Between WWE Network, Netflix, Hulu Plus and VRV (those are the only 4 I've ever used), WWE Network is the only one that regularly had malfunctions. My friends wanna watch Wrestlemania here, and I'm nervous as hell about the connection staying intact.
VRV tends to cut out a bit more than Netflix and Hulu Plus, but I can deal with it. But one issue with their disconnecting is it starts flickering between the "connection lost" message and the show, and it keeps repeating this sound effect until it eventually decides to stop on the "connection lost" message.
Hulu Plus skips out a time or two, but nowhere near as much as VRV or WWE.

WWE Network would randomly crash on me. It was one of the reasons I never renewed after the free trial.

I hate Crunchyroll due to the constant barrage of ads you get when watching.
I have a Prime account due to being a college student and I gotta say, the selection sucks. You're better off just having an internet subscription to a cable company and subscribing to channels who allow access via their websites.

Of the ones I regularly use WWE Network is pretty bad. I hate that it auto plays stuff, the layout is clunky, I have a hard time searching for stuff.

Yeah, of the ones I regularly use (Netflix, WWE, Crave) WWE Network is by far the worst. It crashes a lot, seems to require significantly better internet to run smooth then the others, has a really shitty UI, no “recommend for you” algorithms, questionable organisation, and a is just a very half assed app. And it feels like it hasn’t changed since like the first couple months. EDIT: It also lacks any sort of indicator on the shows that you’ve already watched. Which is something they used to have but got rid of

Hulu recebtly changed it's interface and I hate it... also where's Garfield and Friends? I don’t know but they’re ready to party they’re ready. Oh well, maybe just go to Netflix. "Friends" are there...

NBC Sports Gold is garbage. I first used it when the Rio Olympics were going on, and out of everything going on Cable TV, they aired Monica Puig of Puerto Rico against Petra Kvitová in women's semifinal tennis. (Which was odd, you'd think here in the US they'd air Angelique Kerber - my favorite - vs. American Madison Keys, but I assume it's because Monica was the better story; virtual unknown from a place that doesn't win a lot of medals.)
Stuff was all jumpy or locked up constantly. "Okay," I said, "a lot of people are probably watching this. I'll give them a pass. It's still fairly new."
They started airing Premier League games later on. I'm a Newcastle United fan, so of course they don't air on my TV unless they're playing a Top 4 club. I go to the Gold, try this out again. Somehow it got even worse.
I gave up. At least TuneIn Radio had the audio for these games, so I used them until TuneIn no longer offered EPL games.

Spotify on mobile is everything the desktop version isn't.
It's like they took the desktop version and thought "How can we make this shit?" when it came to cell phone version.

WWE network never has worked smoothly for me. There help people keeps saying upgrade to the highest internet you have in the area. When netflix and any other service runs just fine without an issues. There is an issue when it crashes and when I'm watching an old PPV that it would randomly go three matches back on it's own. The newest issue I've had it would play for a couple mins and freeze up where to can't get out of it until you completely restart the gaming console. Once I uninstall and reinstall the app it fine from doing that. That's what I heard too. I used to not have any issues with Netflix, Hulu, and playing online. I stopped subscribing to it for awhile. It seems to be working better for me now. I've also moved everything around and my devices are much closer together.

NJPW World on Fire TV. Absolutely fine on desktop, laptop, phone, XB1. Sucks on Fire TV.

The Crunchyroll PS3 app has a nasty habit of randomly freezing the system. Worst part is that this has been an issue for years, they recently updated the app, and it's gone completely unfixed.

For me it's gotta be Crackle, in the two years or so Crackle has been on my smart TV it has not added a single new movie or TV series. Although I do give it credit for having Real Genius & The Last Dragon

Honor Club for the quality of the experience
Netflix Canada for the content

Agree with New Japan world. Big pain in the ass and the video quality is often not good

Prime Video is pretty bad. Only thing that saves it is the original shows are really good. The selection otherwise is crap.

I gave up NJPW World solely because it is such garbage at actually playing videos.
