Crave Reviews 

Total rip off. Legendary.

The ads are played literally twice as loud as the content. So be prepared for blown speakers and angry neighbors.

That’s if the ads ever end. They say 3 ads, and count down.. then when the 3 ads have played, 3 more begin. This could happen several times in a row.

Then after the ads have finally stopped, your speakers and eardrums are blown and your neighbors are angry…. It freezes. Like clockwork, it freezes after every single ad. No exceptions. If you pay double and “go ad free”, it STILL freezes and glitches every single time an ad would have played otherwise.

You can’t rewind it and watch what you missed without the glitches either. If you dare try, you’ll be stuck in the ad loop again.

Shows not loading on smart Tvs, streaming issues and horrible customer service.

DO NOT trust CRAVE! They have major tech glitches where you cannot access or see content and they lead you to FAQs rather than provide assistance. Just try calling their customer service number.. IT HANGS UP ON YOU every time!! I waited for 30 minutes to speak with an agent on the CHAT then another 30 minutes for Carlo James to look into the issue. I already canceled my subscription yet CRAVE continues to charge my card and take monthly payments. This is ILLEGAL! They will not issue a refund for the charges processed AFTER I canceled my account. Their actual solution was to honour the cancelation of y CRAVE service but still charge me without any refunds. How is this a solution!? You want me to pay for a horrible platform that doesn't work after I have confirmed a cancelation!? They have put me in a lose, lose situation

Expensive subscription, every 5 min coming 3 adds …. It’s not possible to watch something…. With adds cost 12,50 but services is too poor…. Very often after one episode coming black screen.

If I could give a negative point for Crave I would. Some of the commercials as super loud, almost 3 times the volume of the regular programming. This is completely annoying and if this subscription would not be free with my Bell internet, I would never pay for Crave.
To the team at Crave, please have all commercials at the same sound level as the programming.

It is soooooo bad app , very surprising such a big compnay , can’t even make a decent app
Almost nothing working , none feature working
Unless you keep watching , as soon as stop , when come back to watch , there is no way to find where you at on last episode, the app give you no choose ,, no way can chose any episode…… anyway
Nothing work
It is a joke
I am surprise they are still in the business
They shouldn’t

I won a 2-month subscription through roll up the rim. They said they needed a credit card for sign up. Said that it would be canceled after the promotional. What happens on the third month they charge my card for it again yesterday I called to complain sorry we can't do anything about it it's in our policy, yeah they mean buried in the 15-page long-terms and conditions.
TYPICAL BELL CANADA RIPPING OFF CANADIANS SINCE 1880

Publicité à tout moment, interminable, répétitive et souvent à la dernière Publicité. L'écran fige nous obligent à revenir en arrière et se retaper toute les Publicités. Film ou série, rien de plus magique qu"une bonne publicité quand il le faut pas. De plus, régulièrement 4 Publicités jamais avec le même niveau sonore et très souvent se sont les mêmes( 4 fois la même pub de 15 à 30 secondes). Entres 15 et 25 publicités pour une émission de 40 minutes !!!! Si vous retourné en arriere vous amenant au menu et recliqué sur la même émission. Vous gagné un PUB et si vous en avez plein l'c... des pubs et vous voulez avoir le forfait SANS PUBLICITÉS. Le prix est démesuré et tellement que c'est l'abus dans tout les sens. Tu as juste le goût de te désabonner tellement tu es en tab..... ! Sans compter qu'il est impossible de reprendre une émission au meme endroit et s'il s'agit d'une émission avec plusieurs saisons. Impossible de sectionné une saison voulu. Nous devons rechercher l'émission a l'aide du moteur de recherche et la sélectionner à partir la.

The system is incompatible with (moderately) older TVs. Loading problems on others. Buffering. Impossibility to access the service. Error messages. The service is buggy. Unimpressive content.

Crave on the surface looks like it should be a great streaming service. Unfortunately it’s far from that. For as many years as it’s been around the quality of service has only gotten worse. Pausing repeatedly while watching a show, cutting out or not even playing at all. Just the spinning circle in the middle of the screen. This happens all too often, which is crazy considering the technology we have today. Seems as though Crave doesn’t really care about the quality of their product, as long as they get their money. Dave yours, everything on it you can find on other services.

I am currently streaming Community and I paused partway through an episode because I had other things to do.
It opened with 1:30 minute of ads, then IN FOUR MINUTES OF SCREENTIME I was forced to watch another 1:30 minute of ads TWICE. Absolutely ridiculous.

Greed for ad revenue forces them to sabotage their own service. They cant stop themselves. Greed gets you 3 commercials, 15 seconds of movie then 3 more commercials. Having their ads crash the entire service mid stream is unacceptable for a paid service, so its free. They couldnt charge anything for this service. There would be class action law suits. So its free to bell customers. Woop di doo! Someone left a flaming bag of dog poo on my doorstep lol. Even as a free service its terrible. So greedy.

Ads, ads, ads….and more ads.
I thought I’d give Crave a try and I subscribed for the basic service (with ads)…and it is awful. I cannot believe this company thinks customers will tolerate paying $15/month to have upwards of 3 minutes of ads shoved down their throats for every 6-10 minutes of viewing. It’s atrocious.

My guess is that Crave’s subscription numbers will soon start to plummet.

It is the worst streaming service I have ever used. I took advantage of the $45.03 months premium trial. Basically I can watch Game of Thrones because for some reason I missed it years ago. I will use up the three months membership that I got and then I will not renew it. The constant error messaging and the long buffering is so frustrating. Everything ive come to expect from Bell. They are the worst telecommunication company in Canada.
absolutely awful.

Has movies that are only in french not even english subtitles. Where's the replay movie button?

The ad version constantly glitches. A normal commercial break is three 30-44 second commercials, but it often errors out, gets stuck loading, or restarts an episode, so you can end up watching 9-12 commercials in a row trying to get it to work. This has been the same experience over the past 4 months, where some shows or movies seem to be worse than others, though it's been generating errors a lot more frequently.

Bell uses ancient tech that barely functions with any modern streaming devices or TVs - laggy, buffering, crashes Roku devices. They are obviously aware and have decided not to do anything about it. Once they lose the HBO deal, Crave is done.

Typical crave customer service to blame a connection issues. I have zero issues with any other streaming services (prime,apple,Netflix, Disney) but my crave always skips. It sucks.. why do we pay so much for crappy services. Can someone please just pick up crave shows so we don’t have to have it anymore. Crave sucks . Pay too much money for crappy services.

5 minutes of show or a movie and 2.5 minutes of adds. It is absolutely brutal. I can’t even change the settings on my tv without it backing me out of the app and then re running all the adds again. Holy moly what a garbage app/service/software. Absolute trash

I received a subscription for crave tv from virgin plus. Ok. I used it once in a while. Now of course they have switched all movies to french, in an attempt to force me to upgrade to Starz. No chance. I never wanted the subscription in the first place. Please also beware of Netflix. I had a bad experience with them also.
