Every time I went to watch Hulu on my phone it makes me log out and log back in then it still doesn’t work and I have to out and back in a few times for it to work. I also have to try several times on the tv to get it to function properly to.

I have even rebooted both phone and tv and it’s not my devices!!! I’ve been a loyal customer for a while and this sucks

Allowed an fraudulent account to be set up using my stolen personal info. 00+ tax for the past 6 months. I contacted Hulu customer service department and reported this issue to them last month. I was supposed to be refunded and the subscription was supposed to be canceled & refund issued.

30 later, HULU HAS CHARGED MY ACCOUNT AGAIN THIS MONTH & STILL NOT REFUND ANY OF THE 6 PAYMENTS THAT THEY STOLE FROM MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. WHY YALL STEALING FROM PPL??? N MONEY BACK NOWWWWW!

I am writing to Hulu as a complaint and warning. I have had several friends cancel their hulu membership strictly due to the volume of the commercials, and I am about to do the same. We normally listen to and don't care about commercials, but this is ridiculous.

We have to mute the commercials and therefore don't even pay attention to them, so it doesn't benefit anyone for them to be 10 times louder than the actual shows/movies. We can't even watch Hulu in the bedroom because the commercials wake us up if we fall asleep.

I highly suggest fixing this before losing more customers.

I've noticed that Hulu has added a significant amount of commercials. e. laden shows with an enormous amount of commercial content that interrupts the flow of the shows. It was tolerable in the past when we knew we'd have to watch 4 commercial breaks per show/episode, but now it seems like every 5 minutes there are commercial breaks.

I understand the advertising revenues, but this is ridiculous. It's basically cable tv and I've had enough of the constant stream of advertisements. Hulu has gone from great to worst.

It has a 5 minute ad every frickin 5 miniutes in movies and tv shows. It completely ruins what your watching. It turns a 1 hour 30 min movie into a 2 and a half hour movie. If you are going to put in some many God Damn ads, at least try to make them only 60 seconds.

Then, you have to pay extra just to get good movies, why do you think I bought Hulu, to watch good movies, not just to have to buy another add on to watch a decent movie. And if you don’t get the stars or hbo add on, you only get 1 star movies made with a 5$ budget with actors you’ve never even heard of or seen before.

If I’m paying over 90$ a month for service, it better be frickin good. And don’t make us pay even more just to watch movies that should’ve been on there in the first place. Stop being so greedy and desperate…

99 and raised 3 times. 99. Constant commercials on cut movies, hey I'm paying so commercials shouldn't be so intrusive. Things recorded, show on in my stuff but won't play. I'm talking only 1 day after recorded. Not user friendly.

Spent hours, days watching America's cup only to have Hulu record but can't play. So I missed the race and YouTube gave me results before I could watch so lost all that, Thanks Hulu! You really know how to screw up tv.

Only been around for decades. Some learning curve you need. Extremely disappointed with Hulu and wish I had better choices. Dish is superior but the contract makes me stay away. I just can't believe how inefficient and greedy Hulu has become.

Would not recommend unless it's your only real choice, like me. Oh and let's not forget channel changes…

Your new home page is terrible!! The old design was much easier to navigate.

Also your system locks up a lot. Always turning off tv for 20 to 30 seconds and than restarting tv. The problem is not my internet connection either. Have had it several times. Getting upset with Hulu service

My channels were not on the dashboard after the update. I called customer service'. Both times I was cut off. On both calls I explained I was handicapped with arthritis and unable to type or push buttons easily. I also explained I was not familiar with tech. The second call I made did show me where my channels was, but she could not tell me where to find what she told me to click. She had to add a local channel which she had problems doing.

At the end I requested to be transferred to a person to complain about the my channels move because it will be much more difficult for me to navigation this change due to my handicap. She had me hold , came back said everyone was busy. She stated I could write a complaint. I explained I was unable to type that much re my handicap I needed to talk to a…

Tried to get connected to Hulu from our Mts. cabin every time we tried we had to change our permanent address to the mts. which we did after 4 times it would not let us in [we only use Hulu here in the mts.

our second address now we can't get in } Called customer service and after 48 min. still could not get in. So we told her it is not worth 48 min. to correct a problem she could not fix and asked for a refund.

Sorry but she was useless terrible service.

I have never had more of a worse experience and I've had with Hulu every time first I had TV live for over a year worked great and then decided to just shut it off one day no notification or nothing They said they're policies changed That's a lie now all the sudden show that I've always watched that's always on where it's my stuff which has your favorite TV shows gone Great thing to do during the panic by the way so

I'm hoping that Hulu actually goes bye-bye did they get removed I hope Disney decides it's a bad idea because they're going to cut their losses because ever since Disney bought it customer service they are very ignorant uneducated Not respectful in any way shape or form uninformed Don't know what they're doing Don't know how to fix it I get a load of arms and a lot of nothing…

Canceled service for bad customer service. I was issued a ten day credit by extending billing date. My account was billed not changing the billing date? I canceled my service because they could not fix tv shutting off at random times.

They refused to honor the ten days without service. Thief!!!

Certain channels always freeze or have a blank screen while im trying to watch them. Somethin comes across the screen saying they are working on it. This happens everyday! Channel 4 wbz does this every day and Cozi tv wasnt working over the weekend.

This started to happen as soon as you raised the prices.

Also when i delete things from my dvr it never deletes!

You "stole" my money, just the same as a gunman with a pistol. You did not deliver what you advertise. Your lack of customer service ranks right up there with complaints about Russian involvement in our elections. Failure to provide service is the norm in Countries such as Outer Mongolia, Antarctica, and the Maldives Islands.

Your creditability now comes into question and Disney is known for its lack of concern regarding customer service is the perfect parent for you. I am 83 years old and have made a few mistakes in my life, but signing with Hulu ranks up there with either my second or third wife.

The first day, freeze, disconnect, unable to access the app. total lack of service, I followed every instruction given. I disconnected the internet three or four times. Nothing I could do allowed me to see the program for more than seven minutes.

I paid for no ads, all ads were shown. Terrible service. No customer service telephone or contact given. Take your Hulu and stick it up your Hulu.

My service was messing up so they gave me a credit and don’t tell me it’s a 3 week credit last month so instead of me knowing that and they could have billed me the difference they changed my due date to after the 3 week credit without my knowledge and tried to charge me the full balance 3 weeks earlier than my due date.

Thank God I had my card locked at the time. So now my service was off because they changed the due date. They can’t do nothing. Smh

Every Monday Thursday Saturday Sunday I cannot sit in my living room and enjoy any football game. While watching it goes back to the HULU icon. I am now paying 55 dollars to watch football on my 19 inch tv.

All other programs work fine. I have complained twice with no response or explanation. Please tell me why, when I can enjoy my sports in my living room.

Hulu, like their parents company, Walt Disney, Is a pack of low life trash bags. I have a smart TV that came with Roku installed. I reviewed all the "streaming companies" and decided to go with Hulu. What a mistake.

Hulu never disclosed that my account was a "third party" arrangement. When I recently moved I notified Hulu. I got two different emails telling me "my refund would be automatically processed. That was on October 25. Today is November 5.

When I called Hulu this morning I was told my "refund was processed on 10/25 but since my account is third party it was sent to Roku". When you go on Roku, they post on line "no refunds". In other words, Hulu sent my information to Roku, unauthorized, then after telling me my refund would be processed, I discover it is all a rip off. Low life…

Hula has added programming that I didn't want or ask for, and requested to have my account locked. So I this couldn't happen again. It's happened over and over again and since August of 21019 since filing with the BBB problems are still there and have happened numerous times. Now, I'm filing with the Attorney General. As I feel by credit card has been charged with unauthorized charges to my credit without my authorization. This all began several months ago when I was not longer able to use 3 different Blu-ray players and switched to a firestick.

If my account had been locked, as Customer Service indicated, then why does HULA continue to add these charges and changing my programming. Too many headaches and HULA really doesn't care to remedy for my troubles, but causes me more.

I was watching "A Million Little Things" from the Hulu cloud. Before I could finish it with about 10-15 mins left, I got the video-02 error message. I did everything it asked of me. No success. I have had numerous issues with Hulu. When it works, it is beautiful. But, I have done everything their tech support has recommended. I have the top internet speed available from Verizon FiOS.

If YouTube TV were captioned, I would switch immediately.

This company is garbage! Never ever will I support it! 00 as that was the only option to watch CASTLEROCK. I spent the whole evening on the phone with SUPPORT! I put in the code for the card and was ready to watch.

But everytime i pressed play I would get an error. After going thru options to close down the computer, even though i have a uPDATED SAFARI browser and MAC BOOK AIR... the operator told me that some MACS HAVE PROBLEMS.

I WAS TOLD "WE'RE WORKING ON IT" which meant obviously there is a HUGE GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM and they do not work like NETFLIX which I never have an issues. What I'm angry about is this: HULU SHOULD PUT OUT THAT YOU NEED TO GET A NEW BROWSER IF YOU HAVE A MAC OR YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR BROWSER...

Hulu will not allow me to watch shows in my stuff in their entirety while the show is still airing. I missed the beginning of Colbert by ten minutes, I go to “my stuff” the latest episode I’m allowed to watch is last night. If I go live I’m not permitted to rewind to beginning of episode. Hulu doesn’t seem to be aware of what day it is, which episode is current, or if I should have access to “transport controls” of shows I am recording.

This is completely unacceptable. If I’m recording a show, I should be able to rewind the recording. If a show aired last night, it shouldn’t be the latest episode at the same time the latest episode is airing the next day. Seriously, wtf is wrong with you people?

Could you please either fix this BS or let me know you can’t figure it out so I can move on…

I have done everything their website & tech support has asked me to do. Just over a month ago, I even upgraded my FiOS router speed up to the max possible. For more than a week now live streaming programs keep crashing.

I love their original programs, such as The Handmaid's Tale, but I am so close to quitting! Yes, I tried calling but those bots frustrate me. I am posting here in the hope that someone at Hulu (a human being) will read this and reach out to me.

Besides the higher price than Netf ix and Prime, the selection has become real bad and not to mention they showcase shows that were frigging cancelled??? WTF?????? so why the sam hell would you show a season of a show that is never finished?? don't tease people!!

except that my wife likes "a Handmaids Tale " which is why a lot of people are holding onto a loser channel like Hulu. and there aren't even any special effects for God sakes!! and I have never written a complaint letter about anything, so you did do something and get a rise out of a mellow guy!!

just cancel a handmaids tale and we can say good-bye.
