Frustrated
I’m really disappointed with this app. It not only has a “lock out” feature that doesn’t allow me to see the shows I’M PAYING TO SEE, it also has an exceptional amount of commercials that it utilizes in its programs. I’m forced to watch this programming elsewhere. Which is upsetting for me because I’d like to support the History Channel!

TECHNICAL ISDUES ARE IGNORED WITH NO RESPONSE
I’m beginning to HATE this app at times! At least 1X a month episodes are locked.
When I tap my streaming service the app scrolls continuously on my new iPhone or goes to a white screen on my iPad 7 mini.
The only device I can sometimes unlock (60/40) is my old iPhone 15 Max.
I have sent photos, videos and numerous messages to their “technical support “ and never once have I received a reply. This is after 20+ attempts of politely asking for assistance. It’s like a black hole lives there…
They need to address this issue immediately!
Maybe by getting the public involved will help
I’m planning on posting this on multiple public forums as well since I’m fed up about their inaction about an issue on their end. I went so far as checking with my streaming service and they told me there were multiple complaints about the same problem, however, it stems from the History Channel’s systems software.

Hello - Please make sure you have updated to the latest version of the app, which is 11.1.2. If you continue to have any trouble, reach out to us directly at help@history.com. We are available by email for direct assistance. Thank you.
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.

Garbage
Why so many problems?
Everything takes forever to load. Worst picture quality on any streaming app Ive experienced. Worst ad experience. No preview when navigating within an episode. Constant bugs before and after adverts. No auto skipping recaps and intros. Please help make the experience better
Interesting History
Excellent coverage of fascinating places, phenomena, and things. Very educational!
Annoying sign in
Kind of annoying that it keeps signing me out of my cable provider. And the last few times I try to sign in, the page to “unlock episodes” and sign into the provider won’t load. It’s just so much easier to A- have it stay logged in until I log out manually, or B- make sure the app works better. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Getting tiresome.

Suddenly won’t link to TV provider
I love the programming, but I can no longer use the App. I have been logged in forever in my Apple TV, and then about 4 days ago, the app said I didnt have access to certain programs until I scanned the QR code and logged in to Spectrum. Did that and still no dice. The iPad app locks up at the Tav provider page now.

Great content, garbage app
Signs out, can’t sign back in, just spins, get dead screens. Deleted app, reinstalled. Needs a re-do.
Great Content; App not so much.
More issues with this app. Constantly logs me out. Try to log back in but says my credentials aren’t working. Great content but fix the app.
I am learning so much!
I have been following History on cable when possible and streaming thru the app when cable is not available for years. I so enjoy learning history and science as presented. No, I don't agree with everything I see, but the information provides a different point of view that's refreshing and expands my knowledge and understanding. Thank you!

We appreciate you watching HISTORY. Thanks for your review!
Ads ads ads….
It’s a decent app, especially being free. But there’s LOTS of ads.
Why wwII too?
My 3 uncles fought & returned from the war. Their courage enthralled me to join up with the Army Signal Corp. in 1980. I figured the best way I could honor them & my country was to join up. Tom Hanks review of WWII clears up a lot of when & whys I never knew. Sure there’s always left out items , but the point is & I hope is conveyed to all who listen is during this war, dead numbers don’t lie. We wouldn’t be anything or as a free as we are today, if not for all the people who stood up against the evil of Japan & Hitler. Whatever side you might find yourself, you can’t be grateful enough to all the kids who came to say yes on one side & no, we want a choice on the other side. If you’re not humbled after reviewing Tom Hanks production, then you have no soul with the rest of mankind which said “NO!” This isn’t the Lord’s way or the way of compassion. Leadership isn’t given to anyone, it’s earned. Todays gov managed by republicans, should be embarrassed as well as humbled by what allowed them to run down every soul who doesn’t like tyranny. God help us all, it never happens again.

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.

Thank you so much! We're so glad to have you with us as a HISTORY watcher.
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 -
