Just wanted to point that out. If you developed a product that caused over 65000 to join a social media site to shit on your product, and not one person had ANYTHING positive to say…. Well you should quit. Just give up and let someone else give it a try.

Way less on Crave than we think.

Costantine pops up on my feed. Preview starts IN ENGLISH. Looks like a movie that I would watch. Nope is in French. No way to switch to English. I think about 40% of what they have is unwatchable.

Subtitles automatically reverting to French when all language preferences are set to English

Hi all, apologies if this has been answered before; I searched the sub and google but couldn’t find anything.

I watch all my tv with captions and every single show I’ve ever watched on Crave has the captions automatically starting with French selected. This usually just results in no captions because they’re often shows that French captions haven’t been made available for. But even when I start an episode and reset the captions to English, when the next episode plays they immediately go back to French again.

I’m in Ontario and have all of my language settings as English, but I can’t seem to find any options to specifically set my captions to automatically be English first. Is there an option for this that I’m missing? I’ve checked my Roku TV’s Crave app, my phone’s Crave app, and the websites the apps link to but haven’t found anything.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Why does Crave always do this?

Every time I get done with my day, and I’m like oh “I wanna rewatch the Harry Potter movies” Or “I want to watch an episode of The Voice” Crave is frozen.

Everything loads in fine. Then once I click what I want to watch, it’s frozen. Stuck. There’s no loading screen, the picture doesn’t take long to pop up or anything. It’s just stuck. I’ve tried signing out, reinstalling the app, turning off my TV none of it works.

This happens with no other app I use to watch TV, just Crave. Sometimes it will bug out 10x worse and it will make the app shut down, stuff will start glitching, it’s awful.

Like is there an error or something. I know absolutely nothing about how apps work or what makes that shit load but WHY!

Sometimes the error will be for a couple days, and this has been going on for months. Does this happen to anyone else?

French issues

My language preference is set to english and I still cannot watch certain movies in anything but french. For example, I am trying to watch "The Hobbit: A Unexpected Journey, Extended Edition" but it only plays in french and doesnt have any other audio language options other than french. I can watch the original version of the movie, but the extended version is only available in french. The same thing happens when I try to watch "Here Comes the Boom". Very annoying amd if anyone has any solution ideas other than making sure my language preference settings are set to english, it would be greatly appreciated.

Crave on Virgin vs Amazon Prime ?

Hi, I have a Virgin Plus bundle (2 cells, TV and Internet). I have the CRAVE app on my cell, tablet and Chromecast. The CRAVE subscription with Virgin includes HBO and SuperEcran (french content).

CRAVE doesn't allow downloads with Virgin so I saw that it is also offered on Amazon Prime, for the same price.

If you're using CRAVE with Amazon: (1) is it possible to download stuff on Android ? and (2) does it include SuperEcran ?

Thanks !

Can’t play episode 6 of the penguin

So my dad and I have been watching the penguin recently… when I went onto crave today to watch the 6th episode, I was only given live times to view it?

Normally I should be able to just press play and get turn it on no problem. Now it’s saying I have to record a live episode to watch it??

Sorry if I’m bad at explaining. English isn’t my first language. Can someone help me with this Crave problem 😅

Worth getting crave premium at a special price ? 12$/ month

Getting the reduced rate after I got a new phone thru bell mobility (2 year plan ). I had the crave basic for free till now and to be honest have not had streaming issues so far..I like their line up of shows / movies. Thinking of taking the premium service at this special rate.

Anyone use the premium service?

Insane

I have the ad crave. For every 6 min of watching I get 1.5-2 min of ads. What a joke. Will be promptly cancelling. I’m not paying 10-15$ to watching ads every 6 minutes. What is with streaming services lately. I have cancelled half of them because it now costs more to have several of them then it did to have cable 10 years ago.

So disappointed #cancellingcrave

Crave won’t let me replay old episodes (firestick)

Crave will only let me continue watching or let me watch new episodes. Anytime I click on a previously watched episode it doesn’t work. Anyone run into this issue and able to solve it?

Black Friday deal

Anyone heard about the Black Friday deal? Last year I got the 12 months for $119 but I’m assuming if it comes up again you have to cancel and sign up with a new email ?

Does anyone know if streaming quality has improved with the UI overall that happened within the last couple months?

It's definitely snappier, I was watching the new show The Franchise and it looked 4K. Currently watching the 2014 Godzilla and it doesn't look 720p like some of their catalog titles used to...

Just paid 14.99 for crave but can't use it on roku

After some research I found out I can't use the ad version on Roku TV and I'll have to upgrade to ad free. Does anyone know if I have to pay the full 25 or so dollars to upgrade or can I pay the difference? I just subscribed not even 10 minutes ago and I'd hate to have to purchase it again full price. Thanks

Crave streaming sucks!

The last 2 weeks my downloads for offline use have all come up with an error code and I am unable to watch any of the content I downloaded on my phone and my tablet. I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled on both devices with the same problem happening again. I've cancelled my subscription. Has anyone else been having this same issue?

Playing in French Not English

This is the third movie I’ve had this happen to me in the past year. Trying to watch Evil Dead 2, which says it plays in both English and French, my account settings are all set to English, yet the film plays exclusively in French. I cannot change anything in settings to get it in English. Genuinely the worst streaming service and that says something.

Why do I have to see Drag Show stuff every time I log in?

Is there a way to disable the items that get shown on the home page? I am never going to watch it so I would prefer it isn't served to me over and over again.

Tooooo many ads

So I bought the basic version of crave with ads the thing said I would get 5 mins of ads an hour . Right now I get 3 ad spots in an episode which has 5 ads of 30 seconds each so that's almost 7-9 mins of ad an episode How is this legal and is there a regulatory authority that can be contacted and informed about this ?

PS5 App is unstable

I know there are a bunch of posts already, but this is still a problem.

It looks like the app is not managing the memory of the PlayStation properly, causing it to crash, or stop streaming, or stop working completely.

We end up watching it on my laptop.

Why aren't they fixing it?

And if they don't want to fix it, why keep it available?

Is the Prime version of Crave just as flawed as the TV app?

Just curious as I cannot keep my sanity in check with this gaddam tv app.

Every. Show. I. Watch. I have to manually go back to where I left it off. I’d be on season 6 and it’s telling me I left off on season 2.

Also curious if the Prime version is only with ads.

Is Edge the only web browser you can stream in 1080p?

I have a windows laptop and unlike Netflix, Disney+, Prime, and Paramount. There is no desktop app for crave so I can only stream it via Firefox, Edge, or Chrome (the 3 web browsers that I have). I have noticed that on Firefox and Chrome, the max resolution is 720p (for pretty much any movie or show) and Edge they give the 'Best(1080p)' option.

Is this the case for you as well?

And for those that stream crave with a Chromebook or Mac laptop, does it give 1080p resolution for Chrome web browser for Chromebook users and 1080p resolution for Safari on Mac users?

TV app not updating progress

After the fiasco with their update to a new UI that ended up with them having to rollback the update, this last week now I’m having an issue where on my Samsung TV the progress is not updated. I could finish episodes, start new series, or just watch a few minutes of a certain movie and when I reopen the app, nothing is saved.

This doesn’t happen on the iPhone app, I was able to finish an episode there and it updated progress.
