HISTORY: Shows & Documentaries for Positive User Reviews

✓ History shows the successful & unsuccessful hunter/gatherersI appreciate the fact the the History producers show both ends of the spectrum in each area of survival living. Building shelters, hunting and fishing, those with a solid plan yet the ability to adapt, versus those with a plan that can’t adapt. Every level of challenge and ingenuity that contestants come up with. This is not a survival show with a preconceived outcome or plan of challenging the people, they let nature do the most unpredictable challenge that it can come up with. Thank you for a great, natural, survival show that surprises me with the ones that fail early and those that end up tapping out in a different order than expected. Great editing and mixing..Alpine51Version: 5.2.1

✓ Great look into past and presentWas recently on vacation in up state California and was seeing many logging trucks and lumber mills. My grand father was a lumberjack and ran a small saw mill in the 30’s and 40’s. As a kid I remember seeing some of his old hand saws and chain saws in the old barn. Watching the Ax Men series has enlightened me as to how hard and dangerous lumbering was and is. My hat goes off to people that have done and are still doing that difficult job. Many thanks to the History Channel for all the great programs they show. As for the concerns some people have about commercials, I believe it’s a small inconvenience for what we are getting in high quality entertainment..Quit hardrockVersion: 3.8.6

✓ ViewingWishing I could see this without paying because my income is to low for such things. Have no cable at all. The antenna doesn’t get you hardly anything at all. What you do get is just terrible. Can’t believe they would dumb us down this way or at all. We are being influenced by what we see n hear and if you can’t or won’t see n hear you won’t learn anything at all. Our world is based on knowledge and learning for process. How are we to better ourselves without the proper information. Love this channel and miss it dearly. Just found this app and I’m watching what there is free. Thank you for that much. It’s nice and wish it were free for all of it. Commercials are to much to long. Please be considerate about this..2ltenVersion: 3.9.16

✓ Hi .Apparently I’m suppose to create a review of this app or channel or Shows. It must be extremely difficult to fill a 24/7 channel with shows with an unknown projected budget from Advertising and Payed cable .From that aspect you have to deploy a budget sparingly and support certain project and kill them off if ratings come back unfulfilling .But how long to give each project a chance would be by each shows Budget . If they can not self sustain themselves by ratings and budget you would have to terminate the program. From this aspect I find your channel to be going work . I only enjoy one or two of your shows. project blue book being one of them. Thank you for the entertainment..Thunder Storm Pod CastVersion: 3.9.18

✓ Washington, SeriesI just finished watching Washington, on my 10 inch iPad, while on vacation. It was fantastic. It is such a pleasure to be able to relax in the comfort of your bedroom, and watch such a moving story, in beautiful HD. It was like reading a good book, in bed, at the end of a busy day. I had tears in my eyes by the end. The acting was excellent, as well as the whole movie production. I particularly liked everyone of the historians, they added such realism to the scenes. And not having an overwhelming amount of commercials was really appreciated. I will spread the word about this show. Every American needs to see this, and get a refresher course on how this country got started. Thank you..Fred45510Version: 3.9.17

✓ Way too many commercialsLove the History channel, hate commercials taking up so much time! Vikings is my fave, can’t get enough, but you see 2 maybe 3 scenes and then boom! you’re bombarded with umpteen commercials! Give us a break! More show, less commercials. It would also be nice to see more historical period pieces like Vikings, as there are many of us who love love love ancient history. Not a big fan of the re-enactment shows though. The History app is great, but there is a lot of black screen and once again, those horrid commercials! When something is first run on TV, advertisers are getting their commercials on at that time. Why do we have to endure the same thing online? There should not be commercials on any shows that are viewed online. It’s advertiser greed. Libertylovr.LibertylovrVersion: 3.9.5

✓ ReviewI love History Channel and the app is very good. However, the fact that I cannot cast the episode from my phone to a bigger screen like my Samsung TV keeps me from rating five stars. Also the fact that the Samsung TV History Channel App never loads and always gets stuck on the start up screen doesn’t help either. I have gone through various troubleshooting methods including software updates to the TV itself, uninstalling and reinstalling the app on the TV, etc. In regards to the Chrome cast, it works fine with Disney Plus, Netflix, Discovery Plus, etc. I am only having trouble with the History Channel app. Minor complaints but thought I would share to better help future performance of this app. As I mentioned, it would have been 5 stars if it weren’t for those minor complaints..Brinabina1988Version: 5.1.2

✓ Theodore RooseveltI am 68 years old and have visited the history of George Washington, General E. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln through your channel and am at awe over these films. I am sorry to say that I do not remember my history lessons and found history incredibly boring while in middle school, but now I find that I can’t get enough history, all because of your films. You are masters at portraying these men and I thank you for a new found memory to share with people. My mother used to tell me that we were related to George Washington and now I realize how. His mother was Mary Ball and we are Paul D. Ball’s daughters of three. I don’t know where it comes into play but it’s what she told us and we believed her somehow. Maybe wishful for bragging rights but we never said anything to anyone because you have to prove that kind of information. Anyway, thank you a hundred times for your hard work portraying those men and the times they lived in and their contribution to our wonderful country that we are privileged to live in. God Bless America AND YOU. Sincerely, Vickie L. Rademaker.Vickie Ball RademakerVersion: 6.2.0

✓ Too much commercialI love History and also love this app, but felt like it too much commercial on the 1 episode. pop up every break time for 3-4 commercials in one break. it made me feel got interrupted more than enjoying. I don’t really mind much for having commercials during the show(maybe 1 break for 1 commercial), but this way is too much to take it. Worse case is sometime, I want to stop and end up with the show. that’s sad because I’m never get bored or want to give up for studying about History, but this app can make me feel on that way. Anyway, thank you for the good stories that you’re sharing..RisrichyVersion: 3.9.9

✓ Availability is good!Right now I’m having trouble with my Xfinity account because they can’t figure out why when I record something it won’t play back. I can just hear the audio and they’ve tried several things to fix it that haven't worked. So I appreciate the fact that the history channel puts everything on its app and you can go there and watch it. I was able to watch the show that didn’t tape properly just by going there. What frosts me is Xfinity is now having shows taken away and put on an app that you have to pay for and when the show doesn’t tape it’s not even on the app!! (D+) Thank you history channel for not being so stingy even though ads have to play..Leela TurangaVersion: 4.1.8

✓ Excellent ShowsWell some of the shows have absolutely no connection to history some of them definitely do. I’m not necessarily against shows that have no history behind them but I must say the ones that do are definitely worthwhile. I would definitely like to see more shows that involve our history and forget the ones that seemingly have little to no connection to what I’d expect of a “history” channel. I’d also like to see more shows that are NOT focused on specific interests - shows like Forged in Fire or Pawn Stars. Just my opinion but they aren’t what I’d call “history”..Hashi GVersion: 5.1.0

✓ ALONE- CommercialsI absolutely love watching the ALONE series. I have watched it since day one and I’m never disappointed in the show. This season however the number of commercials is annoying. They continually remind you of the other few series they have, which I understand but it is so repetitive that it is painful. At least maybe make the commercials survival or show relevant somehow. Or tap a couple outdoor sponsors since most folks watching this would be folks who likely purchase from such retailers and have less commercials. Please, please keep doing this show and don't change anything about it! Just a few less commercial breaks would be awesome..T REDSVersion: 4.1.8

✓ No IssuesI just finished watching/listening “The Food That Built America” via my Fios account, and I loved it. I’m working a long hours so I don’t mind the commercials because I wasn’t actually watching but more of listening. However, I do notice that the streaming process was great as there wasn’t any interruption at all. The reason I’m saying this because if I was watching my shows on my phone via fios top box while I’m home my shows get interrupted every 20-30 minute and it’s just spinning forever. I have to log back in again over and over. But watching History Channel today was no issues at all. I’m happy!.24BlueVersion: 3.9.10

✓ AloneI really enjoyed alone and I’ve wased all the episodes. Sometimes I got tired of seeing blades of grass are the same clip over and over again in the same episode. I’m sure that is difficult for the participants to get good footage while trying to fend for themselves; there for making it hard for the editors to find good footage. I really enjoy seeing them put their shelves together actually catching food and solving problems. Sometimes there’s a lot of starvation scenes. Well I certainly feel for them it would be nice to see more scenes of them doing something..BradleyBadgerVersion: 5.1.3

✓ Nice to watch “Alone” episodesI like this app being free so I can watch the Alone series. Of course, being free it is ad heavy. However, I find the ads shorter, and far less irritating than tv ads which are 40 minutes of a 60 minute show. Add in that tv shows now repeat several minutes of content after every commercial - content you already watched before the commercial - and you actually experience very little new content in an hour long show. I am just now using this app again after an absence of several years. Previously there were occasionally streaming issues, with the episodes stopping and freezing with it stuck trying to load. Haven’t had any issues so far this time. 🤞🏽 For reference, I’m streaming the app on a second generation ipad..Grey MystVersion: 5.2.1

✓ I hated history in schoolBut many years later, I’m very interested in history, especially of our origins. I’m a huge Ancient Alien fan now and I’ve been trying to catch up on all the episodes that I’ve missed, but sadly they’re not all there. I’m not sure why the History Channel app would skip some of the episodes in a given season. It’s ok, Discovery+ has them, tho they only have up to season 8. Also, why can’t I watch things on my smart tv? There’s no symbol there to click on so I can change it. Please fix this. You’ll have one happy History customer and I’ll change my rating. Thx!.TabbiWytchVersion: 4.1.8

✓ Signs of the times…The element/s I’ve LOVED have created hope. The aspects that I admire and enjoyed included dynamics of working as a team while honoring individuaI opinions… I like to learn so I appreciated gaining information about a field (archeology—not searching for treasure…)that I’ve yearned to work in but probably don’t have sufficient patience to do well… Guest experts impressed me with the range of their knowledge and their commitment to volunteering their skills. Everyone rose to the task at hand. (I was disappointed when three archeologists—all female—were “asked” to leave after two years of work! That was a “downer” for me…) Thanks!

✓ The very best Channel & App with so many different varieties of programming.Hats off to the History Channel. There are so many different varieties of programming, so you never get bored. I, myself, am hooked on the Curse of Oak Island, (the search for answers to an over 200 year old mystery of buried treasure on an island in Nova Scotia), Mountain Men, (Follows several different men and women who live and make their living in the mountains),Swamp People (searching for & hunting alligators and pythons where their populations become dangerous for people). Their Documentaries are brilliantly and factually recreated periods of Historical interest. It’s one of my favorite Channels on TV, my IPAD and phone. There’s plenty of other different types of programming, too. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed..Lady SandeeVersion: 5.5.2

✓ OLDIES FOR OLD STUFFWe have loved following The Curse of Oak Island since it began. It’s amazing to actually see the progress the Lagina’s and their partners have made over the years using more and more sophisticated technology. Watching on the History Channel is as close as we can get to actually being there. I do, however, agree with previous reviewers and wish we could stream The History Channel without a tv provider and not have to watch after the initial airing of our favorite shows. We cut the cord years ago and only have antenna tv along with a few streaming channels..Tiddles23Version: 5.5.6

✓ Love the PastI can only say that when we studied things like the “Roaring 20’s,The Depression,The Boston Tea Party,The Roman Empire, right on back to when the Dinosaurs roamed the Earth” and we as children could not escape from the exciting things we were being taught, only a lot of the ways we were taught was matter of factly very boring. I really liked it when there was a film, even fact filled documentaries were great. As valuable as a books knowledge can be, they’ll never be as interesting as someone else doing the reading and telling about it. Ever since I can remember and before is how far back my true desire to be next to GOD goes. Now with that being said, Please History Channel Accept My Full Hearted Thankfulness!!!! You Make History Fun!! I Sincerely hope that you continue to be a large part of the knowledge that we seek the most. Knowledge of Ourselves!!!!.See a fishVersion: 3.9.5

✓ Country boy showThis show is watch by country boys and hunters , out door people. I think you need to make sure the contestants have the skills that allows us to learn from . The woman that left because of the hook in her had was a shame all county boys have took a hook out of their hand it’s a simple thing to do . When she lashed the knife to her arm let us know she’s miles behind the average country boy in skills . I won’t to see people that don’t just survive but thrive in the woods . They still lack the knowledge to use the fish to kill a bear . To hunt at night when the animals are walking threw their camp . I love the show it’s great Just my adopt make it better . Thanks for all you do your biggest fan . Game Man.Alabama Man 66Version: 3.8.6
