User Reviews

Users like History Vault for its rich, nostalgic history library and value, but cite licensing gaps, a clunky UI, playback instability, sign-in problems, and casting/PiP issues as widespread drawbacks. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong content and potential marred by access, reliability, and navigation challenges.
Pros
  • Rich catalog of history programming including nostalgic titles
  • High-quality, informative content for history enthusiasts
  • Reasonable pricing and perceived good value for money
  • Ongoing updates and additions of major historical series
  • App is valued by history fans and considered a must-have by some
Cons
  • Content availability is limited and gated by licensing; many episodes/shows aren accessible in-app and some require external services
  • Clunky UI/UX and difficult navigation with a weak search and hidden episode lists
  • Playback instability including crashes, stuttering, and episodes starting at the wrong point
  • Sign-in and subscription issues such as inactive accounts and error messages during login
  • Casting/Chromecast support issues and missing PiP functionality, with features being inconsistent or removed

Can’t get past choosing type of subscription

If you’re interested in subscribing to History Vault, DO NOT subscribe using Apple because the majority of the shows available don’t have access to the first few episodes. A few examples: If you’re wanting to watch ‘The Color of War’ you’ll need a subscription through Amazon Prime to see the first three episodes, if you want to watch ‘Hunting Hitler’ the first episode isn’t available with a subscription through Apple, you’ll have to deal with commercials on Tubi to see that. if you’re interested in watching ‘Civil War Journal’ forget about watching the pilot episode.

I would love to see where we could have multiple profiles for the different members of the family so everyone can watch what they want without interfering with anyone else.
