Since signing up to Paramount with ads, it seems the ads have increased twice-fold. The ads are every five mins at least during streaming. But it wasn’t like this when I trialled the service. Library is average, nothing great. Pity I paid for a year!
We already had an account and then paid for a 12 month special at half price. We assumed our other membership would be cancelled being it’s all linked to your email address and sign in but we kept getting charged and paid twice for one service. No help from Paramount Plus at all and would only offer part refund but we had to terminate our account.… Read more
Be very careful with paramount they advertise specials and draw customers in and overcharge and have no customer service. Extremely disappointing. Unlike Netflix who recognise your log in and don’t allow duplicate payments.
One of the worst platforms i have used. I cancelled my account with them so what did they do, well they still took money from my account and now I can't cancel my account at all nothing more than a bunch of thieves

It’s not the first time this has happened live. In my opinion Stan is better
I payed but I don't get any movies or series, it gives me the spinning wheels for ever. when I first joint the movies or series get cut off halfway through. I am now unsubscribing as we speak and never joining again. Tech support give you a ticket that gets no reply....they also cut your chat off .
Worst streaming service EVER. Opens fine and gives a wonderful layout of choices including playing previews of the show - THEN try watching anything and constant errors e.g. 3005, 6000 ... Basically it wants me to shutdown everything from the TV to the modem (I use Starlink), but still no good. YET EVERY OTHER APP STREAMS FINE ! ! ! Worst… Read more
spend ever and defintely won't be renewing - I could download the entire series from the net faster than waiting for this app to ever work.
- +1
Worst ever!!!! – Worst ever! Constant dropouts. No customer service. They wonder why illegal dl happen…
Paramount+ is a minus – In a word WORST WORST WORST. Not only cant i watch anything since 3 weeks ago but just try to get an answer out of ,ofcourse, a chatbot!!. I did the router thing so many times lost count, everything else is no trouble but PARAMOUNT+ AND 10PLAY ARE THE PITS. WONT RENEW THIS APP WHEN RUNS OUT, I WILL BUY THE DVDS . Show details

So paramount get this UFC deal and in Australia we only get the preliminary bouts and Fight Nights... ripped off. Well they can't seem to get that… Read more
right. For example the Allen Costa fight night only has the preliminary bouts and the fight night is supposed to be available. It's not the first time it's happened and it's frustrating for a genuine fan of the sport.
Follow-up · Ok folks, I haven't had the same issue and the latest fight nights have been posted on time (-:
Follow-up · The fight nights have been available on time....yay!
Can't provide an experience equal to the competition – Have tried to watch the first episode of Lawman Bass Reeves several times now. It's a jittery, stuttery mess, yet everything else we stream is fine (across multiple platforms).The reviews here have already said it, Paramount's infrastructure can't… Read more
cope with the number of subscriptions they're selling. We'll be seeking a refund on their 'discounted' subscription, it's a joke.
Follow-up · A lot more stable than it once was, they've obviously upgraded their servers over time. Decent shows on offer seem to come in fits and spurts. Generally I avoid Paramount for months on end rather than get sucked into the drip feed trap.
Shocking streaming quality and regularly lagging on a modern LG TV... the only app that regularly has issues, all others are absolutely fine. The UI of the app itself is quite average as well, navigation is clunky especially given I'm mainly… Read more
interested in sport which has been added as an afterthought. Content-wise, as a sport lover, often have to wait for a long time before a match replay or a highlights package becomes available.
Follow-up · A quick update, a year onwards. The streaming quality and lag seems to be a bit device dependent, though the app generally struggles on LG TVs, especially older generation. From user interface/navigation perspective, no real changes, and also no noticeable improvement in terms of how long one must wait for replays or highlights packages to be… Read more
Positive reviews
I love this one, we pay for the annual subscription then cancel future direct debits and we have it for 12 months in our timing. There's always something we can watch

I started with the free trial and then moved to yearly, I pay per month $10 I think. I watch from my tv with a HDMI cable I have FETCH TV box, although can stream through TV have a LG. I have never experienced any issues that some ate complaining about, even on iPhone and iPad all stream well. I get to watch all my favourite series programmes FBI… Read more
all of them, NCIS, Elsbeth, rewatch CSI. There are so many to choices series to choose from. Movies there are a lot there sometimes wish they had a few more new ones to watch that I like, but overall I am happy with the service.
Great streaming – Not sure why there are so many bad reviews, my experience has been great. I have 50mbps internet speed on a 4k tv and the quality of HD streaming is great, nothing different than any other platform. I don't watch live sport so I can't say much about live stream. Content is great, Halo, NCIS franchises, All Taylor Sheridan shows (creator of… Read more
Yellowstone), all paramount studios movies like Top Gun: Maverick, mission impossible, Titanic, Transformers etc. I always keep logged on to my TV without issues. I have foxtel, netflix and Disney+ and I find I watch paramount+ the most.
Negative reviews
Paid for no ads and got ads, there's not even 3 good options of movies or series to watch. Don't even get UFC main events in Australia. It's a temu/wish version of Netflix with buffering issues, ads and no entertainment
Absolutely the worst pay Tv app!!!! Constantly glitching no matter how many times I reinstall it, can’t enjoy a show with all the stopping and starting… so crap
Don’t even bother trying to watch old shows like Star Trek. The quality was far superior when it was on Netflix. I watched it through prime so I thought if I tried through the paramount app it would be better but it’s not. The standard subscription is like watching it on the dvds before blu ray came out with the added lag of a stream. I hate capitalism.

OMG what a crappy platform yet happy to take your $$$, when viewing if you pause you then have to exit out because their Advertisements are imprinted over what you are trying to watch, has trouble remembering where you left off in a series. They try to suck you in by releasing a episode per week of a series and then you have to wait god knows how… Read more
long to find out the ending, take M.I.A for instance no idea how it ends and no idea when it will! next year, year after its a mystery.. I now have this 6000 error trying to contact them is impossible as their bot is unreachable, you have to know keyboard magic to get in..
Got it for Ufc, add free for 12mths. Absolutely useless, can't see main card, instead of adds l get a blank screen saying adds are showing. Cuts off before fight finishes or before after fight interview is finished. Can't believe UFC will put up with this, they won't have any viewers left. Wish l hadn't taken 12 mth subscription. Absolute garbage after ESPN set the bench mark.
Dog trash only on it for UFC and watching replays is like watching Minecraft people fighting. Unwatchable useless. Sold out a sport for these clowns to ruin the experience.
Whilst the platform has many great shows it continually buffers and times out. Also on the day I joined for a monthly subcription it not only charged me for the month but also charged me for an annual subscription. This was a week ago & the charge is still sitting in my account.

I won't be using again. Its a shame as I've had it to watch Star Trek, but they are cutting scenes which gives the show a completely different vibe. The subtitles were often incorrect too. Not worth it.
Well what can I say about this terrible American streaming company. If you want corny gun ho American faeces then this is the place for you. The only good show was the late night with Stephen Colbert's show and they got rid of it because their lunatic orange president didn't like it. What a joke. Boycott this platform because it is awful and because they bowed down the mad orange [Content Removed], cheers
I am so sick of this 3005 error. Do I really have to clear my data, cache, cookies, unplug my router, restart my browser and laptop EVERY SINGLE TIME?!!?!? even if the problem goes away, it come back and interrupts every couple of minutes. This site is so frustrating and p#thetic compared to all the other streaming platforms. i'm so OVER IT!!!!… Read more
i'm about to just cancel my subscription because the nonstop errors are infuriating and not worth it. Yes i've tried incognito tabs, yes i've disabled ad blockers and other extensions, yes i've tried other browsers, yes i've tried the app, yes yes yes, i've tried it all. i go through all this CR#P and it STILL keeps happening over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

They have a diverse range of shows and movies to watch but if I hadn't subcribed for a year I would of unsubscribed due to the constant glitching and freezing. It drives me nuts.
Absolute joke we pay for a subscription but it constantly buffering. Try watch the UFC its annoying every fight buffers multiple times per fight. Australia the only Country to pay for the fights
The worst service, I paid subscription tried putting in my TV then couldn't access on my phone then can't change password then you can't get any help with online and you can't get an agent to talk to you are in an unending loop
Love the shows and things on paramount but god does this app make it difficult to watch them! It never lists anywhere the current things im watching to continue on where i left off like every other streaming app. I have to search for the show each time manually. When I do find my show, most of the time its not saved were I’ve left off so I have a… Read more
ten minute guessing game of which episode and how far through was I. Finally, the volume randomly turns itself off. Sometimes you’ll be watching all fine and suddenly no sound, but of course the ad sounds still work during that time . Really frustrating. Lots of bugs they need to iron out.
Worst platform ever. I subscribed only due to the UFC being available on this platform, but ever since I have not been able to watch an entire event without it glitching and showing errors. It also shows previews of the fights.
