Because mainstream media never reports anything about positive about the republicans! Love the new layout. However, in this last update, you messed up my ability to scroll up and down by just sliding up and down on my screen very inconvenient. Maybe when you fix it, I’ll change my rating. ### 2/5 — Meh *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* Good content but man it’s buggy. Performance is inconsistent at best. ### 4/5 — 15.23.0 update *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* it will not cast nothing to my chrome cast anymore with this update. i done all the troubleshooting Pluto Tv FAQ recommended and still nothing. i hope it gets fixed soon ### 4/5 — Great App, One Caveat *2026-08-22, version 15.23.0* Overall, awesome selection of movies and TV shows to pick from. Yes, there are ads, but the app is free, and that’s fine by me. I only wish I could delete stuff out of my “continue watching” section. If I can, I haven’t figured out how. I had to skip every 15 seconds in the last twenty minutes of a movie I wasn’t interested in, to show the app I finished it, and only then did it remove itself from my “continue watching” list. ### 2/5 — casting *2026-08-22, version 15.23.0* just noticed the casting ain't working anymore.. I was happy when it started working.. since the last update.. all gone... very disappointing.. hope this can be fixed soon!!! ### 2/5 — August 22, 2026. Terrible update. *2026-08-22, version 15.23.0* Lots of bugs. Can’t change tv channels on the screen when a commercial comes on. Can’t scroll to the left on the channel guide to see which show is next. Ugh. ### 2/5 — Swipe no longer works *2026-08-22, version 15.23.0* In fullscreen mode, you used to be able to swipe up and down to change channels in live TV. This no longer works. You have to turn your phone to portrait, then change channels, then go back to landscape. Whoever decided that removing this capability was a good idea destroyed the usability of this app. ### 2/5 — Chromecast *2026-08-22, version 15.23.0* Since the update you can no longer stream to chromecast. ### 2/5 — Ver 15.23 *2026-08-21, version 15.23.0* The latest update seems to have gone backwards. The channels take longer to start, used to be able to move seamlessly between channels (can’t now), used to show ad countdown,used to do screen in screen when searching for another channel, and the favorites are different order. Just seems slow and annoying to use now and unable to swipe up/down between channels. ### 2/5 — PlutoTV *2026-08-21, version 15.23.0* PlutoTV is a great service but the new interface is terrible. I don’t like the look of it and it’s harder to find things. ### 2/5 — This was my go-to app *2026-08-21, version 15.23.0* …but after the last update, the swipe between channels feature is gone, and the app no longer takes me to the last live TV channel I watched before restart. Was this intentional? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Latest update RUINED PLUTO *2026-08-24, version 15.23.0* I want the old interface back! This one is not to my liking. And the mute button is gone. I am super angry😡 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* Pluto tv is a streaming service, so obviously, it should actually work. But it doesn’t, I tried multiple times to watch tv shows or movies inside and outside of my house but they play for five seconds and then it randomly starts buffering and skipping like 5 minutes at a time. I’ve checked my internet over and over again but that’s not the problem. The problem is that the makers of Pluto are incredibly lazy and don’t even care enough to make sure that their garbage streaming platform works. Until they fix this I am never using Pluto tv ever again ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* Star Trek TV series next generation won’t play properly. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* It jumps around randomly in the movie. Can’t get it to just play a movie front to back. ### 1/5 — it’s so bad *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* it’s so trashy idk if it’s my wifi or something(which i know it’s not) but it literally doesn’t play my movie or show, and it keeps lagging and not even letting me get a minute in without putting glitching. whether it’s the movie or the ad that it’s giving me, it keeps lagging and messing it up ### 1/5 — New update *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* The new Pluto update is bad layout is no good you lose some of the favorite that was saved and you can’t even save no more channels go back to the previous version ### 1/5 — RECENT UPDATE RUINED MY LIVE TV ON I-PAD *2026-08-22, version 15.23.0* After your recent update, my FAVORITES LIST ON LIVE TV DOES NOT WORK (THEY ARE SPREAD OUT AND NOT KEPT IN A FAVORITES LIST ANYMORE AT THE TOP) and I LOST ALMOST ALL OF THE FAVORITE CHANNELS THAT I HAD SAVED!!! This is RIDICULOUS!! FIX THIS ISSUE!!!! ### 1/5 — New UI Ruins EVERYTHING! *2026-08-22, version 15.23.0* I love y’all, Pluto, I really do. I pay for DirecTV and yet, I have Pluto on almost exclusively.. either on the TV or on my phone. My fiancé and I love watching Frasier and I Love Lucy and Andy Griffith on continuous loops.. for FREE! Truly, your service is amazing, and while I have been convalescing from several health issues it has been a great comfort to me. However.. the UI redesign is atrocious. I much preferred the old guide design, this new format is awful, especially on mobile devices. The biggest issue is being unable to swipe up and down to change channels… can’t do that anymore. Now I have to swivel the phone around, tap the interface, find the channel, and swivel it back around. (I use a MagSafe stand) There’s no longer a button to mute the sound. I can’t scroll across and find out which episodes in a series are next anymore. I can’t see information about the episode during an ad. It’s a mess, it’s just much more difficult to navigate and I miss the way it used to be… please change it back! We thank you so very much for existing and offering us our favorite shows. I never dreamed I’d get to see Frasier and Dr Quinn and Charles Ingalls every day like this. But can we go back to the OG format? Pretty please? 🙏🏻😘 ### 1/5 — Live tv guide is broken. *2026-08-21, version 15.23.0* Can’t fix the live tv guide. It’s showing the wrong titles of shows not on at the moment. Tried everything it said to fix it. Cleared everything. Deleted Pluto tv and Redownloaded Pluto many times. Still won’t fix it. Can’t find an update anywhere. Fix software option. No new update. After deleting and reinstalling many times the guide still doesn’t work and now it’s removed all the comedy tv shows. ### 1/5 — Can’t find my channels/ hate the new update *2026-08-21, version 15.23.0* What in the world were you thinking about when you changed the format? Can’t find any of my channels, the new update sucks Big Time. And if I could, I’d leave this platform with ZERO STARS. Because in my opinion that’s what you deserve. My go to, is now my not to. I’ll just check and see what TUBI, PEACOCK, and PLEX has to offer. This Sucks Big Time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pluto TV I absolutely love Pluto TV I’ve gradually cancelled out Netflix, Hulo, & all the big name *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* It’s the only tv I watch. Anyway In my opinion it’s the best tv out there. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* Amazing ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* Oh, so it’s very good. Just one problem it glitches. ### 5/5 — Great programming free *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* Love Pluto, great variety of movies and series on demand along with the channels. Only thing I would like to see changed it easier navigation. The app is a bit clumsy when using your TV remote. Seems to be geared more to iPad and phone streaming. All in all it’s a wonderful free streaming app. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* Good shows and good movies. A must to have app ### 5/5 — 90s kids will be very happy! *2026-08-23, version 15.23.0* 5 out of 5! ### 5/5 — Hey! *2026-08-22, version 15.23.0* I really love the app and the fact it’s free, I just wish there was movies I really like, it’s just not on here ❤️ ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-08-22, version 15.23.0* I love this app keep it ### 5/5 — Titanic *2026-08-22, version 15.23.0* Love the titanic you are the best ### 5/5 — Excelente alternativa *2026-08-21, version 15.23.0* Lo mejor que he aprendido este año --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
