It honestly doesn’t work half the time. I thought by the time the new fall line up came out they would have fixed it from the end of the last season but it still refuses to load videos sometimes and gets stuck on ads. Still no log in either so that if I switch which […]
Reviews for The CW
β Back to The CW20 reviews
The app works and gets the job done to watch my favorite CW shoes and they almost fixed a major bug when casting to a Chromecast device. It used to not fill the TV screen, be off center, and have grey where it didn’t fill. It’s better now as it almost fills my Sony 4K […]
Works great for streaming. Absolutely exasperating to find where you left off if you can’t watch something in one sitting. Should be able to resume where you paused/stopped, without having to search and wait for all the repetitive and excessive number of commercials. **update 12/21: now it seems that at times this app will get […]
One of the worst streaming services I’ve ever used. 2.5min ads every 5 minutes, and sometimes it would glitch and restart the ads so I would have to watch 5 minutes of ads. Careful not to bump your phone wrong, because if you back out of the movie and go back in, you have to […]
Horrifying since they redid their application. ALWAYS cuts off while watching the episode. You never get to finish your episode now, but you can watch as many commercials as you want. They also screwed up their home page. It is incredibly confusing, and now there is no way of being able to tell where your […]
The old app worked well. Now you can’t select the episode you want, and you have to watch a trailer before you can watch anything. Commercials were in the appropriate places now you get Commercials every where you go, along with the additional commercials in the episodes. I used to watch episodes, and the app […]
Your app doesn’t work! On my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra I have to close and open the app a dozen times for it to finally work. Every other time I get “an error has occured.” On my smart TV, it won’t let me pick certain episodes of my show I want to watch. And it […]
So there are adds, but watching free TV is worth it. I dont have internet or a cable, so my phone is pretty much my lifeline to new shows. If you can’t stand unskipable adds, then maybe try something else. But if you’re like me and don’t really care as long as you don’t get […]
I love the app for the arrowvers but if you want to pick up a show you already started on another device, then you have to sit thru 5 or 6 min of commercials. And that’s if you know exactly where you stopped on the other device. I was trying to finish my show and […]
This would be perfect if you had a way to pay for no commercials like the CBS app. But with the commercials that play 3 times in a row its just hard to stay interested in the actual show. I’d almost rather just wait for it to come out on Netflix…. I literally just watched […]
This app is complete trash. You get 3 full minutes ads at every ad break, which is pretty much every 4 minutes. It feels like you watch more ads than actual show. A 50 minute episode went on for over an hour and a half. You can’t even fast forward in an episode without the […]
Lots of great shows on the CW, and I really don’t mind having to watch ads, but this app is just awful! It constantly freezes or gets stuck in loops and then crashes. Then, when I go back in to it, it doesn’t remember what show I was watching, let alone continue at the point […]
literally unusable. I don’t understand how companies whose entire product is streamable shows, can’t make an app that works. The ad loads are an issue nearly every time. God forbid I pause in the middle of something and attempt to resume later. I just get caught in an endless stream of “continue/restart?” prompts that do […]
Originally this app was great for casting, but for whatever reason it has gotten worse and worse over the last year or so. We have a pretty fast internet connection now and it hasn’t made a difference at all. It will freeze, back track, freeze again, and either play a commercial or play back the […]
Ads are outrageous. If you minimize the app on your phone to answer a text message, then immediately go back, you have to watch all the ads for the entire episode. The timer will say 1 minute left, but will give you 6 of the exact same commercial! It also never recognized what I had […]
Your app keeps malfunctioning when being run through my Roku Smart TV. I was trying to watch one of the episodes of Grimm. The app itself kept closing. And when I tried to continue watching the episode, I kept getting the error message, that it couldn’t be played. I like the selection of shows and […]
Love the show selection, but please, for the love of God fix the bugs… after the shows (5 different ones) start back after commercial, it’s not syncing. The words and the characters speaking are not syncing up. I have to exit out, watch another set of commercials for it to be right again… then it […]
It’s a great app. Except for the crashing and error all the time. Watch a couple minutes then error. Get it going again, error. If this issue would be fixed then I’d rate it a 5* no problem. Have deleted and reinstalled and then cleared cache and nothing helps. Still says error and then crashes. […]
Those leaving good reviews must be scams. this app is awful. one of the worst. I accidentally pressed the “learn more” on an ad, and it wouldn’t replay where I left off. the app made me restart the episode with a 3 minute ad, then another 3 minute ad when I skipped ahead to where […]
Edit: working more smoothly now. *** Was working mostly fine, occasional glitches. Lots of ads but it’s free, so that’s expected. Managed to view 1.5 seasons of a show over the last week or two. Except now the app won’t function AT ALL. Uninstalled and reinstalled and it STILL pops up and error message. I […]
