Terrible amateur app

I’ve never had such a terrible sign-up, renew, payment experience. And asking people to call your 800 number (during bankers hours only) to solve a problem every other business solved online in 2010 is terrible also. They took my subscription money twice, giving me an errors each time, but the charges are on my card, yet I’m still not subscribed. Bang up job PBS New York.

The Best

I could cancel all the apps and just watch everything on PBS. I’m a passport member. Best channel!

All Creatures

We so look forward to All Creatures Great and Small. The rest of the world stops on Sunday night while we tune in to All Creatures.

Sign In Error

Can't sign in with Apple using the app. I get a blank pop-up screen and that's it. Have no trouble signing in using a browser.

Thirteen is Definitely a Lucky Number

As a PBS MEMBER/SUPPORTER for more years than I can remember. . . at age 80+, I can safely say, “You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!”.
My current copy of THIRTEEN Vol33, Issue 1/January 2024 is Testament to that Longevity.

Horrible

I made an account to watch Finding your roots. I have been to watch only one episode ever since. It keeps asking me to login again and again. When I get to click “play” it cancels and the app shuts down. I always been a fan of Channel 13 but this is ridiculous. I have wasted some time just to login.

App not reliable nor ADA compatible

If you want to cast to your television (and you probably will) you can’t use the closed captioning feature. I can only view foreign language content which comes with captions preloaded. Also you can’t continuously watch episodes without popping in and out of the app.

Thirteen has the ability to include all souls and all regions with its eclectic array of programming. All those who take part should support its causes. Should take my own advice.

Can’t play anything I just get kicked out

Worthless.

The only place for Shows with substance

I have been watching PBS for many years.
It’s has all the British shows,nature programs as well as others.
I have been watching more especially during covid.
Keep it up

Review

I’m a member but can’t access

Impossible to use on Firestick

The app is either slow or broken on Firestick. Each time we must go through a big procedure. NOT HAPPY. May not renew my membership next year.

I love PBS passport.

I love PBS passport but I wish they had the original All Creature Great and Small. The new series is okay but I prefer the one from the 70s and 80s. I really enjoy Call the Midwife.

Website

It’s very difficult to find what you what to watch. I’m a member but this website isn’t user friendly.
To make matters worse I cannot even submit this comment.

The Hollow Crown

I can only retrieve the previews of Richard II.
I would love to know if/when that series will be available for viewing/streaming.
I hope that you will be able to respond to my concern.

Variety

I love the amount of variety, education provided
I always find something good to watch
