Boomerang - Cartoons & Movies Reviews

by Anthro_chick

I use this solely to watch classic Looney Tunes episodes. I have zero desire to watch anything else. The major problem is that I’ve watched ALL of the episodes but Boomerang WILL NOT REMOVE THEM from the “Watching Now” list. I have to go into the episode, fast forward it to the end, tap “Back” at the minute, precise time, and HOPE that it clears from the list. I’ve done this OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, but it doesn’t always clear the episode from the list. Often it keeps the same one on and I have to try again. When I think I’ve whittled it down to the actual episode I’m watching, IT ADDS THEM ALL BACK! Very, VERY, INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING. I watch the various playlists and like to go back to the one I’m actually on, but I never know which one it is because it says I’m currently watching 12 episodes from four different shows. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this glitch or add an option to clear your queue/watching now list

Let’s start with a positive...Boomerang is well created especially with the video playback so I give props to the dev team for doing their thing on Boomerang. Those employees deserve a raise.

Now let’s get to the issues. I don’t know if they are short on server space but Boomerang deserves more than the 15-20 series they have on here. I really came on here expecting to see cartoons like power puff girls, dexter, animaniacs, samurai jack, or even Johnny bravo from growing up as a late 80s baby or more older cartoons that I remember watching with my grand father growing up. I really paid my money to relive my childhood but it looks like I’ll have to scavenge the internet to continue to do so instead of coming to Boomerang hoping that a lot of it would be compiled on here just like Disney has their old cartoons on their app.

First of all, I love the tv shows on Boomerang. Please continue to add more throwback cartoons! The reason I’m giving Boomerang such a low rating is because of all the technical issues I’ve been facing. I love that there is a download feature as I often watch shows on my phone on my commute to work which has little to no service. The downloads feature was working fine at first but once I turned my phone on airplane mode I was unable to start a show. Clicking on the show did nothing unless I had service. The second issue was the downloaded show would randomly stop while I was watching it on airplane mode. Once it stopped I had to back out and start the show from the beginning and hope it would work without stopping. It was hard to finish a single downloaded episode without service. This happened multiple times and I wasn’t able to finish the episode. The final issue occurred while I was watching a downloaded episode without airplane mode on with service coming in and out. The screen went black for a couple of seconds and then crashed. I was unable to open Boomerang again because everyone I tried it crashed. I had to delete Boomerang which deleted all of my downloads. Since downloading episodes only worked some of the time, I am unable to download episodes I haven’t seen yet because I have reached my “two downloads per year” limit. I love that there is a download feature but please fix this as soon as possible and I will purchase a yearly subscription!!!

I grew up with this app as a kid in the early to mid 2000’s and loved watching it. Even though Cartoon Network was still evolving with more shows that came out like Ed, Edd N Eddy, Foster’s Home and Codename: KND just to name a few. I found it awesome that there was an app for it but quickly realized it’s missing A LOT of shows. You guys better quit screwing around and hop to it. Foster’s was one of my many favorites and it’s not even on here!!!! If you want more subscribers and good reviews, make a better app, put all of the so-called “5000” shows you have on here and even if you up the charge for them, I’ll buy a year subscription. Because I miss watching these classic shows and want to do so. It would be an even bigger bonus if we can somehow select Cartoon Network bumpers from whatever year. My personal favorites were the Cartoon Network City bumpers. But you guys got to bring back ALL OF THOSE SHOWS. Wouldn’t hurt to have the Miguzi shows like teen titans or TMNT. If you can work on the shows at the very least I will be a returning subscriber. Please upgrade and revamp your app! I would love to return to it!!!

I love Boomerang and I’ve had it for a year but as bad as I want to give it a 5 star I can’t cause where is these show I’m bout to list. pink panther ,the snorks ,dexters Laboratory, chowder,Hong Kong phooey, the power puff girls ,the old school teen titans, Johnny bravo ,Ed Ed and eddy, samurai jack, fosters home of imaginary friends, cow and chicken, Ben 10, Ben 10 Omniverse, swat cats aaanndd the list could go on my point is if your going to make a this app app don’t let other companies contract the shows those are what made my childhood it’s a this app app that’s supposed to show old school shows so make it that way bring the good cartoons from then to Boomerang and I’ve been on there a year nearly 2 and they haven’t brought much over to this app and 2 years is a long time to do something or add some more old school shows all and all I love this app but they got to do better with Boomerang

I love all the this app content takes me back to Saturday morning cartoons in the 80s and 90s. In terms of the application itself It’s probably my least favorite streaming app (I use a few). I’ve been able to successfully cast it to my tv ONCE since I downloaded Boomerang. Every other time that I’ve tried it results in Boomerang shutting down. I’d love the option to save a series (like a watch list) so I can skim through episodes instead of having to go to a previously watched episode, start it then click on the icon that allows me to search the episode list (if there is an easier way to do I haven’t figured it out). Overall its an average app with a lot of room for improvement with great content.

I already belong to Netflix. While I enjoy that you have some shows that Netflix doesn’t offer, Netflix asks far less for overall value. They just have more shows to pick from. As I’m already paying for that, to add your premium pack and not get more of the shows, the Hannah Barbara staples like: Super friends, seat Katz, pirates of Dark water, Captain Planet, Top Cat, and the later projects like Ed, Ed, and Eddy, Dexters Lab, Powerpuff Girls, etc...

I’m a huge fan of the likes of Secret Squirrel, underdog, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Beenie and Cecil, and even Ren and Stimpie but Im not sure how you go about getting your licenses. I’m sure bigger names like Marvel and DC 1990 titles are off the table... The new adventures of Johnny Quest? Any of these having easy access to would be wonderful and see me forking over a yearly subscription :3

by Broney220

it sure is nice having a streaming service which allows me to see many of the cartoons I had watched on reruns growing up as a kid, especially since at least some of them are not available for purchase in any format. The annual or monthly subscription rates are very reasonable just for those facts alone. Here is where Boomerang needs some work, it is not completely voiceover compliant, and anyone who has difficulty reading the screen and the information on the icons as I do and probably many other users have, can probably appreciate this issue. what we end up with, is my clicking on a choice and not knowing exactly what I’m about to watch until it comes on the screen, at which point I can recognize it there. But it would be nice to have Boomerang be 100% voiceover compatible, and since I have other streaming services which already have this capability, I know it can be done. If the developers listen to or read this review and correct this issue, I would have absolutely no problem changing my reading to five stars. However, it does earn a solid four star rating just the same.

this app is a streaming service for the iconic old fashioned cartoons under the Warner Bros. Brand name. For only $5 a month with the first month free it’s recommended for animation fans, families, kids and a general audience. They even add new original content like the Wacky races reboot and the new wizard of Oz cartoon, some new shows based on old favorites are on the way &!while there is room for improvement with them their worth checking out. Only real complaint is that some favorites should be on here like Duck Dodgers, Tiny Toons, Tazmania and especially the CN studio originals like Kids next door, Johnny Bravo and others. We got Courage & Lazlo great, but My Gym partners a monkey is lame. Luckily they also got a bunch of movies and for only $5 monthly I say give it a try.

I’ve gotta say I’m pretty blown away by the overall quality of Boomerang and programming. While my review was 4 stars I would say it’s more of a 4.5. I was very skeptical when it was announced given the dive in quality of the this app TV channel. However, I was proven wrong in a big way. The selection is great and growing not to mention Boomerang and website seem to have been put together really well. It seems like the team working on them real took time and effort to make it a good quality. The only disappointing part is the inconsistency of the downloading feature. Some episodes downloaded correctly while others did not. For example, one episode downloaded but didn’t have any audio. Others simply didn’t want to play. I also think a couple tweaks to the mobile app would be very beneficial. For example, I think adding a downloaded tab that takes you to all of the content you downloaded would be much more convenient than having to scroll to the bottom of the mobile app to find that section. I’m also not the biggest fan of episodes continuously playing whenever I’m scrolling through episodes on the desktop version. It’s not a major deal just something I’m not the biggest fan of. Again, overall it’s been a great experience and if a couple tweaks are made and content is being added regularly I don’t see why Boomerang/service couldn’t become even better.

I was ecstatic to find out about Boomerang! Since their channel on TV is starting to show newer shows, I thought that was the end of Scooby Doo and other old favorites. That’s when Boomerang gave me hope! It’s a great price to subscribe, and it even has movies from some of your favorite old series! It’d be cool to have slightly more content, like 3-5 more shows. Only issue I have is with playing it on chrome cast or my laptop. When casting it, I can’t rewind or fast forward and when watching on my laptop, I don’t always get sound. That, or the sound will continue, while the picture is frozen. It’s weird. Aside from those little bugs, and being eager for slightly more content (I mainly just want some more of the prominent Scooby Doo movies LOL) it’s a great app that any fan of the channel should download.

This is a great app. I get to share cartoons that I grew up watching with my kids and it’s nice to have a couple of things downloaded on hand for when I’m waiting in line or bored on the train.
One thing that bugs me about Boomerang is that the download function doesn’t always work. Sometimes I’ll repeatedly tap download and nothing will happen. Other times downloads will take forever or sometimes the download appeared to be fixed finished only for me to find that it didn’t finish downloading once I get somewhere and want to watch something. I also find downloading movies to be nearly impossible and I haven’t successfully done so yet, which is so disappointing! If those issues could be fixed, this would be perfect and I would most likely renew my subscription, which I’m currently thinking of not doing.

So like I love this app soooo much!! It has basically all my favorite shows and movies. And I love that you guys added all those Scooby doo shows. THANK YOU :D but I have a problem after I download stuff and I try to watch it it never works.. I can only watch a few things that I have downloaded and they are really glitchy and the graphics are bad. Also I hate when you stop watching a show and come back you have to re watch some parts. I also wish when you clicked like a series character it wouldn’t just start watching an episode I wish it would just take you there because I always accidentally click that instead of the all episodes button. Thanks for your time and keep up the outstanding work!! :))

While Boomerang DESPERATELY needs more classic shows added, it is wonderfully priced and works superb!

While I admit that with its limited library I already own pretty much everything on here, there is one wonderful reason I'm subscribing...

...IT HAS "YOGI'S SPACE RACE"!!! I ALWAYS LOVED THIS CARTOON! I was both surprised and delighted to see it on here, as it has yet to be release for purchase on iTunes! I hope this means that it will be soon...

It also contains "The Galaxy Goof Ups", which I DO already own (it went up on iTunes a few years after my request and I immediately bought it, as it was the OTHER reason I loved "Space Race" so much - it used to be featured on that show!).

So I'm also eagerly hoping for...

The CB Bears
Laff-A-Lympics (UPDATE: I just noticed that Boomerang *does* indeed have this one; I'm not sure yet, but they may even have put up all the episodes!)
The Biskitts
The Space Kidettes
Sampson and Goliath
Johnny Quest
The Banana Splits Show
Dynomutt
Loopy De Loop
Peter Potamus
Breezly and Sneezly
Lippy the Lion
Yippie, Yappee, and Yahooee
The Funky Phantom

The list goes on and on... and on, and on, and on...

...PLEASE! I'd be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!

I’m a 90’s kid and my father and I use to watch these really old cartoon shows together. Especially the old Scooby Doo ones. I can’t tell you how how much joy it brings me that there’s an app now so I can watch these show anytime I want especially since they are slowly removing the older shows from the network. I tend to leave it up in the background when I work on things.

Boomerang itself is very user friendly and easy to use. The layout is wonderful. The only thing is it seems like when series are updated there isn’t a way to tell it is without having to go into each character image. That I find can be frustrating.

I can’t wait to see which shows will be added next! Thank you so much.

I love Boomerang I have it on my all of my roku's in my house It's just like old times with my best friend. I just wish you would add more
Scooby-Doo movies and more episodes and more episodes and movie of other shows to but the one thing I didn't like was the remake of Wacky Races. But Boomerang make me feel like I am still 2 and watch these shows for the first time just getting to watch them again. Thanks for the awesome app.! But the one thing I don't like is all the new show there so boring I'm a 80's-90's kid and I love watching the old shows especially old SCOOBY-DOO!!! So let's make some changes. It also is really glitchy sometimes so maybe it would be better to have it use less internet so it's not glitchy all the time. Thanks.

I absolutely adore Boomerang. It is probably my most utilized subscription service. My one issue is that I recently got Sonos One speakers and unlike the rest of my streaming apps, I have been unable to utilize the airplay feature while using Boomerang. It shows it as an option when looking at the "speakers" section under the "audio" tab but when I select it, no sound plays. Boomerang has no problem utilizing airplay on my iPhone or iPad. If you could get that to work, it'd be awesome to have my cartoons utilizing the fullest potential of my bedroom setup.

Aside from that, I’m SO excited about all of the new scooby stuff!!! I have been waiting forever to watch the Mystery Incorporated series and I am just in love with this.

Boomerang almost feels like I’m sitting on the living room floor with my big brother on a Saturday morning! I grew up watching Hanna-Barbera cartoons — no one did it better then H-P Production Company so it’s great to have a few of their best in the palm of my hand.

I was an adult by the time Cartoon Network came along and I was thrilled when they did the this app Channel spin-off. I would watch old favorites like Shazan, Quick Draw McGraw, Frankenstein Jr. & The Impossibles, Samson and Goliath, the New Scooby-Doo Movies, Hong Kong Phooey and Dynomutt.

Boomerang has brought back fun, fond memories. The content thus far has been great but I’m hoping more from the “golden age” of H-B Production Company (1958 to 1978) will be added!! You know one can never watch too much Clue Club, Ricochet Rabbit, Peter Potomus, Funky Phantom and the Hair Bear Bunch😄so keep it coming this app; keep it coming!!!

Now I’ve been a fan of this app before it was an app and always watched it when I had cable. Ever since I got Boomerang I was able to get shows and stream them at such a low price a month which I was very happy about because I was already paying so much money for other subscriptions. Yes Boomerang had some miner issues that were fixed liked the crash of Boomerang that happens still from time to time but it wasn’t bad like it used to be. With other problems but they were fixed.

I just reopened my app to check what was new and I was literally in tears when I saw you guys put MGM cartoons. I’ve never felt so blessed to have the classics I hold dear in my heart. It has been a hard Journey trying to find them since I no longer have cable to watch the this app channel for awhile now and missed them dearly. Thanks for creating an app the brings back the joy and memories of my youth.

This is an app i’ve been looking for for months, and I’ve finally found it. It has so many awesome, classic and old cartoons that I used to watch at my grandparents house since I didn’t have it on my TV. I only got it for one thing in particular, Scooby-Doo, and the old one I mean. This was my absolute favorite show, and I since I could only watch it at my grandparents house, it sorta sucked that way. Now that there’s an app, I can watch it anywhere, and it gives me such a nostalgic feeling. But, there’s only a very small amount of episodes of “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You.” Is it possible to add more, there’s a ton missing! Anyways, great, convenient, and astounding app! Keep up with the great work!

I really like Boomerang i just wanted to ask you something so if you can, please answer!:)

There are a few little flaws in usability (they are small flaws like character icons that play one cartoon and then return to menu) and there are the occasional glitch (we had some cartoons play without sound a few times) but for the most part it’s easy to use. Even better is the selection that is a combination of classic cartoons, retro 80s and 90s and recent hits. They change up the movie selection sometimes also do holiday and seasonal themed playlists and selections. Also the yearly price is very fair and adds to the convenience; especially if you have kids. One of my family’s favorite apps. Hope it lasts a long time.

Boomerang is amazing! I have only one problem. I wish you got more episodes for the free version maybe just a couple? Anyways I just downloaded Boomerang today and I am amazed at it! Most apps make their game look fun in the advertisements but really they are trash! And that’s the reason why I like Boomerang! Whenever I download something like this it always would crash and my iPad would freeze which was really annoying! 🙄🙄 If someone asked me if Boomerang was any good I would say: Of course! It is amazing! Another reason why I like Boomerang is that it has all my favorite cartoons! I can’t say anything bad! Thank you for making Boomerang!
