If I could give Hulu ZERO STARS I would. Hulu for Android app keeps dropping to the home screen of my Sony Bravia smart tv. I tried deleting the app, reinstalling, rebooting the TV, checked for updates, even rebooted my internet. Nothing works. For the past two hours I have been trying to watch a 36 minute episode of my soap. this has been maddening frustrating and ridiculous!!!!!!This app sucks!!!!
Reviews for Hulu for Android TV
Just cancelled my Hulu subscription. I'm sure everyone got the price increase notice. I feel if they want more money they need to fix the worst app on the Google play store or go out of business. Unbelievable they want more money. This is the only app that constantly freezes almost impossible to watch anything stop and go. Hulu must scrap this app and a complete over haul needs to be done. If I were in charge of their technical department I would fire all of them.
I didn't take the rating seriously at first but after login it won't load any titles. The Android phone application works well, but they clearly haven't put any effort into the Android TV application. Use Disney+ to watch Hulu content if you have a bundle. Dealing with this app isn't worth the higher stream quality.
I pay for the ad free experience and in general, I can't complain about the service. However, for the last few hours or so, it's as if Hulu is down. Nothing is loading. It suggests a network error, yet, I'm connected. This is happening on my Nvidia Shield TV Pro, as well as my S10+ and my TCL Roku TV. EDIT: 14 hours later and Hulu is still not working. I just tried it through a browser, in desktop mode. The website and pages load. But, none of the videos will play. Blerg!
App is CONSTANTLY freezing and telling me there is a problem with what I’m trying to watch. It’s so annoying!! I’ve been trying to watch one episode for the last 2hrs. The show is only 22 mins long!!! 🤯 I don’t understand what is happening! When I watch Disney+ and use the beta version of Hulu there, I have no problems. In its current form (2/13/24) this app is garbage and useless!
Hulu was top of my list among all streaming platforms, but it has become the worst ever! I've had plenty frustrations, it's unbelievable! The only version that I'm able to open, has a poor user interface: doesn't give you access to episodes, you can't skip, fast forward or rewind current episodes.
I have the same issue with the MiBox S. I had the Android update. HULU became literally impossible to use (froze every 3 seconds) and that's not an exaggeration. I uninstalled it to see if I could fix the issue with a reinstall, and now I can't get it back. Please make the app compatible so we can reinstall the app. Why should I pay for HULU when I can't use it on my main devices. If it isn't fixed soon I will be cancelling my subscription, because this issue is one created by HULU, that shouldn't exist
In the past 2 months our Hulu app has crashed and brings up codes that we've never seen before. We usually are able to watch one TV show and once that TV show is done it has issues playing another episode of another TV show. It usually loads then says it's unable to load due to some kind of error code that is not related to internet connection. We pay too much money per month to be dealing with these kinds of streaming issues on this app and are now starting to consider whether it's worth it.
The app is almost a year old, doesn't support profiles, still uses the old UI, doesn't support HBO or other similar content, and has audo/video sync issues (even using Ethernet on a connection that is plenty fast enough to not need to buffer). Thankfully casting to the Android TV is supported, and the normal Android Hulu app works fairly well with Chromecast.
I am running this app on a TCL Android TV. This latest update crashes and causes the TV to reboot every time we use it. Also, the pause button no longer works. You have to use the play button to play/pause. The pause button works in all the other apps. The app borders on unusable. I don’t think I’ve been able to watch an entire episode of anything without at least one random reboot. This is the only app that crashes the TV.
