Alot of good movies I've seen or haven't seen.added app for Sullivan's Crossing and just found other shows or movies that spark my interests.

I would love to give you 5 stars but the fact that there isn't a watch list or ability to like the shows and movies annoys me, because Prime, Tubi, Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, Apple TV+, Paramount+, HBO Etc. Plus 3 Other Free Streaming Apps Tubi, Pluto and Fawsome all have watch lists! Come on now CW! You can't expect us to just rely on our memories or have written a list of our favorite TV shows and movies? Please, CW it's almost 2026, you've got to be able to "Keep up with the other guys" as they say.

The app regularly skips half of an episode, freezes, and/or crashes during commercials.
★☆☆☆☆Carolina Longwell· May 9, 2026
Want to watch a show but had to download and re-download 3 times only to get the same error code 0. After 3 times it goes to giving up category. Wish I could give 0 stars.

Live NASCAR on CW sports app is terrible. One camera with little to no audio. The In car cameras are cool, but no one wants to watch an entire race through an in car camera. Why do you not broadcast the same race coverage we would see on network t v? And now you have sold your sports coverage to ESPN and that is going to cost around $30. A month to subscribe. Screw CW, ESPN and NASCAR! I'm going fishing on Saturday's from here on.
