6.12 Poor playback controls. Poor response. 5.26 STILL so stupid that you have to GO DIG for the show you did not finish watching. 5.2 The playback controls are glitchy. Double ads. Does not stop in right place. App fails to note viewed episodes on My List. Disappointing! Love the content. Disappointed in this. More ads before Newshour than in YouTube. Hard to get pause button to work or to dismiss screen. If you do not finish watching a show, it does not prompt you to finish it.

Terrible app, glitches and buggy. Every time I try to watch something it freezes. When casting to devices the video is sideways. Ads start before program and there's no way to back out without force stopping the app. Super frustrating to navigate as well.

This is a Great App For People Who Likes PBS (i really love PBS) Try this app out! But some Stations need a live stream like PBS Hawaii Needs a Live stream including PBS El Paso and more need a livestream for their station but other than that, great app PBS.

The Whitman Sampler of streaming services. If you like one minute clips, you'll love this app. All this time I thought PBS was paid for by the federal government, but none of the programs are available unless you pay extra. I will be uninstalling and mentioning this experience to my Congressman next time he tweets anything about public broadcasting funding. EDIT: I checked multiple cities' stations - identical videos.

It needs to be fixed because it won't respond and it will kick me out its still glitchy and needs to be fixed so fix it NOW!

You can't save the app to the home screen. If you hit back arrow to go back to the main page, it closes the app and you have to go back to play store to open again
