My Favorite App!

History Channel is absolutely, without question, my favorite app! It has something of interest for everyone, and I could watch it and its variety of shows all day long. Great work, History Channel - at 73 years old I never ever want to stop learning new things! Knowledge is the one thing we can take with us.

Won’t load

App won’t load. It just keeps spinning. It’d be a great app if you could get into it.

Unable to login to TV Provider

This app worked fine until recently. It no longer allows me to connect to Spectrum. It just displays the circular wait screen forever after trying to login.

Fix tv provider sign in

Can’t log in tv provider. Stuck on either loading screen or blank white screen. Tried reinstalling app and nothing.

The worst app experience - possible

If you like watching the little thingy spin and spin and spin and never open the show you want to watch then this is perfect. I’ve tried to watch ancient aliens - all from this season - starting with the latest and trying 3 fodders episodes the past 5 nights - and nothing!! It doesn’t work! This is by far the single worst entertainment app in history! App developers you are heinous piles of human excrement -

Won’t play

Logged in and click on a show but it just spins and spins. Tried 2 different devices and 2 different WiFi connections.

ALONE IS A ONE OF KIND…

Thanks for this show HISTORY CHANNEL..

So much to learn, so little time.

I found the channel a few years ago on cable and have followed it ever since both streaming and on other devices. I've followed Oak Island since day one when I stumbled across it. Yes, much of what is presented may be construed as conjecture, but all of it encourages discussion and further study. Thank you for all of your programming.

History App

What a awesome & fantastic learning experience thankyou for all of the wonderful work

Ads are annoying

I get they need to run ads, but that West Virginia add makes me less likely that I already was to ever travel there. Good app otherwise.

Great content

Love shows BUT I’m getting adds every 10 minutes which is getting annoying and there’s no add free option please fix 😵‍💫‼️🇺🇸

Ads mess up

Every time one of the many ads comes on it creates a massive lag in the audio from the visuals. It’s awful and makes shows unwatchable. Also, there are way too many ads.

So disappointing. The app developers really bungled this one.

Too Many, Repetitive Commericals

I cannot watch another episode of ANYTHING on the HISTORY Channel! Every ten minutes of a very good show, it breaks to the same eight or nine commercials that go on for three to four minutes each. I am very disappointed because the show content is good but, the frequent and repetitive commercials ruin what, would be, a wonderful experience.

ALONE

I never miss a season or an episode. Educational, exciting and I make a silent bet with myself who will win the season.

The worst ad filled app I’ve ever experienced!!!

Joe

Great shows, poor app

Simple things with the app are poorly done. For example, the ad breaks don’t align with the times in the program where there were commercial breaks when broadcast on TV, resulting in ads that cut off dialogue mid-word. Then after watching the ad and rewinding to hear the word, the ad cuts off the same word and plays again. Another example is the audio of the program will go silent while the video keeps playing 1-2 seconds before the ad starts. For multi-episode series, the pop-up banner to skip to the next episode appears way too soon, blocking the screen while the show is still playing. The app creators should use the Netflix app to see how it’s done right.

Ads

Content and shows great. Unbearable to watch with the amount of ads and repetition of the same ones over and over. They need to at least offer an option to pay for a monthly subscription for no ads.

You should have YouTube as a provider

I wish YouTube was listed as a provider. Also too many commercials and you need to unlock the shows.

To any interactive adds the stupidest adds

Now to many adds you have distorted the experience why should we pay for dam adds

Alone; oak island; skinwalker, swamp people

I really enjoy many series but I am so sick of the commercials, the quantity and repetitive. There must be a better way
