I learned about Dropout through YouTube and immediately got hooked once I found out that dropout has an actual streaming platform and that is cheaper than almost any other streaming platform out there I had to get it. There are no ads/commercials, and there's pretty much an endless supply of media. The smallest downside is occasionally when you want to continue something you were watching early it does not pop up under the "resume" panel or the "resume" panel shows something that you finished.
Reviews for Dropout
By far my favorite streaming service, but my issues lie with the app itself. My "Continue Watching" never shows the most recent, sometimes even 3-4 episodes back will be shown even if I've completed them. Also, watching from my phone and then watching on my TV will do a similar thing, time stamps do not match up. It's definitely a syncing issue- it'd be a perfect rating if the UI was a little cleaner and seamless between viewing experiences. P.S: Samsung TVs are VERY laggy when streaming. :/
The content is fantastic. it would be so nice if there was a TV app for the PlayStation 5. I also wish there was podcast versions of the dimension 20 content because I listen to the stuff a lot. that being said, the background audio feature does work really well. overall super pleased with the app. it just would be nice to have a few more options for where and how I watch or listen.
I have only used the app a little since getting my subscription, but my experience thus far has been excellent. My older Samsung TV doesn't have access to the TV app, but I have a Chromecast that I am able to use to stream it from my phone to the TV. The picture quality and load times are really quick, and I really appreciate that the app is cleanly designed, and not bogged down by a ton of extra features.
as a content platform, Dropout has some of the best shows currently being made on the internet. Period. As an -app- however, it's not great. Pretty bare bones, and going through menus doesn't always feel very intuitive. Sometimes when I've watched an episode of something all the way through it insists that I haven't , so it's what comes up whenever I press resume. Still, the only reason why it's not getting 5 stars is because the app's just a little jank. The content itself is amazing.
Literally the only subscription I've ever had, and if the ship sails straight, Ill simply stay aboard. Haha. I've nothing but praise for the crews, the talent, the production value, the camaraderie, the variety, the inclusion, the price. All around amazing app and service. My singular gripe is that sometimes the "resume" bar won't update, but the rest of app is so easy to navigate it almost doesn't matter.
I love the content and the ability to download the content, so I dont use up mobile data. (I know, crazy how, in 2025, I don't have unlimited data) The only thing I struggle with is the app not always pulling up my most recent episodes watched so I have to go searching for them everytime I want to continue watching content. Everything else is fantastic!
Adding show tabs to the download section and having the downloaded episodes sorted by those tabs would make a good experience really great!! As far as the content goes, 10/10!!! I hate to leave less than a 5 star review but the app needs work as far as downloads go. The fact that I can download shows is great but they become so jumbled and disorganized in the download menu if you try to download many different shows. I have to use this feature as my wifi and signal are precarious all the time :(
It started out as some funny haha compilation clips on YouTube recommend to me. Then I watched the whole first season of fantasy high for free on there. But it wasn't enough! I needed more! MORE! So I downloaded the app and got a subscription. You should too, I guess, if you want your life to be taken over by a bunch of silly little guys that always say "Yes and" and it always be the funniest thing you've ever seen/heard.
The video content is flawless! ...But the app is not. If for any reason the stream is interrupted, it will forget your place in the video and start it from the beginning! Some of these videos are hours long, so finding your place again is a nightmare. The website and app also will not agree on how far you got into a video, so switching between them hurts. We need to be able to mark the videos as watched too - sometimes it kicks you back to the same video over and over because there's 1% left.
