Episodes frequently fail to load, or get stuck on loading screens. Ads will often replay after just a few seconds of actual show. Subtitles sometimes just will not appear. No easy or intuitive answers to any of these. Just an awfully designed app.

I hate this service I had this service a couole years ago, and the lag plus all the ads infuriated me. In addition im paying for a service and not all the shows or movies are available. I have to give even more $. Cancelled my subscription 2026...decided to give it another chance. Same BS. Will cancel immediately. Just gonna stick with Netflix.

Hulu has been in business too long to still be having issues with shows going missing from my continue watching or continue watching going missing altogether, still having to delete the series from your previously watched to keep your episodes from starting at the end if you watched the series already, and the fact that in the mobile app when you click on something you've been watching it just starts you on the episode you left off on instead of the the window to select episodes from.

I had this service for 2 years before I canceled. Gave it a few months hoping they would fix issues. Nope and they dont respond when you tell them about the multiple issues. App will close multiple times while watching a show. It starts shows you've watched before at the end. when you start over it will play then immediately skip ahead 10 or 20 seconds. The best problem is when the words dont match the mouth. Also you'll watch more ads then show. Hey keep raising those prices though. Garbage.

I would have rated 1 star, but apps here like to hide 1 star reviews. Put a show on, get 3 ads, okay fine! I'll sit through some ads. Get to the intro/title sequence, let it run because I haven't heard the intro in a while, I'M HIT WITH 6 MORE ADS! To think we used to use streaming services to avoid excessive advertising. And it's always the same ads!! Never anything new!! I'm actually done, I'm uninstalling and getting DVD's again!

the download section is awful. I can't stream partially downloaded shows, really slow downloads even when connection is good. it shouldn't take days or weeks to download a 2 hr movie. After selecting a show that is downloading the only option I get is to delete. I can't pause, or find out the status or even what percentage is complete.

Super slow downloads over cellular, and then you have to keep the download window open for the movie to download. If you close the window or use another app, it stops downloading.

I like having Hulu. But it is one of the most complicated streaming apps I have encountered. On my phone it seems okay. Other than the watch history or to continue watching is not stable. The TV app is a nightmare if you have watched an episode. As only the the ones you have not watched will appear until you go check my episodes on every singke past episode. That is insanity.

I only pay for Hulu to watch one show, and this is the second time in a row the subtitles are missing. Of course, it happens during the Bleach season finale.

About the app itself as the content is about the same as others. It's just has bugs and crashes sometimes on all my devices/TV's. Some profiles you cannot remove items from save list it just stays there and have to delete and create another profile. Crashes more often than other similar apps. Ads play first thing when you start a show so if you show surfing, or trying to find your last spots. you have to watch an ad first. Search results just looks weird.

Not particularly happy with Hulu. Continually get errors stating i can't load and to try again. You have no ability to see all scheduled recordings at one time so that you can cancel future recordings. If you set something to record, every time it airs you are recording it again. There are items that I've added to 'my stuff' that I can't get rid of. I've followed all instructions and AI suggestions to a T. Thinking of going back to cable.

HULU IS A TERRIBLE LIVE SPORTS STREAMING EXPERIENCE. Just FYI, for anyone thinking of Hulu live TV as an option for watching live sports. I pause an NFL game for 5 minutes to take the dog outside. When I resume watching the game I see a Bears roughing the passer penalty I want to go back and watch again...BUT NOooOoo, Hulu player locks any rewind function if there is an ad playing...EVEN IF IT'S 5 MINUTES AHEAD! So you really have no control over your sports viewing experience. Frustrating af

Hulu, like many other streaming services, was great when it first came out. a collection of good shows and movies for a decent subscription price. however, they have jacked up their prices for basic and made it even more absurd if you want adds removed. i wouldn't be so bothered with the adds if their weren't DO MANY OF THEM. I had to watch less commercials watching cartoons in 1998. Hulu, kindly go kill yourself

I was trying to watch an anime, right. nah, turns out I was just gonna be watching ads. The episode was 22 minutes, with four ads. each ad was two minutes, totaling to about 8 minutes. That means 36.5 percent of time I was watching, I was just watching ads. Do not install this app unless you just want to waste your time and money.

pay 100+ per month for commercial free but there are still forced commercials in on demand viewing. Some discovery shows have more commercials than show. They play 3 minutes show then 3:30 commercials until the show is over. Cant fast forward through commercials. Many many disney commercials. Makes discovery on demand shows unwatchable. The only way is to record upcoming shows then watch the recording and you can fast forward. Would not recommend trying to catch up on old unrecorded series.

Garbage. The app refuses to sign in until you reload the page 5 times (without removing password), then the verification takes 3 times to reload, and when you finally get to the actual content, that page then needs to load and shows a blank screen for 4 more minutes. Don't try to search for anything either, it will just flash the results and then load AGAIN for another 10 minutes. A complete waste of code.

This review is for the app, rather than the content available. Poor design that ignores most modern streaming conventions. Things like the UI clearly show that the app was designed by someone who has never actually tried watching shows or movies on it. You can't pause easily by tapping the screen. Instead you have to tap a tiny button in the corner that is inexplicably wedged between skip back and skip forward buttons. You can't skip opening credits on shows easily like on other apps.

Hulu, you know that you have a glitch causing playback of episodes to start at the end. I used to be able to fix this (even though this is a huge system wide problem that YOU need to fix) by selecting "manage series > clear watch history" every time I wanted to rewatch anything. But now that option is missing as well. For crying out loud, you can do better. I will be deleting this service over this. I literally cannot re-watch ANY series without every episode starting at the last 30 seconds.

Hulu has claimed that multiple movies didn't load properly several times, even after watching 2 minutes of ads. Then I have to restart the movie, forcing me to watch 4 minutes of ads before the beginning credits are even over. Great app ui/useability, great content but the amount of constant ads for what we pay for is ridiculous. Unlike Amazon the app has no memory of how many ads you just watched, which makes it unbearable at times.

Ads with bits of your show in between. A 25 minute episode has several minute and a half ad breaks during it. Seems to be at least 5 minutes of ads. That's means 20% of that episode is ads. Paid subscriptions mean nothing anymore. They just reshuffle the tiers, demanding more money for an "ad free" experience, and the previous ad free tier now has ads. They're all getting their cake and eating it, too.

I find the content lacking and the video player platform is not intuitive. The positives are there are some current shows available within a few days from Premier, but then you can't stream the content from the beginning, unlike Netflix that houses most series since inception except with Netflix you need to wait for current series to be delayed by a year or more. I wish Hulu created new movies like Netflix.

too many ads, even when you pay extra for the no ads version. I thought there would only be ads for the live TV part of it. But the regular streaming is filled with ads. And it's not just an ad here or there you watch 3 minutes of ads every 5 minutes. I paid the most for hulu out of all the other streaming services I use. And with all the other streaming services that I use that offer a true ad free service, there was no point in me keeping Hulu. Tubi is free and has less ads with better movies

Why not spread it out. Also, since ads are placed randomly, sometimes you have to rewind to catch what just happened. But if you do that, you'll have to rewatch ads at the same time stamp!

Hulu has some decent content, but you can judge for yourself based on your interests. This rating is more for the app, which can be buggy. Scrubbing through shows is not always stable which can make watching difficult, especially if you want to rewind a bit or fast forward a bit. Edit: On Google TV, the app often fails to start streaming, erroring out with the message "something went wrong". Ultimately you have to reboot the whole device. Ironically, the one thing that plays flawlessly is ads.

Look, I get it. I didn't pay for ad-free, so I have to deal with them. HOWEVER, I was watching a cartoon with my kid and each episode is 11 minutes. There is absolutely NO REASON they should be cutting to play an ad in the middle of the episode. It's not even a 15-30 second ad. It's a feW of them that play for almost 2 minutes. That's RIDICULOUS! How is it now worse than cable TV?? I have been a customer for years and seriously, I DO NOT feel the love back!

The new episode of my show won't play because I paused it and turned off other TV and changed rooms. Everything else plays on Hulu, including previous episodes of same show. 30 minutes of restarting modem, router and TV. And unique error just sits and spins. Ridiculous. I'm canceling if it's not going to let me watch new or paused episodes. Won't fix glitch after reboot, several even. Not reliable and too expensive for this type of unfixable glitch.

Sucks. Constant issues with the Android TV app. Load Failures, Says not available in your area you area after watching several episodes of a program...I'm in the USA. Customer service isn't helpful. Performed uninstall/install and doesn't fix the load failure error. Does at times help with the not in your area message. App on phone works better than TV version.

rating hulu any higher than 1 star is a crime. imagine paying 11 dollars a month to watch 6 minutes worth of ads per video, that sometimes freeze a couple more minutes, bug out, or the app crashes. if that's not enough, if you want to disable the ads, you gotta spend 20 a month. youtube, which is completely free is better. don't spend any money on hulu.

i love hulu, but this app is horrible. it often doesn't save my progress properly and I have to spend time guessing where I left off. I also hate that when I go to my home screen, the pop out window pauses the show and I have to press pause and play to start it again. I also love watching with captions; when it goes into PiP captions cover content. it would also be nice if it automatically bumped the brightness up like Netflix does. the app needs a lot of work, but the service itself is great.

The commercial mechanism is pure trash. I don't have a problem with some commercials, I chose the subscription that includes commercials. But the app always seems to find a way to show me commercials after I've already watched them. If I rewind part of a show that I'm watching and I happen to go past a commercial break that I've also already watched, I have to watch all those commercials again. This is why I prefer Peacock.

I have three major issues with the app. 1. Some shows have a voice dictating even though the option is off. Only leaving that show for an extended period of time seems to fix it. 2. I've been kicked off for other people watching before. Only two screens can watch at a time, but if I'm actively watching, why do I get kicked and then get told too many screens are streaming? 3. The autoplay feature skips to the next episode early a lot. There should be an option to autoplay after the credits end.

Love the shows! HATE THE AMOUNT OF ADS! It feels like every few seconds theres ads. I have HBO and Paramount also. It doesnt feel like they have as many ads as Hulu. I use that time to get snacks, water, or do anything but sit through these annoying interruptions, but its still ridiculous considering its a paid app. Theyre not going to annoy me into paying more for less ads. 😒 I will keep ignoring them, but geez!

Greedy, outrageous prices and a poorly maintained app. Disliking movies/shows is a waste of time. They aren't removed, instead they show up on my homepage. Receiving new movies and shows takes forever and only a few appear at a time. Same old, same old. Too many foreign movies and shows.

6-7 min of ads per episode!!! Absolutely horrible. I watch exclusively on my phone as I'm sure a lot of people do. God forbid you accidentally touch the screen while the 1:30 of ads are playing because you have to sit through them all over again, even if you just had a few seconds left. Accidentally fast forward too far? Enjoy another 1:30 of adds. Get a text? Enjoy another 1:30 of adds. No picture in picture. Canceld, this app is worse than Prime Video and that says a lot.

I'm tired of this app skipping ahead completely out of the blue, and then having to rewind to see that part, only for it to keep skipping back to the part after. Then if I just want to rewind to see something that I missed, it automatically skips ahead. So annoying. No other streaming service does this. You have to fix this. And it's not just on my phone either. It happens on my phone, my tv, my Xbox. And if you try and watch in your car with Bluetooth on it won't let you. Error code pops up!

Only reason it gets Three stars instead of Five is simple. When using the app on gaming consoles if at any point, you fall asleep or let it continue playing shows or movies without touching your controller, it tends to freeze and give error messages when you try to start watching again. For example if I am smoking a blunt and take a break from touching the input it starts error coding. then the only way to fix it is a complete closing of the app and then restart it.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. I'm officially done. Hulu is the only app that gives me problems anytime I want to play a show or movie. It freezes in the very beginning or won't play at all. And don't try and rewind anything because it will just skip over it and won't let you do it anyway. I really tried because I like a lot of the shows but way too frustrating. what's the point if you can't watch anything!!?? byeeeeeeeee

Hulu is terrible and the worst app I've ever used. There are constant errors, buffering and getting kicked out of the app on a daily basis. And if you're watching any high demand broadcast, such as the Olympics or Super Bowl the picture quality is poor and experience is worse. And it is impossible to get any of their support people to help. And when you do, it's the same routine over and over again, blaming it on my internet connection. Yet I have no issues on any other streaming service.

Please fix the subtitles, specifically regarding the performance of your app on the PS5. They randomly turn off in intervals throughout the film, and the only way to fix it is to exit the film and return back. it's extremely frustrating. Another complaint is that once an ad comes up, sometimes the subtitles will turn off immediately after the ad is finished. Exiting out the film and returning to refresh the subtitles leaves you with an endless loop of ads, which is unfair and poor practice.

Trouble with jittering/halting video on high-end Android devices. This has been happening for years (and isn't fixed by downgrading the refresh rate). I've opened support tickets with them many times, but they're just not interested in fixing the problem. Add this to the decade-plus long issue with failover internet connections, all in the name of advertising, and this is one of the worst streaming platforms for actual users.

I don't understand the locked movies. it only offers 2 subscription choices and I choose the more expensive one and still don't get access to the full library if i want to watch a movie or show it says, "sorry, your subscription doesnt include this movie/show." what am I paying $20 a month for then? what a rip.

app by itself isn't bad. no bugs or any flaws. except the ads are excessive, generally popping up every 5 minutes, even on 15-minute episodes. and its not short ones, either. its usually at least 3 minutes of ads, eveb though i pay a monthly subscription for it. Only service in the world that makes me watch an add for content i pay for.

This app doesn't keep your place. So you have to skip around to find it. An ad break with every click of the screen. I've watched up to 10 minutes of ads, just to find where I left off. Worse, it signs you out of the app while watching. In the middle of a show, it just throws you out. Then emails that someone signed in to your acct each sign-in. Edit..Now they've taken up the same "cause" as Disney. One that I want no part of. And I certainly won't support it with my money. Last straw. I'm out.

The amount of ads in this PREMIUM subscription service is nuts as well as their placement. You can be watching an old show that has natural breaks for commercials but they'll stick ads in the MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE. Then, after watching multiple minutes of ads, you rewind to watch the scene uninterrupted and guess what? The ads replay at the exact same spot. And then, less than 5 minutes later, multiple more ads. I paid for a subscription to watch content. Not constant ads. Unsubscribing.

I love the content selection, but the app is problematic. It lacks a screen lock feature, causing accidental touches to interrupt viewing. The app also fails to keep track of my progress in individual shows, and I have to skip around to find my place. Furthermore, the app frequently logs me out mid-stream, will also cut audio mid-stream yet contine video, which is frustrating. If these issues aren't resolved, I'll likely cancel my service.

if you're planning to do ads, DONT! it's not because you have to watch ads, it's because Hulu changed how they do them. now not only have the changed ad position s to not the built in show ones (as in they'll do it in the middle of a conversation) but when the ad comes the screen gets darker and sound fades out, so you'll miss important details and conversations. it's ridiculous. I've only seen it happen with the animes tho. You'll even sometimes watch 2 interactive ads instead of 1 back to back

I love this app. I have it on every device I own. But I have been finding myself getting frustrated with it lately. For some reason it wants me to pick every episode I watch of Bob's Burgers instead of just playing them like it does with literally every other show. which isn't a major deal, but it is very annoying when I am trying to listen to the TV while I play my switch. I have to stop every 20 minutes or so to choose the next episode. so for that, 4 stars only.

The app is awful. I get logged out of my account all the time, sometimes while I'm in the middle of a show. I have to try to remember where I stopped watching because it's so bad at keeping up with your progress. Just a lot of little annoying problems that every other streaming app doesn't have.

The first 14-15 years of this app (or however long it's been out) have been fantastic. Unfortunately, I've been forcibly logged out several times a day for about 3-4 months now with no explanation. Hulu claims this has been normal if logged in on multiple (2+) devices, yet it's never happened before. It's not only annoying, but defeats the purpose of paying for the ability to download as the logging out process deletes all downloads, and in areas with no service, there is no alternative.

I like the shows on here, my main problem is the ads--I don't mind watching ads, but when I pause after an ad is done playing, to answer a text/other notification, the whole entire episode will restart and then I have to go through the ads all over again while finding where I left off and that's extremely irritating. Please fix this, thanks.

Constantly forgets my log in info. Also has horrible buffering for up to minutes at a time. And possibly the worst continue where you left off out of any streaming app I have used. The loading at the start of a show is painfully slow where as my phone connects instantly on any other app. And if you pause your show and god forbids your screen times out you basically have to completely exit out and re open the app. Horrible optimization and the app works like something from 2012

Dont even try getting the mobile app. I've tried logging in and making a new account and only ever get "oops something went wrong...." message. even tried un-installing and re-installing to see if that. I even tried checking for updates on the Galaxy store and the Play Store on my Galaxy S24+, and based on the other reviews. This just isn't worth the trouble or time. It's just another thing that Disney buys and destroys.

I absolutely LOVE this app! It is one of the best streaming services available to date. I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for one small thing. The movies are extremely tiny when viewing on a smartphone. There isn't any way to expand it or make it larger. Hulu staff, you guys have to fix this, please! It's very annoying watching a movie with a tiny screen. I don't have a tablet/laptop. All I got is my phone. So, please allow the ability to expand the screen. Thanks!

So much QoL oversight, I'm convinced it's done on purpose. Devs, get Netflix app and take notes. Downloaded shows don't auto play, end of episode takes you back to download page. "Highest" download quality is 480p. Audio + video on downloaded items need a sec to sync up why? No way to mass delete off device, have to press delete + confirm deletion why? Download caps @ 25 items why? Downloads "expire" 24hrs after pressing play why? I'm constantly asking why every time I use this app. Fix it.

Captions either don't work at all or don't keep up with the voices. It's not my phone or our system because none of our other channels are doing this. Highly disappointing. A month later and captions are still not working. I have brand new router and modem and have no issues with other channels. Only Hulu. Please fix this problem.
