Incredible!

I just discovered this app and knew immediately that I needed to install it on my Apple Device’s Home Screen! What a treasure trove of well crafted docs! While others have opted for the free version, I went with the $4.99/month paid subscription in order to unlock even more content from this incredible app! If you’re looking for a catalog of some of the best documentaries available, look no further than Documentary +!

Best Doc App by far

This app rocks! 100% worth it

Best docs

Has the best docs out there

USELESS

I download it, watch 3 ads for over 2 minutes, then the documentary just freezes black. I start 2 more times and same thing happens. Just watched 6 minutes of ads for no reason. Deleted.

Needs Bugfixes

Cool documentaries and willing to watch 5mins ads for, but buggy as heck. Just restarted the same documentary 5 times, watching 10+mins of advertising to try to get the X in the top left corner and one in the middle of the screen to disappear, and then when finally it went away the video enexplicably stopped again after I adjusted the brightness on my phone. Now having to repeat the process of restarting the same documentary and trying to get rid of the X to no avail, so came here to write a review so that this is fixed.

Useless

Pointless

waste of time

No sound!!!

Hi

I can’t get any audio at all.

This is a soft 4 star rating, because I believe it has potential.

Pros: I have throughly enjoyed this app and the shows it has to offer. I don’t even mind the fact that there are mandatory commercials, especially because this is a completely free app. Thank you.

Cons: I do not like that it is the same 3 commercials over and over again, anytime you do anything. Please add a variety of commercials, I will gladly watch them! Additionally, there are no preview trailers available, and you cannot resume a show if you exit.

I would watch a show from the beginning every time… If I didn’t have to watch the same 3 commercials again! 🤣🤣🤣

Garbage

Cannot get this pos app to work. All it does is spit out a stupid 403 error or could not config. If this garbage app isn’t able to work on phones in Canada, maybe it should be pulled from the Canadian app store!!!

Absolute garbage. Use Veely instead, dont waste your time on this trash app.

Just Discovered!

Update: iPhone app is not working as well as the tv app… tried to write an email to the support address given in the app. But the email bounced back because the address couldn’t be found.
I think they went out of business!

—————————————————————

Seems like an app I would like to use. Problem is that it doesn’t work in my Apple TV. I’m running the latest tvOS. Looks like the tv app hasn’t been updated in awhile. Please update so it will work with the latest software for Apple TV. Thank you 🙏

Great variety of documentaries

Impressive amount of great quality, interesting and informative, free documentaries to watch. My only problem is there doesn’t seem to be any way to save films to a watchlist for viewing later. Very good app nonetheless.

not good right now

started with 4 minutes of ads and then went into some other moronic clip that was not what I asked for.

🤥🤥🤥

They say that it does not have ads, there are many, I do not recommend it.

NO SOUND! They want you to buy player subscription. Misleading.

No sound. You must buy subscription to the player in order to get sound on the documentaries. It is misleading that there’s no subscription, when actually there is. It’s a farce! I would not, I repeat, word not recommend this app to anyone, and I will be sure to spread the “great news“ all over social media

All of these five star reviews are FAKE! Do not believe any review higher than 1 star

All of these five star reviews are FAKE! Do not believe any review that rates this app more than 1 star as the developers are the ones whom gave their own app these high ratings/purchased these fake reviews!

This app is garbage, all of the videos on this trash app are available for *FREE* on literally EVERY streaming site, including YouTube. This app literally stole the free videos from YouTube and hot-linked them for their app interface (they’re *STEALING* YouTube’s and other streaming sites bandwidth and content) Then they have the audacity to bombard you with ads every 3 minutes!

I strongly advise everyone to delete this app after leaving their honest 1 star review and I hope Apple along with Google/YouTube & other effected providers take legal action against these thieving developers. Apple please blacklist these thieving Chinese con-artists!

Great Content but So Dysfunctional

I wish this app wasn’t such a struggle to make work, because the content is so great. Videos go black nearly every time. Constant restarting to try to make them not black, constant reversion to black. Frustrating.

Great!

I’m a big fan of it. Who can say no to free documentaries? Also, they’re actually good documentaries. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because the lack of Chromecast or Airplay support. With that support it would be perfect.

Free? Top quality? Bingo!

This app doesn’t even want my email address, let alone my money, to watch a diverse collection of well-made nonfiction. That’s worth five stars right there.

It helps that the clean, minimalist interface is easy to navigate. There aren’t any bells or whistles, but I don’t miss them. Who needs a watchlist when you want to watch half the library?

Many theaters that would have screened these films won’t reopen post-COVID and many streaming services bury these films behind bloated catalogs and messy menus. This app arrived in the right places at the right time.

Love this app

Great for watching documentaries on the go. Awesome selection of premium documentary films.
