User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise Thirteen Explore for its broad, educational PBS content and the value of PBS Passport, with Channel 13’s trusted broadcasting. The most recurring drawbacks are login/authentication problems, app performance issues (notably on Firestick), the lack of resume/continue watching, navigation challenges, and inconsistent content availability or listing changes.

Pros

Rich, diverse PBS programming with strong educational value (nature, British series, documentaries).
PBS Passport membership adds extended access and value for members.
Channel 13 branding and trusted, high-quality broadcasting that longtime PBS fans appreciate.
Broad content variety that keeps viewers engaged and often finding something to watch.

Cons

Login/authentication issues, including Apple sign-in failures and repeated sign-in prompts.
App performance and reliability problems, especially slow or broken behavior on Firestick.
Lack of resume/continue watching, making it hard to pick up where you left off.
Clunky usability and difficult content discovery/navigation.
Content availability inconsistencies and changes to listings (missing titles, previews-only access, delayed availability).

I’ve never had such a terrible sign-up, renew, payment experience. And asking people to call your 800 number (during bankers hours only) to solve a problem every other business solved online in 2010 is terrible also. They took my subscription money twice, giving me an errors each time, but the charges are on my card, yet I’m still not subscribed. Bang up job PBS New York.
