re: Why why why is the Paramount + app such a steaming pile of crap?

We're getting it free through Walmart +. I looked into upgrading it but it doesn't appear to be an option with our plan.
It is! I just did it myself not long ago. Upgrade through Walmart app not Paramount IIRC.

It works a lot better than ESPN and Bally’s at least.

WTF are you talking about. I get OG Perry Mason reruns 24/7. That alone justifies the existence of Paramount+.

Weird. I have fire tv and never had one hangup

I find Max to be the worst (even the name is stupid).

Out of the blue Sling starts freezing up. When you’re watching a game and clock hits the hour or half hour the screen freezes but the sound continues. We have to hit the reverse button for the vid to catch up.

Love how Netflix just blew past subscriber expectations and the rest can't figure out that their revised apps suck on many TVs older than 3 years. P+ and Max work on Firestick, but the subscription info does not always pass through properly if you subscribe via Amazon. I gave up on both...don't need the hassle.

I checked it last night. My only other option was to pay $65 more and get Showtime as well. I did t see any way to upgrade P+.

I have P+ and watch through the app on my Samsung TV. I have never noticed a problem like this, but if I have internet connection problems, I will sometimes need to reload the app.

No it's definitely Showtime and Paramount+
If I had meant what you thought I meant universal would have been capitalized. My point was Showtime does not just come with P+ on Cox but with all streaming services so universal. In retrospect it was a poor choice of word on my part.

I use firestick and have found by going to applications, force stop and clear cache on paramount the show works.
Not a permanent fix but I can get through an episode without restarting after a commercial.
Search shows many have problems and Pplus is aware but not doing anything to improve.
This works most of the time for me. On a few occasions the app launches sits at the P+ screen for a bit then quits. The only solution has been to clear data which I then have to login to the app all over again. PITA for sure.
I've also had the issue where after an Ad break we're returned to a spot that we've already watched and have to fast forward.
