What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R2] Hulu 4/5 · US I love the shows and movies on Hulu!: Hulu is almost perfect. I like the shows on Hulu like Dragon Striker and The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball (I’m a huge cartoon fan). But it would be nice if they updated the Hulu interface. I also like how Disney+ has Hulu account linking so you can continue watching Hulu shows on Disney+ (with a bundle subscription.)! But sadly, the app is shutting down,
2. [R65] Amazon Prime Video 5/5 · US Amazing: Prime had all the shows I was looking for!!
3. [R96] Amazon Prime Video 3/5 · US The Good, the Bad and the UGLY: Good: selection of things to watch or subscribe to. Bad: massive amount of watchable “only if you pay more” for content vs free with subscription content UGLY: bad app code, the continue watching is just wrong, app crashes all the time, horrible algorithm for recommending stuff you would watch…
4. [R12] Hulu 3/5 · US Honest review: A lot of decent shows and movies with good rewatch value but the UI is messy and has been for years untouched, scenes will randomly skip on shows, you have to manually restart any show or movie you wanna rewatch not the biggest issues just very inconvenient through out the years
5. [R51] Hulu 1/5 · US Extremely frustrated: Hulu is more concerned about preventing multiple people from using one account than making their app and platform easy to use for those that pay stupid amounts of money to watch live sports while traveling. I can’t access Hulu on a plane, Hulu doesn’t work well with starlink, hulus app is constantly crashing on my tv, it’s slow to load on my phone with full bars of 5g. I woul
6. [R91] Amazon Prime Video 2/5 · US non stop crashing almost useless: this app is crushed on me 50 times in the last few months it's always updated I pay my bills I'm on a current device using iOS properly and the app continues to crash over and over and over and over sometimes 10 or 15 times in a row to the point where I have to delete the app and reload it which is ridiculous for corporation like amazon to have an app function so
7. [R3] Hulu 3/5 · US Too many bugs for the price: It's a nice concept and so many options are better. I hate that while you are watching a show or a sports game Hulu decides you watched enough and just shuts off on you. Or in the middle of watching a show I get an error message and can't continue watching. Get it together Hulu!
8. [R31] Hulu 3/5 · US New bugs: As of a week ago, I keep having to delete the app and reinstall it if I want to watch anything at all. If I watch something, close the app, sit for 1-2 days and then try to open the app again, it gets stuck on the opening screen and won’t let me watch anything. The only way it fixes itself as if I delete the app and reinstall it. Which I’ve had to do at least five times now in the last s
9. [R46] Hulu 1/5 · US Excessive ads: This review reflects my personal opinion and experience. I understand that the ad-supported plan is meant to be cheaper, but I think the number of ads is excessive. Three ad breaks in a 24, 25 minute episode is too much for a paid service, again my opinion. For comparison, Crunchyroll’s no-ads plan costs around $13.99 per month, whereas hulus no as plan costs around $18.99 ( at the
10. [R100] Amazon Prime Video 1/5 · US Most is behind another pay wall: If you like the 15 shows Amazon made, this is the app for you!! However if you want to watch, almost anything else, that will be additional $10-$25 depending on the next app you have to buy
11. [R114] Amazon Prime Video 3/5 · GB Everything should be included in the subscription: I wish I don’t have to pay extra to watch what I want
12. [R1] Hulu 1/5 · US Update He’ll on iPad: I’d give 0 stars if I could… This app has never been good, but the most recent update seems to have severed the secure link between Hulu and iOS vital to verifying age. Now none of the 5 family members ranging from 25 to 64 can access Hulu on iPad, for the past week and Hulu is still billing for full monthly fees while not acknowledging this situation that is apparently being
13. [R103] Amazon Prime Video 1/5 · US Continue: I’m deeply disappointed in prime for not fixing the issue with the continue watching section. I don’t have time to try n remember what I was watching and search for it then and do it every time I want to watch the show. I won’t be using prime very often now.
14. [R4] Hulu 1/5 · US YOUR ADS: YOU GIVE WAY TOO MANY ADS. i can’t even enjoy my show without getting put on a ad.i got ads so frequently when i was just getting off a ad,i got right back on one.i timed how often i get ads i get one every 1 minute or 1 minute and twenty seconds.yall are just money hungry.and the ads are like two minutes long.
15. [R10] Hulu 1/5 · US SO MANY ADS: STOP MAKING ME WATCH 10 MINS OF ADS FOR A 20 MIN EPISODE
16. [R61] Amazon Prime Video 2/5 · US Excessive Ads: Excessive amount of ads.
17. [R90] Amazon Prime Video 3/5 · US ADS: Too many ads and ads are too long
