Too many advertisementI got “free” paramount plus’s with my Walmart subs. But the free means I have to watch 6’ if advertisement on a 20’ show!

BadApp requires an update to use, but there’s no update available… so I can’t use the app at all

Keyboard shortcuts don’t workKeyboard shortcuts don’t work otherwise this app would get 4-stars.

Really recommend!Best app!

Unskippable ads on ad-free planDespite paying for their top ad free plan it occasionally has ads that can’t be skipped. Hey Paramount, I am not interested in Yellowjackets so stop making me watch the ad! Also the navigation on aTV be can real confusing. The streaming quality is always excellent though.

My name is DesireeCan you bring back NCIS: Hawaii on Paramount+ please 🙏 💗💖💕❤️💞🩷💘💓
