PBS

Videos don't play at all. After a brief "Buffering" message, entire screen goes blank and ...nothing. Ads play just fine, though. Don't bother with this useless app. Would give it zero stars if I could.

Doesn't work. Wastes my time.

The programs offered are great. And almost every title I look for is available. I see more titles added all the time. But the problems I encounter are; the status bar format interferes with navigation, the status (battery, time, etc..) is black, the background is also black which makes it invisible, the back button doesn't work which forces you to restart the app every time you want to go back and the status bar is visible during a video. Those are just the problems I have seen so far. I am a contributor to my local PBS station (KNME) and will continue to contribute but I hope to see improvement in this application soon. Thank you.

No way to sign out

The PBS iPhone app is one of the worst & most useless I have ever encountered. Today at 10 am local time it refused to open up and show the day's programming. Many times at 6-7 am local time it also does the same. Tap on any particular ahow and the app only gives you a brief history of the series, such as NOVA, American Experience, or Nature. Forget trying to find out more information on a program such as Independent Lens. Over the last few years I have had repeated problems with the PBS app. Program listings are frequentky wrong and there remains the ever present and ever annoying Buy/Donate to PBS ticker at the bottom on a small iPhone screen if you are unfortinate to ever touch it, you're immediately sent to another screen asking for PBS donations. Extremely annoying. After numerous complaints PBS has yet to fix this. I have to assume they just don't care. This app is NOT recommended unless you're a masochist at heart. Out of 5, I rate it 0 stars.

That is all

Won't play video on smart phone. Not compatible with Chromecast.

Works fine on my iPhone 5. The videos play smoothly and look very sharp and clear!
