Worst streaming app. Ok so is 2020 and you create a streaming app that cannot be casted to a smart tv. Is it me or is that not just dumb. I might have expected this 10 or maybe 5 years ago but in 2020 if you are making a streaming app you better make sure it can cast to a tv. My tv does not get the peacock app so it would have been nice to just air play it. It’s not preferable but it works. But you crated a streaming app that cannot do this. What kind of stupid are your programmers that thought “hey let’s create a streaming app that cannot be casted. There’s a brilliant idea”. Also the app navigation is kinda clunky. I do like one of the original shows but I hate watching it on my phone. For the first few episode I kinda was able to make it cast but when I tried last night i could only connect the sound. One again. What a dumb move at not adding the ability to cast to smart TVs. Why is this not a thing. Hell even the dumbest cable app have figured out the value of allowing there content to be casted. But the big nbc universal company cannot get this one small thing right. You are loosing the streaming war my friends and all because you where to dumb yo not add one feature that allows people to watch your shows on there big TVs.

NEVER. STOPS. LOADING.. i recently purchased a peacock subscription, hoping to stream on the app. the website works just fine on my computer but over the past few days i have had to delete and reinstall this app on my ipad and phone due to constant loading. i swear all i see are the stupid rainbow dots, over and over and over for 5 minutes or more. i’ve tried restarting my devices, I've checked my network connection (it’s fine, and all my other streaming apps work), but for some reason this app cannot seem to just….load. once i reinstall, i’m able to get it working (until the next time i exit the app, and have to go through the whole process again), but then when i’m watching my happy little sitcoms i get bombarded with creepy horror movie ads and i cannot figure out a way to make some ad choices. i understand the service comes with ads, and i don’t want to have to make my account be a “kids” account just to stop seeing ads that are pretty distressing to me. if there is an option to do that, it isn’t intuitive and i wish it was.

Skips 24/7. I can’t watch more than 5 minutes of anything on Peacock without the app skipping to the next episode/movie/series. I have to manually go back to “more episodes” to go back to the last episode I was supposed to be watching still. Sometimes it skips multiple episodes without even showing 1 second of any of the episodes it just keeps skipping and you can see the episode names changing. Sometimes it skips multiple times IN THE 5 SECONDS it takes to go back to the previous episode so I have to go back 3 or 4 episodes. This happens everyday all day and I’m not paying for peacock next month or any other month. I’m done. Nobody has solutions for this I don’t understand. It’s on all my devices it’s not my fault no other streaming service does this !!!!! I will definitely not recommend to a friend and even go out of my way to talk bad about peacock because this is an issue nobody else has. Where is all my money going if NOT TOWARD FIXING YOUR APP????

Ads. I definitely love love this app and it’s amazing how all these good movies are here and it’s all completely free but there is one thing and only one thing that keeps on bothering me. No it is not the ads, I understand that those are necessary to gain some money but whenever an ad does come up once it is done the movie/show you are watching skips forward a bit and if you try to rewind it to see the part you missed, the app makes you watch the same ads again for a second time. This is quite annoying because there are some parts of the movie that get skipped but some times that part is important but you are not able to see it. I am not asking for you to take away the ads or change the thing that makes you watch ads for a second time, but all I am asking for is that you fix it so that after you watching an ad it goes back a couple seconds so that you don’t miss/forget anything or at least make it so that it takes you back to the second it stopped. Overall this app is amazing and I am loving it. 10 out of 10.

It’s okay.. I wanna say that they have an amazing selection on this app for tv shows and movies. However, I got the app for free with Xfinity wifi and they said I would have Peacock PREMIUM. When I think of premium I think “no ads.” Well that is NOT the case. I try to watch tv shows and an ad plays every few minutes. It plays about every 5 minutes during the show. I get a 60 second ad about 3-4 times every single 24 minutes episode. And it does not stop there. I also get 15 and 30 second ads on top of the minute long ones. So over all I’m watching roughly 10 minutes of ads every single episode??? I thought I was suppose to have premium… this is not premium. I enjoy the app, but the ads are just ridiculous. If anything, play a minute and a half ad BEFORE the episode so customers can watch a single episode in peace without interruption every 3 seconds. I gave four stars because I know how hard it is to allow such a selection without ads. But come on… I watch about 5 minutes of a show and get hit with 5 minutes of ads. It makes me not want to use the app.

Just awful. UPDATE: SUBSCRIPTION CANCELED. The application won’t even start today…hasn’t worked since last night…Just a line of little rainbow colored dots bouncing on the screen. And of course it stopped working the day after the auto payment was charged to my credit card! The application is inexpensive and has a lot of great content, but it is NOT worth the time and aggravation. UPDATE: this is such an AGGRAVATING app. Why Is the “continuing watching” feature not working on the television?!?!?! If I wanna watch a show on my phone, it’ll save where I stopped watching, but since I’m watching on my smart TV, not only is it not saving where I stopped watching…it’s not even saving the show that I was watching! Each update to the application seems to make it worse and worse. The app worked absolutely perfectly while I was watching for free. But as soon as I linked my card and paid for access, I can’t get thru a single episode of anything. It’s ridiculous. It buffers CONSTANTLY. Also, maybe make the selector a dark black box or something. You can’t tell which show you’re selecting when you’re scrolling. It’s incredibly difficult to select the show you want.

Skips episodes and switches movies. ios and Xfinity flex fail to play. Reviews sound like this is an issue on all devices. If you do anything on your phone/tablet while watching - pause, rewind, click a notification, check time, adjust brightness or volume, etc… literally anything, 3-10 seconds later the episode will skip to the next episode. Often happens without any triggers at all, or during an ad, and it’s hard to detect what happened. I only figured this out while rewatching a show. If I hadn’t seen it before I would have no idea and miss at least 50% of the content. When this happens on a movie, you’re forced to sit through 2 minutes of ads, only to view another 2 minutes of ads then find out it had already skipped to a different movie. Awful playback. You can’t pause or rewind when this happens because it causes it to happen again, which is comical but infuriating. If you plan to pause or do anything else on the device, you’re going to have a really bad time. Got this app to rewatch bates motel- love that show, and loved watching it on a different platform… rating 1 star in hopes this is fixed, seems everyone experiences this problem.

Garbage Service for Football Fans. I signed up for peacock as a way to watch the “best” matches in the premier league. Over the past 3 months, I’ve barely been able to watch any. The only matches shown are the lower league dwellers. Why pay for games I don’t even want to watch? What happened by showing all the mouth watering games of the prem? Unfortunately without cable or an alternate cable service there is no way to only watch the premier league. ESPN crushed it with their low cost service of serie a, bundesliga, European qualifiers, etc. but NBC can’t seem to put aside its greed. Although NBC’s prem coverage is arguably the best coverage of all leagues in the US. ALSO, let’s talk about the technical aspect of peacock. Firstly it doesn’t work on my chrome cast which is a huge bummer, either I need to start up my PS4, laptop, or I’m stuck on handheld. Secondly it buffers like a madman. Ultimately this is not the solution. The premier access app was much better. Keep football separate from all the nbc nonsense no1 wants to watch. People will gladly pay 5-10 bucks for an all encompassing premier league only app. At least I would, just cut the fat and give people what they want. Till next time nbc. Just dumped your app and service as it serves no point in my life.

Absolute garbage. The app design is terrible. They really try to force their stupid feed concept on you, and make finding specific programs or checking what’s playing at a certain time (live sports) a frustrating experience. All of that earns this app a single star rating. Regarding the service itself, I sincerely hope that it either fails or NBC loses/sells the rights to Premier League broadcasting. They have nearly ruined the ability to enjoy my favorite sport, and I find my favorite team in that sport to constantly be thrown on the Peacock premium service. Good job NBC executives, you’ve messed with my ability to watch a game I love without paying $5 a month for an otherwise awful service that is completely unworthy of subscription. You are the worst, NBC. UPDATE: I broke down and started paying this year so I could watch more games. Amazingly (or not), this terrible service and it’s live sports component do not offer the ability to pause, rewind or record. I could see no record option because extended data storage can become complex, but creating a buffer around an event’s schedule times to allow pause, resume, rewind and fast forward is pretty standard stuff. Once again, this app and service as a whole are awful. Still a 1-star experience.

It’s nice that it’s free. Peacock has some mediocre shows and movies on its platform with only a few hits. Now that Comcast has acquired the Office, Parks and Rec, and few others, it makes the app worth downloading. Some of the downsides are that when opening the app, it always begins with the trending section which isn’t tailored to the users likes and dislikes. It displays only what Comcast deems to be important and can be biased towards mainstream media. Also, when watching and finishing an episode of a tv show, it doesn’t automatically play the next episode of the show you are currently watching. So you have to re-enter the app, which opens with the trending screen again, therefore you accidentally click what’s first on the trending page and lose your place in the show. It’s a tad irritating. It would be nice if Comcast would just allow you to continue to watch episodes of the same show and only stop it after an amount of time, similar to Netflix. If they fixed these minor bugs, I think the app would be a lot more streamlined and better quality.

Olympic coverage with peacock free and premium. I downloaded peacock when it first came out and loved it! It was great for watching shows like Dateline and stuff and I recently decided to get peacock premium due to the Tokyo olympics as the free version didn’t have what I thought the premium version would (live coverage of the events). When upgrading I found that nothing changed with the app itself and the Olympic coverage remained the same. The app on my phone or even my streaming box did not change and did not offer any additional items other than letting me rewatch things like the opening ceremony which was hidden behind the premium paywall. The Olympic section on peacock is confusing and horribly designed. There is no way to find the events and their times or schedule and whether or not they would be streamed on peacock or a different service (live nbcsports). The live coverage on the channel section is also bad because they only do highlights which is not what I want to watch, I want to see the full coverage of the events. I feel scammed after enduring all of the ads saying that premium was the ultimate way to watch olympics sports coverage is false. I wish I could get my money back for paying for premium.

Price Went Up… Where Are The Basic Features Needed. I gave this review a long time ago. But the price just went up and we still don’t have these BASIC FEATURES that need to be added to all the apps whether on the phone, fire tv, roku, etc. We need the ability to remove shows from “continue watching”. I’ve reached out several times through chat to ask how to remove a show. The answer: go to the last episode and fast forward to the last few seconds and let it play out. That is fine for a show that is not currently airing. I wanted to watch one episode of SNL and now I can’t remove it from continue watching. Literally every other platform has that feature. Another function every other streaming platform has? Turning off auto-play! When watching a show, I don’t enjoy the stress of making sure I hit cancel so that another show doesn’t play for two seconds and end up as yet another one on my continue watching!! These functions are so basic and every other platform has managed to get them done, so it can’t be that complicated. You got more money, so fix it, please!

Add Picture in Picture, audio descriptions & autoplay cancel.. Add Picture in Picture, audio descriptions & autoplay cancel. I really want to love this app. I even paid for the commercial free version, because I love NBC so much. The content is great. Unfortunately, this app is lacking in several accessibility features. Additionally, it needs different user profiles, so that I can have a watchlist that I don’t share with the rest of my family. It will not allow me to do picture in picture, which means my shows are interrupted each time I open a message to reply. I am very disappointed that there are not audio descriptions available for most shows. People with low vision or blindness, this limits access to some great television. Finally, I have tried to work out how to cancel autoplay as a default, but I can’t seem to do it. If I do not physically tap the screen before an episode ends, the app will automatically play the next episode. This is especially frustrating if I fall asleep watching a show, only to wake up with a whole season over. Again, I really do want to love this app. Every other streaming service I have allows for picture in picture, as well as autoplay camel, and most have audio descriptions. I hope peacock gets these features soon!

iOS app has a ways to go. On my Roku tv, this app does pretty well. On my fire tv, it does a little worse but it usually just needs an update if it’s lagging or having a problem. However, on my iPhone, it leaves a lot to be desired. Half the time “picture in picture” doesn’t work so I have to go in and out of the app to simply answer a text message or check a notification which always messes up my place and will put me half an episode ahead or behind from where I was already watching. The ads on iOS are also relentless. On my tv or laptop, if I have watched an ad and I rewind past that point, it doesn’t make me rewatch that ad, which I really appreciate but it’s sadly a different story on my phone. I probably watch triple the ads, if not more because every time I have to find where I was watching again because the app moved my place or even I try to jump back 10 seconds because I missed something, I have to watch an ad in every single slot over and over and over and it’s getting real, real old, friends.

The worst app I’ve ever used + worst customer support. This is absolutely the worst app I have ever used, it has almost constant buffering issues. It constantly says that I am off-line when every other streaming app works fine. Not only that when you try to reach out to Support they are completely unhelpful. I tried over the course of a month and a half to get resolution on this and every time they had me start over from the beginning of troubleshooting and asking the same basic questions over and over even though I had an open case number. Not only that, about a third of the time the only option for Support was the live chat which did not work properly on any device or laptop so there was no way to even report an issue. After spending over 40 hours over the course of the month and a half I finally gave up troubleshooting. For a while the app seemed to be improving, but now it’s right back to having a ton of buffering errors. Hope they really work on this, it’s the most frustrating Service I have ever used and I pay for both premium and no ads.

Streaming is decent. The streaming is okay. Haven’t had issues. I have issues with them imposing the app on us in order to watch the Premier League. How is it that so far we’ve HAD to stream to watch the champions of England play 2 of the top teams? The biggest games should be available on TV where the majority of people already pay to watch the EPL. Putting them on the Peacock app is pretty upsetting and likely an attempt to boost their subscriptions to justify putting more big games on the app after NBCSB Gold failed. Additionally, I can’t even use air play because it’s restricted and there’s no app for my 2019 samsung tv. Having a toddler and crawler, we keep wires hidden and out of reach. So, airplay alike is a must. But if I want to watch this on the tv, I have to bring wires out and end up spending half the time keeping the kids from grabbing the wires or pushing buttons on the laptop. Pretty big waste of money if you ask me. They pay insane amounts to win contracts to get the rights to the games but then want us to pay additional for the big matches in addition to the main channel that’s supposed to show the best games. ....It’s like if I pay for HBO but then forced to pay extra for Game of Thrones...oh, and I wouldn’t easily be able to watch it on my tv.

Peacock TV?! Yeah right.. So they bought out WWE Network, they segment the shows and present it like garbage in comparison to the previous app and then I try to watch a show, whilst containing as much rage as possible only to find disappointment. THE APP DOESNT SUPPORT HDMI PORTING! How can you have “TV” in your name AND NOT SUPPORT A WELL KNOWN AND QUITE COMMON TV STREAMING DEVICE?! “Peacock IPhone/Android” should be the name, otherwise it’s just false advertisement - if I can’t stream to my TV, this is the biggest digital wooden nickel situation I’ve ever found myself in. This is horrible. If you’re going to buy out the main streaming service to something that has a full blown culture behind the profession, then do your best to support it or otherwise give it to someone who has the gaul or even the slightest intention to do so. I’ll tell you one thing, my family can’t watch a cell phone together and it’s unreasonable to expect something so asinine. For such a selection of material to watch, I honestly can’t believe in 2021 this is an issue. Peacock “TV” - false. This is frankly pathetic and I won’t be renewing my subscription, hopefully someone who cares will do some justice to this completely ridiculous fumbling and vague handling of the term “TV” - television, as in NOT A PHONE. At best they’ll fix it because people had to complain, at worst WWE will have to stay with them and they’ll find some other way to be completely dysfunctional with an appropriate requisite. Dense.

Good Content, Sad App. I really enjoy a lot of the content on the platform so we keep using it… But the amount of times I’ve yelled at the tv that I hate this app is immeasurable. The UI just isn’t user friendly. It’s hard to tell what is actually selected at most times and if you scroll over when selecting episodes it often takes you completely out of the section you thought you were in. Just feels like the programmers haven’t ever actually used a streaming service. The final straw for me to write a review is that there’s no way to edit watch history or remove things from the continue watching section. We have completed all the seasons on a specific show with like 8 seasons and since it accidentally started over at season 1 episode 1 now it will forever be in my continue watching section. Just annoying things that could easily be fixed with some improvements that most other apps like it already offer. Hope they put the money we pay them towards improving the app at some point… or maybe we’ll just bail on subscribing.

Doesn’t even support TV playback. Barely has any channels for the Live TV section and the app doesn’t even support TV playback. For background noise and general television watching (I don’t watch much cable TV but I enjoy background noise during chores/work) I use the types of apps that give free TV. I have three of these apps and have used several others. Peacock’s layout and aesthetics best the other apps but overall the app does not. There are barely any channels and even though every single other app I’ve used supports screen playback through apple adapters, Peacock does not. It’s almost like they purposely ruined that part. If I’m trying to watch Live Tv: it stays a black screen with audio or completely freezes but if I click over to “movies” it’ll show on screen through the adapter. That’s pointless, I’m trying to watch live tv on tv. Every other app has more channels and allows the channels to be played through an adapter/outside source instead of freezing it. This means movies/shows/etc that aren’t live won’t work either (if they do then what’s the difference).

Rather clunky app. I am late getting the app. But after having it for about 4 months I am surprised by how poorly the app is designed and works. Take searches, very slow, and doesn’t automatically load suggestions as you type. Also, It is the slowest app on my iPad to open and load, I almost think it crashed with just those 6 dots floating. But then the app loads, only to take a long time to switch to another screen, like when browse is selected or opening settings. One would expect a better user interface and faster app coming out of an entertainment/tech company. Feels like the app isn’t a priority. Would be nice if it allowed for multiple “users” like spouse and kids as we like different shows. Lastly, they should re-think commercials. I’m not against commercials and like them if it means affordable subscriptions. But the commercials are too long. It’s not the good old days of network tv. They should redesign how commercials work for the modern age. Right now I just look at my phone during commercials. So, my conclusion is that it’s an app to go to when there is a show you want to watch, ie: Yellowstone, but not an app you GO TO to find something to watch. Good luck. You’re behind the eight ball and other apps are doing this a lot better.

Few shows and No Support. I tried Peacock Premium for a couple of days and it was nothing but problems and commercials. I started watching season one episode one of Capture. About halfway through I had to leave the TV for a few minutes. When I came back, the episode would not resume. I may repeated attempts but it just simply would not allow me to restart the episode. So, in desperation, I went into the episodes section of Capture and episode one had disappeared. In other words, once you start an episode of one of the shows, you have to finish that episode and you can’t watch it again later. That is stupid! Also, I tried watching some of the old comedies like 3rd rock from the sun. It seem like every couple of minutes they were commercials ranging from 30 seconds to 2 minutes that I couldn’t fast forward through so I had to watch them. This is so annoying and I simply decided it was better to not have peacock at all. Don’t waste your time or money on this streaming service.

Decent streaming service, TERRIBLE app. The streaming service itself is decent, but this review is for the app specifically (both iPad and Apple TV). For some annoying reason, the app uses its own player rather than the iOS one, which means you can’t use any of the iOS features such as Picture in Picture or AirPlay. When I have a keyboard connected, I can’t use the space bar to play or pause like I can in pretty much every other streaming app. If I pause the video and use another app and then come back, it can often take up to 15 seconds for the video to load again before I can play. My biggest complaint with the app/service is when auto playing the next episode, about 70% of the time the next episode will start somewhere in the middle and I have to manually rewind it back to the beginning. It’s a good thing I’m only re-watching a show I’ve already seen multiple times before so nothing gets spoiled for me, but if I were watching a new show and had something spoiled because of this bug, I would be very upset. All things considered, once I finish watching the show I’m currently watching, I’ll be canceling my Peacock subscription. The content available to stream does not outweigh the numerous annoyances and complaints I have with the apps.

Best of any streaming services. I love this app — I watch something from it every day. There are an astounding number of shows available at no recurring cost to me (I wait through 45 seconds of ads during a show’s normal commercial break). Other streaming services (cough cough Disney, CBS, etc. cough cough) have nearly everything trapped behind a paywall, and honestly I can’t afford 6 dollars here, 5 dollars there, every single month, to four or five streaming services. Frankly I do not want to sign up not only due to budget but from principle: when the writing hit the wall with companies pulling shows from Netflix to move them to their own premium streaming services, I said then that I wouldn’t sign up for multiple premium services because I saw it as the companies’ greed. And I don’t have to with Peacock, because they make so much available while being so reasonable with their consumers. So because of their model, this is one streaming service where I actually would sign up for premium just to support them.

Kept charging my card twice a month,Read below.. Let me start by saying I loved peacock. It was free. There was a selection of good shows here and there, you could also get a paid subscription. I tried it out. I didn’t use it often enough to keep paying for it so I canceled my subscription, they kept charging my card two times a month for $5.30. I know it doesn’t seem like much but that adds up every month. I called their customer service line. They looked into my account and said that I don’t have a paid subscription that I’m on a free subscription plan so I was like then why are you all charging my card two times in one month the same price they couldn’t figure it out. I told him just to cancel my subscription and any other subscription under my card number, and again they couldn’t because in their system it showed that I was under a free subscription plan. I tried everything to get them to stop charging my card for something that apparently I didn’t have I ended up having to cancel my card and get a new one so they would stop charging me. it’s unacceptable!!!!!!! are used to like peacock. anytime I see the name it irks me.🤬🤬🤬

No English Audio. Watching Yellowstone Season 3 Episode 5 and all of a sudden it switches to Spanish Audio. I attempt to go into closed captioned and make sure English subtitles and English Audio is selected and there is no English available. I go to the previous episode and see English audio is available. I go to the episode 6 and no English audio is available. I go out of Yellowstone and select BelAir and it plays English. I select another title and it plays English. I unplug the TV for 60 seconds, I then unplug the modem and routers, I delete the Peacock app and reinstall. I attempt to contact Peacock customer service and there are more than 99+ customers in front of me and then so get kicked out of que telling me no agents are available. I saved the transcript. I took screenshots of the issues. I have been troubleshooting for over an hour and a half. It does the same thing on all devices. I have a headache and I need to go trudge through the snow and cold now to take care of our own animals. Not a fan Peacock right now. Fix your glitch and when this stuff happens, you should be sending emails to your customers letting them know what’s going on and posting it on your website. We would like a free month for the aggravation and less than adequate customer service. Thank you.

I wish I could give this app less than 1 star. This app is a complete cash grab. They decided to split up Premier League coverage between Peacock and NBCSN. So now you need two different subscriptions to watch games. To make it worse, you can’t stream from your iPad or iPhone to your television. It’s just completely baffling to me why they’re making it harder to watch these games. I remember being so pleased with NBCSN’s coverage of the premier league when they first started a few years ago. Now, I can’t wait for another network to pick up the deal. The constant division of all these apps you need just to watch your games/shows is exhausting for the consumer. I’m sure in a few years NBC will come out with yet another app requiring another monthly subscription. “Download Peacock 1 to watch the first half of this soccer game, and make sure to download Peacock 2 to watch the second half!!! Each one is only $7.99/month!!! Post match coverage will be on NBCSN Gold, so make sure you’re subscribed to that as well, which is on top of your subscription to NBC Sports!” Meanwhile NBC is wondering why people pirate everything online. I know I’m just a lowly consumer, but I think if you make it easier to watch what we want, that’s how you gain customer loyalty. NBC is doing the opposite of this. Thanks NBC. Very cool.

NBC: Notoriously Blatant Cringe. I’m only 31 but, even in my lifetime, I have never seen a downfall of quality so steep since the Detroit Lions going nowhere with Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson. The Office was the last great show on there. NBC knows that, and that’s why the company shoves it down everyone’s throats to this day. The comedy is so terrible, I’ve recently found TikTok creators I would highly compare their greatness to Bill Murray and Adam Sandler. For the last ten years, I’ve come to the conclusion that Lorne Michaels either has dementia or is such a dull boomer because he’s the only person in the world that finds Seth Meyers funny. This is the same Lorne Michaels that vouched for Jimmy Fallon to be the successor of Jay Leno and the new host of the American classic “The Tonight Show”. This is the same Lorne Michaels that banked the future of his legacy Saturday Night Live on droll and out-of-touch losers, such as Mikey Day, Bowen Yang, and Cecily Strong. Here is a warning to anyone who wants to go into show business and still have a single shred of dignity in their lives: DO NOT WORK FOR NBC AND ANY COMPANY THAT THEY OWN! You might as well work on The Daily Show with South Africa’s Least Funniest Person, who makes Die Antwoord seem like that country’s Abbott and Costello.

What is this, the year 2000?. This app is the absolute WORST app I have dealt with in 20 years. Whoever the hell designed this app needs to be fired and seriously consider a career change. Unless you have a very specific device to stream this service on, GOOD LUCK. First, getting it to play on our tv was like attempting brain surgery as a GED drop-out. Second, the content struggles to play worse than a no-armed wrestler. Third, if the app fails to load after commercials it just reverts back to the previous stopping point. This happened 3 straight times before we just gave up. That’s when I started searching for and easily finding reviews saying the exact same things over and over and over. A show that should have taken an hour to watch took over an hour and 45 min to finish. I’d rather buy every single show and movie on this app (from another service) rather than attempt to watch them on Peacock FOR FREE. Anyone considering Peacock, RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN. If somehow this review makes it to anybody in the tv/movie industry, pull your content from this app before people start turning their crosshairs on you! Take this thing out back and put a bullet in it, put us ALL out of our misery. HORRIBLE!!!!

Clunky, slow app. Not gonna pay just for the Office.. I love The Office. And Parks & Rec. But there are just way too many steaming services now and paying for all of them to watch one or two shows is just ridiculous. So I’m not paying for this one. The free content on Peacock is abundant, but it’s mostly shows that no one wants to watch or that you can watch for free on the Hallmark Channel or wherever they now show Murder She Wrote. Not exactly cutting edge programming. If this was an excellent app, I might have been interested. But it is clunky to operate, not very intuitive, and slow. So. Slow. It can take 5+ minutes to search for, find, and start playing a show. All while I’m watching those little rainbow dots go in circles. And the app freezes and crashes a lot. Not usually during a show, but definitely a lot while navigating the app and searching. We have super fast internet (more than a gig in speed to our house) and have no problem getting Netflix or Prime to load fast. Even CBS All Access is faster. Personally, I hope we will soon see consolidation in this space so we can see our favorite shows without having to subscribe to a dozen different services. And as those apps compete against each other, Peacock will not be a winner. NBC, you gave it a try. Now I hope you will license your best shows to Netflix and let us watch while you earn royalties for doing nothing.

Could be better with a few easy tweaks. I like peacock it’s a decent platform but there’s a few setbacks versus other apps… first, you can’t turn off auto play in settings. This I find very annoying as I can’t play my shows on my bedroom tv at night in fear that I’ll fall asleep & it’ll just keep playing & playing & playing. I can’t think of 2 other streaming apps off the top of my head where you can turn it off & it even remembers which device (i.e. it auto plays on my living room tv but then on my bedroom tv it doesn’t) This is such a stellar feature so especially with NBC pulling their shows off of all other platforms this is a huge let down that it doesn’t have this capability. Also, on the Apple TV the fast forward/backward AND play/pause tend to seriously lag. I watch tv with my mom once a week who lives far away & again on almost every other platform I can audibly get us in sync. Thanks to this lag it’s virtually impossible on the peacock app which is again very annoying. Otherwise the content is amazing & the rest of the app works well but when comparing it to others it does have shortcomings.

Reviews paid for. Read the 5 star reviews because these overly happy people sound like they work for NBC (probably paid for). App is absolute garbage and the fact that I have to pay $10 to watch legitimately ONLY the Office (without ad’s) is just stupid. Not even worth it for Premier League because they separate everything. This service needs to fail; point blank. NBC boasts 25 million subscribers but refuses to tell anyone how many people are actually paying outside of the free subscriptions. That should be the only sign you need to understand it’s pretty sub par in terms of content and it’s delivery of said content. Not too mention Xfinity users were auto-signed up for the service. There’s probably millions who didn’t sign up but had it free with their Xfinity cable package. Peacock is a cash grab & they needed the office to boost their numbers. They won’t turn a profit this year or next and will hopefully die out. It’s a useless service that has very few shows/movie they could have made more money from simply leasing the rights out (the office). Let it die off so the consumer can get back to watching NBC owned content from competent streaming giants with already proven models and care for their consumers. Save your money.

Needs some quality of life improvements.. This is probably my favorite streaming app just because of the shows. But design and usability is great!! Except for a few things… finding shows and movies in your library is harder than it should be. And going to episodes is super unintuitive. It takes you to season one episode one, you have to scroll left all the way until you find where you are, and if you’re trying to figure out if you’ve seen the episode, there’s no way to read a description without clicking on an episode. But than if you want to just scrub to the middle to see if you’ve seen it, you always always always have to watch at least 45 seconds of commercials. Even if you just need to see five seconds. Also… don’t fall asleep while watching because it doesn’t pause after a few episodes like Netflix. I played through almost two seasons because I fell asleep and it kept playing all night. Yeah so if they fix these things, than I’ll give Peacock like a 4.7 out of 5. Super super good.

Sadly missing basic video playback features its competitors have. I noticed that Peacock is starting to get 4k/UHD content which has interested me in actually using this streaming service (because video quality matters in today's day and age), but its implementation is incredibly poor. I use an Apple TV 4K, and one of the best features on the device is the ability to "Match Content" and "Match Frame Rate." This allows apps to tell the Apple TV to change its frame rate and dynamic range output to match that of its video source. This is great because 24hz content is not sent over a 60hz signal and causing judder, and SDR content is not being sent to the TV as an HDR signal or vice versa. The Peacock app does not take advantage of this feature though, which means if I want 24fps HDR content to display at the proper frame rate and dynamic range then I have to manually change my system settings before going into the Peacock app. This is not a friendly design. A massive company like Comcast/Universal should want their content to display properly on devices. It's very disappointing that this is a product they feel is acceptable while virtually every other streaming service allows for this feature.

App issues. I was so excited to become a Peacock Premium member so that I could enjoy shows like New Girl and Chicago PD, but I’ve quickly switched to disappointed. The app is constantly glitching while I watch shows, which results in me having to reboot the app several times per use. For example, if I’m watching season 1, episode 1 of a show, it will randomly glitch and jump forward to the next episode without warning. Then, when I go to the episode list to backtrack, the episode list is out of order and I’ve lost all progress on that episode. When I click back on the episode I was watching, it automatically starts a countdown to skip to the next episode and even though I click “cancel” it jumps ahead two episodes. Then it kicks me out of the episode list and makes me start the process again. It’s been incredibly frustrating, and I’ve tried everything I can think of to help the system reset: my app is updated, I’ve restarted my phone, used Wi-Fi and data, rebooted the app, and nothing works. I’ve already cancelled my premium subscription so that it will not renew after this month, unfortunately

Full of glitches! First world problems…but still... The problem with this app is that it glitches constantly, even after being updated. The main issue is that it constantly loses track of what I’m currently watching. Normally when streaming content you’re able to come and go as you please, and the program keeps track of your progress. That way when you come back everything is right where you left off. However the Peacock app is noticeably bad at doing it’s job in that regard. Whether I’m starting up the app for the first time that day, or if I’m simply juggling multiple apps at once. There’s a good chance Peacock resets my progress on an episode, and even sets me back or forward by 1 episode. Perhaps even worse is the ad situation. Although I do believe the payment options match the content they unlock, there’s still an issue: If you pause during the ads and come back late enough for the ad to reload, the entire ad replays! No one wants to pay to see 75 second ads twice in a row. The bottom line is if I’m going to PAY for a service and STILL VIEW ADS, it should at least be fair, consistent and user-friendly.

Big ten not working for osu games.. As stated above the night before on the big 10 it shows me the game and the time. On game day it’s not there it’s not a option. I’ve tried chatting with two people to get help. The first guy after 20 minutes or so told me I needed to get ahold of Big Ten Network. I tried couldn’t find a way to connect with them. I went to chat with Peacock a second time. They informed me that I do have the subscription through them. I asked for a phone number they said they didn’t have one. So I texted back and forth and it took several minutes between texts. At one point it said due to inactivity the chat would be closed. Now this was while I was trying to do more research online and switch between the two. Now it took them several minutes to get back to me and that’s ok? After explaining that I needed to go somewhere and didn’t want the chat started over it disconnected me. I’m not sure if that was the representative or just a coincidence. I just want to be able to watch the OSU Buckeye games. That was one of the main reasons I started the subscription to Peacock. I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling. I can’t figure out what’s going on.

The app is an atrocity, and don’t get me started on their customer service.. Yesterday I purchased a premium subscription so I could watch the newly released Halloween. I used Apple Pay and my card was successfully charged. Eager to watch the film, I rush over and press “watch” only to find myself forwarded to the “purchase a premium subscription” screen. No big deal right? The app was probably just glitching out or something. Well, I head over to peacock’s web page and it’s doing the exact same thing: telling me that I need to purchase premium. Oddly enough when I try purchasing it over again, it prompts me with a subscription renewal message! So, do I have it or don’t I?! If that wasn’t enough of a headache, my experience only got worse. Customer service is non-existent here. The online chat is a bot that tells you to wait for an agent but it’s a lie: you won’t get a hold of anyone. So, if you’re having any issues with charges you’ll have to take them up with apple or your bank. If you’re having issues with the service itself? Well, that will never be resolved seeing as though peacock is a blank faced entity that is apparently run by nobody. I will never be subscribing to this service ever again.

Great library, doesn’t deserve it.. I HATE Peacock more than anything. It’s got an amazing library but it absolutely doesn’t deserve it. It’s such an awful streaming platform. When we try to watch it on our smart tv, some shows automatically play with descriptive audio and no matter what we do we can’t fix it other than to have to turn it off at the beginning of every episode. You can’t press the “next episode” button at the bottom of the screen while you’re currently watching because the screen will go completely black and you’ll have to go to the settings on your tv and force stop the app and restart. You can’t fast forward/backward frame by frame. It automatically quick scrolls and makes it difficult for you to know where you want to stop. On mobile devices you need to keep pressing the +/- 15 buttons instead of being able to double tap either side of the screen like better streaming services allow you to do. It crashes constantly. I have so much more to say about why I hate this service but it would become a 10,000 word essay. I’m tired of this app. Wish it didn’t take all the good shows from Netflix.

App is Unreliable/No Desire to Fix. Update: A new issue today is that I can access content, but nothing will play and no screen controls respond. Again, on my iPhone. It is absolutely ridiculous that a “premium” app has this many issues. I should not have these issues when I am paying what I pay each month. As I can read on the App Store, these are widespread, known issues that Peacock is choosing not to fix. At this point, with these widespread issues, customers should be contacting the FCC and CFPB to get our issues resolved since Peacock is more interested in stealing than making a usable product. ———————- Original Review: Content library is pretty good, although I’d like to see all NBC shows in one place. Automatically playing content I haven’t selected (after a movie ends, for example), and inability to remove content from my “currently watching” area is annoying. BUT that doesn’t really matter, because at the moment the app is unusable. For the past few weeks, the app is not reliable. Sometimes it opens and plays fine. Other times, I am stuck on a screen with six bouncing dots. Usual fixes (power off/on, delete and reinstall app, etc.) don’t work. Peacock support has absolutely zero interest in fixing this issue. Their only suggestion is to use another device, as if people have unlimited devices laying around. I pay for this service, if it’s “Premium”, it should work.

Auto play feature is the worst - Otherwise 5 stars. Once you finish watching the newest episode of a show… peacock will auto start another show for you (Possibly one you’ve already watched at that). While a thoughtful gesture if that show starts it will sit in your recently played field until the end of time taking up space for shows you actually want to see there. It does give you a 3 second warning to cancel but hardly time to pick up the remote before some bomb of a show starts. I’d like to see the current show continue to play on as a auto play feature but when forcefully switching to another show completely please SHUT THIS OFF and I remind again you it will start shows you’ve already watched as well so that when a new season/episode does starts your recently watched thinks you back on episode 1 and not listing the most current for you to watch. In short use logical thinking about the auto play feature… I’m kindly begging 🙏🏽 Content is amazing and no complaints otherwise! Thank you!

Horrible Experience. When paying for a streaming ads should not appear... ever. Now that NBC acquired WWE, things are only going to get worse for wrestling fans. Forget about being able to seamlessly comb through the rich history of wrestling like on the WWE Network because on Peacock there’s only a fraction of of what the WWE network had and NBC will not deliver more content until August (and that’s after they edit and remove content NBC doesn’t approve of). If you want to skip ahead to a certain match, well, you’re going to have to sit through 30-60 seconds of commercials each time you scan back or ahead. Aside from the time waiting for ads that only make you hate the product are finished playing and lack of wrestling content, NBC’s “woke police” are combing through the entire WWE Network catalogue and removing whatever doesn’t meet 2021’s “standards”, so expect many memorable events in wrestling history to either be omitted or edited by NBC. If Peacock removed ads for premium subscribers and brought in everything the WWE Network catalogue contained and more, then this app might be worth continuing, until then, Peacock is a clunky mess of an app.

false advertisement. i had originally downloaded this app on my tv to watch the harry potter movies that were advertised for free, then i later realized that the movies were taken off of the platform. so i had just forgotten about the app. then i had found out that Peacock was streaming all episodes of The Office for free...or so i thought. after watching the first two seasons of the show, i was surprised that i found out that i had to pay $4.99 a month to finish the rest of the show. when Peacock had advertised their app, they said that EVERYTHING; absolutely everything would be free..later on this was too good to be true, because i had to pay to watch certain shows. basically, this would be considered a scheme or scam. while i was on the platform watching shows, there were ad breaks. i’m fine with ad breaks, it’s just that the ads were placed randomly throughout a show or movie. these ads were not placed in their designated “ad break cuts”. they were often placed in between sentences or in the middle of a scene. overall this app is not what you think it is. it is just a scam. i advise you to NOT waste your money on this platform, there are many other alternatives.

Great Accessibility Progress. I am pleased to say that the Peacock app is much more accessible with screen readers than before and I thank anyone who has helped to make this happen. I have only noticed one small glitch in the current version. If you are playing a video and press the audio subtitles button, VoiceOver will not display the available options. It only gives you an option to dismiss the menu. I also noticed that in both the app and website that audio description will not stay on. Every time you open the browser or app to resume a show, and when the next episode plays automatically, the audio track defaults back to original English, meaning that you need to manually enable audio description for every episode. It would be incredibly helpful if description were to automatically stay enabled for specific profiles, and only default to original when someone disables description or switches profiles. Thank you for reading and considering.

Omg. Why is there not a 4Th? Y’all’s fans absolutely love this love saga/film series or whatever they’re calling it these days. Please come out with a 4th to end the saga completely! So we can see y’all’s life after kids and with kids etc. and so on and so forth. Freed ended in a way to were they should be another, it left us all on our toes and at the edge of our seat. P.S. I watch this every Valentine’s Day since the day the first film came out to public! It’s a thing I don’t feel normal without watching every single film of fifty shades on or before VDAY. Not being weird or none of the sort with all my chattery, I’m just so in love with everything about this saga/film series. It makes my heart happy,confident sad,confused,loving,caring,emotional,frustrated. I could go on but I won’t I’ll leave it at that. Thank you for sharing with the world such and amazing saga we are truly greatful! Love all the cast and producers they done amazing!

Frustrating experience. I am a premium subscriber and find the user experience very disappointing and frustrating. The latest issue is with the sound. For live news streaming (for which I pay a premium), there is background sound and music but no voices. It’s like no one’s mic is working. This started earlier in the week and after contacting customer service (which is a challenge unto itself), there was a lot of back-and-forth with them asking questions, me emailing answers, then more questions from them, more answers from me. Over a period of days. It’s clear they wanted to make this a problem on my end, when every other app I use on AppleTV and my iPhone work just fine. Then, as if by magic, the sound was healthy again two nights ago. Customer service had no idea what happened on their end to fix it. This morning the problem is back, so here we go again, around and around with no idea on their end. I find it hard to believe I’m the only user having this issue; why aren’t they talking internally to get the problem fixed? If you’re trying to decide between Peacock and another network’s app, I’d suggest you go with the other one.

Deleting content out of no where.. I had been using Peacock for a while now to watch some older content. After seeing some advertisements about older shows such as Twilight and fifty shades of gray and Harry Potter, i decided to purchase a subscription. I was very thrilled to rewatch all these for many platforms don't have all these together. I started Twilight yesterday and continued watching in the next day for there is 4-5 different movies to the series. But today in the middle of watching it I peacock kicked me off the platform and rebooted itself and I could no longer FIND twilight in the search bar or my most recently watched. It literally disappeared. I checked it on the tv because I have a roku connection to the same peacock account as well and I could no longer find it. I am very disappointed and annoyed due to the fact that I just signed up 3 days ago for the peacock subscription and now these shows that were advertised are magically gone. Before signing up the subscription indicated that I will have access to all content with ads since I only paid for the 4.99 subscription. What is going on? Why did twilight disappear from your content and also there's absolutely no way I could get a hold of customer service for you only provide a robot that's doesn't lead you anywhere.

Terrible tvOS app. If I could avoid using peacock, I would, but there are too many good shows. However, it is still a painfully bad experience. On iOS/iPadOS there is no Picture in Picture support, which is very annoying, and sometimes the audio breaks and I have to exit the thing I’m watching and reopen it. That is annoying, but not too bad. tvOS is the real problem. It works terribly with the new Siri remote. Normally you can go back or forward ten seconds, but with the new Siri remote there is no way to do that. Clicking the forward and back buttons will bring up an orange symbol to go back or forward 10 seconds, but it won’t do anything, and it won’t go away until you tap somewhere else on the remote. If I had this problem in any other app, it would be slightly annoying, but I would just use the normal method of swiping (or rotating with the new circle gesture on the new Siri remote) to get where I need to go. Not only does peacock not support the new circle gesture, the swiping is terrible. This is probably the biggest problem with peacock. Tiny finger movements that would get me forward or back 4 seconds or so in the Apple TV app do nothing. But as soon as I start swiping my finger enough for peacock to react, it moves too fast for me to get even close to what I want. I can end up full minutes away from my target. This has been a problem with the old and new Siri remote, and it needs to be fixed.

Terrible App. I need to start this by saying the content on Peacock is AMAZING!!!! I will not stop putting poor reviews on this app though. Watch it on your tv or anything other than a phone. I am literally watching shows and having them stop randomly and the next episode starts 5-10 minutes of an episode starting. I have shows I have watched before that I listen to while at work and can’t even begin to describe the pure anger and hatred I have towards this app when it changes to another episode without any prompting whatsoever. Please just fix this app. I don’t understand how not a single other streaming service I have has this problem except Peacock which, unfortunately for me, is the one I want to watch the most. DAILY it is cutting the the next episode of a show I’m watching within 15 minutes of it even starting. I really just need you guys to hear this so you can (hopefully) fix it. If I were ever to stop subscribing to peacock it would be purely based on the poor performance of the app and nothing else because the content on here is everything I and my family want. Like I’ve said in my past reviews of this app, FIX THE APP!!!!!

I can’t rate or review in app 😭so I am going to do it right here. I am reviewing twisted metal not the app even though it’s good to twisted metal has no right being this good and being free view I absolutely love sweettooth I would like to see him a little more crazy in season two if we are lucky enough I seen the people talking about it and never expected it to actually happen I’m actually surprised having two people playing two parts of the same character actually works so well hopefully we get at lest 10 seasons since theses. No talking yet of a new game we can at least watch the adventures of sweettooth and friends 😂 I wish that it would have longer episodes and more of them going forward maybe make some new characters new maps if I had my way I would have the undertaker play the reaper I am loving the soundtrack takes me back to my teenage years hoping and praying and WISHING for more seasons keep em coming

Continued Watching List (CWL). I let me just first say that I love and use this app daily. However, I can’t give 5 stars because of a small but annoying problem… the Continued Watching List (CWL) I’ve accidentally clicked on shows and movies that start playing and it ends up on the CWL There are a few shows/movies that sound good but then I once I watch one or two episodes or the beginning a movie and then don’t like it. Then I’m stuck with it on the CWL. I know that I can just skip to the end and that clears it for CWL but that only works for movies and shows that are no longer airing new episodes. I know any others will agree that it is just annoying. Other streaming services have the option to clear a show or movie from their CWLs so I know that it can be done. On some other platforms you can either/or just remove it while using the app where as others you may have to use their websites to remove them. From the Millions of users of this app please add this feature and let us have a better experience with what is otherwise a great app.

Molly Tidbit. I’ve been watching your Date Line programs for years !! I’m very, very sympathetic, and it saddens my soul that we live in a world of such tragedy. It saddens me that this happens so much and nothing can ever change!!! I wish there was something that this young people would learn about protecting themselves!! I’m a retired Corrections Officer. I was proud to prove that tiny me could even graduate from the training. I did it and I was proud of myself. The best part of it all was the 30 day training and self defense training that I learned. EVERY WOMAN SHOULD LEARN SELF DEFENSE, BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS AT ALL TIMES TO BE SAFE!!!! If all of us paid more attention to our surroundings, NOT SO INVOLVED WITH OUR PHONES, I think you’d find that you would not have to continue with these SAD PROGRAMS!!!!!!! I’m sad that this continues to go on…..makes me not want to live anymore in this world!!!!!

Hate this app hi, this is JJ. I do not I repeat I do not like this app at all.. I have this Peacock app. And it is not working! I have the iPhone 12 pro max. And they should work on every phone. This is a waste of space on my phone. And it is free. But this doesn’t make any sense. I am not happy with this at all. I repeat I am not happy with this at all just worked on my iPhone XR which is my 10. And it also worked on my 11. But it’s not working on my 12 promax. So therefore I’m taking this off my phone. However I will give you my email. I wanna know what is wrong with this app. I think no I repeat this is a scam if it’s not working. You may email me. Or One last thing I forgot to tell you. I put in both emails I have two and both of them do not work. I even change my password. That doesn’t work either. Like I said, this is a waste of space. send me a reply back some kind away. Or I wanna know what’s going on with this app I did like it, but it’s not working correctly. Once again this is JJ very frustrated

Terrible functionality - great variety if it would even play. Was excited when I downloaded and logged into the app, until I started watching Yellowstone. The app on my PS4 freezes nearly every time I pause, rewind, or fast forward. Occasionally, it will just stop mid episode and I will be unable to resume from where I left off. At first I thought it was just an issue with an episode of Yellowstone so I started the new Downton Abbey movie to have it shut off a few minutes into the movie, got it to resume to have it fail a few minutes later and when I tried to resume it restarted the movie. Tried to fast forward to where I was and it froze and shut down the app. I wish I could get the refund for the month I just paid for but I’m out the money and have access to a crappy app until the end of July. I 100% recommend not paying for this service until they figure out how to make it work correctly. I now see in the comments plenty of people have rated this app a 5 star/4 star but they have the same complaints.

No actual support?. The app keeps crashing on the PS4, my phone and tablet. At times episodes don’t even load or play. I’m disappointed that the WWE moved to Peacock as their app was far superior. I tried calling nbc in New York and left a message last week. No response. My 8 year old daughter also created a free account at school and watched tv during her lunch at school and she complained of issues with it not working… There’s no age requirement for signing up. There are significant issues with the app constantly that my family is paying the premium plus subscription for… Where can I get actual technical support? I’ve followed the recommendations on the website… clearing cache and data, uninstalling, reinstalling… our internet is good and other streaming apps don’t have these issues. I was upset initially because there’s no option to pay for the year subscription in advance even though it’s advertised—I liked that initially since the WWE app was discontinued. It’s not an available option anywhere on the website. Now I’m glad I didn’t…

Bugs, Clutter - the app is getting worse. It’s great that Peacock added audio descriptions for accessibility, but it should be left an *option* only. The app is now defaulting to “English AD” when I try to watch it on my TV and IT IS DRIVING ME INSANE. I can turn it off, but if I pause the episode it reverts back to audio descriptions — and every time a new episode starts, it again reverts back to audio descriptions. I am not visually impaired and don’t need this feature. Apparently this has been an issue for YEARS. What gives, Peacock?! Just fix it!! On top of that, the app has become so cluttered that I can barely find the shows I want to watch. Instead of leaving the Continue Watching section at the of the screen where it belongs, I’m now bombarded with a billion ads for Bravo shows that I have zero interest in ever watching. It would be fine if I could customize my screen or if they’d let me dismissed suggested shows, but no. I have to scroll through a bunch of junk trying to find what I actually want to watch. I am so close to just cancelling my subscription at this point. The app is an absolute mess.

Overall. PEACOCK Streaming has got some OK and alright things going on but overall it’s lacking. Access is spotty at best and constant: “we’re having trouble with that video right now” or “try again later”. This being the 21st century and staying up with the times, I just bought the 85” Flag ship model from Sony, so I know that I have the best out there. I have had spectrum out 6 times to verify that the speed is spot on too. Still I have streaming issues that doesn’t show on my other 9 streaming services. Come on Peacock let’s get it together! You “may” put a lot of money into your programs, but if your content is spotty at best then you are not up where the others are and you’re claiming to be top tier but producing mid grade “CW” type broadcasting. Currently you are NOT worth the monthly amount your charging, but you could be. Try thinking about more entertainment and less about being “PC” about everything, because that just makes people roll their eyes and switch channels. For 30 years I have given my thoughts on programs and show, and I’m about 95% correct about show/movies that have made it big and those that would be flops. Sometimes I just see something, sometimes that others don’t and that’s how I come to my conclusions. Remember: Entertainment = people watching and talking about it, while Politically Correct = people talking a bit about it, but not watching. Kyle Byron Orand

Very Frustrating and extremely disappointing. It’s ridiculous that I’ve had the app on my phone for sometime and now when I pull it up it states to update new version. Takes me to my App Store and try to update its states the app needs IOS 13, my phone does not support IOS 13. I have an iPhone 6, which does not IOS update available. It’s so frustrating when you’ve been able to get the app and now it’s just not available for anyone with a phone that doesn’t support iPhone 6. Not everybody can afford a newer phone!! I biggest frustration is I pay the upgrade for peacock!! Its extremely difficult to understand why you guys changed it, no doubt you knew that would limit who could download the peacock app!! I guess I have to cancel my subscription!!! Thanks a lot!!!!

Sports content layout could be better. I subscribed to peacock for FIS ski racing. I enjoy all of the content but have a couple small issues. The most recent race is placed at the very end so if I want to watch a replay of the Jan 8 GS race I have to start in October and go through all the races to get to it. Kind of annoying on the Apple TV. Coverage of FIS racing is split up into first and second runs which is understandable but this morning I watched part of the replay of a first run and didn’t get to the live coverage of the second run in time before it concluded. No way to watch the second run until they put up the replay, which seems like it’s taking a really long time. In the meantime they posted short “highlight” reels with info that spoils the results of the race right in the headline. Overall I’m glad that these events are available to watch at all in the US and hope that Peacock continues or even expands its coverage.

Latest Update is broken. I’ve been using Peacock for over a year without any problems. I upgraded to the newest release and get a “something went wrong message”. Uninstalled and reinstalled and same thing happens plus now I get a prompt to upgrade to premium. I’m already a premium subscriber. This release was supposed to fix bugs but it is one big bug. Update: After receiving an email from Peacock regarding a new device trying to access the service after my reinstall I looked at the location in the email. The location was not correct and I realized I had my VPN turned on. I of course leave the VPN on 24x7. I turned it off and Peacock worked fine. They need to allow the service to work with VPN especially if you are paying for the service. Updated service to 4 stars. We don’t have cable so have been enjoying the Olympics with it.

LOVE the content, but problems with playback. Go team 🌈Peacock 🦚 for providing AWESOME content — all my favorite Bravo shows, every season, even every season of Bethany’s spin offs! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I also love the variety of Indie movies with great celebs and directors! 🥳🥳🥳 Now — the problem with playback. When I watch Peacock on my TV through my Xfinity connected set top/DVR cable box, everything works fine. No problems with the time tracking, (ie if you are 30 mins into watching the program, it accurately displays the progress). BUT — while watching the same show or movie on my iPad or iPhone (not necessarily picking up where I left off on one device and watching it on another — that works great and is an awesome feature!), I can be 30 mins into a show, yet the progress bar is stuck on the time from the last commercial break. Then if I try to rewind, it makes me watch the entire commercial break AGAIN. It has happened where I wind up being forced to watch more commercial time than actual content time in one 30 minute show!! Also, sometimes I will get all the way to the end of a program, and it won’t auto start the next episode. Any progression feature (rewind, FF, etc) tapped will trigger ANOTHER commercial break!! Lastly, can’t you remove commercials altogether for premium subscribers? Hopefully this progression issue gets fixed QUICKLY 🙏🏼🙏🏼! It’s REALLY ANNOYING to have to sit through so many commercials every time you rewind!!

Don’t bother for Olympics (or probably anything else?). Checked out free version which showed some (but not all) replayed events, but delayed. Looked all over and there was no good info about what I’d get by paying for premium. Upgraded to premium and there are the same delays for the same limited replay options. A little upset, but not surprised since I’ve had the same awful experience with NBC SportsGold app for cycling (which has been canceled and migrated to PeacockTV). Now I’m attempting to replay the Olympic Men’s Mountain Bike race (Women’s race isn’t even available for replay!?) and find I can’t screen mirror from the app on my iPhone or from my MacBook Pro (to a 3rd gen AppleTV). Ok, so I’ll just watch it on my MacBook’s screen - yeah, made it 5:06 into the replay and it’s stuck. I can keep replaying the first bit, but that’s as far as it’ll go. At least it was only $4.99, but NBC isn’t going to get another month out of me. Will squeeze as much crappy coverage as possible over the next two weeks and then cancel for good. Nope, I’m not signing up for cable just to watch two weeks every two years.

The Office is life. I will do anything to watch my beloved office. Upon paying for peacock o found they had superfan episodes. If you’re a superfan it’s a must to get peacock and watch them. So many little cut scenes in the normal show that didn’t make sense will now! I have one problem with peacock but it’s a big problem.. So if you binge watch seasons you go episode to episode. Netflix has this down to a science, I could fall asleep to my favorite show. With Peacock that’s not happening no matter what you do. Once you’ve watched an episode once it will PERMANENTLY stay put at the last 2-3 seconds. So unless you have ninja reflexes on each episode you are forced to go through this convoluted and very frustrating process EACH episode just to get it to play from the beginning. It’s made me dislike the app entirely but I still use it cause it’s the only way to watch The Office

You can’t scroll forwards or backwards on Apple TV app. Episodes almost never start where you left off, the app will randomly crash, but the worst thing has got to be not being able to scroll ahead or back, so if your episode doesn’t start where you left off, you have to fast forward ten seconds at a time until you catch up. I tried to finish a movie I had stopped an hour in and had to skip forward ten seconds at a time. I’ll do the math for you, that is 360 times I had to press skip. I thought it might be my Apple TV or the remote, but scrolling works fine with all other apps. Also, when a commercial starts it often just sits there with a spinning circle of doom and you have to hit skip forward ten seconds to start the commercial. When you pause it, you can’t just press play to start it again, you have to click fast forward or rewind and start ten seconds forwards or backwards. This is basic stuff. The library is great, but the app is way behind everyone else. FIX THIS.

needs massive improvement. it only gets a start because of its monopoly on the office and parks and rec, otherwise it’s the lowest quality of all platforms: no PiP (play in picture or whatever it is when you click the home button and the video continues to play in the background/corner of your phone), difficult search/browse option that doesn’t deliver at all (searched the office first thing and nothing came up in either of their catalog options so i had to manually scroll through the entire app to find two shows i wanted to watch), seemingly error ridden stream/playback quality (typically i can stream netflix/disney+ without any buffering issues, however on here there’s not been a 20 minute long episode yet where it hasn’t stopped to buffer or simply couldn’t play the feed at all) and finally the cost of the AD FREE service itself; if any updates or such bug fixes could be addressed and reviewed i’m sure it would be a sustainable app, but the poor features brings its rate down severely and therefore make it a disappointment

Frustrating. I’ve had more loading delays and playback issues with Peacock than all my other streaming apps combined. 95% of the time the movie/show takes so long to load that my screen shuts off. On top of that, the appeal of paying for a streaming service is not having to watch 3 minutes of ads 4-6 times per movie. Yes, for $10 you can forego the ads but honestly what Peacock has to offer isnt WORTH $10 a month. I only subscribe to the apps $4.99 premium plan when there is a few movies I really wanna watch without renting on Prime Video, then as soon as Ive watched them I immediately unsubscribe. The shows aren’t great, the new movie selection is pretty slim Pickens and they aren’t very good most the time. I hate to rate this app 1/5 but a higher rating would be sacrificing truth on the alter of kindness. The only reason I wrote this review is because I’ve been waiting 15 minutes for a movie to load and it decided to ask me, in the middle of me waiting 15 minutes for the 3 minutes of ads before my movie to start, how I was liking the app and what I’d rate it. Lol so there y’a go. 1/5

Absolutely love using this, although I wish some former WWE Network app features were available. As a former subscriber of WWE Network since it’s launch in 2014, I automatically subscribed to Peacock when the 🇺🇸version of the standalone WWE Network closed on Easter 2021. I absolutely love everything about it, it’s the same service but only distributed through a new platform. Although I do wish that Peacock had some features that WWE Network had, such as, a way to disable autoplay completely as well as a way to clear out your viewing activity so that your continue watching category wasn’t so long and cluttered up. Hopefully these will be recommended and considered in a later app update. I also love being able to have tons of non wrestling related content available as well. So far so good have the app on both my iPhone XR as well as my Apple TV 4K and it runs smoothly on both devices.

Streaming quality is good, UX is completely goofy.. Clearly not an app company…. The streaming works fine if/when you can find you content and if/when the content is available. They spent a ton of money and time of beautiful imagery and about zero on usability. The UX is best described as goofy. Examples: 1. Can’t sort your content. And the default sort makes little sense. It appears to be ordered by how you add it. For sports this is goofy. My stuff for the rugby World Cup is not ordered by schedule or by team or by pool. Just by when I clicked the add button. Goofy. 2. Wanted to watch a match that had already started from the beginning. No option. The service just takes you to the live portion. If you are lucky you will land at a point when the score isn’t shown and be able to rewind. Goofy. 3. Watching live, paused. Came back later to continue and had to find the “Replay” version which did not remember where is was. Goofy. 4. Was watching Scotland earlier today. Came back to watch the rest and it says “Event Concluded” but there’s no way to watch it anymore. Have to wait an indeterminate amount of time because the “Replay” is not yet available. Goofy. 5. Channels. These are not channels. The majority are simply stream of existing series. Yes, the have a “Modern Family” channel and run episodes — not ones you pick, ones they pick. Goofy. All in all very clear that no one at Peacock watches sports.

Constant Problems. Out of all the streaming services I use, Peacock is my absolute least favorite. I constantly have issues with streaming, right now I’m trying to watch The Office (which is the ONLY reason why I have Peacock) and it sent me to the login screen, I entered my login and it starts to load the home page and then goes right back to the login screen. I’ve also had difficulty with loading videos, sometimes it randomly loses connection with the wifi even while all my other tabs are working, sometimes it gets stuck in this loop on the same page and I have to exit the tab and open a new tab to get to any other show, sometimes when I’m watching seasons on repeat the next episode will start like a minute from the end of the episode and sometimes goes through four or five episodes in the span of 5 minutes, it’s seriously so frustrating. I just want to watch The Office and it’s way more difficult than it should be sometimes. So yeah 3/10 wouldn’t recommend. I mean sometimes it works and it has The Office so I guess it’s not a complete 0.

Peacock has been great, except for a few things.. When I first bought the peacock subscription I never had any issues streaming and I appreciated that with the paid subscription I could get the content without advertising. But over the last few months both of these things have changed. After making sure my connection was secure and fast enough, as well as updating the app- Streaming has become choppy and freezes often. Now, it also seems like the paid subscription no longer removes the advertisements (which are also inconveniently placed within episodes). I’m not sure if I’m going to have to pay more for the advertising to be removed but I wasn’t made aware of the changes to subscription agreement prior to it happening so that’s frustrating and I don’t think people should then be made to “upgrade” again to remove the ads if we were promised them removed from purchasing subscription.

Great, beeps little improvements. I am so far enjoying the app, love that it’s free with commercials but you can pay to remove them. The app itself needs little quality of life improvements however 1. When you download multiple episodes of a show you cannot auto play the next episode even if it’s also downloaded, you have to back out and reselect the next one 2. Your continue watching page is not on the opening page of the app, you have to select browse just to see what you’ve already been watching, I feel my recent viewing should be the first thing I see so I can quickly resume my shows 3. I don’t quite understand why some episode downloads have such brief time limits, it isn’t the biggest issue but I downloaded some P&R and it started a two day countdown so I have to hurry and watch them even though I’m paying to be able to watch them offline

Needs improvement. Decent selection of titles I tend to have on repeat, however, two needed improvements stick out to me as a frequent user of this app lately. First, often my “continue watching” is no where to be found; meaning I have to search for the specific title and scroll all the way to the season/episode I left off each time I want to continue watching. Second, when my continue watching does show, there needs to be a way to remove things from my queue that I no longer want to watch. Otherwise it is cluttered with half started things I have no intention of finishing. For example, I started one show that ended up being a particularly gross DNF and I don’t want to see it every time I open the app. Google suggests simply fast forwarding all the way to the end of something and clearing it that way, but this doesn’t always work as Peacock sometimes just starts a new suggested movie, adding something to continue watching I definitely didn't want to watch.

PS5 Woes. The app will work fine on your apple device and you should have no problem using it there or with other devices however, I mostly use this on my PS5 and the app constantly crashes and has problems auto playing to the next episode constantly which is my biggest issue right now. Every time I finish an episode I always get Puss In Boots with the big eyes and a message saying “Something went wrong”, this has been an issue for awhile and they haven’t fixed it yet. Since the update the app constantly has trouble connecting to the network. Don’t use it on your PS5 or other gaming consoles as it will crash. I will note that they put airplay on their phone apps which is a big plus in my opinion. Content is a bit cluttered in terms of how it displays their movies and tv shows but I enjoyed digging through and adding stuff to my list because they do have some amazing titles and content.

Hire new engineers. NBC is probably the most confusing affiliation in the tv industry by any standards of excellence. Years ago I used to use my sisters direct tv log in to the NBC app and I could watch USA, NBC, Bravo, CNBC, MSNBC, E, Oxygen, and on this supposed amazing peacock app one can watch shows from these networks, but select channels, and you get a horrible run of old shows looping like Pluto tv. The executives at comcast you’d think would actually have some modern technologically advanced thinkers working within, but they don’t. NBC+ would have been worth $15/month, including the simplicity of live streaming all the above channels, offering on demand, and a library favorite option. But no they went off in left field creating peacock, it’s buggy, fails to load 7/10 times, and they offer channels again of old looping shows. I’m left baffled by such ignorance after seeing what the NBC app actually offers, they spent millions on peacock, and it’s not what the NBC app offers, real question is why? Their investors, and stock holders, and board members should be asking why?

Great but one extremely annoying bug. I love Peacock and it houses most of my favorite shows. It was working pretty decently, but the last few weeks it has had one reoccurring issue that has become very frustrating. If you’re watching a tv show, it will randomly jump to the next episode. The reason I am just now writing this review of weeks with this bug, is because I had to go back to the same episode and time stamp of my show 6 times in 3 minutes because it kept jumping to the next episode. And this has happened with every show I watch on Peacock. It’s a very simple fix so I was hoping this last update would fix it. Yet, I have gone back to the same episode tonight a total of 12 times. On the same. Episode. Otherwise the app is great, but this problem has be become so frequent that I knocked two whole stars on an app that I love, full of some of my favorite movies and shows. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee fix this bug.

Garbage app. Where do I begin? The app is slow and full of bugs. Takes forever for a show to load full 4K quality. It prohibits using VPN (unlike literally every other streaming service on the planet). It likes to skip episodes for no apparent reason (thanks for the spoilers, Peacock!) Subtitles on the shows are always different from the spoken words. The app freezes and dies when running in the background if you pause on airplay for more than 5 minutes. And it still does anyway at the end of each episode. Oh, and the best part: Yellowstone is on this streaming service, but its spinoff series are on Paramount+! And you greedy corporate losers want to charge people $10 for ad free premium. So we get subpar features and content for the same price as any other streaming service. Wonderful! Needless to say, I’m canceling my subscription the second I finish my shows and deleting this app forever. God forbid I have to download it again because of more shenanigans with streaming services putting the same franchise on different apps. And these streaming services wonder why people prefer to use free movie websites…

Barely functional. I’ve tried to be patient with this app as I knew it hadn’t been around long when I signed up for it several months ago. But at this point I feel like I’m being scammed or cheated. The frequent crashing is one thing but I often have to deal with a lag between the audio and video when I do get it to work and closing then reopening the app only resolves this half of the time. I get thirty minutes into a movie then come back to watch it several hours later and it starts it from the beginning. Normally this would only be a minor inconvenience but as inefficient as the fast forwarding/rewinding is with this app, it seems to often be too much for the app to handle and will result in having to wait several minutes for the movie start where I originally left off only for the audio/video to be off (as I mentioned before) In short, it operates as if the app was put together by high school students for a school project and I feel like a clown for having spent at least close to $100 on my subscriptions thus far just so that I’d have the option to watch The Office. I would also like to add that I do not have this issue from any other streaming service or anything in my house that uses WiFi. This seems to be exclusively a Peacock problem. Currently thirty minutes into trying to watch a movie and fast forwarding it even fifty seconds completely stops the program. Being a paying subscriber, I really feel cheated by this. Again, this is exclusively a Peacock issue.

Too many bugs. I couldn’t wait for peacock to release and I’ve had a subscription every since it did. I mainly use it to watch shows and movies that aren’t anywhere else but I’m starting to think I can live without them if it means I don’t have to deal with all the bugs and glitches. For starters if you leave a movie unfinished and want to pick up where you left off it just restarts it, no big deal you can just skip forward right? No, I’ve tried that and it just refuses to play and is just stuck on the frame you skipped to; it won’t let you skip as little as 5 minutes in. Other issues include it just stopping whatever you’re streaming out of nowhere, it streaming at what seams like 10 FPS after being paused for a while, and moments when the screen flashes green. I pulled my premium membership until I can stream without any problems, and other issues I can’t think of at the moment. These all happened while streaming on either a PS4, chrome cast, or an LGTV smart tv.

Good content, terrible layout. As a sitcom enthusiast, the content here is probably the best in regards to the other streaming services available. This is, of course, subjective and I’ll let others judge for themselves if the content is for them or not. Something that isn’t subjective is the awful layout. It’s also been fairly clunky switching between the top tabs. Multiple devices and other people share my sentiment. The overlays during currently streaming content are huge and intrusive. The constant nag screen asking if I’m still there is absurd. I can’t stress enough how all streaming services need an option to turn this off. HBO Max definitely got this part right. Video quality of the streams could also be better. Again, no settings to change any of this. I pay for good internet, at least give me the option to get the most out of it. In summation, the content of the service is 5/5. The structure, layout, and functionality of the app is 1/5. Long way to go. Figure it out.

Generally I like it, but room for improvement. There’s a lot of catalog content and they seem to be increasing originals. The live content is nice. The interface, while in the general style used by most of the streaming services now, needs work. The intuitive search function by alphabet can give some wonky predictive text and it can take a bit longer to find a show (Bad example but you get the point: The OFfice ≠ Days OF Our Lives). Not sure if the algorithm is still learning me after a year, but I don’t watch Bravo reality…quit showing me a genre I’ve never watched. My biggest frustration is wanting to go to a series page for a show I’m in progress on. There’s no way to stop the ep and back out to the series page…you have to go to the search to find the page. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by how when you resume something on Netflix, it takes you to the series page, but only one click from there to resume your show.

The streaming is fine. But I decided to watch one of the offered feature films and in large block letters I was given an announcement “this film is offered for peacock TV users with no commercial interruptions“ so I started watching the film. A film which I am familiar with so when all of a sudden I am in the back room and suddenly the audio of something completely unrelated to the film starts up, sure enough there is a commercial being shown. I don’t mind a service that has to show advertisements occasionally as long as it is clearly defined when these advertisements are supposed to be and that they tell the truth whenever a film is supposed to be offered free of advertising. I find this not to be true at all. If I am told that I am going to be allowed to watch something without ads then I expect to see no ads. I understand the need for advertisements, really. But this is not acceptable.

Insulting to customers. I got this app because NBC Sports elects to split up Premier League coverage between the channel and the app so that you have to subscribe to two different services to follow one team. Additionally I had to get it on my iOS device because despite moving half a season to the app they haven't made a freak to make it available for Roku (t most popular streaming device). All of this suggests to me that NBC does not care about it's customers. They're using their exclusive EPL deal in a way that ultimately decreases the popularity of the league in order to milk a little more money out of the most loyal fans and force people onto their dumb platform. On top of that, the iOS version is garbage. I'm watching a terrible stream on my office computer because I literally couldn't make the stream work at all on my iPad. By the way the Peacock stream is several seconds behind so if you're on social media or have push notifications on then every big moment in the game is going to be spoiled right before you see it. It's really dreadful. Crossing my fingers that a different network wins EPL rights soon. I hope Peacock is a huge failure.

Good selection but needs updates. The show selection is great! I haven’t had any issues streaming. Here are the things I think need to be updated: 1.) add a skip intro button PLEASE. It’s not terrible but just annoying to have to watch the intro every single episode (especially while binging). 2.) While using a Chromecast, the app automatically disconnects after one episode. If I’m trying to watch the office, I have to go into my phone, reconnect to the chromecast, find the new episode and re-cast it. Super annoying. 3.) CLOSED CAPTIONING/SUBTITLES: They shut off after almost every episode. This is extremely inconvenient for deaf people like my mom to have to realize “hey they’re talking and i don’t know what they’re saying” to see the subtitles shut off. Please make it so once you turn subtitles on, they stay on for all content on the app until you turn it off! EXTREMELY inconvenient. 4.) I like that it starts pulling up results as you’re searching but it would be more helpful to have search suggestions as you’re typing in case your result isn’t showing up!

Warning ‘my opinion. I truly love this my family have had this (Not in my device) we had this for just a few weeks not long and we are already obsessed with this app It offers such as good shows and I would recommend from a 10 a 11 but I do have a question I just installed it today on my phone because I wanted to have it mobile on my phone and the experience idk what to say because I went in the app something appears on the screen it’s just a white square and only has a button that says okay that is all that is says I pressed the button not thinking anything but my screen went black tho I don't know if it’s my internet since I’m not home or a glitch going on for everyone I would not know but hope someone answers it :) please answer peacock.-

Two issues, one function, one business. Greetings. I have to main issues with this app. The first is functionality and it’s a small one: Why can’t I remove shows that I don’t want from continue watching. I watched a few minutes of a show, decided it wasn’t for me. No way to remove it from continue watching. I tried to just skip to the end so the episode would end and disappear (which means I was stuck watching ads to do so), but then the app auto loaded the next episode. Even though I hit cancel on the auto load, the second episode shows on my Continue Watching. As a user I want to be able to remove shows easily from continue watching So that they don’t clutter up the row of things I do actually want to continue watching. On the business side, I’m struggling to understand why a Premium Subscriber is subjected to lengthy ad sequences, up to 150 seconds (I’m not sure if the countdown actually makes it better or worse, to be honest) as I’m watching. When I was watching for free, I understood ads. As a Premium subscriber, I’m now paying to have to watch ads. There has to be a balance here. If there isn’t, I’ll simply stop paying for Premium. Frankly, the content isn’t so good as to justify being charged twice, once for subscription and once for time watching ads, when there is so much competition out there.

Trashy Cash Grab. At least when some big corporations take full advantage of a fanbase they give a reasonable product, with a good interface, and enjoyable content. In the case of Peacock TV, they have taken our built up love of a product that they have spent time promoting, with hosts and talent that we now care about, and bastardized it to the last degree. This app is horrendous, nearly impossible to navigate or to play on your TV. What once was abundant free access to channels, shows and games, has now moved all behind multiple levels of a pay-wall. But wait, here’s the kicker, it’s not available on nearly HALF of all streaming content providers such as Roku, Amazon’s Fire Stick, Samsung’s Smart TV, LG’s Smart TV, and others. Spare me with the “You can just watch it on your phone” or “Watch it in your browser”. These products were previously free or abundant to watch on many NBCUniversal channels, and instead you must pay to watch them on this garbage can of an app, in the sake of competition which will clearly fail this corporation and their product. Don’t download, don’t pay for this service. Find a stream of the EPL games online, save your cash. They certainly don’t deserve it.

THE WORST APP EVER. Once I was sitting on my couch and Aisa this app on the App Store so I bought it of course I had to sign in it took me so long I could not find a password and it kept saying this you Artie use this password something went wrong try again later and I can’t do it so I finally got in to the app and I’ll look for Harry Potter because it’s my favorite movie and I found it so watch it 1000 times and then I decided to go to temple run and I came back to the app two minutes later and it was gone of my favorite movies we’re gone so I delete the app and signed in again I looked it was gone so it was not good at all so I’m writing this review and just so you know Peacock is my least favorite app and it is horrible horrible horrible horrible and half of it and half of the moviesLike they make you get premium for it and it’s a horrible app!!!!!!!!!!!!

Decent service, real poor app quality. First off, I do love the peacock service - I appreciate the shows available and as I pay for the full subscription I’ve been enjoying the content without ads. The streaming quality has been good for me. I do agree with another reviewer that the reload time is obnoxious, if I pause the video and come back to it. Pausing and returning usually takes the video back 15 seconds which is very frustrating. Also, I’m frustrated that I can’t have the app running in the background while doing something else on my phone. Netflix lets me turn my phone off and just plays the show as audio, which allows me to listen to the show without draining my battery. This seems like a very basic user functionality that all apps should have these days, but I understand that if the app was maybe rushed to production that it’s not there yet. I would appreciate this being fixed for an update. I also wish the app had a homepage where I could save shows for later. It’s frustrating having to remember what I was interested in or having to use the search bar every single time I want to find a show. I also would like an option to hide the main page, which currently shows news and stuff like that. It should be a customizable front page or I should be able to hide the news/sports so that they’re not what I see when I first open the app. I will keep paying for this for a few months in the hopes that the app will get better.

App Works Good on iPhone, Not So Good Elsewhere. I enjoy the shows I can watch on my iPhone. Great selection, and plays back anything without a hitch. However ... ... I also like to play videos on my much larger TV. Now we have a problem. My iPhone 11 Pro Max running the latest version of iOS refuses to play any videos from this app on any TV. It will still play on my iPhone, while the TV shows a freeze frame of where I started the video. The audio comes from the TV as it should, though. When I try to play a video on my TV from an older device, it doesn’t play on either screen, though I can still hear audio from the TV. It still plays on my device properly while not plugged into a TV. I have several other streaming video apps, and all work the way they’re supposed to. Peacock is the only one that doesn't. I was hoping the latest update would fix this problem. It didn’t.

Video starts playing through speaker when headphone removed. Why in gods earth does this app decide to keep playing the video loudly through the speaker after I have removed an airpod? Why? Every other app pauses the content when a headphone is removed as it is supposed to. This was one of the awesome features when headphone like AirPods came out, but this stupid app decides to purposely kill that feature. Why on gods earth would I suddenly want the content to keep playing through the speaker when I take my headphones out? This just leads to my content blasting to everyone, like say when heading off to sleep. So I keep my iPad volume on mute… and end up coming back to an iPad that has kept playing Peacock content despite me not being there to watch. This is some of the worst user design I’ve seen, especially since they had to go out of their way to break the functionality seen in every other app. Just fix this. It’s simple. I’m going to keep Peacock for one more month and if this isn’t fixed I’m canceling my premium membership. It’s been like this too long

Not iPhone friendly. I had to purchase the peacock app bc of the nbc switching to you all. Not that big of a deal. However I usually listen/sort of watch my shows at work for background noise on my phone. All the other streaming apps when my ear buds are being used will pause when I take the ear bud out. This app annoyingly doesn’t pause. It just switches to the phone keeps playing and blares the show n my phone. When you go to hit the pause button you have to hit it three or more times before it finally pauses. Also the rewind situation is annoying. Again all other apps allow you to do a 10-15 second rewind or forward option as well as the regular rewind. This one does not so you have to fight with it to rewind just a tiny bit because it usually moves to fast you rewind too far. This apparently is an over app problem and not just the phone version issue. Navigation is a nightmare and not user friendly. Over all I’m very annoyed I have to pay 10 dollars a month for a crap app.

Only thing I dislike about Peacock…. The only reason I didn’t give Peacock 5/5 is because when a movie or show I’m watching gets to the credits, it cuts off during the credits and plays some random show I don’t want to watch. It doesn’t play a show from my list, it continues to play a show I don’t want to watch every time, and there is no way to stop that from happening. It is extremely annoying. At the very least, let the credits end before it counts down to a show, and it should be a show from my list at least, but I would prefer to have the options to: 1) not have that happen, 2) repeat the movie/show, 3) offer to play a movie/show from my list, 4) offer to play a show it suggests, 5) select to have the suggested show timer or no timer before it plays automatically, and 6) any other suggestions that enhance the experience.

Doesn’t even support TV playback. Barely has any channels for the Live TV section and the app doesn’t even support TV playback. For background noise and general television watching (I don’t watch much cable TV but I enjoy background noise during chores/work) I use the types of apps that give free TV. I have three of these apps and have used several others. Peacock’s layout and aesthetics best the other apps but overall the app does not. There are barely any channels and even though every single other app I’ve used supports screen playback through apple adapters, Peacock does not. It’s almost like they purposely ruined that part. If I’m trying to watch Live Tv: it stays a black screen with audio or completely freezes but if I click over to “movies” it’ll show on screen through the adapter. That’s pointless, I’m trying to watch live tv on tv. Every other app has more channels and allows the channels to be played through an adapter/outside source instead of freezing it. This means movies/shows/etc that aren’t live won’t work either (if they do then what’s the difference).

Great titles for a great price. Surprised by some of the titles and shows I have found on here that I can no longer find on other streaming services I have paid over 3x a month for! Cheapest subscription has ads, and initially had them playing periodically throughout the shows as you watch which was like having cable all over again(ads interrupting the climax of a movie ruins the experience) and I planned on ending my subscription after one month. HOWEVER, just recently(i suppose most recent update) they have begun to show all of the ads immediately at the beginning of the show and then allowing you to watch the rest ad free. I love this new implementation, allows me to pay for the cheaper subscription and still enjoy full movies after a single 180 sec ad break in the beginning. I will definitely be continuing my subscription moving forward.

It’s ok. I got this app to watch Rich Eisen. His show is live, but I am not available to watch until about 1/2 way through. I prefer to watch beginning to end. The live broadcast ends at 1pm, but it is not made available to replay until late evening or in some cases the next day. When I 1st began using the app I had frustrations a plenty and hoped the bugs would get worked out before The Rich Eisen Show stopped broadcasting on TV. I don’t see that anything has improved from when I 1st began using the app until now. This app seems to have a wonderful catalog of movies, sports, old tv shows and The problem is, you get about 7-10 minutes in and the buffering begins. I am then informed that I am not connected to the internet. This is while I see all WiFi bars light up. I am then informed I should try a premium membership. Each time I open the app I see so many programs to watch, but it ends in heartbreak. This streaming service looks great, but it doesn’t work. And don’t tell me it’s free and the suggest I purchase premium version.

Very disappointing, I’m not sure if it’s worth keeping.. I really used to love the app but lately it’s taken a turn for the worse. Since I’ve had it, I ignored the quality of the picture and the constant buffering because I didn’t use the app that often. However now I use it weekly and it’s becoming an issue. It randomly freezes then closes and it takes quite a bit of time to reboot. I’ve tried clearing the cache and deleting the app from all devices with the same issue. Plus it took almost 24 hours to download it back on my Firestick! Peacock has great content but it’s very, very frustrating to want to watch something but it consistently freezes and/or shuts down. Once the season is done with the shows I watch I’ll most likely cancel if the app isn’t working properly.

Worst Customer Support. Customer support might be the worst I’ve ever experienced. They don’t have phone support so you’re forced to use online text chat or email. They have a script so they don’t really listen to what the issue is as they go down the checklist. We purchased an annual Premium Plus subscription Black Friday and over two months later we still have ads in all content. Emailing back and forth with “Support” has been a waste of time this far. Support emails questions, we answer the questions, and then a couple days later we get an email asking the same questions we already answered. I’m not sure it will ever be fixed at this rate. Decent content but better hope something doesn’t go wrong because in my experience you’re on your own. From what it looks like online in forums there’s a decent amount of people that have a range of issues and getting it fixed is very hit or miss. I’m sure I’ll get a Developer Response about sending an email about my issue. That’s clearly worked out well for me so far.

More control. This won’t be seen by anyone but I’m going to write a review anyway! The app is terrible! Especially for the WWE network! I can’t stand how everything is in seasons. And after watching one pay per view the next shows up in the continue watching section and there is zero way to remove it! I don’t want the shows in seasons! I don’t want to see the next pay per view on the continue watching section! I want to be able to delete shows from the continue watching section! The old WWE network app was so much better in every way possible! Just do what that app did! If you want seasons then put every year for the wwe network into a folder and then it would be better. Then the continue watching section would make sense! The way it is now makes no sense at all! Fix any of this and I would give a higher rating! But you won’t it’ll continue to be terrible. But I’ll keep watching and paying for it because I want to see the WWE. And you’ll continue not to care.

The 4 star rating and why. Here’s the thing. You may think this is just one review, why would we listen to this review!? But the thing is I provide the truth. You guys probably get 100s of these a day that you probably don’t even look at. And I hope your looking at this one because I’m giving the truth. The truth is, peacock is great and all but it doesn’t have as much as you would want it to have. And you should change the show slides everyday so you aren’t looking at the same shows everyday. Because people want a variety of tv options. From the baby shows, to the teenage shows, to the adult shows, to the old people shows. People want variety! That’s all I’m trying to say. If you got this you would have five stars for sure! So I hope you saw this. If you didn’t then I hope you will next time. If there is one. -Unknown Critic

Peacock chooses your next movie. I would have rated peacock 5 stars however I do not like that peacock now starts playing what it wants after your movie is done, that’s very annoying because it instantly adds it to your continue watching list as well. Usually something I have NO intention of watching. I am quite capable of choosing my next show. I absolutely dislike this new update feature and would like it to be put it back to letting the consumer be making their own choices. I will repeat, this new setup is Highly annoying. It seems like a dirty trick to increase our streaming time as most other streaming applications go back to the home screen when a movie ends thus decreasing streaming use. It feels like an unfair thing you’re doing. So will you have the guts to show this review, and be fair to the consumer and at least give an option that disallows anything but series to continue playing. I wondered why my streaming activity went up.

“Continue to watch”all out of wack.. A recurring issue is the shows I watch regularly are NOT showing up in the “Continue to watch” section when a new episode arrives. Instead I have to search for the shows to see if there are new episodes. It happened with the new Quantum Leap, the last few weeks I missed TWO new episodes when they arrived. Same with Lopez vs Lopez, Law&Order SVU, The Voice and VPR also have this issue. There haven’t been any new episodes even showing up in the last few weeks. So it’s all the shows I watch have this issue. Plus when I go to check for a new episode under ANY of these shows, it tells me to continue to watch EPISODE 1 when obviously I’ve already watched ALL the episodes up til the new ones. Also all the shows I mentioned, I have checked under “my stuff”, so that’s NOT the issue. So PLEASE can you fix this issue. I’m constantly missing new episodes when they arrive. Thank you.
