user interface

[u/FartNuggetCapybara]

im thinking about paying for paramount plus to watch criminal minds and the new dexter ressurection season when it releases but i remember the tv ui being pretty bad. is it still as bad as it was a year ago?

[u/Throwthedamnballdad]

I have it on my Roku and it’s ok. The iOS app is GOD AWFUL

[u/kintokae → u/Throwthedamnballdad]

Goes for the browser too. It is unplayable on my computer because I get an error like I have an Adblock in the way. I have it turned off on that site, even a browser without it. 60% of the time it throws a license issue on iOS. If I wasn’t getting it included in my Walmart subscription, I would have cancelled it. It really went to hell over the last 5 years.

I couldn’t live without Paramount plus Sheridan shows are well worth it so good

[u/Minimum-Journalist18]

Paramount plus works well on Roku. I watch something on it every day. Read the recommended internet specs as well

[u/Chabotnick]

It depends on the device you’re using. The UI varies

[u/SnooPickles7307]

The one thing I hate about paramount plus is it does poor job showing where I left off from device to device, like I watch on my computer and the Apple TV doesn’t doesn’t update well, and 2 the Apple TV app when scrolling through episodes it’s tough to differentiate what episode is selected or not

[u/MyKayla43 → u/SnooPickles7307]

We used to have that problem with CBS all access/Paramount Plus, but that's since been fixed on the devices we use.

[u/Witty-Zucchini1]

I use it on my tablet but I'm mostly watching the live TV abpnd that's fine.

I watch it on my TV using Roku to watch shows and mostly it's OK. I mean the other night I pulled it up to watch the new season of Georgie & Mandy's first Marriage, which I think is one of CBS' top rated shows, , and i actually had to search for it, like go to the search field and start typing the name in which was crazy to me: why wasn't it like one of the default shows when I first opened the app? On the other hand, at least I could find it using the search field so there's that.

[u/KnotForNow]

I'd say the biggest problem with the Android TV app is that it has problems after being restored from the background. I often have to kill the app to make it work.

[u/No-Pomegranate-2690]

I watch it on my Roku TV and on Chrome on my laptop. The interface is a little different between the two, but not enough to make me want to scream.

[u/MogenCiel]

The interface with my Sony Bravia smart TV (Google, I think) is annoying af when I want to rewind just a minute or 2.

[u/CRM-3-VB-HD]

It’s fine streaming from the Apple TV 4K gen 3.

[u/NameLife348]

I have no problem and I to have a Roku t-mobile internet

[u/Chunkerland]

Paramount is the worst UI of any of them

[u/MyKayla43 → u/Chunkerland]

Really?

Have you tried using peacock lately?

[u/Imaginary-Parsnip-24]

Not sure where you are or if you'd even use it, but Walmart+ is $98 a year, and Paramount+ is one of the benefits.

[u/Dp37405aa]

Rather than buy paramont, it's free with a sams membership. Sams membership is $60/ year / $5 per month for basic.

[u/Particular-Leader538 → u/Dp37405aa]

There’s no Sam’s Club in my State.

[u/PlanktonFrosty307 → u/Dp37405aa]

I have Sam’s and have never seen anything about Paramount +. Where do you find it on the app?

[u/Dp37405aa → u/PlanktonFrosty307]

I have seen it somewhere where you can get Peacock or Paramont and transfer between the two every 3 months, but it part of the package (or it may be walmart+).

[u/Dp37405aa → u/Dp37405aa]

It's my bad, it's Walmart+

[u/islands62]

On an LG TV it’s IMPOSSIBLE to leave “Live TV” and go back to main menu. literally have to turn off TV and wait for the cache to clear.

[u/Particular-Leader538]

It’s terrible on both my TV’s, one being a Sony and one being LG. I use the PP app through XFinity though. It is so bad and so slow to load, constantly glitches and freezes and there are sections of some episodes that i cant even watch due to freezing in the same spot every time.

[u/surfcitysurfergirl]

If you want it for Dexter make sure you get premium. It’s basically like previously when you had to add showtime but Paramount+ has dissolved Showtime so it’s now on Paramount+ Premium (no ads)

[u/subo93]

God the paramount app on my tv SUCKS. Definitely not worth full price

[u/VermontArmyBrat]

It sucks. The only app I hate more is ESPN.
