I will be deleting this app it is of no use to me.How very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Awful,,,still useless *2016-11-19, version 3.7.49* Opens and immediately crashes! ### 1/5 — App is totally useless! *2016-01-29, version 3.7.8* I love MPT and the programming. But the app is totally useless. It crashes as soon as it opens. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2016-01-02, version 3.7.8* App won't open. Downloaded several times, but no success opening. When icon is selected, MPT logo screen opens and app immediately crashes. Deleted 5 minutes after install ### 2/5 — No better than it has to be *2024-10-24* Lame and squirrelly user interface. Font too small to read on an iPhone, can’t be enlarged or viewed in landscape format. No search function. Become a member so you get the print version. ### 2/5 — I pay to get the shows I love *2019-05-24, version 3.9.7* But I can’t get them in the order they were shown! Too hard to use. If all else fails I cast from my laptop - not my preference.

Seems like it was built by folks who learned app development before smartphones were invented. I'm not giving up but for now will look at the listings in the Sun or Post. ### 3/5 — OK *2019-10-19, version 3.9.7* Site is only ok. I’m happy to have it, but find it awkward to maneuver. ### 3/5 — Getting used to streaming and using MPT app *2018-10-14, version 3.9.7* I dropped cable tv and I'm learning to use MPT app and Passport, plus PBS Videos. It's not so easy to find my favorite shows. ### 4/5 — Really liking it *2019-05-31, version 3.9.7* I am really liking this app! It’s easy to use and the shows are fantastic! I love the Nova and Nature documentaries. If I miss them on the tv I can find them here for a couple weeks which is great. I wish there were more available that you didn’t need to pay for though. That is why I rated this app only 4 out of 5. Still it’s a really good app that is definately worth having. I love PBS they always have such quality programs on! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best $5 I’ve ever spent *2023-04-13, version 4.5.60* App is so user friendly! Watched while visiting in Chicago. Love being able to go back in previous episodes along with behind the scenes information about series. Absolutely wonderful. ### 5/5 — Saw an Onljne Ad and Git The App *2023-02-07, version 4.5.60* I was not aware of the app until I saw an online ad for it. Downloaded it and I’m happy that I did. I’ve enjoyed the Year of the Trail shows especially as I love backpacking. ### 5/5 — Love MPT *2023-01-14, version 4.5.60* Streaming on the app has been flawless. I much prefer this app vice PBS Passport. ### 5/5 — Great App - Excellent content! *2021-04-01, version 4.5.7* We love MPT! The app allows for us to cast our streams to our smart TVs and we get to enjoy them as a family. Great for road trips as we can download. The library is so full we always find something new. Our favorite show - Outdoors MD - has some great episodes available! One thing to maybe work on: when going to search past episodes, it just cycles and never brings up any new results. Aside from that: useful app that brings quality, free and educational programs to our family! ### 5/5 — MPT App Is Outstanding! *2020-09-30, version 4.4.67* I love this app because I can watch my favorite shows on my schedule as well as view shows in real time. I hope this becomes a model for all PBS stations! ### 5/5 — CD1943 *2019-06-25, version 3.9.7* A wonderful app with great programs. Support PBS and get the app and join Passport for awesome programs. ### 5/5 — Decent App *2018-02-05, version 3.8.40* Enjoy it, easy to navigate ### 4/5 — Love taking it along *2017-02-02, version 3.7.49* So far has been a great app. Enjoy being able to watch these great shows when I want. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
