Crave Reviews 

Too many adds for some shows. Sometimes every 5 - 10 minutes. All designed to get you to pay for add free option. Should disclose maximum number of add minutes per 30 minutes.
Bring the regulation!

I paid for Premium Service, but there are still ads in some of the shows and movies. Paying a premium is a scam. Their next step will be a top-tier plan, where you will need to pay more to avoid ads altogether, and a medium subscription, where you can only watch some content without ads. Ridiculous. If you pay for Premium service, you should be able to view everything without ads. It is even on their customer service page that there are still movies and shows that contain ads, even for Premium customers. I even called customer service to make sure my account was set as Premium. Crave is a money grabber. Worst service plan ever. Why pay for Premium service at all if you still get the ads? Thoroughly disappointed.

This is the worst streaming service ever. Warning, don’t bother

Crave has a lot of great content and the interface is user friendly

I have Bell mobility so I got free Crave tv with ads. They should call this garbage Ads with Crave tv. It’s impossible to watch anything with two minutes of ads for every 5 minutes of anything that you’re watching. I just cancelled that shit.

False advertising! They advertise they are streaming the Fifa world cup games, after paying for the service, it turns out they only have licensing for around 40 of the over 100 games! Total waste of money!!

WORSE STREAMING SERVICE EVER. CHARGED MY CARD 135$ AFTER I ALREADY CANCELLED

Bad streaming, sometimes crop aspect ratio

I regretted to subscribe it. Rare soccer live during the 2026 world up.

Crave is one of the worst streaming platforms out there. It's a shame that it's Canadian. Because being Canadian, I was expecting the best. I've noticed they have this problem for a long time and they never fix it.

For every 2 minutes of movies or shows, they put 10 ads, and every time you want to go back or skip forward, there are also 10 ads. And suddenly it gets stuck and you can't continue watching because you exit and come back in, they show you ads again, and at the end of the ad it says error or it freezes.

They really need to fix this because they have several series that interest me, and sometimes I get tired of it.

They play way more than there 5 minutes of commercials per hour. I hope they are investigated for false advertising

I would give zero if I could. I’m trying to watch a bloody tv show and there are 15 adds. On top of this, it gives me an “error” notification everytime I finish watching the bloody 4 ads. Then, when I log out and log back in, it forces me to watch another four ads. So I am stuck in a bloody circle.

Crave is not only the worst streaming service, it may be the single worst app technology ever created. I have a "Standard With Ads" Crave subscription through my mobile service provider. The ads are designed to push you into the Premium plan (they are not only extraordinarily excessive, but are programmed at random, with abrupt spikes in volume). So fine, I fold, and decide to pay for Crave Premium. Except I can't. It's not possible. There is literally no way for me to upgrade. Apparently I need to cancel my "free" subscription, then wait three weeks for the cancellation to go into effect, at which point Crave will take my money.
Except they won't, because eff this effing piece of shit streaming "service."

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced! Called 3 times, waited 30-40 minutes, 3rd time I was disconnected and no one called me back! Terrible worthless choices, got it free with Walmart.ca and I have no desire to take this further. Thanks but no thanks!

Garbage streaming service. Absolutely worthless

The worst streaming platform. I understand having a lower tiered option with ads, BUT why does it glitch each time after the ads finish playing and then my show/movie won’t stream anymore??? It has no problem playing the ads (repeatedly too) but can’t seem to play the actual show/movie.

J'ai droit aux 4 publicités, mais le contenu ne reprend pas. Vraiment pénible.

I like the shows on the app.

There are 2 problems with Crave. Adds and shows are on 2 different sound levels. Adds are blasting crazy and I need to put the sound bar at 2, and the show is low and needs the sound bar at 20.

Second, the show often desync sound and image. I have to restart my device every time. Sometime, multiple time the same day.

I swear to god within the span of 10 minutes 3 ads played, we thought it was over and the show would be back on, and then the same 3 ads played again. This has happened way too many times and half the time once the ads are done the show will just not play and it'll show a black loading screen and you have to exit the app, turn off the tv, and turn it back on again to get it to work. And then when you open the app again you get those same 3 ads again. Oh my god. Other streaming services do not do this. These glitches gotta get fixed to make the fee actually worth it.

Not even worth one star. We timed it and the basic subscription will show you no more than nine minutes of a show without making you watch three thirty second ads. There are constant error messages that you can only getting around by logging out and looking back in and then you’ll immediately be shown ninety more seconds of ads first. This service should be illegal. We cancelled nearly instantly.
