Peacock TV: Stream TV & Movies 12+

I wanna say that they have an amazing selection on this app for tv shows and movies.
However, I got the app for free with Xfinity wifi and they said I would have Peacock PREMIUM. When I think of premium I think “no ads.” Well that is NOT the case. I try to watch tv shows and an ad plays every few minutes. It plays about every 5 minutes during the show. I get a 60 second ad about 3-4 times every single 24 minutes episode. And it does not stop there. I also get 15 and 30 second ads on top of the minute long ones. So over all I’m watching roughly 10 minutes of ads every single episode??? I thought I was suppose to have premium… this is not premium. I enjoy the app, but the ads are just ridiculous. If anything, play a minute and a half ad BEFORE the episode so customers can watch a single episode in peace without interruption every 3 seconds.
I gave four stars because I know how hard it is to allow such a selection without ads. But come on… I watch about 5 minutes of a show and get hit with 5 minutes of ads. It makes me not want to use the app.

This app is one of the worst apps in the modern era of streaming apps. The menu and UI is cumbersome and flimsy and it’s not user-friendly or intuitive in anyway. why is continue watching the sixth menu down from the top? How come when I add a show to my stuff to circumvent that it doesn’t show up. Why am I forced to watch commercials if I rewind too far and then have to rewatch the commercial I just watched? and the biggest issue and reason why I am writing this is the rewind and fast-forward monstrosity that is this app. Sometimes you can fast-forward or rewind 10 seconds sometimes you can squirrel faster sometimes you have a slow faster and fastest menu and then sometimes you don’t have any menu at all to do it. You just have the restart button with the other menus, and when you press the button to try to fast-forward rewind it clicks restart. I might do this 4-5 times watching an episode of something. And then there’s no rewind fast-forward menu after that so I can’t even get back to the point that I restarted from. And then you try to use Siri to fast-forward or rewind and then you hit with a commercial and if you don’t hit the right spot, you have to try it again and you hit another commercial. and then when you’re there, you can’t even fast-forward everyone to find the spot because you have to watch the commercial. Seriously how can I pay to give this a zero star review? I’ll pay more than I pay for the subscription.

No controls in streaming TV devices 'Settings' for Autoplay of trailers, series etc. Cancel button to not continue is a joke. Forget it if you want to surf their choices unless you want trailers to scream at you every time you pause. IT NEVER STOPS. Don't try to put your baby to sleep while in the same room. Don't fall asleep as they will just keep playing the next episode. IT NEVER STOPS. Are Peacock watchers so lazy and so incapable of making their own decisions that they actually prefer being controlled like this? My husband watches NBC news programs or I would drop this service in a second. I keep the Mute button on the instant he opens the App on Apple TV. I used to like NBC on cable but now it's my least favorite streaming channel. And ultimately what does this obnoxious behavior accomplish? ————————————————————————————————————

Add to this terrible editing for commercial injections. Subpar new TV series content. And the same linear tv shows they have produced year after year. From other reviews posted here there are many other operating issues with the ad version of this app as well. The only thing they have going for them is the occasional movie they bring onboard. They have done virtually nothing to make this app user friendly from the get go and that really shows.
