User reviews

App won’t load

This app is so flaky iOS and TVos used to be the most stable now it just claims network error or app is unavailable

Alone

I hate that you can’t watch Alone on the app anymore without paying.

History channel

Love everything it has to offer, but I hate commercials how to get rid of them

Free Alone

Love Alone, love the free streaming, commercials are meh

Love the channel. Hate the app.

I really enjoy most of the shows on the history channel, but using their stupid app is really frustrating. It constantly asks you for signing into your TV provider every other month or you get locked out of half the shows. No other app does this! I’ve mentioned this before to them as well as other issues, but no one ever seems to be able to fix it. Whoever their lead programmer is is an idiot.
