EDIT: Glad I got a free trial to come back. This is THE WORST streaming app. Bad controls. Bad at tracking your place if you leave. Just, bad. It's quite frustrating that every single time I start up the app, I have to click to continue watching my show, then click again to actually resume, then click AGAIN because it goes back to the home page. But only once - it's not random...

Though this app has improved from when I first started using it, it's still annoyingly buggy. On the TV, it occasionally hangs and fails to load, requiring a force quit to get it to work again. It also often "forgets" that I have the highest tier subscription and disables fast-forward and rewind, even when watching subsequent episodes of a show. Streaming quality has improved but still hangs or studders occasionally when I don't have this problem w other services. Should be better.

Pretty disappointed that I choose to pay for a year subscription. While there is good content, it's a coin toss if the app will crash and freeze up or if you'll be allowed to view the selected show. The app glitches constantly on the TV and mobile apps. The only consistency is that the app is not going to work at some point. Is it asking too much to watch without having to troubleshoot, restart, clear cashe, uninstall/reinstall or any other IT step by step.

In addition to not being able fully access all the promised features of the premium subscription, you can't even get all the shows. Now, you pay for Paramount+, which used to be CBS All Access (and the app worked when it still was). Now, Paramount+, even the top tier, does not include Paramount content... 🤦‍♀️ Going back to cable is starting to look like a better idea than streaming.

I love Paramount+ but I'm really starting to hate the app. I've already done the most recent update, but it keeps going to a different (old?) version and the videos won't open or load in the app. I either have to open the videos in Chrome, or I have to uninstall and reinstall the app (EVERY time I close and reopen it) otherwise the videos won't open/play in the app. If you're able to get this problem resolved, I will change my review.

UPDATE 1/30/25: Newest version of app doesn't even work now. No access through the mobile app, just the loading screen. Complete garbage, don't waste your money. Will be canceling service. Despite paying for ad-free, there are still commercials for paramount shows. Constant stream interruptions whether on wi-fi or 5g, the app randomly closes whenever it wants, and the user interface is spotty at best on most platforms. All in all, not a great user experience, and the performance is shoddy.

Refuses to load for the past two weeks. I've restarted, Uninstalled/reinstalled and every other recommendation. Galaxy S24 Ultra with great internet yet they still suggest it's an issue on my end. It's already one of the poorest streaming interfaces, couple that with not working most of the time and it's no wonder most people only use it when it's free with something else. Do NOT pay for this; if you don't get it included with something else like Walmart+ it's not even remotely worth it.

The absolute worst streaming app on my phone and tv. I've had this on my phone for months, and I've never been able to watch anything. It always stays on the start-up logo page. On the tv, the movie will play but not without constant freezing. I thought that it was possibly my internet connection, but I have no problem with any other streaming services. If all of us users are complaining about the same thing, you all are clearly the problem.

It's great when it works. App crashes/stops working MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. I have to uninstall and reinstall it at least 2 to 3 times a week at minimum. It's pretty ridiculous, and idk how this isn't fixed yet after a few YEARS of it happening. I always make sure to update it. It will open and just freeze on the blue screen that says paramount. That's when I know I have to uninstall and reinstall because it will not work until I do.

We have this app on our TV, and the picture quality is iffy, the commercial breaks stall for several minutes before the commercials actually start. (And, can someone please explain to me why we are paying for a streaming service and STILL have to watch ads?) I also have this app on my phone, as, for a while, by casting to the TV, it was the only way to watch the shows without all the glitches. Now, the app doesn't go past the splash screen. Very frustrating!
