Verdict: which one has fewer problems?

Across the latest 900 App Store reviews we collected, Tubi has the lowest share of reviews with a complaint (29%) and Crunchyroll the highest (52%). The biggest single difference is in pricing and subscription complaints: 23% of Crunchyroll reviews mention them, vs 1% for Tubi. Each app's own biggest complaint theme: Crunchyroll, bugs (82 reviews); Tubi, bugs (46 reviews); Pluto TV, bugs (99 reviews). Average star rating in the samples ranges from 3.14★ (Crunchyroll) to 3.71★ (Tubi). Time span of each sample: Crunchyroll 85 days (2026-07-30 to 2026-10-22); Tubi 561 days (2025-04-10 to 2026-10-22); Pluto TV 551 days (2025-04-20 to 2026-10-22). Because Crunchyroll's sample covers a much shorter period, a single recent update or outage weighs more heavily in its numbers. Samples that reach back many months (fewer reviews per day) show long-running issues rather than the effect of one recent update.
