What Is Wrong With Hulu App For Android Phone 10/1/19
New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…
Original story (published on July 25, 2021) follows:
The Disney-owned video on demand service, Hulu, has over 40 million subscribers. Most subscribers use Hulu on numerous devices to watch their favorite content.
While Hulu is indeed a prominent name when it comes to subscription video-on-demand services, its subscribers have had or even continue to have their fair share of tough time.
There have been multiple reports of Hulu subscribers facing bugs and issues across different platforms. Also, most if not all these problems were widespread and lasted for far too long.
However, Hulu support does a pretty good job of acknowledging virtually all issues and bugs which are reported by subscribers.
Moreover, the service provider even tries to resolve all major and minor issues in a timely manner.
While it is not feasible to fix each and every issue, Hulu still keeps on striving to deliver a flawless experience.
There are even several workarounds which can come in quite handy with several issues but a proper and permanent solution is still required.
Thus simply acknowledging the problems becomes futile if they are not getting resolved after even a significant amount of time.
To recall, the 'Error code: P-DEV318' and 'Sorry, this channel is temporarily unavailable' issues have been troubling users since months.
There are more such instances where Hulu acknowledged the problem and even provided updates regarding the same but failed to resolve them eventually.
As mentioned earlier, while responding to affected users promptly is indeed a good sign, all that effort goes in vain if those users don't get to see relevant results in a timely manner.
That said, we will keep an eye on all the bugs and issues which have been or are yet to trouble Hulu subscribers.
We will also keep this story updated with the latest developments as and when they occur so be sure to keep a weather eye on it.
