User Reviews

Users praise Detroit PBS for its wide, high-quality content and solid on-demand access across PBS stations and local DPTV. The catalog includes PBS favorites, Nature, Nova, and other programming, with easy discovery for what’s on. However, multiple reviews report usability and reliability problems: navigation is cumbersome, playback can fail (black screens, restarts), and occasional video glitches occur. A subset also notes no continuous live streaming and that some users cannot load or watch current programming. Overall, the content offering is strong, but navigation and stability issues hinder a consistently smooth experience.

Pros

Wide, high-quality PBS content including Nature, Nova, Downton Abbey-related programming, and local DPTV offerings.
Strong on-demand viewing with a large library and flexible watching options.
Efficient discovery across PBS stations, including fast access to what's on.
Access to beloved PBS favorites and robust local programming.

Cons

Navigation is cumbersome and hard to use.
Episodes may crash or the screen goes black, requiring restarting.
Occasional video playback glitches.
No continuous live streaming / limited live viewing.
Some users cannot load or watch current programming on launch.

Recent reviews

Content is awesome, but navigating in the app is cumbersome and I often have to restart it in order to progress on to the next episode of whatever show I’m watching.

I enjoy Sunday night shows on PBS especially Miss Scarlet and the Duke. She needs to wake up and grab that handsome man the Duke. But I’ve enjoyed all the shows and specials . It would be good if the interludes between Downton Abbey were shorter or more varied . The Nature and Nova are great as well as the travel shows. Thank you for all the entertainment.
