User Reviews

Users praise the app for educational science content and a consolidated channel lineup, with some free viewing options and quick support. However, multiple reviews highlight recurring problems: provider authentication/activation failures, casting and Apple TV/Chromecast compatibility issues, heavy ad interruptions, frequent instability and startup crashes, and licensing-driven content access limits. These recurring issues across devices significantly impact the overall experience, even among long-time fans.

Pros

Free content options and occasional access without a subscription.
High-quality, educational science programming.
Channels are consolidated into one app, simplifying viewing.
Responsive developer support that addresses complaints quickly.
Overall appreciation for the science content and educational value.

Cons

Provider authentication/activation issues (affiliate not found, network/in package errors).
Apple TV and Chromecast casting and device compatibility problems.
Ads are long, repetitive, and interrupt viewing.
App instability: frequent freezes, crashes, and load/startup failures.
Content licensing changes and access restrictions that block previously available shows.

Recent reviews

Doesn’t operate at all. Downloaded to Apple TV device, linked to subscriber no problem, app loads but no maneuvering inside app. App works in Roku, just not with Apple TV and that’s what I use.

Who Doesn't Want Free Content Included!

I’d pay to have ad free but the ads are ridiculous. if i watch a program 1/4 of the way. i go 2 another device and watch some more, with more ads, go back to watch on the original device (the one where i watched a 1/4) and it starts at the 1/4 mark making watch all the same repeating ads. than this new update added some changes to fast forward and rewind. you hit ff or rew and it just sits there. i beta rest many apps and guess they don’t beta before releasing.
