pay for and watch your shows on.” “No it was paramount wo the plus, before that it was CBS.” Good lord!! Just make an app that people can log in. If you’re a paying subscriber then have content unlocked. If you’re not a paying subscriber then lock most recent content. Why the need for all the various apps and changing their names to this and that? One app, make it easier to navigate. It’s ridiculous! CBS entity is probably the most confusing of all the major network apps. Is that about corporate not agreeing on a system so let’s make everyone happy? Has nothing to do with the paying customers. Very annoying.

Fix your apps!

What good is it paying for the service if I can’t watch any of their shows. You all need to get your act together. I’m using your latest version of the app you released four days ago and it cant even do something as so simple as casting it to my Chromecast. Oh, but it works really well at showing you 7 advertisements! Your Apple TV app is just as bad. P.S. It’s not my network or device. I’m capable of streaming other internet based streaming services just fine.

Dear Paramount Network Developer,

I know the difference between Paramount+ and Paramount Network. If I had an issue with the Paramount+ app I would have written a review on that app. It’s pointless to purchase Paramount+ when you don’t have any of the five seasons of Yellowstone on there. I’m required to login with my network provider on the Paramount Network app (which I am) to watch season 5 of Yellowstone. My original review and complaint still stands with the original Paramount Network app. Please correct those issues that have clearly plagued this app for numerous years.

The HDMI connection is also not available for any content. If you still experience an error, please contact us and include a brief description of the issue

Beware

Do not subscribe to Paramount plus or Paramount Network. Paramount apps are disgraceful frauds. I paid for Paramount Plus for four seasons of Yellowstone and when they couldn’t produce anything worth watching they just created Paramount Network prior to the 5th season of Yellowstone to hold the continuation of the series hostage so you had to pay for a new streaming service. It was bad enough to continue paying for a deadbeat service while waiting for the new season but when the new season came out you could no longer get it on Paramount Plus where it sucked you in for four seasons. Kevin Costner and the rest of the cast should be ashamed of filming for these blood suckers. Shameful!!!!

This channel is going to lose what they have gained

When I typed in this app, as it pulled up,I saw a review about this company so I read it,
Even though I think the reviewer either wrote the review on the wrong app, or misquoted which Paramount she was referring to.
In response to her app, the developer"chose to "rudely" tell the person that they were reviewing the wrong channel,Paramount Plus for Paramount! I could probably do a quick run down of the personality of this company's responder.
In fact,I would FIRE that person as soon as I read there response,as it was cold hearted, cruel and unreasonable.
This company thinks they have hit the jackpot with their Yellowstone show series.
Personally, the only way I want to watch it, is through Vidangel, that takes all of the vulgar, profane language out of it.
Taylor Sheridan thinks he has the world by the tail as does the channel that shows his series. He obviously has no morals, and must of been brought up in a family of ill repute!
Pride comes before the Fall and both of the named above will fall un times to come!

Do Not Subscribe

What a waste of money. The app is clunky, basic functions that are in place with every other streaming service are not in place here. Fast forward is a joke, and that should be a no brainer. It isn’t easy to go to the next episode, the app does not remember which episodes you’ve watched. Let alone where you let off on each episode. Oh and the utter lack of content.

Paramount, you may say this doesn’t apply to the app. IT IS ALL PARAMOUNT. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. $10 should be considered robbery for the price. I just downloaded the app to write a review in as many places possible. Either fix your crap, or put it out for free. Because at this point; it should be.

Only HBO app is worse

Tons of commercials. If I’m paying to stream, I shouldn’t have to see commercials. If I want to stream free (Tubi, Pluto), commercials are expected and part of the deal. But I’m paying to watch commercials?!? And I have to watch those commercials a lot- missed something and have to go back 10 seconds? = commercials again. App freezes and you have to restart your show?= that’s right, start the commercials all over again. Switching shows? = commercial time again. Finish an episode? Commercials. Start the next episode? Watch the same 3 minutes of commercials again, after seeing 10 seconds of the show.
Absolute garbage streaming service.

Absolute worst streaming app

So disappointing. I’ve never seen more commercials tied to watching content. You get about 2 1/2+ minutes of commercials per every 10 minutes of content. You cannot rewind or fast forward through the content without triggering another round of commercials. If you go back to a show or series after stopping it, the app doesn’t work. You must delete it from your device, re-download it and re-sign in with your tv service credentials. There is absolutely no functionality to this app. Paramount need to shut it down and move the content to the Paramount+ app, which has its own set of problems but is light years ahead of this garbage.

First ever review that’s how much I hate it

This app is an absolute garbage fire. I only tolerate it to feed my addiction to Yellowstone, but the appeal dwindles with every use of this nightmare app. Every other streaming app connects easily to my Chromecast, but not this one, and if I try to select “Nearby device” instead, the app crashes entirely. Even when the casting does work, why on God’s green earth does my ability to cast disappear when the commercials come on? It never ever knows where I’ve left off watching. I can never get it to reconnect to my TV after idling for a period of time, leaving me without control of what’s playing on my TV - I usually have to just give up and simply turn my TV off entirely for the night. For God’s sake, Paramount, if you can afford Kevin Costner, you can afford halfway decent IT. Get your stuff together.

Nothing but ads, buffering and glitches

I never write reviews, but this app is so bad that it warrants one. First, it makes no sense that there are two separate Paramount apps. Paramount+ isn’t any better since it ruined the end of the Chiefs/Bills game last week with the constant freezing.

I downloaded this one so I could watch Season 4 of Yellowstone since it’s not available on Peacock. Literally couldn’t make it through the first episode! The ads are ridiculously long and halfway through the show it just kept buffering during the ads and would restart after a couple minutes. I’d fast forward to where I left off and the same thing keeps happening.

No idea how a company could put out a garbage product like this and the people responsible for it could still have a job.

Yikes. It’s worse than you think.

All I wanted to do was watch some tv shows. Firstly, they already ask you to pay and then have the longest commercial breaks known to the world. If I’m paying (which I’m not anymore) then at least cut down on the commercials a bit. Also, the app cuts out and freezes more times than not. Then you have to back out of the app, then go back in, and you can’t even resume your show from where you left off, it makes you start from the beginning and watch all of their stupid commercials again. Also, if you turn in closed captioning, it won’t stay on for the next episode. You have to turn it in again every new episode. This app is just the worst. Whatever is on paramount I’m sure you can find somewhere else on the internet. Please, go there instead and save yourself from the frustration that inevitably comes with interacting with this app.

Release

I really like the app and downloaded it to watch Yellowstone but I am so confused about timing. The series comes out every Sunday 8/7 C but it doesn’t appear on the app until the next morning. Is this just a problem occurring on my end or is there an issue with the app. Paramount+ on the other hand works amazing when it comes to new shows like 1883 because they release on time. Why doesn’t this occur with Paramount Network when it comes to Yellowstone?

Extremely Frustrated

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.

Paramount+ and the Paramount Network app are different services. If you are interested in the new Paramount+ subscription service, please visit https://help.paramountplus.com/s/contact-us. The Paramount Network app is free to download, with limited video available without a login; you can view additional content by signing in with your TV provider.

Terrible “Streaming”

The family and I were so excited to watch the new season of Yellowstone (which we found out was only available on Paramount Network). Once we got logged in with our cable provider account the show has been terribly interrupted by multiple freezes and a ridiculous ratio of actual show time to commercials. What a shame to solidify the new season solely to a terrible “provider”. Please don’t respond to my review with a meaningless jumble of “apologies”. Fix your problem and quit trying to make more money off of hardworking people already paying for multiple streaming services and cable networks to watch shows they are interested in.

Can’t even watch the shows

If you want to watch full episodes of a show this is not the app for you, especially if you cast to your tv. All I do is watch ads for 30 minutes while trying over and over to get an episode to play without it closing out or skipping to the next episode while in the middle of the previous one. If you like only watching ads and having errors pop up and enjoy an app that can’t even keep track of what episodes you’ve watched or even what shows you’ve watched then this is a good app for you. This app is so frustrating I have literally never used an app that is this bad.

It works, but with bugs

I think the app is very easy to use, and it’s very intuitive to get something streaming. I honestly love how clean it is, but I have two beefs that honestly prevent me from using it more.

1. My biggest annoyance is the fact that every time I watch something (unless I log out and log back in) it will tell me the content is unavailable at that moment. Aka I have to log in and out every single time I use the app. Drives me crazy.

2. I stream this on to my chrome cast almost every time I use the app. When I get the episode of whatever I’m playing on my phone up and running, it requires me to watch all 4 ads BEFORE I can put it on my chromecast. The button to cast is just not on my phone while the initial ads are playing. The problem this creates is that once the ads are complete and I click ‘cast’ - the ads start over. So by the time I am watching the actual show I’ve watched between 6-8 ads.

I never leave reviews, but if these two things were fixed I would easy make it a 5/5 rating. I don’t have any of these problems when I use any other app that will cast to my TV/chromecast. Please fix this -

Awful with Chromecast and limited selection of episodes

I only wanted this app to watch Ink Master. First of all if you chromecast BEFORE making a selection the app will just stop working, it’ll go into a sort of screenshot mode where anything you click is unresponsive. Second of all the ads for this app don’t make sense, they’re nonstop and anytime you make a little adjustment they make you watch ads. Third and worst of all is there are missing episodes??? Somehow if you click on certain seasons of Ink Master they’re missing episodes and there’s no way to access them. If you go to paramount network on a laptop they’re there but they’re not on the mobile app. Incredibly frustrating app, clearly needs a lot of work. Very disappointed and tired of trying to make it work.

EDIT #1
LOL I just read through the reviews and had to change my rating from 2 stars to 1 Star. A handful of people have had the same issue I’m having except they wrote their review TWO YEARS AGO. So if it’s still hasn’t been fixed it never will. What a pathetic development team. I don’t even want them to respond with their fake “eMail oUr trOubLeshOot tEam fOr heLp”. I don’t want to hear it. Absolutely pathetic. Don’t waste your time trying to navigate this app.

Worse streaming app I’ve ever used.

The app won’t go into landscape mode on my iPad until a show is playing. Shows that I’ve been watching don’t come up on the home page when I open the app. I have to search them every time. If I’m not on season 1, it still opens on season 1 and I have to go in and manually change it to the season I’m on. Both of the shows that I’ve tried to watch only have the odd numbered episodes for each season, but if I watch the episode 3 (for example), at the end of the episode I’ll get a pop up that says “next episode starts in 30 seconds” and it’ll go to episode 4. But if I don’t finish episode 4 before closing the app, I have to go back into episode 3, fast forward to the end of the episode, and then click “next episode” to get back to episode 4. It’s ridiculous. Also, if I pause the show, sometimes the play button won’t go off the screen, and the timing bar sticks to the same spot. It’s incredibly annoying.

This is the worst streaming app I’ve ever used.

Clunky and closes itself constantly!

I have used multiple streaming services and this is by far the worst. One you have to watch 2 minutes of ads at each commercial break when you have already paid for the service. Two the app stops randomly stops working. I have been trying to watch one episode for more than a day now and I lost count how many times it quit after ten. Sometimes it will be fine for a few episodes and then sometimes it quits every 30 to 60 seconds. It is extremely frustrating! This has happened with multiple different episodes. Three when it quits and you log back in it will not be at the same place in the episode or it will go back to the beginning. When you try to get back to the place you were it will either keep resetting to the beginning or quits again. Overall extremely frustrating and a horrible app.

Like the dedicated app, but glitchy

I like that I can stream lots of Paramount shows on my Apple TV or iPad. They maintain most of their current shows including past seasons which is cool if you want to binge.
My biggest issue is the glitches that I encounter pretty regularly. Videos will just randomly stop playing and a message will display that the video is not available. Sometimes I can watch entire seasons without this glitch and others it happens on EVERY episode. It can play for 5 minutes or an hour then suddenly the video just cuts out! If I try to replay it usually only works for a minute or 2 (if at all) and then does the same thing. So frustrating!!!!
I keep updating the app and hoping but it still happens. I really hope they can fix this bug soon!
