Heaven forbid I pause
Why in 2026 can I not pause in the middle of an episode of Downton Abbey and have the app save my spot? I can live with the repetitive ads, but the least you can do for making me sit through them over and over again is let me stop and start without having to scroll through and find where I left off.

Horrible app
Subscriptions are horrible on this app. Won’t let you sign up. Whoever designed the mechanics of the sign service apparently has never used the internet before. They also want to text you three times a month. To send spam is the reason why. Not to tell you about their app. Total BS. Disgusting.
Professor T
Season 5 episodes 3- the rest have only music. No dialogue can be heard.
Nature Jaguar Beach
Well documented w amazing photography!!!!
No donation no service
$60/year to access their content.
Love pbs. App is awful
Problems connecting, then loading content. The tv is the same. The app is just so buggy that it’s hard to watch.
Doesn’t work
Couldn’t get app to work at all
SO EDUCATIONAL!
What a treat to have brilliant masters, scholars, scientist, and scholars at my finger tips. Priceless!
Go back to original logo
Please bring back the previous, more neutral logo colors. I understand the appeal of red, white, and blue as a nod to American patriotism, but given that Congress recently cut federal funding for PBS, the color choice now feels tone-deaf, almost like celebrating an identity the government just abandoned. A neutral palette would better reflect PBS’s independence and its role as a trusted, non-partisan public resource, especially at a moment when that reputation matters more than ever.

Enough with the “Messages”!!!!
I LOVE PBS!!!
I love all the amazing content on this app and access to it for my donation!!!
But, PLEASE stop beating me over the head with the shows you want me to watch on every single video!!!! If I’m in the middle of a video and accidentally exit, I STILL have to watch an advertisement…switching between multiple 2-5 minute mini episodes (as a lot of content on here is…) and it’s an ad before each one!! Not a brief 10 second ad, either…usually 30-45 seconds…and often the same exact one over and over and over!!!
It’s literally worse than for profit TV apps!!!
I will continue to love PBS.
I will continue to give to PBS.
But the ads…I’m going to lose my mind, possibly.
Please fix this! 🙏

There was a problem connecting
Every time I tap to watch the latest Newshour episode. Wish it was a rare occurrence.
Great!
Easy to find the information you are searching. Easy to access programing. Thank you PBS!
FIXED—- Crashes trying to open
I had to delete the app on my iPad and then download it again. Now it works!
5 Stars
Great programming and easy to stream!
Nova Season 53 bad
Latest season of Nova was not good. The substitute for news hour weekend is awful. This app and my subscription get less valuable every season.
Good content unfortunately stopped streaming main channel
This app was superb and in many ways still is for streaming passport content and viewing PBS substations. Several weeks ago, the app stopped streaming the main PBS station in my area KERA) on all platforms (AppleTV, iPad, website, etc). Trying to get support or to inform PBS of the problem is a throwback to stone age support. I know the station is not off the air since I can view it on my antenna. Also did all the troubleshooting including deleting and reinstalling the app. Since the problem is on multiple platforms, it must be related to PBS streaming service itself.
