worst designed streaming platform app I've ever used. the autoplay option doesn't work 90% of the time. The background audio option doesn't work at all. And the best bit... the quality randomly goes down and the screen gets super pixilated even when the episode has been downloaded...
Reviews for WOW Presents Plus
← Back to WOW Presents Plusthere are some bugs mainly with the continue watching, but the amount of content you get for the low price makes that no more than a minor annoyance, I wasnt expecting how much would be on here until I caved and got a subscription now its the only one ill never cancel
love the shows but the app itself is functionally useless. doesn't remember subtitle preferences, won't play more than one episode using chromecast, autoplay feature doesn't work, doesn't remember what episode you're up to, "continue watching" is always a few episodes behind what I just watched, have to reconnect to chromecast and wifi between each episode, missing some seasons of drag race, each episode is a very very different volume, app isn't available on many platforms.
I love everything on here! WOW is amazing!! I wish they would add a Playlist option so I can watch the episode of drag race and then the untucked episode without having to switch back and forth every time. I dream of a Playlist starting season 1 and going through all of the episodes and franchises in order. It would also be really great if I could just set the closed caption once and not for every episode. Especially since there are so many franchises now in so many different languages.
Beware! It's not easy to cancel your subscription! Very shady IMO This app keeps on crashing...Came to see if there was an update but nope! And god forbid you skip/rewind unless you wanna see non-stop errors "sorry we couldn't play this" Also some of the lip syncs for the France franchise are not available because (the song wasn't available in your area) and you see the queens lipsynching to some porn track is weird! I've had this app cause of Spain, but the service keeps lowering her standards.
This app is absolutely incapable of remaining connected to a Chromecast for the purposes of control. If you need to pause, you have to go to the Google home app to do it because this app has lost control over streaming after 10 minutes yet the controls will remain stuck on your lock screen until you restart the phone. It is the only app that behaves like this! Its absolutely ridiculous!
Have to restart episodes a few times before they'll play without freeze-framing & playing audio only. Nothing wrong with my Net connection. App automatically turns off my blue light screen filter which isnt a huge deal, but annoying. Just tried to watch Unhhhh & the vid keeps buffering for no reason I can find. If you can catch seasons of Drag Race somewhere else, it's more convenient than this.
I love the shows on the app, but recently through both my phone and on my tv, it takes forever to load, black screens of doom come up, and there's not much I can do. If we're paying per month for these subscriptions, why is this happening? No need for an update on my end, I paid the bill (they assured me I did) and it's happening on two of my devices? Gurl, no. #DragRaceTechSupport?
Content is great but usability could be improved: - Search results only seem to yield video clips but not series or episodes. Adding a filter function would help. (Ex. Searching RPDR UK should have that series as the top result but instead only shows episode review videos) - The "resume" section does not always have my most recently viewed videos/episodes. - "My Library" should have a filter section as well so I can find RPDR series and mini series more easily.
Love the content, I'll always subscribe. But the functionality of the app leaves some things to be desired: I don't know of any performance problems, I've never had an issue using the app, but there are some features that I'd love to see. The date that the video was uploaded would be lovely; some of these videos have weekly releases and I'm unsure of when it is, so I end up checking youtube. Also, I'd like to be able to remove some of the "continue watching" videos (I've seen them already)
I love watching WOW! It gives me everything I enjoy in one place! I think the only thing I wish it had was English Dubbing on the non-English speaking Drag Race shows. I love watching them but sometimes they speak faster than I can read the subtitles. :( If they would add Dubbing, this channel would be perfect! Other than that, I love the content, and watch this channel all the time. :)
I love this app and have used it for well over a year. The last several months there's been some issues with certain shows and doesn't want to work properly as often as it should. Today I've renewed and paid my monthly subscription but everything still showing as lock. I would like to know what's going on and how to get things running smoothly agian. Please unlock my account or credit my account.
The content, 5 stars! The app itself barely gets 3... No subtitles is the biggest downfall. I'm partially deaf and need subtitles. I'm sure fully deaf people will agree with me as well lol.. Casting to Chromecast and other devices works okay if you dont have the app open it wont autoplay though. It also disconnects at random times.. Needs work and almost makes me want to cancel my subscription but the app is relatively new so I'm giving it time to see if you all fix any of these issues
Great app, with content we've all grown to know and love. I very much enjoy the variety of shows I can watch on Wow Presents Plus, and I do like getting to see them as soon as they come out, as opposed to a week later on YT. The only improvement I could suggest, and I'm sure I'm not the first to say it, is that it would be really cool to be able to watch Drag Race on Wow Presents in the US.
I'm definitely enjoying my subscription. I love the RuPaul shows all being in one place. I love the little feature shows by our favorite queens. But after a while, I've realized there's not much that changes. I wish that they would add new documentaries each month to change things up a bit. I also wish they would expand a bit more from RuPaul. Maybe some kings & monsters?? Tech team: there's a regular, annoying glitch that knocks me out while I'm watching. I have to close the app & go back in.
It takes 3 hours to watch a 20 minute episode. It's constantly buffering. I will not be renewing my subscription after this one runs out. I love the content, but the app itself needs major work. I don't understand how I can go over to YT and watch a video no problem, but when I try to watch anything on this app it takes forever. 3 minutes of content, then 3 minutes of buffering, so on and so forth.
It's not worth it to subscribe, I paid the initial amount for the subscription and cancelled right after few shows. This app offers just few seasons of RuPaul's drag race, I was looking forward to see everything from Espain and just found three seasons. The others I really don't care for because I can watch it on Peacock or Ruku TV for free. To be honest I'm very disappointed. Not to mention how many glitches this app has, it's nuts. If it gets fixed I'll subscribe again.
The subtitles are terrible. It is embarrassing to rely just on AI slop to do your subtitles without correcting huge faults in translation or transcription (often leaving full sections of dialogue blank) and, in several occasions misgendering the contestants, guests, etcetera. The AI dubbed versions are even worse than the subtitles and they shouldn't be marketed as if they were finished products. Subtitles are not just for non-native speakers, some people are hard of hearing. Do better.
It's actually a pretty solid app. It does some odd things, for instance when you start watching something from the Series page of that show it will automatically go to the next episode like Netflix and hulu. When you play from the resume watching section it instead goes to the next thing on the resume watching list instead of the next episode. I don't think that makes a lot of sense
I love the shows on the app, but holy cow the amount of problems with the app itself is too many to count. For one, you can't change the quality of the videos so good luck watching anything without buffering every 3 seconds. So I downloaded the episodes to my device, so I wouldn't have to worry about buffering. Somehow tho, even with the downloaded episodes, it throws an error over half the time, or takes a long time to play. How? It should just play. Fix this app, please. I'm paying money.
