Verified Reviews (20)
Sports make it worth it
Champions League soccer and NFL games through Paramount+ are excellent. The sports content alone justifies the subscription during football and soccer seasons.
Content is thin outside sports
Remove the live sports and the content library is underwhelming. Few must-watch originals and the movie library rotates too frequently.
App crashes during live events
The app has crashed during every major live sporting event Ive watched. During the Super Bowl the stream died. Inexcusable for a streaming service.
Great for kids with Nick content
SpongeBob, PAW Patrol, and the Nickelodeon library keeps my kids happy. Combined with our content its good family value.
Star Trek fans only?
If you love Star Trek, theres a lot here. Strange New Worlds is excellent. But if youre not a Trekkie the original content is limited.
Affordable compared to competitors
At $5.99 with ads its one of the most affordable streaming options. Good value for what you get, especially with sports included.
Streaming quality is poor
The video quality and buffering issues are worse than any other major streamer. Even on fast internet the stream quality fluctuates. Technical inferiority.
Movie library is decent
The Paramount movie library has some great classics and recent releases. Mission Impossible, Top Gun, and classic titles add solid movie value.
Uncertain future concerns me
With Paramount being acquired and merged, the future of this standalone service is unclear. Hard to commit to a platform that might not exist in a year.
CBS shows next day
Current CBS shows available next day is good for cord cutters. Survivor, NCIS, and other CBS staples keep CBS fans connected without cable.
Ads are too long
The ad-supported plan has very long ad breaks. Sometimes 3 minutes of ads at a time. The ad load is worse than Hulus basic plan.
Yellowstone universe is compelling
The Yellowstone franchise (1883, 1923) is addictive television. The Western epic saga is Paramount+ signature content. Worth watching.
Comedy Central back catalog
Having South Park, Chappelles Show, and Comedy Central classics is a nice perk. The comedy archive has genuine value for comedy fans.
Interface is confusing
The navigation between live TV, on-demand, and different brand sections is confusing. Finding what you want takes too many taps. Needs simplification.
Live news is a differentiator
Having CBS News live stream included adds a news element that entertainment-only streamers lack. Good for major news events.
Needs more must-watch content
Outside Star Trek and Yellowstone, theres not much that demands immediate viewing. Needs more tentpole originals to justify keeping it year-round.
Soccer coverage is excellent
Champions League and Europa League coverage is top-notch. For soccer fans this is essential. The studio analysis and commentary are professional quality.
Cancel and resubscribe strategy
Not enough ongoing content to justify year-round subscription. Subscribe during sports seasons and cancel during off-months. Seasonal streaming.
MTV and BET content is niche
The MTV and BET content adds variety but appeals to a specific demographic. Not everyone wants reality TV and music content. Know the audience.
Middle of the pack streamer
Not the best, not the worst. Paramount+ is a solid mid-tier streaming option that some people will love for specific content (sports, Trek) but few will consider essential.
