User Reviews

Users appreciate that the Cascade PBS News app provides access to a wide range of PBS shows, including classics and new content, and is especially valued in Canada. The app has a generally good layout and navigation, and users enjoy the content enough to donate. However, many report significant issues with video playback errors and crashes, poor search accessibility, lack of resume playback functionality, limited Chromecast support, and restricted content availability. These recurring problems cause frustration and hinder a smooth viewing experience.

Recent reviews

App doesn't save where you left off viewing. Major flaw. Show listening are poorly organized. Much of the interface is counter-intuitive. Search function should be easily accessible on ALL pages.
