My only positive thing to say here is that I can watch Oak Island. Outside of that this app is really bad. Freezing, crashing, runtime errors, sloppy UI. The worst offender is the ads. I understand that need to be there but they're every 5 minutes. It's ridiculous. And to make it worse, half the time when the ads finish the app bugs out and restarts them, when that happens you end up watching 6 minutes of ads to go back to watching 5 minutes of a show before the next ads. Totally ridiculous.

So the app improved for a while. Recently, a new issue started: I cast from my phone to my TV using a Chromecast. Recently, after each commercial, the audio timing gets more delayed. The 1st commercial adds about a second of delay, the 2nd adds another second, and so on. Really annoying. I don't have this problem with any other app. FYI, the commercials start after the break marker and the video starts after the audio has already started, so it's related to the commercial programming, IMO.

App is extremely buggy! Consistently gets hung up when the adds are supposed to play, frequently requiring me to restart the app and, at times, perform a complete delete and reinstall. Believe it nor not, the app sucks even more on our Samsung smart TV! I am extremely disappointed since there are several shows that I love to watch on the History Channel!

Watching shows on this app is a nightmare. Ridiculous number of commercial breaks, and if you pick the 30-second interactive version, you will most likely have to rewind the show is it jumps to wherever it feels like when it's done. I hate having to use this app to watch some of the shows I'm interested in, but que sera sera, right?

UPDATE: Yup, still terrible! Virtually no changes in over 3yrs since my last review. I really love history and you can do better... Congratulations on being the worse streaming service out there! I stream EVERYTHING through a multitude of apps from broadcast to premium cable channels. Your app is by far the worse of all of them. I also agree with others in the advertising too, WAY TO DAMN MUCH!!! Pretty sure you should fire whoever runs/maintains your streaming app and overhaul it.

The rise and fall of the Roman Empire is not as complete as the book I read when I was young, but, it memory serves, what it does illustrate appears to match what I read so many years ago. Actually, I don't remember some of the generals and legion numbers or the queen in Britain and tactics in detail, or that tiberius attacked what is now Iraq, but remember in general the British and European campaigns. I getting another history of Rome book. I hope it is as good as the original,.
