The single worst streaming app out there. – Paramount+ Review

You pay for premium so you have no ads. But some gas bag executive figures “an ad for our own service doesn’t count” so you get a 40s unskippable ad before most videos. Now you may say “that’s not the apps fault” ah but your wrong. This hurts the app experience, so now instead of hitting play and then broadcasting via Apple TV or chrome cast I have to wait for the ad to end. Fix it and fire this executive. Another issue is that on Apple TV it never remembers your close caption setting, so you have to set that every time as well. Edit: the developer responded and told me to get the premium plan. Minus another star for reading comprehension. “You pay for premium so you have no ads”. I have premium and I still get promotional ads. Your executives aren’t counting ads for your own content even though the app will display “playing ad 1 of 2”. An ad is an ad, prime does this too but at least on prime I can skip it and it’s not on EVERY episode I play. Prime also made no “ad version” vs “no ad version” of the service. So at least they are snakes.
