So, I enjoy it for the most part, but the commercials cut things off in the middle of words or sentences so when it gets back to the video, it is impossible to follow the train of thought without backing it up a little. But guess what? If you do that just a little bit, it makes you see commercials again, stopping in the middle of the sentence - again! And often even MORE commercials the second and third time you try to piece together what is being said. It didn’t seem to do that at first but it is doing it now so I often look for other venues to see what I want to see. This may not be an issue with movies, but I mostly watch documentaries and some of the concepts presented require concentration and smooth flow to grasp the ideas. I don’t mind the commercials per se, but not after just watching a bunch of commercials, having to back it up just a little, it then having it cut off the sentences and having to watch another whole batch of commercials and rarely getting to have continuity of the thoughts pretend. Freevee does not do that and it also lets you know when a commercial set is coming so you can plan accordingly. If they fix that I will come back to Tubi.
I open the app today and I’m now being forced to register and sign in losing ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS AND PROGRESS!!! It was decent while it lasted. Instead of fixing the auto play next episode which often skips episodes for no reason they instead add that awful thing where it randomly picks a show to continue after I finish watching one. Instead of fixing the awful interface on Apple TV they make it purposely lag changing the behavior of the selection process as if that is something anyone wants. Forced previews etc etc etc. I got this because it was better than Pluto, and didn’t have the same crappy interface everyone copies from going out of business Netflix for some reason, but developers love to fix their apps till they’re useless. Deleting this garbage. Got to love Apple’s skewed rating system. There’s no way this is 4.7 stars. They really need to be sued for intentionally misrepresenting content.
… and I am glad they fixed the audio issue, but it definitely needs some minor improvements.
“Something went wrong” errors talking about having trouble playing the content every time a new episode starts. For example, I’ll watch Degrassi — an episode will play fine, but whenever it goes to the next episode, the error pops up and the content won’t play.
Sometimes I can wait a few minutes, and then all is fine. The episode will play as it should. Sometimes I have to back out of the app completely and try again. If that one issue could be ironed out, the app would be perfect. It’s been great to use to watch old reality shows and some
classics I haven’t seen in over a decade. Been using it more than Netflix here lately, but the error does get extremely annoying.
I absolutely love the app, however, it would be perfect if the next show started without having to get the remote and tell it to play the next episode.
Note: Guys, stop complaining about the freakin’ ads! It’s gotta be this new generation constantly complaining about ads! I’m a 90s/early 2000s kid and the only way just didn’t watch ads is if you put in a DVD…and even then, there would be previews of other movies 🤷🏽♀️. The app is completely Free. If they don’t run ads for revenue, how do you suppose they keep it free?! Licensing these movies ain’t free! If there are too many ads for you, leave the platform.
My favorite feature of the app is when scrolling the tile for a video will have a number in a circle showing how many days before it leaves Tubi when it’s 14 or less. Except that feature keeps disappearing and reappearing. Currently clicking on a tile doesn’t even show that. I use the app primarily to manage a lengthy list but it has become near useless. Please prioritize this feature. It’s the most useful feature of the app. The tv app truncates the list and this app doesn’t. It would be nice if all your apps had the same functionality, but a single version doesn’t even retain its own features
I don’t mind the app. It has good content but the developers need to GET RID OF AUTO PLAY. It’s ridiculous being asked if I want to continue watching or start from the beginning when I don’t start watching the movie. There’s a big giant play button right in the middle of the screen. Why would anyone want you to start a movie for them?
UPDATE REVIEW— They DID get rid off the auto play problem that I was referring to. They have been getting better quality movies also. I updated from ⭐️⭐️ to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks TUBI. I’ve been watching a lot more lately.
Installed Tubi mainly to watch one documentary. It basically would load and start playing, then switch to a different movie/documentary about the same basic subject of the one I was trying to watch. Finally after MANY tries, I got the one I wanted to play. About half way through the show, Tubi switched off to a different movie and started the whole, screwed up mess again.
From my experience today, the Tubi app is probably the worst streaming app I’ve ever seen and worth less than it’s cost of $0!
Title pretty much covers it. This is my primary streaming app, but looking for something better because of the way the app functions. When backspace while scrolling through movies the cursor will go too far left and when it does it’s nearly impossible to get back to where you were. Additionally, after a movie ends it auto starts to a new movie. However, I you backspace to get info about the movie it gos although back to Home Screen and again it’s nearly impossible to find your way back….
Please, Tubi, now that you guys are getting
popular, don't neglect the app. I used to love binge-watching movies here, but recently you can't watch anymore without the movie stopping every five minutes; then, I will have to exit the app and come back into the app again. Just unbearable. Sometimes, in the middle of watching a movie, it starts spinning and then goes back to the beginning of the movie. This is just bad. I used to love this app, but I'm not sure what's happening.
I understand it might be hard to get more episodes one there like Dance Moms. That’s the reason I downloaded Tubi but there’s only 3 seasons and I wish it had all season but like I said it might be difficult so I won’t complain to much but other then that I LOVE THIS APP there’s no much ads and especially when that’s your only source of income on this, unlike Lifetime, you try to make people happy and not try to use people for money and that’s why I love this app. FIVE STARS
