1. [R12] Tubi 3/5 · US Sad: I love Tubi but why are they removing all the good movies like why are all the goated movies leaving tomorrow
2. [R56] Tubi 5/5 · US Great movie selection: This app is great it has a ton of movies to chose from yes there are ads but there not over the top. Definitely manageable.
3. [R67] Netflix 1/5 · US Terrible: Removing all the good shows they have.
4. [R111] Netflix 3/5 · GB Removing the best shows and adding the worst: I love Netflix, having no adds is great, but what annoys me is how the expiry date on the best shows/movies are always running out, which means they’ve been taken off Netflix.. Netflix always adds the worst stuff as well, I miss so many old nostalgic shows or movies Netflix used to have but have been taken off..
5. [R1] Tubi 1/5 · US Trouble playing video: My Netflix, my Disney+, my Amazon, hbo, A&E, even pluto work flawlessly on my phone through cellular data no problem whatsoever. But Tubi?? Good lord no. You can start a video and it will play the first 10 to 20 seconds right away and then it always buffers and it will never correct itself unless you close the app and start again. And then it just repeats that same process
6. [R3] Tubi 3/5 · US Lots of Bugs: The app is fully up to date but for some reason it consistently crashes or fails to play videos beyond 30 seconds. When it does work I love the app it just rarely happens.
7. [R19] Tubi 1/5 · US So Disappointed What Happened Tubi?: This has been my go to streaming app for years. This year something happened. I can’t even use this app anymore on my Ipad. It freezes and/or just won’t load anything for no apparent reason. It seems like when they added the commercials, which I really don’t mind, it has steadily gotten worse until now it’s pretty much not watchable. I am so disappointed becaus
8. [R86] Netflix 5/5 · US My experience: Netflix is a kind of entertainment platform that you don’t see everyday. There’s no ads, and you can always count on netflix working. Only thing is that some of the really good shows, seasons, and movies they release don’t come as fast as on other platforms. Other than that I love Netflix so much, and usually the are the fastest. It’s just sometimes.
9. [R4] Tubi 1/5 · US Buffering, freezing, error codes 10.26.0 sucks: Version 10.26.0 the recent update sucks ever more. All the videos still buffering the whole time. Whoever works on this app needs to fix this issue now!!! I am so frustrated with you guys. This is a free app and I’m having more trouble with this than any other app. Just do an update and fix the buffering!!!
10. [R25] Tubi 1/5 · US Freezes: Constantly freezes and won’t play movies
11. [R46] Tubi 1/5 · US GARBAGE: It’s just stuttering garbage now. Freezes now just a few minutes into anything I watch, anytime. RIP TUBI, you playin games now.
12. [R14] Tubi 5/5 · US Keep it Secret. Keep it Safe.: Tubi really is an incredible app! Can’t believe the library on here, looks like they change around movies every few months but it allows for some heavy hitters! - okay with shows, mainly cartoons and classics, could use a few sturdy US Sitcoms… but love love love. Please keep it a secret, the amount of ads for a free app is great also!
13. [R50] Tubi 5/5 · US Love this!!!!: It is for free and has the best shows
14. [R78] Netflix 3/5 · US Netflix is just awesome but a bit overpriced.: Your already paying $8 per month just for Netflix, AND THEY STILL REQUIRE ADS AND YOU ARE RESTRICTED FROM SOME SHOWS!!! And if you want no ads and all of the shows, ITS $20 PER MONTH, the shows are good but they should really make it more affordible.
15. [R79] Netflix 1/5 · US Netflix sucks now: Way too expensive. Realized I haven’t used it like 6 months because there isn’t anything I want to watch! So 30 dollars a month down the drain. Netflix is a money hungry company that doesn’t offer anything good.
16. [R28] Tubi 1/5 · US Poor playback: Selected shows keep freezing up. Won’t play thru.
17. [R64] Netflix 1/5 · US IOS and IPADOS 18!?: Why??? Do you all just not like supporting older iOS’s anymore??? Minimum iOS support being 18 in 2026 is too early for a video player in my opinion, like even though I can use the app on iPadOS 17 it still doesn’t make sense why I cannot click the update button for this app now. And this app takes up too much storage like I had to sign out to delete 1.5GB of documents and dat
18. [R82] Netflix 1/5 · US Horrible user experience if you travel: I travel. A lot. The Ill-considered home network requirements mean I often can’t use the app. I understand that Netflix wants to combat password sharing, but I am NOT sharing and I can’t get what I pay for. Just use a passkey and stop this nonsense.
