Crave Reviews 305

We have premium subscription. Most of the programs still contains ads. Contacted crave support and they stated they run programming from other providers which have ads. This is not mentioned on their subscription page. I find this is a dishonest business practice and have cancelled my subscription. I urge people to confirm they know what they are getting for their "Premium Subscription".

Used to be great ever since Bell
Media took over its trash! It feels like it’s now run by a ma and pop shop. The platform stinks!

The worst streaming site I have ever used. Lots of buffering and freezing.

Worst streaming service. Content is good, if you can find it. When you do, not only will ypu be subjected to MORE ads than network TV (remember, you're PAYING for this)...but the menu is clunky.. you can't surf between episodes to find the one you want, and again...SO MANY ADS....this service isn't worth ANY extra $....at all..

Shows don't load half the time, when they do they constantly lag. Other streaming services work fine on my internet, it is specifically Crave that has issues.

C’est honnêtement l’une des pires plateformes que j’ai utilisées. Impossible d’écouter un épisode sans subir des bugs. Si tu mets quelque chose sur pause et que tu reviens plus tard, la plateforme est incapable de reprendre là où tu étais : tu dois recommencer l’épisode et avancer manuellement.

Quant au contenu, c’est tout aussi décevant. On retrouve surtout des films et des séries qui datent d’il y a plus de 20 ans. Très peu de nouveautés, presque rien d’actuel.

Et les publicités… aucune variété. Les mêmes annonces tournent en boucle pendant des heures. On dirait une stratégie pour pousser les utilisateurs à payer un forfait sans publicité.

Au final, ça ressemble davantage à une grosse arnaque qu’à un service de qualité.

Streaming is spotty and always keeps buffering. Customer support is useless and have no compassion at all. Will never use Crave again. Should’ve known better because it’s by Bell! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Don't waste your money. This app ruins its content with too many ads and constantly in French. Most content is low brow, poorly written garbage.

way too many adds. i swear i get ads every 5 minutes and its not just one 15 second ad, its three 30 second ads. AND ITS THE SAME ADS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. one or two ads is whatever, but this is crazy over kill. i stopped using it for this reason and hope they can work towards this issue.

Awful app. Frequent crashes and poor performance!! If I could i would give it no star

Terrible streaming service. A minute or 2 of Ad’s every 5-7 minutes. Volume on the ad’s is 2x louder than the show you’re watching. Cancelling this shit after the Soprano’s. I use prime and netflix happily and can’t stand these crave pricks

Crave has too many commercials. I pay for other apps that have commercials but not as many as Crave. Netflix has maybe four through a whole movie. Crave has 3-4 in one go around about three times during a movie. I watch the Global app free of charge and they don't even have as many commercials as Crave. It's too much on top of paying for the Service. Every time I try Crave because I like a show, I remember why I don't want to pay for them.

Just before christmas Crave had a Promotion for an annual plan which i signed up for and when i used the app just about everything was in french,I checked all my settings and they were in english. I contacted Crave and they had me check settings reboot my apple box i told them it was connected by wire and they said that they would write up a ticket for a work order. Now over a month later and 3 more phone calls i asked for a refund because nothing was done they said that i agreed to a nonrefundable subscription i agreed, but i didn't agree to a subscription in french. They said they can cancel my subscription but no refund this is the worst customer service i ever encountered

Commercials often occur mid sentence, the screen turns black for a few minutes often. Commercials are often.

Too much french content, I live in BC

Worst streaming service ever. Randomly opens up to an episode that isn’t where you’ve left off, and does not let you just select the episode you want. It forces you to fast forward each individual episode but every few minutes makes you watch several commercials. So I spent twenty minutes just watching commercials and I’m still not at the episode I had originally left off at. Bell Media, you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself. This company is absolute proof that monopolies are lazy and greedy, with no impetus for innovation.

La plateforme la plus stupide. Avec cette plateforme tu ne choisis pas les paramètres c'est crave qui choisi pour toi. Mais pourquoi je paye le service plus alors que tout est brouille, je peux pas choisir l'audio, ni les épisodes à regarder ben ça me dépasse. Après Drag Race je me désabonne

Out of all of the TV apps I use... crave is the worst! Severally bad connectivity issues... really choppy and lags like you wouldn't believe. No other services is so bad! Glad I didn't pay anything for it.
Been bad and constantly getting worse. No other app is this laggy

Now with Ads, even if you pay!

So, even if you pay for not having ads, Crave now adds advertisements in some shows. For example, I was watching Orphan Black without ads on my ads free plan & starting this week, there are ads in the show; same show, same ad-free plan, but now it has adds which I cannot skip during viewing.

I would ask: why am I paying for a ad-free plan if they can add advertisements in any show they see fit? Doesn't it defeat the purpose of an ad-free plan? Is it still an ad-free plan?

In my opinion, this is despicable. They keep raising prices & give less to the viewers who pay.

Total bs, you pay so much for nothing good and most shows you wanna watch are in french , crave constantly lags,when you shut off your remote it kicks you out of the film you're watching, if you pay for the most expensive plan there's also still ads on certain tv shows and films 0.25/10 Stars
