Constantly has errors. Crackle has some really good shows and movies on it. That’s the part I like about it the part I hate is that every time I try watching something I get an error message that something went wrong. Then I have to start what I’m watching over with and then it once again throws up an error message. It would be nice to be able to actually watch some thing on Crackle. Fix the problem!

They track your usage but can’t be bothered to make it useful for you.. They sell your info and track everything you watch but they can’t be bothered to give a “Continue Watching” section so you can continue where you left off. Every time I go to resume where I left off it restarts to the beginning. Crackle gives off the vibe of shady data tracker with no effort to disguise itself as useful.

NO sign-in Option. Great variety of shows available, rarely experience any glitches. No watchlist available, however, because I cannot sign in to my free account that I created on my PC. 5-star app otherwise.

Commercials freeze occasionally. Why? I have 100mbt download speed. No issues with other streaming services, just crackle?

Log in missing. There’s no where to sign in and save movies/shows for later. Have to do a search and then remember where you left off.

No watch list. Why is there no sign in option? Very frustrating to have a watch list on other devices such as PC & Roku and not be able to pull it up on the iPad. Without that option I haven't used the app enough to rate it further.

Good Shows… that’s it. So the app has good shows, but it is riddled with commercials if the show loads at all. Some shows don’t even have audio for me, like Sherlock

Ad heavy blah content. There is a Crackle button on my remote so I eventually tried it. No content I recognized but was open to exploring so I chose Everybody Hates Chris. A 15 second commercial preceded and I thought ok fine. A 60 second opening scene proceeded to introduce the show and a young Chris Rock. Good start. After that short intro it broke away to 3 more commercials. No thanks.

Great app on tv and phone EXCEPT….. I’d really appreciate the addition of being able to save shows to a list so I could get to them easier. Once you find something you want to watch most apps allow u to add to favorites! Please consider this your customers would love it!

Great Content - App is Difficult. The app will not let me log in, says activate is not working. There is no way to easily go back to a video that is partially watched and the watchlist function from the web does not work in the Apple apps.

Terrible streaming!. First time I watched this app it constantly froze or just went out. Every time I would restart it was always back at the beginning of the program and had to repeatedly rewatch ads only to have the program not restart and have to go through it all over again. I will NEVER watch anything on this service again!

Worthwhile update. Finally!. So glad to see this app get updated. It finally feels like a modern app in the year of our lord 2023. Missing some features but I think if they get some more updates out it’ll be fantastic.

One of the worst, even for a free streaming service. Constantly stops playing the movie and just sits on the pre-ad screen so I have to completely shut off my TV and reopen the app. The resume button is just for show, it never actually picks up where you left off. And every time you scrub to a new location, it makes you watch four more ads.

Use In browser… the app is worthless. No sign in, no watchlists and no continue watching option. What’s the point of this app? Thing freezes after ads and you must start over and more ads :-( boo

Drops connection often, no favorites. App freezes often, particularly during commercials. No issues with connections on any other app. Would be nice to have saved favorites for programs watched often.

Adds. I would give it a five star if the ad volume wasn’t so inconsistent! You can be watching a show at a reasonable volume and then an ad pops up at 100% volume absolutely ridiculous!

Free is nice but what is the point?. Why why why must we be assaulted with some random video playing while we search for something that we actually want to watch? This could NOT be more annoying! Moreover I have one show that I watch here. It is very difficult to locate. Other than this, rarely find anything I would want to watch on this app. This is not true of all free streaming apps, this one just gets a lot of trash movies.

Watch list blurry screen. Watch doesn’t come on the Home Screen Sometimes during the movie the goes blurry

Apple TV Version is Worthless. Can’t: activate an account, log in if you created an account on the website, search, see all episodes for a show, save to a list…you are basically stuck with watching what you find by scrolling. The worst entertainment app I’ve ever seen on Apple TV.

No option to login. The app has no option to login to your account. And if it does, it’s very hard to find. So even if you have a crackle account so that you can save shows or movies, you can’t use your account with the app. Why even have an app then? Just use the website on mobile instead. At least you can log in.

Forced to view TV show list by category. Why the change? Used to be able to scroll thru one master list of tv shows. Now you have to pick a category first. How simple it would have been to great an ‘All’ category.

Great Family friendly tv app!. I only have a few streaming apps on my tv that's Family All around friendly . What I mean by that is, you can scroll through each categories, and find a good movie without seeing other "raunchy rated X y and Z " type movies pop up!!! I don't need my kids reading or seeing the name of a movie that shouldn't be on a streaming app or my family or Friends see that... And the layout is pretty simple and easy to navigate. They have great selection of movies to choose and I come here for the Holiday movies. The total movie library have so many titles I've never seen before. Lots of movies I never heard of I end up liking and enjoying them. Must download

Love the old shows. Fish was one of my favorite shows growing up. So excited to watch it again

Great! But!! I hate ads. I’d give it a 5 star rating if you would give people the option to remove ads by paying 5.99 a month i guarantee you would get a lot of people who would agree with me. Your ads are to frequent to enjoy what is being watched. I get into watching and boom ads it’s ridiculous. But I’m more than likely wasting my time writing this Review!!

This app is very annoying!!. So buggy and laggy! And when I try to watch the last 2 minutes of a documentary, Crackle boots me off and plays a different movie! I’ve tried to reload the movie and fast forward to the ending but it keeps booting me off before it actually ends! So frustrating I will never use Crackle again. Deleting now.

No sound. Tried to watch multiple titles and there was no sound, removed all other open applications and even redownloaded the app to see if that would fix it, but to no avail. Good titles but not enjoyable if you can’t hear them.

Just a big NO. No login anywhere to be found. No watchlist to keep track of your stuff. No continue watching where you left off. Finally....no way of turning off CC? Enough said! This app needs to add these items that other free apps offer! Has some decent shows on it..so much potential. Bummer! Unfortunately, this is a big no go for me!

Really needs watchlist and resume watching like it did several years ago. No idea why these function were removed from app. They are still available on website. Just a horrible user experience. Every single streaming app on iOS has these functionalities, except crackle. Crackle has very good content, just not friendly to the user at all.

Room for improvement. Can’t sign in with app so no show progress or history is saved. No way to minimize window app. I don’t see the benefit of using the app over just watching in a browser.

Great!. Impressive entertainment app, lots of options and good varieties! Nice to find something different.

Agony. The shows aren’t the problem. It’s the freezing of the screen every time there is a commercial. And the commercials are way too frequent, extended and repetitive. It’s agony waiting out the frozen screen.

Where Did the Watchlist Go?!?!?. I’ve been using this app for years. Today my watchlist is GONE and there’s not even a tab for the watchlist anymore! No sign-in option either. I’ve tried removing and reinstalling but still no luck. Why???

Unusable. Set up a new account as they requested on the website. Was able to watch a show on my iPhone in the app without being able to sign in and save a wishlist or have a record or history of what I’ve watched previously or save things to find later. As for watching on my Apple TV where I want to watch things it tells me I need to go to the website and activate the app to do anything. The website says that function is disabled so they can create a better user experience. Ah, yes…now I remember this is why I deleted the app a year ago. Still useless.

… I like but. I like this app I like the name also crackle it’s just good anyways I got this app on my Apple TV and I try to sign on but I can’t even sign it it says go to website. I do that and it says error. Fix the app! I want to sign in and stream

No watchlist?. How do you even use an app for watching shows without a wachlist or playlist? I don’t jump on amd start watching the first garbage that appears. I’m looking for specific movies and shows and if you have one I will use your service. If you cannot help me keep track of what I want to watch on your service I’m not interested in using it.

Significant enhancement!. It’s now the best ad-based mobile app! Great graphics, outstanding content, and very user friendly!

So Many Streaming Channels….. ….but I’ll stick with this one. It was one of the first to do it and still do it right.

Constantly stops playing. Shows stop playing after the halfway point commercials saying the program is over. I have to restart the program and then watch another set of commercials. I emailed customer service on their developer page link and it returned undeliverable.

Classics. Always a good change to see the past Classics!

No Watchlist. If I could add shows/movies to a watchlist then I’d give it more stars. However, my account on my app or my FireTV doesn’t have any options to save a list.

Needs Work. Great content but needs works. You need to manually turn off subtitles on everything you watch. Very ANNOYING! Most apps allow you to turn them off in settings.

Apple TV. The Crackle app for Apple TV requires activation in order to watch, and it provides a link to activate Crackle on Apple TV. That link for activation says “Activation has been disabled”. So, the Crackle app, which has not been updated since November 11, 2019, is a dud since it is impossible to activate. Why is it in the app store?

Annoying. Was going to give crackle another chance, but since then I’ve had bought a new TV and it is so difficult to connect anything with Crackle and I’m a pretty savvy app person. I don’t even know if the things I mentioned in my earlier review are still pertinent because I just got frustrated dealing with the app. Really good titles and I understand the need for advertisement,But the app freezes during the ads and you can’t go forward or go back or stop you have to just get out of the app and start over and go through the whole collection of ads again

Very nice design update. Old design of the app look like something from 2012, now they have updated, it look so much better

Slight problem. I’m enjoying Crackle but I have one thing that keeps bothering me- Every time I go into Crackle to continue with “The Pinkertons” series, the App doesn’t have a “Continue Watching” section so when you go back in you have to go Find the show again, then it begins at Season 1/Episode1 no matter where you are in the series. If there was a Continue Watching section it should bring up any shows or episodes right to where you left off. Thank you

No sound at all in any movie. So, not to good... No sound at all in any movie. So, not to good.. Update 5/2/23 : got an email that the sound was fixed so I tried again and boom, It Is Fixed. Thank you!!

Update somehow made it worse. This garbage app rarely if ever even plays, but with the last update they took away the queue so you have to search for your shows and find where you left off.

Great update! Love the slick new look.. Loving the new Crackle app. It’s faster and easier than ever to find all my favorite shows - for free.

The best movie/tv watching app. I definitely recommend crackle for any new commers who love watching movies etc I have been using this app for a few long years, Gracias crackle 🙂

Good Movies & Shows, BUT…... WHY IN THE WORLD WAS THE AUDIO ON THE DISCOVER COMMERCIALS RECORDED AT MAX VOLUME??? It’s INSANE!! We’ve started a GREAT series - “Line of Duty,” and we’re streaming to an LG monitor. It has no remote, which means someone has to sit close to try to turn down the volume (even with the volume setting to “1,” it’s better, but still loud)! And… This particular program freezes quite a bit. (We’ just started episode 1 so I’m hoping that won’t be the case going forward)! I’ve watched several movies via Crackle & had no issues. PLEASE make sure that audio volume issue is fixed going forward;’we’d hate to “quiet quit” on you, because we really love what you have to offer! You’re truly a godsend in the midst of the writers strike! Keep up the good work, but please make sure other movies & videos don’t have the same problem as the Discover commercial audio issue.

Excellent Content. Most of the movies and television series are exceptional to watch.

No sound?. Ever since the app updated there is no sound on anything I try to play. :(

No sound. Audio doesn’t work on anything…

Disappointing. Not playing audio for any of the shows or movies. 😒

Glitchy. Can’t save favorites, picture quality is awful. Too many commercials and they interrupt the movie at the most crucial moments. What happened to this service?!?!? Garbage.

Too many commercials. I get that the app is free there are commercials to pay for the service, but there are just too many. There are less commercials watching broadcast TV.

hate the words coming on screen. FIX IT

Turn captions off. Why must I turn captions off for each movie I watch? Aren’t you smart enough to provide a global setting?

Why isn’t there the ability to log into the app?. I have a saved list of programs to watch. Yet the Apple app does not have a login to your account option. Why?

I am new here. It’s very easy to use

Continue. Crackle needs a continue watching option

Sound doesn’t work.. Can’t hear a thing. Horrible.

Frustrating. … that you can’t save a favorites list.

Great. A friend recommended this app, such a great things to choose from, thanks for a great app

Always crashes. When I try to resume in the middle of a movie, it plays one thirty second ad and then immediately crashes

No sound. I’m not sure if it’s the update but there is no sound when playing the videos.

Won’t work. Won’t let me make an account please fix

Sound. No sound on any programs therefore my rating is zero.

No sound. Videos play with no sound.

Great!!. Biggest selection ever… hard to find classics.

Horrible. You don’t have anything that’s decent you got everything that people never heard of know that kind of stuff but just lost me because you don’t have anything up here that I want or it’s need to see

I can’t log in. I went to settings to log in, but I didn’t find the option, what gives?

Features missing or hard to find. Can't find my watch list I have an account but can't find where to enter it.

Annoying app that you can’t get rid of!!!. I regret downloading this app. Despite deleting it I still get their annoying emails. I don’t like any of the programs and wish they would stop bugging me!!!🤬

More Ads than Cable. Inconsistent ad spacing. First few episodes they’re few and spaced out. Afterwards it’s 3ads at a time, 6x per episode, whether 30mins or more.

No rotation? Why?. Can’t rotate the view screen to my preferred orientation. I don’t want to hold my phone the wrong way to watch the video. Why is this app incapable of rotating the view screen?

Crackle. Needs movie update

Very limited capabilities. Doesn’t show my list of movies. Can’t even log into my account on the app.

Do not use. You may as well be watching TV as many ads that keep showing up. I am very disappointed!

The volume doesn’t work. The volume doesn’t work

Pretty Good. The choices are pretty good. I hope the stability of the stream will improve.

Love the shows but. The ad freeze the shows and mess up the player alot

L. Some movies you can’t watch in English or change it to English that needs to be fixed

Bad. I think this app and the website is getting worse. No one is really fixing it.

Impossible to find controls. Can’t figure out where to sign in. Can’t find watch list. Can’t find settings for my account. Not worth getting!

No Save or Playlist??!!. What streaming platform does NOT offer a way for their customers to SAVE content to watch later?! WTH.

Very poor app. So confusing on how you can sign in or do you need too. If you go to the desktop version it’s different than their app version. One of them or both is not updated.

Video Quality is Terrible. I downloaded Crackle for the iPad because Crackle for AppleTV requires ‘activation’ and Crackle’s activation is shut down (for now?). Crackle’s video quality is terrible. At best it looks like 480i. It only supports Chromecast and not AirPlay. After loading Crackle on my iPad, Crackle on AppleTV started working without ‘activation’ and it looked terrible also. So I deleted it. Am hoping that Sherlock shows up on a mainstream provider.

Sharing. I do not see a way to share a movie or show? Am I missing something so basic?

First Impressions. Great selection - terrible streaming and doesn’t let you continue where you left off.

Downloaded app, no sound/volume won’t play. How can I get sound to play And how do I get the screen to enlarge and rotate to landscape to see the movie on full screen.

No audio. No audio on iPhone. I have ios16.4 latest update. All other apps the audio works. Crackle is the only audio not working at all.

To Much Ads!!. There are a lot of ads every time and they are repeated EVERYTIME!!!

No audio on anything. Good selection, but no audio on my ipad. Can only watch with CC. Tried updating, reinstalling, etc… searching for a fix online. Nothing.

X. There’s just not enough here. The pay apps that I absolutely despise are looking better by the second.

Not bad. Plenty to watch. Long, long, long, privacy policy.

JD. it’s a good app a lot of good movies I like it a lot

No volume. I’m trying to play crackle on my phone. It had no volume. I have to link to a smart tv in order to hear.

New upgrade. You’ve just deleted the watch later and made this site even more generic. Bad “update”👎🏻

Apple TV problems. Works ok on Apple IPad but usually never works on Apple TV box.
