    What is your favorite free streaming service?

    • @down813

      My favorite free streaming service has gotta be UA-cam. I'd say while paying for an ad-free streaming service is worth your money, watching videos for free on UA-cam is definitely worth your time.

    I think it's definately a service that those who pretty much stay with free tv should have in their lineup, but I also agree with your putting it last.
    I personally prefer the live tv services, but a lot of stuff that I can't find on UA-cam tv (the live service I have) can be found on these free services, with commercials, and you can't beat the price.
    Nothing is perfect. 😁

      Agreed, if you're largely looking for the most economical way to get content then Crackle is going to be worth a look. They're trying to make *some* upgrades, like they're just recently announced loyalty program. But, even with that we'd put them squarely behind the likes of Tubi, Pluto, or Roku channels.

    This is very insightful, thank you. My question is, how do you read the full synopsis for movies or TV shows on Crackle? 🤔📱📺🍿❓ Usually I can click the three dots with my Fire Tv stick to read full synopsis after selecting a tv show or movie but not on Crackle?

    when you watch cracked it will show an Advertisement but no commercial appear? It’s just stops? the tv show doesn’t come back?

    Crackle is a really good free service.It's a good go to in one's lineup.I prefer Pluto and Tubi but Crackle is still worth having.

    • @FrugalRules
      @FrugalRules  2 роки тому +4

      Agreed on the placing Pluto & Tubi ahead of Crackle. Both are good services for what they are.

      I'm sorry but trying to use Crackle is a flippin nightmare.
      I have version 7.01 on 2 TV's and I was trying to use it on 2 Roku TV's
      via my Comcast WIFI and also my Comcast cable.
      I've been farting around with this app for 2 days because
      I wanted to watch one movie. But I can't use an app until after
      I determine that I can create a profile and then pause a movie one day
      and then resume it *** at the same spot *** on another day.
      If I can't do that, then the app is a no-go for me.
      This app is horrible. I activated it on my windows 10 computer
      but I don't see most of the screens you are able to get for some crazy reason.
      And trying to make changes and then entering and exiting the app to see
      what effect they had is extremely annoying because you have to watch
      a commercial every time you re-enter the app !!
      The Settings screen is so stupid, I almost feel sorry for the
      idiot who designed it. "About crackle" is a bunch of legal
      mumbo-jumbo that no one in their right mind would care about
      And the search screen is also absolutely horrible !!!!
      Not the least bit intuitive when typing out long titles and
      if you spell anything wrong, forget it.
      I never bothered looking at the movies available on this app.
      Doing that would have been a complete waste of time.

    I think Tubi is a little bit better but how can you compare them when their both free

    • @FrugalRules
      @FrugalRules  2 роки тому +1

      Agreed, you can't really complain when both are free. But, if we were to choose one over the other it'd be Tubi.

  • @dathyr1

    Thanks for all the information about the free Crackle, but never used it yet. I watch Pluto and Tubi off and on when I want to steer away from my Netflix and Disney. I guess I am used to ads in free streaming. If I got Crackle, I don't think I would setup an account, because I would be the only one watching the service. Cool to have so many Streaming Venues to go to and get away from Cable TV high pricings. Keep up the great reviews. Take care.

    • @FrugalRules
      @FrugalRules  2 роки тому +2

      Of course! It's ok for what it is, but you're likely better served with Pluto and Tubi. Agreed, it is nice that there are numerous free/cheaper options out there to help increase savings.

    Dumping it. Can't get through any programming without having playback or streaming issues, but there's never a problem with ads. I'm never going to watch any kind of streaming service where the only streaming that works properly are the ads.
    BYYYEEEE

    The app is very bloated and there are too many adds. I could never finish an episode of a TV show without it “O Oh something went wrong” every time it is half way through any episodes.

    No you shouldn’t 2 mins of ads every 5mins. I just delegated the app in the middle of a movie. I couldn’t stand it anymore.
