  • KarenN96369926 Karen N (@KarenN96369926) reported

    @askparamount When are you all going to fix your captioning issue for Xbox's? This has been going on over a month now. People are paying their hard earned money for your mediocre, error filled streaming service. You promise subscribers things and don't give.

  • sourpunchsticks janet (@sourpunchsticks) reported

    .@paramountplus has been giving me error messages when I try to watch #MayorOfKingstown for the past week. I can’t see any of the episodes. Anyone else have this issue?

  • BrendaG990 Brenda Gill (@BrendaG990) reported

    @BandB_CBS @paramountplus Bring it on! I don’t feel sorry for Brooke at all. Not telling Ridge about the kiss or her relapse, the reason for the kiss, Brooke is her own worst enemy.

    @rudgaterancher @YandR_CBS @paramountplus The writers purpose is to educate the fans that contracts and agreements are meant to be broken.

  • FreeVictoria_YR TeamNewmans (@FreeVictoria_YR) reported

    @YandR_CBS @paramountplus Smug & entitled Lily & Billy can whine and use Victoria as their scapegoat all they want. I'm here for Victoria taking charge. Tho I wish she had let crash and burn on their own. #yr

    @MikeJudge @paramountplus "It won't work today." Have you seen TikTok? It will work better than the original.

  • QueSeraSeraC Que Sera (@QueSeraSeraC) reported

    @BandB_CBS @CBS @paramountplus Good thing she likes them rough. I mean have you seen the dishevelled piece of work she's married to? #BoldandBeautiful

  • kathy_farley Kathy Farley (@kathy_farley) reported

    @paramountplus Terrible customer service. I am contacting the BBB today since you ghost your subscribers who have issues and there are many. Just check your Facebook page!! All have the same issue

  • StydiaAtHeart siya📍 (stydia's version) | #teenwolf2022 (@StydiaAtHeart) reported

    @paramountplus Your intern needs help okay. This is now third worse/worst villain poll and honestly no one's sure what those words mean. Like worse as in we hate them? Or they're literally the ones that got the job done, aka the best but in a worst way.

  • WilliamFGaines William Gaines (@WilliamFGaines) reported

    @MikeJudge @paramountplus Uhhh, couldn't you just hire a couple of ******** to take our place? That "getting in shape" thingy sounds too much like work.

  • BigHeadBS PeytonsHead (@BigHeadBS) reported

    @Baute812 @paramountplus Only app I have trouble with. And neither Paramount Plus nor Peacock offers app support for a 4 year old Samsung Tv so gotta use a stick

  • TueElungJensen Tue_ (@TueElungJensen) reported

    @MikeJudge @paramountplus This is legitimately my worst childhood nightmare coming back to life.

  • mrsspittler Marci (@mrsspittler) reported

    @askparamount Yeah still having issues, as we speak, I have all other streaming apps & have no issues. Yours is the only one that stops or buffers all the time. Seriously what is the problem? I’m not the only one, almost DONE!!!
