  • I like it ... just needs one thing 🙂

    This app is very well put together and it is really easy to navigate. The one thing that would make it a 5/5 star review is to have the option to watch programs and shows and pay off your Apple account instead of using a TV provider, mainly because I don’t have a TV provider so I can’t use this feature and use the app to it’s %100 capability. Thats really all

  • App works great! Commercial/Ads Fail!!

    I love the content! Big fan of Nat Geo TV!! The App works perfectly too! However, the add content, the number or frequency of ads and the ability to interact is a big failure!!

    I watch the App on my Apple TV. When I first experienced the “interactive ad” for Panera I figured this could be a new and more exiting way to watch an ad. Whom ever created the Panera ad clearly didn’t understand the concept as the interactive-ability doesn’t happen?? In addition, I have now watched that same ad (the one I didn’t appreciate the first time I saw it)probably 20 times in the first 3 shows I’ve watched. Now I probably have some negative perception to the advertiser due to the poor customer experience??

    Fail!

  • Clunky

    I have the app for one sole purpose. To watch Mars.
    The app has users pivoting between choices when the commercial segment stArts, but the app does not respond. Or the interface to choose one commercial or multiple don’t seem to work.
    I would rather just have a stream with commercials and get rid of the interactive stuff. It’s frustrating.

  • Love Nature Stories

    Thankful to all the many people going out making documentaries, saving our animals and sharing their experiences, for the World to see. Our Animals should be protected from men that just want to Kill for trophies. Thank you for sharing their stories.
  • My review.

    I thoroughly enjoy NatGeo on my iPad as well as the broadcast tv version. Of course with the iPad I have more selection on what I want to watch. I also have the History, History Vault and the Curiosity apps. I have the History Vault but have not activated yet due to it’s seemingly negative reviews.
    I not had any of those issues with the NatGeo app.
    The wide variety of shows with your app allows me to bounce back and forth between NatGeo and Curiosity apps.
    I rarely watch broadcast tv with the exception of some live sports.
    So. I enjoy this app. Many,many,many props to the film making personnel who also put their lives on the line for the filming in certainly dangerous situations.

  • Ad integration...horrific

    First, I don’t mind ads. But the sheer number of ads; the “choice” to see multiple or single ads and the repetition of the same cross promotional nonsense makes this format frustrating at best; and a waste of time in the new digital era of media.

    I’d love to be fly on wall of the exec meeting discussing ad placements in the app. “Hey lets synergy our cross promotional shows and really...zzzzz!” “Blue sky that idea Farnsworth!!” - seriously, just give me the ad without having me navigate the idiotic menu with a prompt the size of a pea. Give me multiple ads at once! I don’t care about the ads, I get it, it makes you money but why can’t media companies understand user experience should be front and center. Why can’t you just deliver a similar TV experience? Do you get digital is the new TV? No need to make it harder. It’s entertainment. I pay you to immerse myself in nonsense; not to think about what ad I’d like to see especially when....it’s the same stupid ad. Ok I get CW is pushing supergirl by repeatedly showing her thrust out her bosoms over and over; I get CW is pushing Charmed, which btw, I couldn’t figure out which show was which. And both shows aren’t even close to the target demographic of the tv show I am watching. The chance of me watching CW is zero.

    Perhaps I’m cynical but I have more hope for a 5 year old exploring play dough than these dumb “tv” execs.

  • Nat Geo TV

    Nat Geo TV is a well designed application that allows users to easily customize their experience with the option of selecting their favorite shows as well as the ability to easily search for programs they may be interested in. Like most TV channel applications users can watch live programming by logging in if they subscribe to a cable provider.

  • Good but to busy

    It’s a good app but there’s to much going on. The effects for the app make it slow and difficult to navigate. I still haven’t found how to continue watching a series. I have to find the last episode as season every time. Picture quality is good so no complaints there but a little tweaking would be great.

  • Love National Geographic Hate this app

    I won’t bother with anything other then the technical here.

    -does not fix iPhone X screen
    -no option to fill video to iPhone X screen
    -app locks up if you switch away from it while playing a video
    -app does not remember which episode was play led last from main screen
    -app does not integrate with TV app well
    -no screen casting option

    Come on guys Apple is soon requiring iOS 11 and iPhone X screen support to release further updates invest more in a quality app and a standalone subscription not requiring cable tv no many younger people even have cable anymore.

    Other

    -no fire tv app

  • Respectfully watchable and affordable quality entertainment

    I’m so pleased having a break from the daily burdens of negativity and so appreciate the notifications. Thank goodness for the true effort toward interesting and substantive viewing Nat Geo provides. Family entertainment like this needs more invitations to connect the social connections that is healing to a political and newsworthy repose from terror so prevalent these days. The electronics distractions offer fodder for conversations we’ve missed far too long. Thanks again for stepping up and not quitting as so many of us thrive on the arts and sciences. Keep it up!
