Hulu freezes after commercials
It's bad enough that Hulu makes me watch the same commercials during every break of every show, but now the app freezes after each commercial break. I have to turn off the TV, turn it back on, restart Hulu, restart the show, and re-watch the commercials.
Then maybe I get to see the next segment of the show. This stinks. I'm almost ready to go back to cable. And that's saying something.
( i'm using Hulu on a Vizio TV, hardwired, with excellent broadband service. It's Hulu, not me.)
The new interface is wretched
I canceled after being forced to use the new interface. It's difficult to navigate and has removed many of the features that made the old Hulu interface so user friendly.
Autoplay will play shows you do not want to watch. Your watchlist is difficult to find and no longer allows you to find your unwatched shows at the top of the list. It is VERY easy to find shows that you do not want to watch, as Hulu will shove them down your throat on every screen. What you won't see?
Your stuff.
People have been complaining about this for months after they were forced to use this UI on other devices...but Hulu pushed it anyway.
I am not paying for a service that ignores it's customers and, because of that, has no clue what they want.
0/10. Bye bye!
- Some shows
- Old hulu
- New ui
- Hulu does not respond to its own feedback site
Preferred solution: Restore the previous UI.

Verified Reviewer |Buffering issues--not resolved for at least the fourth time, more like sixth
At least 3-4 times per yr I cannot stream on my home theater, although I can on my laptop. I go through all the system/speed checks recommended online.
I am asked to unplug a very difficult arrangement of cables behind the cabinet and uninstall. Unacceptable! March 8, 2024
Finallly, my son had to fix the problem...yet again over Facetime. And he was at work!
See the screenshot below under Media Files for what happens when you click on "we can help" after doing all their recommendations for "I'm experiencing buffering and other playback issues." What you get is: "Sorry, we can't find the page you're looking for." Ugh!! All my other streaming services: Netflix, Prime, PBS, Disney+, Apple+, Paramount, Max, Showtime, and Topic have no problems.
What is wrong with Hulu/Disney+??? Disney by itself presents no problems.
User's recommendation: Think about not signing up. Just buy or rent the few shows that you are paying $11.99/month for.

Verified ReviewerCalled to fix an issue that happens all the time, and never completely resolved
- It is cheap
- You have to keep resetting
- At least once a week to watch the app so in actuality
- Time is money too
Preferred solution: A better streaming service it’s not user-friendly it’s not customer friendly and issues. Keep occurring that should not be.
User's recommendation: I would not recommend wasting your time with this app you’ll save time and money getting separate apps

Verified ReviewerUnbelievable!!
This has been a four-month process. Today now is the ultimate clue that this company has no clue how they're training.
Can never escalate past a normal customer service agent cuz this needs to be taken by management. Was supposed to receive a 4-month credit on my account as listed from a better Business bureau response from a tier 3 specialist Sara F. Called after a couple weeks to find out where my credit was they opened a new claim claiming that that would happen. Received a claim number two weeks later still nothing.
Today was told could fix it. Only received two and a half months credit. Was told they would have to cancel my current subscription which I've already paid through till the next month. Which now I have to pay for another full billing cycle in the middle of the one I already paid for.
Was told that I would have to resubscribe. Cannot log back into the platform through Hulu but logged back in through Disney repaid my $24.99. and now can't log anywhere through apps, roku's, etc. I have spent 5 hours on the phone with this company total, filed a complaint with the better Business bureau, no one can finish what they claim they are doing.
This credit was offered to me, not begged or as a complaint.
It was a confusion on their end. Cannot understand why I can't get past basic employee and speak to a real upper management person that can solve this problem.
- Great line up and bundles
- Poor customer service care
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Steer clear.
I'm pissed
- Many good shows
- Service and support is difficult
Preferred solution: I'd like to be able to watch my show. And I'd also like less commercials, or a price reduction

Verified ReviewerCost to get Hulu live streaming and intro plans
- Program offerings are numerous and there is great program cariety
- No trial period or intro cost and too costly vs other providers
Preferred solution: It would be lovely if advertised information was correct and that Hulu does not leave one feeling as if a bait and switch tactic is used to lure one into seeking services to find the company does not choose to honor media advertised prices.
User's recommendation: Offer the advertised intro offers or ensure that they are taken down .
Hulu is trash
- Nithing
- Adds & never works
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Actually answer the phone

I have not been able go connect either! It is over and over i have been calling.. Absolute worst T jaffers
Same here. I cancelled yesterday after it locked up during the final seocnds of NCAA tournament game - yet another one of their problems.
The same thing happens on one of our tvs
Hulu jacks up the volume when the commercials come on. VERY ANNOYING!
@@@
Hulu continues to raise their prices while their services continues to decline, they don't offer their customers any resolution and contacting them is extremely difficult. Time to search for new streaming service
I agree that hulu is constantly raising their prices for sucky services At times you are lucky to get through an entire movie or television show without the service freezing. Shameful.
Dropped Live for basic $14 plan. I do not need ESPN and Disney.
The "Hulu Freeze" continues. Someone from Hulu six months ago actually had the balls to simply post: "This sounds like behavior that our teams are currently looking into?" Guess what?
You failed. Are failing. No fix yet. Are y'all still working on it?
What seems to be the problem? Why isn't my $64.99 a month paying for new coders, because the ones you have now apparently are incompetent? How 'bout an update? I am giving you an update.
The comments are giving you an update. My Hulu freezes all the time. Commercials, between shows, in the middle of an amazing finish to a sporting event.
They know that the "uninstall and reinstall" the app instructions is a smokescreen to say "we do not know what the *** we are doing." Dumping Hulu again. If Hulu is the model for "streaming is the future," give me back my coaxial cable.
Experienced the same song and dance on April 28th! Tired of watching at 10 - 30 minute intervals.
Seriously considering returning to satellite TV. Cost is higher but performance (unless there's bad weather) is consistent.
