| 2024-12-26 |  | | Whatever got changed a few weeks ago has caused the app not to load episodes. I'm at season 5 of the curse of oak island have had no problems but now half the time it tells me this video is not available at this time. Sometimes I can close the app & reopen & then it will play no problem. Other times I have to wait a few hours. No other show seems to have this problem. Have tried on different devices, different internet, uninstalling & reinstalling doesn't change anything. Please fix it!! |
| 2024-12-11 |  | | 100% garbage app. No matter how you install it, no matter what I do, if I attempt to search for something it doesn't work. It's blank. Nothing fixes it absolutely nothing!!! Now go ahead Dev's write me the stupid message with a link on how to fix it which doesn't work. This app is just garbage. Brand new TV. Everything is up to date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the history. I've cleared the cache. I've done everything. 100% garbage. |
| 2024-11-15 |  | | I came here because stupid a** Xfinity won't allow certain shows (specifically Skinwalker Ranch) to play ON DEMAND anymore. It's so dumb! So here I am... However after reading many of the reviews I've just decided to not even bother downloading it. I like to rewatch entire seasons of shows, sometimes just in the background while cleaning or taking care of plants etc... I hate commercials but the on demand ones weren't too bad. This app sounds awful... |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | Look i really, really love that you even have this app and I'm a huge history channel fan, I wanna raise this rating but seriously I have reached out to your support and I cannot belive it has gotten worse!! I don't get how the ads stream perfectly but the show itself is glitching out like an old record!! And the after the reset you have to watch 3 commercials again (which again are perfectly fine) and then glitches out again!! Please history PLEASE!! acknowledge this and fix it PLEASE!😫 |
| 2024-08-14 |  | | Commercials are ridiculous. The time they try and force you to watch ads is just not worth it. I'll wait for shows I want to watch to stream somewhere else. Trying to watch Alone and it's unbeatable with the ads. Even with a cable login. I'll wait an entire year for it to come on to Netflix before I sit through the amount commercials they try and shove down my throat. |
| 2024-07-24 |  | | Great channel app, but way too many ads. I gets kind of annoying having to keep tapping the screen to select between the choice of two different add settings every five minutes. 30 second interactive(which I don't suggest), and 3 minutes worth of ads. After all said and done, you still have to keep tapping your screen just to hit play. I don't mind watching a few ads like other apps have, but it gets annoying as heck to have to keep tapping your screen every five minutes just to watch a show. |
| 2024-07-10 |  | | Love History Channel, hate app. After the last update it is very glitchy. After each commercial it stops and I have to start it again. This morning tried to watch Skinwalker Ranch (it's Wednesday so should be able to view) and I'm getting an error message saying this episode isn't available at this time, try again later. BS I already have to wait until the next day, and now it's not available! The amount and the redundancy of the ads are ridiculous! The same ad plays over and over again |
| 2024-06-21 |  | | It's a great app but way too many commercials. A one hour program is actually 45 minutes long or perhaps a little shorter with the rest of the time being commercials. These commercials are more repetitive and inane with the same commercial or commercials every 3 to 5 minutes often for 4 minutes or more. More of advertisements for companies not to do business with. |
| 2024-06-21 |  | | The app let me stream Alone..the entire show but every time I would go to check and see how much show was left it would shut my phone down. like power it off!! so strange and odd. I finished the show and deleted the app off my phone. It was almost like a corrupted file the first time it happened bc it asked if I wanted to factory reset my phone. Thank goodness we have the history channel on our TV. |
| 2024-06-15 |  | | Every time I stream a show and use Chromecast to show on my TV, the video and sound sync gets off after a few minutes and just gets worse as time goes on. It's been this way at least the last 3 seasons of Alone I've watched and you'd think this sort of thing would've been corrected by now. Every other streaming service I've never had this issue. |
