Unstable App - Crashes All The Time
This App is a piece of Junk. It crashes constantly which is so sad given the fantastic content that the app is supposed to present. Sure wish the developers would do a better job or at least admit their failings and fix so those of us who love Nat Geo could view the fine content that is available.

Great app !!!!
Finally a great app!!! I normally don’t write reviews , however, I just had to write about this great app, it has all of the shows that I love to watch on National Geographic and the additional networks it has gotten since the beginning are great , so thank you for creating a great app!!! I just wished that the other apps that are struggling would follow your template, it sure would make watching television more enjoyable such as your wonderful app!!! So thank you again..

Highly entertaining
National Geographic is not only highly entertaining , but also many things. The programs are enlightening , learning experiences, as well as historical fact and awareness. Not to mention the photography is phenomenal. The latest series Long Road Home gives us as Americans a deeper respect and understanding for our military. As so does Morgan Freeman’s series on Search for God, All about us, reveals all facts thus giving us all a better understanding.

Content saves it
Login in is quite a challenge. It takes many tries.

The shows are not easy to navigate to find the episode you want, although eventually you get there. It all works, but it makes you work back.

If it wasn’t because of the terrific would be a download/try/delete within 15 minutes.

Very mediocre app
I installed the app to watch “The State” on my iPad. For some odd reason (bug?), only episodes 2 and 3 are available. Impossible to find episodes 1 and 4 anywhere, even though they are available on the Apple TV app. Sounds like bad QA. Also, the unskippable commercial breaks that play the exact same preview for an upcoming show every 10 minutes, sometimes twice in a row, are really irritating. I’d happily pay for a subscription to not have to sit though commercials. The old TV networks are just not getting it.

Technology is awful
Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other reviewers that the app itself is technically flawed. It's usability misses some basic features like highlighting links once you've click them, so you never know if you've selected it. It's incredibly challenging just to sign in. And its general navigation is amazingly confusing in a world of simple-to-use apps. I really wanted to watch the shows through the app, but it's not worth the headache and waste of time trying to get it to work.

Good but...
Great app! However you should be able to favorite shows so you can access them quickly. I know the app allows you to do this with episodes, but to do this with the actual shows would make it that much more convenient and enjoyable. Otherwise I love this channel, very meaningful shows, keep up the great work with this app!

Enjoyable.
I've enjoyed watching the shows on the app. Ads are annoying, but a necessary evil to be able to access the shows (I think this varies a bit according to cable provider). But having commercials is no different than it would be on TV. I didn't have trouble logging in once I chose my cable provider. I believe shows from both the regular Nat Geo channel and the Nat Geo Wild channel are available which is nice.

Log-In is Difficult!
Please add a Log-In option on the home menu. Clicking on the Sign-on after selecting a program only crashes the app. Also, please fix the Settings that allows cable subscribers to add their cable provider without crashing your app, and save those settings for a specific device, cable provider, user ID, and password. Having no way to return to the app, when accidentally tapping on a commercial, is beyond frustrating . . . your paying viewers just want to go back to the point where they left off in the program. Fix these bugs and watch your viewership increase! Please!!
