Just saw that the parent company of crackle has filed bankruptcy as it's been removed from my ROKU and keeps stopping on my phone now. I still see it on my Fire TV stuck but probably not for long. Uninstalling on phone now. Too bad because I really liked watching on my ROKU.
★★★★★

★★☆☆☆
The selection is very bad. Pluto TV and Tubi apps are also free with ads but offer much better selections.
★★☆☆☆
The videos won't even load at least tubi will load the movies
★★☆☆☆
Crackle needs better movies and TV shows. They need to fix the bug in the app. It cuts off the last 5 or 10 minutes of a show and goes to the next episode. I had to watch the end of a show on another app.
★★☆☆☆
New update: NOW there's a damn 30sec-60sec ad BEFORE I can even get to the damn preview or beginning of anything. - it's different if you are already going to the theater for a specific movie - i just want to figure what to watch with dinner. Now I need to spend an extra half hour going back and forth with the ads I can no longer see what I'm fast-forwarding or rewinding through. Old review: Why can't isn't there a section for movies I didn't finish? Or at least a list I can maintain to watch.
