Needs improvement.
Content is awesome, but navigating in the app is cumbersome and I often have to restart it in order to progress on to the next episode of whatever show I’m watching.
Ideas
I enjoy Sunday night shows on PBS especially Miss Scarlet and the Duke. She needs to wake up and grab that handsome man the Duke. But I’ve enjoyed all the shows and specials . It would be good if the interludes between Downton Abbey were shorter or more varied . The Nature and Nova are great as well as the travel shows. Thank you for all the entertainment.

Good but missing 56.5
Missing 56.5 updates
Response from developer
56.5, the Michigan Learning Channel is now available through the App! Watch the livestream, view the schedule and lesson content on-demand now.
Doesnt work.
Its never worked for me. I pick an episode, the screen goes black, I have to restart the app. Thats about as far as Ive ever got with it. Would love to get this part of the membership benefits that I pay for!!
Amazing APP
It seems like watching specific programs at specific times has given way to on demand viewing. This is extraordinary for DPTV. So much to watch, so little time.
Thanks. This app fixes that!

Disappointing...
If this app was castable to my TV it might be useful.
Can’t watch content in Canada
Despite the app being on the Canadian App Store, you cannot watch content unless you are in the US or have an American IP address via a VPN.
I would assume 98% of people who download the PBS are wanting to watch the content PBS provides but alas, Canada is (yet again) cut out from content. This is unless you’re willing to go through extreme lengths (VPN etc.) to watch it.
I would happily pay PBS to watch its content library in Canada, but they really just don’t seem interested in the Canadian market. This is why I rate this app so low. It doesn’t really do much.

Disappointing if you want to watch online
I suppose this app is okay if all you want is to know the TV schedule. The problem with this app is that you cannot easily see what programs are free to watch online and which are subscription-based. It is frustrating to have to work through the system, find a program you’d like to see and then be told you need to subscribe to watch that particular program.

Good content
Glad to see you can watch shows like call the midwife.
Useless
This doesn’t work at all. I didn’t touch the “donate” button which might have been the only one they cared about. Pure garbage.
It’s ok - no bugs but no live streaming
The works well and is free of bugs. I just wish dPTV would broadcast live over the internet full time in real time.
Great Find in apps
Discovered this app and am totally enjoying it.
So much content.. videos, information, entertainment.. I recommend this to anyone who wants to broaden their entertainment experience. Only negative is some video glitches. Otherwise great!

All available Nature documentaries
I thoroughly enjoy all of the Nature programs available to me. Thank you PBS.
This is a wonderful app.
I live in Australia, and use this app to catch up on episodes of the PBS Newshour!!!
Hazard to navigation
Shows are good. Navigation is beastly.
PBS
PBS is outstanding. Always great content.
Poor
I can not watch what's on now i only downloaded this to watch what was on and you CAN NOT
Going downhill
This app used to be okay but now it's annoying. Besides flakey video playback (sound with a blank screen more common these days), I don't understand why they removed all old episodes of shows like This Old House. Trying to find a show is not easy either. Overall, a very terrible app experience.
Great
Love the selection great to have one of my favorites too
Really quick to check the schedule
What a great tool to look up the broadcast schedule -- this is really convenient on iOS. Some of the graphics icons could be better populated but this is so much better than searching through web pages.
