But the rate of commercials seems unreasonably high as compared to other network apps. ### 3/5 — Way to many commercials. *2019-07-19, version 2.18.0* In my experience when using an channel app like his one the commercials are usually way less then if I were watching it actually on tv but this app shows commercials every 4 to 6 mins. Its hard to watch sometimes. Besides that it’s fine. **Developer response:** Currently, we allocate the same amount of airtime for ads on our app as we do if you were watching us on your TV. You’ll never have to watch more than three minutes of ads at a time, but it’s usually less than that! ### 5/5 — Excellent Information *2019-06-05, version 2.17.0* These programs contained on the channel is so vital to understanding who we are and whom we have become. The barbarism as well as the goodness of mankind is shown. Technology that has made us safer as well as made warfare more destructive perhaps in the hope that another world war will happen. Excellent programming in my opinion. ### 4/5 — Love AHC, needs subscription option *2019-04-27, version 2.17.0* Please consider a stand-alone subscription option 🙏🏻. I’m not going to buy a cable bundle just for AHC, but I would absolutely pay to unlock all content in this app. Until then thanks for having some free episodes. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your feedback! At this time, we don’t offer a paid subscription service. We’re constantly evaluating how to get the most content out to our fans, so stay tuned for updates. ### 5/5 — Excellent information! *2019-04-26, version 2.17.0* What I learned while watching multiple shows on your app, is that, holy crap, people are atrocious! There were SO MANY shows indicating how multiple nations have even been ENDLAVED. Like the Jewish people, who are STILL being persecuted. Thank you for your wide range of information. You really made me think outside my own space. 😉❤️ ### 4/5 — Epic *2019-02-01, version 2.15.1* I like it but I don’t like having to pay a subscription to unlock everything. Just have everything already unlocked and only lock stuff out if this channel is not in your channel package on your tv **Developer response:** Right now, the only way to access all of our content is by subscribing to a provider we partner with. If you don’t have a cable/satellite subscription, or if your provider isn’t our partner, check the “Unlocked Episodes” section of our app to see free content. ### 5/5 — AHC *2018-12-08, version 2.14.0* I stumbled upon this channel by accident (don’t watch TV much). But as someone who loves WWII, this channel and app is fantastic. Anything that strives to respect the men and women of our armed forces and tell their story, I’ll give 5 stars. It would be great if there was a way to download episodes for viewing when mobile device is in airplane mode or out of cell service. ### 5/5 — AHC on the go *2018-09-13, version 2.13.0* Excellent stories and back ground information. ### 5/5 — Great history app *2018-07-26, version 2.13.0* Love watching history docs. Great app to app for you documentary buffs ### 5/5 — AHC app *2018-06-09, version 2.12.0* My AHC app is probably my favorite app. I easily get lost in the various and massive content that is offered. ### 4/5 — Great shows *2018-04-01, version 2.11.0* Great shows and content, but the commercials are long and annoying. They’re not skip able. ### 4/5 — Ug, commercials *2018-03-10, version 2.11.0* I enjoy watching this on my schedule, pausing as need dictates. But ug, those commercials! The same ones in the same order every segment. **** ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer working with TV provider Directv *2022-10-30, version 8.11.1* This app use to work fine until the latest update. Now it’s signed me out and it will not recognize my TV provider Directv and because of that I cannot watch any shows period. Directv said it’s on the developers end and not their end. Also started noticing that shows use to be in this app are no longer available thru the app and you have to sign up & pay extra for discovery plus. This is happening with all the Discovery Channel & it’s networks. **Developer response:** Hi there! Our engineering team would love an opportunity to diagnose the app on your device and troubleshoot a solution for you. Please visit gohelp.discovery.com and submit a help request using our 'Contact Us' link. We'll be happy to help! ### 1/5 — What is up? *2020-11-13, version 7.6.9* 11/13 and tried to watch AHC online. It gave me a message that said anyone who watches through their paid tv service cannot watch. What’s that about? I watch it through Directv and have never had an issue. ### 1/5 — Still Broken on DISH Network *2019-12-18, version 7.6.0* I've sent in but reports. I pay for AHC with DISH Network. And yet despite it saying I'm signed in, content still says I'm unauthorized because I'm not a subscriber with my Pay TV service provider. ### 1/5 — Oprah? Really? *2019-03-17, version 2.16.0* Lost me as a viewer. Deleted the app and blocked the channel on cable. ### 1/5 — Can't log in to cable provider *2019-02-17, version 2.15.1* For we'll over a week, I've been unable to log in to my cable provider. When I try to, I get the spinning circle as if it's loading but it never brings up the login screen. I'd be happy to change the rating to 5 stars when it's fixed finally. ### 1/5 — AHC app *2019-01-22, version 2.15.1* This app do not open when you tab on the AHC icon. I once deleted the app and reinstalled it and it worked one time. Now nothing ### 1/5 — Can’t Login! *2018-06-17, version 2.12.0* I haven’t been able to login in a week or two. It shouldn’t take that long to fix the issue. I gave it 1 Star bc I cant login, once the login issue is fixed AHC GO will go right back to 5 stars. This app and channel is 5 stars all day long. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Way too many commercials *2018-06-13, version 2.12.0* Sorry 8 commercials per break is absolutely crazy. Not sitting through that. AHC/Discovery, you guys are greedy. You lost me. ### 1/5 — I love the AHC channel *2017-11-01, version 2.9.0* Unfortunately I can't use the app because they don't have signed an option for Verizon FiOS. Really? :( ### 1/5 — Love the channel. HATE THE APP!! *2017-06-26, version 2.0.5* This app would be wonderful except for one thing. The live streaming is awful!!! It does not matter the quality of my connection. Wifi or LTE. Even at home where I get over 100Mbps and no one else is using the connection the live stream just freezes over and over. Then I need to back out and go back the live stream only for it to happen 5 seconds later. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ahc *2022-08-15, version 8.5.0* Awesome channel ### 5/5 — Like the shows *2022-05-24, version 8.2.0* Like the shows **Developer response:** We appreciate your amazing review!
