### 4/5 — I love TUBI

*2026-08-23, version 10.33.0*

I love Tubi but i wish it had more anime in dub like one piece or full metal alchemist

### 4/5 — Lots of ads

*2026-08-23, version 10.33.0*

Lots of ads

### 4/5 — Love it hate it

*2026-08-23, version 10.33.0*

Repetitive commercials every break? Mix it up the same ones should not repeat during an episode.

### 3/5 — Having to redownload when app freezes

*2026-08-23, version 10.33.0*

See above

### 3/5 — Please fix

*2026-08-22, version 10.33.0*

Newest update will not allow me to use Tubi on the phone. A scene flashes twice, then I receive error code 0900-1018.

### 3/5 — Honestly 5 star app but…

*2026-08-21, version 10.33.0*

The selection of old movies in this app can’t be beat. The only problem is that soooo many older movies with subtitles are edited so poorly to make them letterbox that they constantly cut off lines of dialogue and is pretty disappointing because it makes tons of their movies unwatchable

### 2/5 — Opening Bug

*2026-08-21, version 10.33.0*

Once a day on the first time opening the app it begins the splash screen and force closes

And why is there SO MUCH AI SLOP on this platform? So much. A lot of these movies are just garbage AI. It’s disgusting.

### 5/5 — If I could rate more stars I would

*2026-08-21, version 10.33.0*

hollywood ruined movies, Tubi lets me watch all the best movies of the 90’s and 2000’s

### 5/5 — TUBI IS GREAT!!

*2026-08-21, version 10.33.0*

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-21, version 10.33.0*

### 5/5 — Great nostalgia binges,

*2026-08-20, version 10.33.0*

So many awesome series from back in the day, & some fascinating docos too! A very worthwhile app 💫⭐️

### 4/5 — Buffering, freezing, error codes 10.33.0 sucks

*2026-08-20, version 10.33.0*

Version 10.33.0 the recent update sucks even more. It was working fine and then you guys updated and it sucks  again. All the videos still buffering the whole time. Whoever works on this app needs to fix this issue now!!! I am so frustrated with you guys. This is a free app and I’m having more trouble with this than any other app. Just do an update and fix the buffering ASAP!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Anthony Falzone

*2026-08-20, version 10.33.0*

### 5/5 — Thanks for reducing slots game ads!

*2026-08-19, version 10.33.0*

This used to be my favorite free video streaming app… huge library with some ads. No big deal. Canceled my Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Paramount, & Shudder and just watched Tubi… for years now.

Then this year something happened. 90% of the ads, or more, are for casino slot apps. Over and and over and over. I saw so many slot machine app ads eventually i figured “what the hell, I’ll download one and spin during commmercials since I’m force to watch it anyway, who knows maybe I’ll win”

I never really gambled before this. I maybe buy 1 or two lottery tickets a year. But soon i found myself downloading every single gambling app I see a commercial for. I was no longer watching tv shows and movies on Tubi, I was just playing it in the background while i played slot machine apps

Everytime i would near the minimum amount to withdraw, my luck would sour and I’d lose everything in the blink of an eye.

I decided after a month of this that the apps were all rigged and would probably never let most people win just like at Casinos.

But I was hooked on chasing that jackpot now, and turned to other apps like Kalshi and Polymarket where I’ve mad much more success, but that’s besides the point.

The point is that these nonstop gambling ads are dangerous, I went from someone who rarely gambles to someone with a gambling addiction in one month, and I don’t just blame the gambling apps themselves…
 
I also blame the politicians and companies like Tubi that allow these gambling app companies to just brainwash people into becoming gambling addicts by showing them 5 back to back gambling app ads every 20 min every time they watch a 90 min movie.

It’s completely immoral and irresponsible. I don’t have a problem with gambling itself, I have a problem with the way it’s being promoted.

That being said, I will be sadly be deleting Tubi and not coming back until this practice of nonstop gambling ads ends. Deuces…

*update*

A few months after I placed this review, I gave Tubi another try and am pleased to say that have fixed the issue. Now only 10-20% of the ads are for slots games.
I can deal with that. 5 stars!

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2026-08-23, version 10.33.0*

Can’t watch some Tv shows anymore due to bugs. Star Trek series won’t play properly this week.

### 1/5 — Stupid

I put 11 and it won’t let me watch ghost house bc it’s scary like boy please and the anime stinks I can’t watch anything until tm like wth I might be done with Tubi at this point

### 1/5 — Noooooo

*2026-08-22, version 10.33.0*

I don’t like it.

### 1/5 — Nothing works as of 5/23/26

*2026-08-22, version 10.33.0*

8/20/26
Still doesn’t work with full bars or on full WiFi.

When it works it’s great. But it will randomly just not load movies when I’m on WiFi, when I have full bars, sometimes specific movies won’t play, sometimes no movies will play. Ya never know. 85% of the time it works though.

***UPDATE***
5/22/26
Not sure what the deal is but it’s extremely rare for me to be able to play a movie on here. Full bars of service and still just the wheel of death spinning for 5 minutes before I’m over it and use another app. Use to be great. Became ok. Now it’s intolerable and definitely not worth it.

### 1/5 — If you love watching commercials, this app is definitely for you

*2026-08-20, version 10.33.0*

If you like watching movies and TV shows, this app is definitely NOT for you.

### 1/5 — Let us watch it

### 1/5 — Trashy Tubi

*2026-08-18, version 10.32.1*

Worst streaming platform with the best movies. They had all “The Final Destination” movies and not one time would they play. It wasn’t my WiFi. It wasn’t my 5G. It’s the trashy platform. Don’t even bother downloading it.

### 1/5 — Hacked App

*2026-08-18, version 10.32.1*
