User Reviews for Comedy Central

Can’t finish a show

Casting from this app is ridiculous! It took me almost 3 hours to get through a 1 hour special. Every time it was time for a commercial break, the shows freeze and I have to stop casting, find the place in the show I was at (because for some reason CC doesn’t understand “resume watching”) and then start all over again for the next commercial break. If I caught it right before the commercials, it would instantly freeze again, so I had to go through the process more times than there are commercial breaks. And the commercial breaks? What a pain! Two commercials in the first half-so restarting the show wasn’t too terrible-followed by 6-8 in the second half. That meant I didn’t finish the show because I was tired of restarting it literally every 3-5 minutes. Regardless of the restarting, the number and space between the commercial breaks are frustrating. I get that it’s revenue and necessary, but at least space them out more appropriately so people don’t lose the desire to finish the show.

Kind of shocking how jumbled this is

I downloaded this app to watch Reno 911 because it’s not available anywhere else. To their credit, it’s on this app. But in trying to watch it, I’m dealing with the most ridiculous problems: (1) the episodes are out of order. No joke. They just display in a seemingly random order. I have to make a note in my phone of the last one i watched so i know which one to hunt down next, (2) there are several episodes missing. Although, due to issue 1, you never know which. You have to search through the whole season to see if the next one is even available, and if not, you search through it again to see if the one after that is available. (3) the ads are long, but that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that it doesn’t log whether you’ve seen ads. So if you come out of a commercial break, but miss the first part after coming back, and you rewind it too far (back into the ad) it will restart that whole ad break again and you have to sit through it all over. These are just not acceptable issues to have at this point. In any app.

Great Content, Terrible App

Comedy Central is packed with great shows and stand-up. Don’t get me wrong, if you want to watch quality shows, get this app. But the actual app itself seems like it was developed before iPhones were put on the market. There is no search bar for shows, so you have to scroll through a list of seemingly hundreds of shows to find the one you’re looking for. Autoplay does not work between seasons (s2 e1 will not play after the last episode in s1) if it even does work between normal episodes (which it sometimes struggles to do). The ads are also a serious problem. Comedy Central only has a small assortment of mainly local ads that it will play over and over again. For a while, the same 15 second Pizza Hut ad was looped 4 times in a row during every commercial break in a show. I am also having difficulty watching some shows. I am unable to watch all of season 6 of Reno 911. I get automatically dropped into season 5 and an episode starts playing, but when I try to scroll over to other seasons on the season scroll bar, it won’t change from the list of season 5 episodes for me to watch.All in all, it seems like developers were too busy prepping for Y2K to create a usable interface.

Vertical video and auto-play ??

Why is the iPad app vertical?? It’s been bothering me for months!UPDATE: the vertical interface has now been bothering me for years! I’ve been a comedy central viewer since the 90s, sneaking Kids in the Hall and old Gilda Radner and Robin Williams (and maybe a little Pryor when the parents weren’t around) stand up sets as a kid, and we even got my very nice very polite mom hooked on South Park! I’ve been watching the daily show since Craig Kilborn and can remember being apprehensive about that new Jon guy taking over. I just tried to watch Michelle Obama’s Daily Show ep and it just kept starting in the middle of the Eric Andre interview. This has been happening for a week. I deleted the app and reinstalled, and both this and the Nomzamo Mbatha episode straight up won’t play. Michelle Obama I get the spinny wheel, and Nomzamo Mbatha I just get a black screen saying it isn’t available. I’ve probably missed 10 episodes of the daily show in six years overall and to have it melt down while trying to watch Michelle Obama is just too much. I had to come back to write my review. Please. This app is terrible. Other folks have outlined how terrible it is in technical terms. I’m giving you the emotional plea. I’ve quit watching all sorts of wonderful CC content because of its dysfunction but usually I can get the daily show to work. I know you can do it. I know you can make it better. Please.

Great content / integrations :: not a joy to use

Look if you are here, you want CC's content if you are here and it's available and available immediately. It's wonderful, use it. You can steam on device and to ur casting devices. When you do... If you never need to do more than play, u r still good. However If you want to rewind or fast forward this is where the frustration lies. Why two stars off for that? Well because there are many UI enhancements that could be used here. To me simply not having the time in video the marker is when you slide is an awfully huge oversight in the user's experience. Even simply a "back 15 seconds" arrow. Imagine the frustration of having to blindly bounce into a video and watch 2 minutes of ads multiple times just to find where you left off. Makes me feel that the main use case has a sev 1/2 bug and shouldn't last more than one release.

Horrible app design and functionality

This app is terrible. I love CC but it seems like when it comes to the app they just said F-it and cobbled some barley working interface with some shiny new graphic design to make it look pretty. The show selection screen has no quick search or even an alphabetical side bar. Also if my iPad is in portrait mode and I even tap a show it automatically begins the show, there is an option to turn off auto play however when you tap the name of a show it automatically starts the episode paused. which would not be so bad if the maximize/minimize window wasn’t all the way in the top right corner out of sight. What’s even worse is that sometimes the button is missing forcing me to close the app completely and reopen, just to tap the show I want and have it automatically start, rotate, and waits for you to press play. I can tell others have had similar interactions due to the comments so please as a loyal watcher and fan of everything this company produces please take these complaints into consideration, Thank you -Loyal Fan

Obvious features missing, pretty surprising..

This is a great app if you enjoy spending tons of time searching for what you’re wanting to watch. Oh, by searching I mean scrolling. Apparently the developers of this app thought not having a search or favorite function made sense. It seems to be almost a default function for any other similar app that the lack of having a search bar was so surprising I even double checked while writing this to make sure I didn’t miss it. I came to check the reviews purposefully to be sure I wasn’t the only one confused about this or missing it. So anyway, if you enjoy mindlessly scrolling and using apps that are entirely not user friendly, this should be your jam. Again, this is not a technical problem. Everything functions fine, hence the one and only star, but this app doesn’t even group things into category by host/comedian or anything like that. Again, surprising and disappointing coming from such a popular channel. This seems like it could be an easy fix so hopefully that will be taken into consideration... Update: just want to be clear this is not a “troubleshooting” issue... the design of the app is just terrible at baseline

Almost seems like a joke

The Comedy Central app, although “functional” seems to have huge technological oversights and issues that seem like just lapses in the creators intelligence. Why is it that every time I want to go watch a show that is not on the front page of the app, I have to scroll through the entire catalogue just to find my one show? Why am I not able to pin a show, or have a section that says continue watching? It seems like a complete de-emphasis of the rest of the available content available on the app and is a chore that plagues even getting to an episode. My second major complaint lies within the placement of the ads on the video. I understand that to make money on their app they need to run ads, but why on earth is it the same cycle of terrible ads and at such terrible points in the video. A normal video that was 4 ad breaks would space them out so that you watch roughly 25% of the video, then there’s an ad break, but with this app, there are no ads for the first half of the video, and then in the second half. Even if the defense is that they want to align the ads with the commercial breaks, the absolute slog it is to stick through an entire video makes you think if anyone who developed the app even watched a single episode using the app. In conclusion, this app works, it does the bare minimum, but there’s so much that is done wrong that could be so easily corrected it’s frustrating to see such oversights.

Unnecessary

The update on this app was unnecessary. I’m totally OK with watching commercials for the program I tune in to. But to make it so that Viewers have to sit through the commercials for other programs as well is just uncalled for. Now, unlike before when you tap on a video it takes you to whichever video the app wants to take you to before giving you the option to filter, now you have to watch the commercials for that program before you can close it to then make the selection of the program you are actually interested in, then watch the. Commercials for that one as well before the video starts. For example, if you were interested in watching the daily show from three days ago, when you tap on the daily show program it automatically takes you to the most current episode, you then have to watch all the commercials for that episode before you are able to close the episode to then choose the video you really wanted from three days prior, you then have to watch the commercials for that one as well and then you get the video. I don’t know if this is a scam or a glitch but I will not stand for it, not even for Trevor Noah! There are entirely too many options out there to put up with this type of stuff anymore.

Rarely have problems with apps, this app never works

I never write reviews because I never have problems with apps. I’m that guy that sees negative reviews about the app crashing and always wonder what they are talking about. But this app is the worst TV/movie app I’ve ever used and I have probably two dozen on my phone that I use regularly. My specific issue is with the attempt to watch South Park through the app on my iPhone. Every time I press play, it either is stuck on continuous load or will play until the first commercial break and then get stuck on load. It usually does not work for weeks until one day it will work and play the rest of the episode. This has happened on every single episode of this season that I have attempted to watch. This did not used to happen. If I was Comedy Central I would fire the developer of this app. Again, I never write reviews because I am genuinely happy with the vast majority of apps that I use. This is one of the worst apps I have and I feel cheated out of a program/channel that I pay for.
