  5. Simplify navigation: 21 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.2/3. What to do: Run a quick usability test on the screens users mention; remove extra taps and pop-ups.

How to read this

Apple's public feed only shows recent reviews, so this is a snapshot of the last weeks or months, not the app's full history. Popular apps attract complaints in proportion to their size; the useful part is which issues repeat. Generated 22 October 2026. We have no relationship with Pluto.tv.
