Would be good if the live stream actually worked

Try to watch Arthur but was not available. Had to wait 30 minutes so that the PBS app would install, but Arthur was not on anymore. Please fix the live stream.😐

Worst app ever for Canadians!!

Love PBS but not able to watch most of the programs. Love the 'idea' of the app but it doesn't allow me to view the programs I want. Needs to be organized to better identify types of programs to watch, e.g., drama, mystery, comedy, documentaries, etc. As it is set up now, it's difficult and time consuming to locate programs. Please stop advertising that PBS Passport is available to Canadians or at least mention that you're working on making it better. Also, it would be helpful if PBS removed the programs that cannot be viewed, e.g., there are two Professor Ts listed but only the second one listed can be viewed. Such a disappointment!

Another disappointed Canadian

Can not get all the programs available through Passport. I will not be renewing. So disappointed.

Not happy with app

Seems the app has not been updated. Also shows I really was interested in has 3 seasons and seasons 2 and 3 are a duplicate of Season 1. Great nothing like a repeat.

Still not great for Canadians

Sadly, I don’t find PBS Passport all that I hoped for. I can’t tell if it’s just because certain shows are not available here in Canada or if it’s the way the app is organized. I suspect it’s just the way the app is built that’s not very user-friendly. For example, there’s no way of knowing when the most recent episodes of something will actually be available on demand. If something played recently on WNEDTV it doesn’t mean you’ll be able to watch it on demand for a while. If I ever? Just frustrating… Happy to support PBS, but these days when I get virtually all of my viewing via different apps, it certainly seems to me that the PBS app is primitive.

Why no Chromecast?

A few years ago (at the start of COVID) WNED or PBS Tech Support told me that Chromecasting from an iPhone was in development for this app. I’ve just updated it and it still isn’t there. Every other streaming service we use casts with Chrome. I’m curious why WNED/PBS does not.

Unusable - can’t authenticate

I live in Canada and have location settings to precise location and always allow location tracking. Nevertheless, am unable to log in with username and password. I can authenticate in Safari but not this lousy app. It’s completely unusable. 0 starts if I rate 0.

needs some tweaking

needs some tweaking for sure

Worst app - deleted it

This is the worst App for Canadians. I love watching WNED -TV, but there is nothing available for us here on the App in Canada.

Terrible for Canadians

I can’t get shows to work on the this App. Trying to watch Arthur with my kids. Just won’t play.
I see a lot of negative reviews from Canadians. Why aren’t the developers correcting the problems?
