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 👍🏼

We appreciate your review and feedback. We're so glad you enjoy the content; we'll keep bringing it! We're always working to improve the app. If you have specific feedback about playback issues, we'd love to hear from you at connect@magellantv.com.
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

Love!!
Everything you want to know about the world we lived in then, the world we live in now, and the world to come. Just so much better than all of the other viewing apps. Affordable too!!
good content, poor app
the app bugs out a lot & will play multiple audio tracks at once if you accidentally double click a video. it also logs you out in between viewing on the app sometimes. The app is difficult to navigate sometimes & the appleTV app is awful & the text is so small you can barely read it. the content on the app is good and interesting though.

Lots of New Content and Great Support
I started at 2 stars, the 4, and then 5. Now I’m back to 4. The programming is great, but the app is unreliable, and frustrating. It got hung up again, so I couldn’t scroll through programs. I finally was able to start one, only to have it stop, and tell me I needed to create an account. Last night I deleted the app (I’ve done this before) and reinstalled, signed back in, and was able to watch a great documentary.

Terrible app
Content is somehow cool. App is terrible. Most titles can’t be played. Keeps logging me out.
Downloads don’t work when offline
Downloaded content is for people who are planning to be out of signal. When I’m offline, why do you ask me to login (it’s obviously not gonna work) and not show me my downloaded content? It seems to defeat the purpose
Please add
User profiles. So that if you have more than one person in your household they can have their own profile watchlist etc.
Love the content. Hate the app.
Please, please fix this app for AppleTV. It’s one of my favorites, but I have to delete and reinstall the app at least once a week. It just gets stuck loading constantly.
Good content, terrible app
There is a lot of good content available for those who enjoy documentaries. However, navigating the app is not a good experience. The best way to do it is outside of the app, such as in a web browser, then add the content to your list so you can see it in the app. There is a playlist option which does a good job of curating the content, but sometimes content is in unexpected places and I’m not sure if I’m seeing everything. The genres category is where the problems begin, because the thumbnails are for some reason sized smaller than the actual thumbnail image, and there are no titles. The images are cropped and often where the title would be, so all you can see is a picture but with no idea what the content is. In all cases, if you tap on one of these thumbnails, you’re presented with a tiny box with ridiculously tiny text for the description. The only way to close the box is to tap on the tiny little X button. Tapping somewhere outside of the box does not close it, a behavior that has become common. Overall, the app leaves a lot to be desired and I can only give it any stars for the content.

Thank you for giving us this detailed description. This doesn't sound like the way the app is designed. Please contact us at connect@magellantv.com. We want to work with you directly to troubleshoot.
Bad
Nothing ever loads on the title screens and options are a little boring in my opinion
Ok app
I like the crime and history shows, I do not like the fact that you can’t manually delete what you’ve downloaded without other videos being randomly deleted. Also your spot is not saved if you click off the video you have been watching.

Need to log out then in
App tries to auto login causing blank screen
Broken App
The app displays a blank white screen and fails to load when I enter it. Please fix this issue.
Doesn’t work anymore
Used to love this app, it had tons of great content to watch spanning great topics. But the app stopped working, I can’t view any content on any device, just white squares and loading wheels.
App no longer works on iPhone
Can’t find anything with search, won’t display anything.
