Subscribe no unsubscribed

decent content with some great investigative documentary from corporations as well as independent ones that are doing there best to not be monopolised by big business so I appreciate that. My issue is with subscription mentality and the monetisation aspect of things I’ve spent a lot of coin on subscriptions but at some point wouldn’t you rather experience the world rather than viewing through someone else’s perspective?

Good content. Bad for Support

No access built into platform to contact support. This limits any real progression for the developer to understand what issues affect users’ & what they can do to improve the exposure of content. A shame considering what sacrifices & investment these documentaries required to exist.

Can’t access the content

It says it has a problem connecting and you can’t even access the content

When will you make this available?

Free trial is not free!

Be warned the free trial will charge you, so it’s not free at all and a scam. The app has a couple of good docos. A lot of propaganda. For instance the doco on trump, I couldn’t see anything about Biden or Harris or anyone else, so I wonder where the balance is.

World’s worst app

They may boast world’s best docs but the app is unusable, shuts down every time. It’s a shame because there looked to be some really interesting docs on their app.

Best value streaming platform

Actually worth the investment with quality docos

Glitches and crashes

I subscribed 3 months ago because I wanted to watch “Dig”. I’ve been trying since then to chrome cast it to the tv and I haven’t been successful. I’ve enjoyed other docs on the tv but for some reason I can’t get the one doc I really want to watch working. Today I tried again, I could stream it but it seems all that is available to watch is the trailer!
I give up 😩

Excellent

DocPlay is a complete winner in my opinion. The content is excellent and the service is efficient, clean and full of user centred design. Thanks DocPlay for expanding my mind.

App won't Open

Unable to open App on my iPhone SE
Please advise

Few Docos

I was hugely disappointed & not surprised. Few history Docos & the few they had ALL war. It’s become such a common practice wwi & wwii shouldn’t be included in history sections & should have their own. Not for the Doco buff

No chromecast

Chromecast never works with it. And when you try to find help you get none

Crashes on opening

I haven’t been able to test out this app as it crashes immediately on opening on my iPhone. Have reported it so hope for a fix soon

Thankful

I’m thankful for all the stories, the makers of these films bring to us. We get to witness our fellow humans expressing their gifts, their joy, their sorrows and their strength and love.
Also the magic of the natural world, the remote places we will never visit, the waves we will never surf but can marvel at them nonetheless. So inspiring.

Charged after cancelling subscription

I subscribed for a free trial but didn’t see any content I liked so cancelled the subscription, then got charged a monthly subscription fee. Beware of being charged even if you have cancelled your subscription.

Great content, bad app

Content freezes, episodes out of sync. Needs an update

Keeps crashing

The app keeps crashing. When I select a documentary to read the info it immediately crashes. Seems to be worse with series rather than one off programmes.

iPad app keeps crashing

Unable to use iPad app - continually crashes

Immediately crashes

Looks like there might be some good documentaries here but the app crashes immediately upon opening - reinstalling/restarting iPad has not altered the outcome. I am sure there arr other ways of accessing these documentaries.
