Awesome app

I love my Magellan app! It’s able to entertain me for hours … I really joy the variety of the content and also the quality of their productions. A streaming app primarily dedicated to documentary, educational-type content is totally my scene. I’m not a huge fan of all the formulaic reality/drama/action/comedy that gets spat out at volume on the big streamers.

Although the app itself can be a little buggy at times and the app design isn’t maybe as ‘modern’ as the big name streamers, it’s perfectly functional and easy to use and honestly, I definitely prefer to support a platform that is more keen to invest in the creators of the content rather than having some flashy, constantly changing, sleek user interface 👍🏼

Over charged

It say .99 per per month I was charged $25.07 to start up. That is devotion and theft! Do not buy this thing it’s ridiculous. They overcharge you from the get-go.

Junk

Will not play entire episode. Doesn’t matter what show it is. It freezes and doesn’t start playing again!

False advertising

In-app advertises $4.99 subscriptions (have a screenshot), but the cheapest offered price on subscription is $5.99

Flakey

I have a year subscription as i got a good deal. The documentaries are very good, especially as there are no adds. The main issue though is, the app is really flakey and I regularly have to delete and reinstall it to be able to view any documentary. I will persist for now, but unless the app improves, I won’t renew my subscription
