    @paramountplus can you help me, I'm trying to watch a few shows. But they aren't available on your platform... But they are available on Amazon prime only with paramountplus sub through them?

  • CaptainDooley 𝙺𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚗 𝙳𝚘𝚘𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@CaptainDooley) reported

    @askparamount Nope, no issues. I cancelled my sub and added it as an Amazon channel. It works through prime video just fine.

  • krystaelaine krysta (@krystaelaine) reported from Sunnyside-Tahoe City, California

    @xor @paramountplus Yeah once I’m done with Discovery (just finished Picard) I think I’m gonna cancel my trial and wait to subscribe once they work out the UX/UI stuff (like tracking watch progress across devices) and get new Star Trek episodes

  • jon_casco Casco (@jon_casco) reported

    @paramountplus Your ad breaks are constantly freezing and forcing us to back out of the content that we’re watching. Any plans to fix that? Cause it makes playback really frustrating.

  • TheBeardedBald Bald & Bearded (@TheBeardedBald) reported

    @paramountplus YOUR. GARBAGE. WEBSITE. FFS! How hard does it have to be to freaking see what it is that we would pay for? Do you require people to PAY upfront to then know what they paid for???? FIX YOUR WEBSITE!! It should be easy to find the programming you offer!!!!!! Wtf??

  • Sharon_Stmartin sharon stmartin💞💫😉🤗🥰 (@Sharon_Stmartin) reported

    @paramountplus We absolutely love Macgyver and are upset it got canceled when there is so much more stories to tell’m can you please help us #Savemacgyver!!

  • Siriusly360 💫Mel💫 (@Siriusly360) reported

    @Sammykinz @CBS @paramountplus Now let’s get to work my friends #SaveMacGyver

  • Jaydenblue12 Jayden (@Jaydenblue12) reported

    @Nickelodeon @paramountplus Loud House My bad my microphone be broken today Smh.

  • dragonslayer77_ a god of calamity (@dragonslayer77_) reported

    @paramountplus is the worst streaming service I have ever used. Captions don’t always work, the video gets laggy and then skips ahead making me rewind, if I stop mid ep and come back later it restarts the ep! And this is just a few of the problems ugh

  • FrankKemp3 𝙵𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚔 𝙺𝚎𝚖𝚙 (@FrankKemp3) reported

    The @paramountplus UI is still the worst of all the streamers. Come on, this is an easy fix y’all

  • Eilonwy79 Elenora Stilwell (@Eilonwy79) reported

    @paramountplus My biggest issue with your service is that there appears to be no watch list. You have to search for what the movie every time you want to watch it. The series tv shows at least have a continue watching spot.

  • fayyymonae Falon Jones (@fayyymonae) reported

    @paramountplus My app keeps crashing on my roku and on my Samsung tablet. Fine on my phone though. Help pleaseeeeeee! Must...rewatch... @TheChallengeOGs

  • Unforgiven111 Styx (@Unforgiven111) reported

    @paramountplus your aspect ratio looks terrible, it's all compressed vertically and stretched horizontally. Can't see why I'd continue the subscription if everything's gonna look weird.

  • Califor11709271 California Girl (@Califor11709271) reported

    @paramountplus Please help us to #SaveMacGyver please give us a season 6 of #MacGyver

  • AshieSpite Ashie (@AshieSpite) reported

    @paramountplus @TheEqualizerCBS @CBS Paramount+ has time to play on Twitter, but has yet to fix its fast forward/rewind issue on its service

  • 0Savemacgyver3 @SaveMacGyver3.0 (@0Savemacgyver3) reported

    @paramountplus has plans starting at $5.00 a month. I only pay like $6.00 a month to watch any and all #MacGyver episodes. Definitely worth the money and it’ll help us #SaveMacGyver

  • mituw16 Matt Little (@mituw16) reported

    @paramountplus why are there no number episodes of survivor???? So stupid!! You literally have the WORST steaming app available.. congratulations! Someone has to come in last place.

  • MustangMommie Mustang Momma (@MustangMommie) reported

    @alltvallshade @paramountplus Are they still limited to watching on a tablet, because certain model TV's won't work with the app ? Last time I checked my 65" Roku wouldn't work with the app. I could only watch on my tablet, & thats a no from me.

  • xxmimi123 FP (@xxmimi123) reported

    Your roku app keeps making the tv crash @paramountplus @askparamount video freezes, audio keeps going, then tv goes black and restarts itself

  • isamar95510053 isamar (@isamar95510053) reported

    please @paramountplus help us i know you can do it #macgyver @CBS @CBSTVStudios #savemacgyver

  • WShourd ✨Whitney✨ (@WShourd) reported

    @askparamount I’ve never had sooo many problems with a streaming service in all the years I’ve had Netflix and Hulu. There are so many issues. Did you guys release this too soon because it’s ridiculous how many problems there are.

  • DebbieFitzsim10 Fitz-tootsie (@DebbieFitzsim10) reported

    First time doing this so apologies if it doesn't work - If @paramountplus were to #SaveMacGyver for #macgyverseason6 I would get a subscription solely for #MacGyver What about you, would you be:

  • acharlieh Charlie Huggard (@acharlieh) reported

    @askparamount what is up with your Google TV app? I have a Chromecast w/ Google TV, using your app there to try to watch something it hangs without starting playback. Using the iPhone app to cast with to the same device on the same network, no issue.

  • itsthejody ɪᴛ'ꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴊᴏᴅʏ (@itsthejody) reported

    @askparamount That was 6 days ago. The update release to the Android app this week fixed the problem.

  • manformindy Man For Mindy (@manformindy) reported

    @paramountplus @IAMQUEENLATIFAH This app has way too many ads and seems to be constantly glitchy! Keep freezing up and runs slowly. I don’t have this issue with my other streaming platforms so I don’t think the issue is on my end.

  • Sharon_Stmartin sharon stmartin💞💫😉🤗🥰 (@Sharon_Stmartin) reported

    @0Savemacgyver3 @macgyver_save @paramountplus Sent Paramount plus a nice letter asking for their help to #Savemacgyver

  • jigglygal stenasia 🧸 (@jigglygal) reported

    Why my @paramountplus only work when it want too?!?!! High key annoying

  • brentc07 Brent Crane (@brentc07) reported

    @askparamount Hello, I sent you a DM regarding a billing issue that I have been trying to get resolved for a few months. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  • BerthaElephant Bertha is an Elephant (@BerthaElephant) reported

    Hey, @paramountplus, I can never get chromecast to work from your app. All the other apps let me watch on my 60' TV - yours, I have to watch on my wee ipad. Phthphth.

  • alltvallshade Richard (@alltvallshade) reported

    Thanks to all who suggested that the way to fix the streaming issues with @paramountplus was to cancel my regular subscription and buy it through Amazon apps. That did the trick. But boy, they need to fix THAT situation!
