Fine, but missing Forgotten Weapons content
I’m a big Forgotten Weapons fan, and moved my subscription to this app from Floatplane to support Ian directly and also because I was curious about the other content makers. The others are a bit hit and miss for me (like Bloke on the Range and Royal Armouries, not really interested in Cap and Ball or British Muzzle Loaders). Would be amazing if they got C&Rsenal, who I know Ian has worked with before, to sign up.
My big issue, however, is that the app does not feature all of the FW content which is on YouTube and the other paid channels, and even those videos which it does feature often seem to turn up days later. At first I thought this might be me so I raised a support ticket (no response more than a week later), but it’s a continuing issue. I really resent paying and not getting content which I then have to watch the YouTube ads to see.
In fairness the app works well, so no complaints there. If you are interested I’d suggest taking a month’s subscription and seeing if the nonFW content is sufficient to justify the price for you. Personally I’ll be moving back to Floatplane, and subscribing to the couple of other channels I like on YouTube for when I’m in the mood.

Better than you tube
I’m a fan of Ian and Forgotten Weapons, so it was an obvious decision. Especially since you tube has taken such an anti-free-speech stance. This is an excellent app. I am also really enjoying the new shows. Great fun, and interesting.
Very nice app
Much better for binge watching than YT
Everything right here
Thousands of videos on firearms history, engineering and more with different creators and categories to search through. All right in front of you and easy to use
A solid and reliable platform
I’m very happy to have a reliable and ergonomic platform to support many of the firearms and history content creators that I enjoy. I only hope they add more creators such as Paper Cartridges. As well as more purely historical content beyond firearms. The guns are the main reason I’m here but this really can be a haven for the content that is wrongly penalised for its subject matter. It’s absolutely worth £8 or $10 a month.

History and learning
Amazing app for someone that wants to learn a great deal about weapons, their reason for existing and how different yet similar they are.
Quality content
History of Weapons and War has brought together some of the best firearms and military content on the Internet, and does it for a small financial ask.
Wowza! Unga Bunga!
Is good app. Happy to leave 5 star review. Happy to support Ian McCollum and Friends after so many hours of enjoyment of their content.
+1: The app works well which is nice and with easy to navigate UI.
-1: No search bar.
Still, I like using it better than YouTube.

Awesome, but I wish it worked with LG
The only criticism I have, is that I wish it was available on the LG store. Works on all my devices except my main tv as it’s an LG smart tv.
Excellent Platform !!
Most of the channels I already watch but all in the same app, remember to sign up on the website before downloading the app..
