Watching on my TV it gets stuck in some sort of ad loop. Plays commercials for 20-30 minutes at times and it can be the same ads multiple times in a row. I would pay for an ad free version just to avoid how annoying it is. As I'm typing this negative review I've counted over 30 ads..backed out..and am now over 30 again. It's disgusting. I have to turn my show off now because I'm over 50 ads at this point. Please sell your shows to a premium streaming service if you can't get your house in order.

One of the most money grabbing apps I've ever used. If you try to go back to a point in the video that's before an ad it replays all of the ads you've already watched even if you already seen them. And if you think that you'll just click after where the ad is, good luck because if you click within 2 minutes of the ad in either direction it still makes you watch 5 mins of ads. Bad app, I don't recommend.

The app needs work. Major work. While they provide great viewing options the organization and search options for the shows are so confusing that you literally have to scroll on the main page to find what you are looking for instead of looking it up by show title. I've had to lower my rating because of the confusing way they have updated the search options and the fact that the app instantly chooses the next program you are watching for you after you finish the one you are on.

Far and away the worst streaming app I've used; hard to navigate, impossible to search, takes 4x the keystrokes- but until recently at least you could watch a show. Now you can't. Every program freezes during the first commercial break and will never load or go beyond that. This occurs on multiple platforms, Roku Vizio, and Android to name three. I'm done with this. I will be watching CW content through, shall we say, other means from here on.

I had an issue with the app not opening, but it turns out that the Google VPN doesn't play well with The CW app. Pixel 6 with Android 12, btw. Disconnecting the VPN allows the app to work. It won't rotate on the screen, the only reason this is not a 5 star review. However, the closed captioning now works with Chromecast correctly (on the old phone's app, I had to reset closed captioning after each ad break). That is a welcome fix!

The app is very glitchy and constantly showing error "sorry for the inconvenience but we've encountered a problem" and it's always on the freshly loaded shows and episodes... But overall I love being able to watch my favorite night time shows the day they are set to air while the kids are in school and hubby at work...

There are major issues with playback. 1 it never starts where i actually left off. 2 i can no longer fast forward or rewind in the show because the show plays as an ad with the word ad in the bottom left corner. I am also now having issues with searching series, in stead it brings up every episode from the series instead of just the list of series names. Since you combined cw seed with cw it is harder to navigate than ever. Separate them please.

Worst app ever! Buffering issues randomly. Shows the same 8 commercials over and over and over again that you can't fast forward through. I understand advertising is nessesary to make it free but c'mon, the same commercials over and over again just make me uptight. I can't finish an episode . Don't recommend , unless you can stay awake through the commercials

It is great seeing our favorite CW shows. The app could be a bit clunky. The key problem is CC closed captioning. Sometimes it's out of synch with audio by 5 mins or more. When each Ad finishes it disappears. I manually reset it. On my end the casting gets blurry. When I get money I'll buy a new Chromecast. Till then let me know what you could fix?

Mos. A. May 7, 2022     

I remember why I don't use this app anymore. Over the last two or three months it changed to playing 5 to 8 minutes of commercials. The worse part is that they play the same 3 to 4 commercials over and over and over. I swear I must have watched 8 minutes of the same commercials, it completely defeats the purpose of streaming. There is littleraly just as much commercial time ate there is show time. Pointless

I love cw shows mostly flash and superman but to be honest this is by far the worst streaming app ever, always gives me a black screen at random every time I try to use it to watch a show, and the only way to fix it is to reinstall it, very frustrating and needs to be fixed.

The app worked fine, and I was able to stream my shows without a problem, until my Shield updated to Android 11. If I try to watch a show, I am able to watch the introductory commercials, but within a few minutes if the show playing, the app always crashes. I even replaced my Shield, today. It is the exact same model as the one I have had for years. I had hoped that it would have Android 10. It came with Android 11 automatically updating on setup. It works on my Pixel phone, Android 11.

Ton. M. May 3, 2022     

The app will get stuck showing like 10 to 15 minutes of the same 4 or 5 commercials. If you back out, it starts the show you're watching over. Very annoying and frustrating. I've literally viewed the same commercials over 5 times each during one break...

Ken. E. Apr 27, 2022     

Missing options that would improve App. 1. Being able to save shows in a list for future viewing. 2. Being able to select to view on smart tv from App. 3. Has limited settings. Needs more options in settings.

Always an error, every time. At least it pretends to come on on my Fire stick devices for about 5 min then error. It does not fome 9n at all on my android phone with or without VPN. It does come on my laptop for commercials when program returns ERROR and exit. Constantly restarting my laptop connection.

Val. G. May 1, 2022     

Between ads and buffering I'm over The CW and the fact that it doesn't always resume but starts all over is RIDICULOUS. I wish I could my shows some other way🤬😠😓 This is going from bad to WORSE! I have been trying to watch for 2 weeks on my phone or TV just spins and not at peak hours 2 or 3am same thing

Jac. P. Apr 28, 2022     

The whole series I want to watch isn't there,, just mainly series 4. Too many ads with short intervals for more ads! 2 ads every 15 min is plenty. I'm not using this anymore and will be deleting this app as soon as a I log off. Very disappointed 😞

Sta. May 16, 2022     

Constantly replays the same commercials. Halfway through the show, the commercials would not stop, lasted 25 minutes before my show came back on! This happens constantly!! Seriously, far too many commercials!!!!!!!

Rob. S. May 26, 2022     

Really Love this app, I can keep up on everything I love to watch on the CW Network and it's completely free. Have used this app for over two years, never have any issues come up and never any charges. Reading other people's reviews left me pretty confused because I have had any major issues with this app. Thanks to whoever created this app

Dav. K. May 2, 2022     

Extremely difficult to navigate and watch a full show. So far, I can only watch 30 second clips of past episodes. If I want to watch a full episode then I have to watch a more current episode.

hen. b. Mar 1, 2022     

It's fine. Basic UI. Can't search for shows but they have all of their programs on one page, and it's not too many so that's not really a huge issue. DATA USAGE though, oof. From 2/22-2/28 I've used 53gb which is all of my data. Oops. Youtube, Netflix, Reddit, and chrome (which I use other streaming services) PUT TOGETHER in this timeline only amounts to ~5.5gb. With this, I gotta hop off the app. It's too bad really. *I don't watch new episodes*

Lis. R. May 9, 2022     

The app won't let me watch my shows, goes to a black screen every time I try to watch anything. I've uninstalled then reinstalled and it still won't work! It was working a few days ago, but not anymore, very annoying!

Dan. C. May 4, 2022     

Having to have CW & CW apps is a pain, but it's particularly frustrating not having the apps connect across devices, so once I start a show on one device the apps on my other devices don't know and I can't pick up where I left off. That's pretty much a standard feature on all streaming services now.

Que. W. Apr 13, 2022     

I like that I can watch my shows on the CW. I wish it didn't have so many ads. I understand that's how every one gets paid but I would pay to see less ads. It would be nice if I could watch between devices. I'm watching down stairs and when I move upstairs I have to fast forward, watch all the ads, fast forward again until I get to the place I left off. It's very time consuming. 3 stars for now, if the change the things I listed they will get a 5.

Cli. B. May 26, 2022     

Very choppy it freezes all the time on my fire stick,there isn't an available download for me to put on my Samsung Smart TV and when I try to cast from my tablet to my TV is freezes and gets the sound out of sink. NEEDS A LOT OF WORK.
