One because there is absolutely no way to remove an unwanted show from continued watching.
Outdated app, casting doesn't work most of the time.
It feels weird chatting down a PBS app, but they require you pay a "donation" in order to watch, and the entry form feels downright deceptive. First, the lowest "donation" they accept is $5 per month, but their helpful pre-populated options have the lowest as $8. Very easy to skip over assuming they would make them the same. Much worse, if you enter a custom amount and use Google Pay, THEY STILL TRY TO CHARGE YOU $8, This is actually broken. Please fix both
I fund them through taxes and still have to pay, sorry, "donate" in order to watch a tax payer funded station
unable to sign in to app on tv
platform sucks. pauses.
Public t v has nothing to offer anyone , and they should defund immediately
we must pay to watch the shows when on the television you can watch them for free. I wish that I could afford to buy a television right now since I have been without a television for over a year.
this is not free to watch..have to "donate" at least 8 dollars a month to watch programs.
eh I live in Canada NOT the US of A so I cannot use this app. Typical
you can't watch live in another state, sad
I could not open the PBS app so I uninstalled it. I tried to reinstall it using my laptop to my Sony TV but it will not reinstall. I wonder how to get it onto the TV since Google Play Store is not working to help download apps. Any ideas would be helpful.
pbs is going downhill
App randomly stopped opening. After clearing cache and multiple reinstalls, still nothing.
