User reviews

Greedy ad machine

You watch the interactive ad and you still have to watch 20 minutes in other ads. History channel has enough money, just show the program. Now I won’t watch your channel or app.

I love History

I have always been fascinated with how we got to this point in human history and what’s possible for the future. HISTORY gives it all to me. I love the convenience of being able to watch my favorite series anywhere and anytime. Thank you for feeding my fascination.

Doesnt work

Ridiculous none of the videos load and i know its not me because i have tried multiple tvs, phones and wifi networks and it does the same thing every time i try to watch something. Deleting unless this isnt fixed

Great content. Worst app ever.

I love all the content on the history channel, but man, do they make it hard for you to watch it. Their iOS app for the phone and the TV are both horrendous.

Unlocking shows

I cannot unlock my episodes on the shows I like. I’ve tried contacting through the contact button but, other than an email saying the message, I’ve gotten no help. If this can be resolved I’d give the History app 5 stars. But, since I cannot watch anything it gets 0 stars. I do have a tv provider and this has started very recently, like since the app update.

UPDATE: after a couple of weeks of communication with the app developers, I was finally sent another app update and this problem is now resolved. I love the app but I have to be able to see all episodes to continue enjoying it. Thank you.
