High school project. For a major TV network this is a very poor excuse for an app. It’s EXTREMELY slow to respond to any touch features and can take a solid 5 seconds just to pause the show. It’s long enough to make you think it’s not working so you press it again and then it clears the screen of all features forcing you to start that all over. Now you’re 10-15 seconds past where you want to pause and looking at first rewinding before pausing. And there’s no FF feature, which is incredibly annoying when you’re trying to binge watch a show and have to spend two minutes watching a recap of the episode you just watched. I don’t understand why some network apps are so fantastic and some are like a 90s high school programming beta project. In 2019 it’s inexcusable to have network apps that are not top notch. Thankfully I don’t watch much on Nat Geo but this app makes me want to watch even less.

Good shows bad streaming. This app is always crashing before a show is over and then you can’t get back to that spot without rewatching at least 15 minutes of the show... which I usually just shut it off at that time. This app needs a lot of work before it will get anything over 3 stars from me. I really just want to watch a whole episode of a show with no crashes!

Lacking Diversity. Although many shows have diverse people and roles, the subject matter and story lines are lacking cultural diversity. I never really noticed when I was watching on tv but today I downloaded app and can clearly see this deficiency. Please expand, within app, the database of which I know National Geographic already has. For those really smart people, i am specifically referring to the shows or movies, and I am not referring to the animals or geographic territories.

Login login login. I downloaded this to watch Free Solo on demand on my Apple TV rather than wait for the rebroadcast, and I am pleased that the app allowed me to do that via my tv provider account. I am displeased that the app made me log in repeatedly to watch, even though I used the app on consecutive days. I had to log in again once every day, and it even interrupted me in the middle of a show I’d been watching, even though I was authenticated 25 min earlier when I started watching it. I am also very annoyed that the app requires you create an account with them in order to resume watching a show at the point where you left off. The app clearly remembered where I was, as the progress bar on the thumbnail of the show advanced each day, but it refused to let me resume unless I created an account with Nat geo AND allowed them to send me promotional emails. No thanks, I just made rough guesses where I left off. The experience using the applet tv version of this app was so poor that now that I’ve watched the documentary I was interested in I’m going to delete the app. There’s just too many hurdles in the way of making this a good viewing experience.

Wonderful content ruined by constant ads. I love the subject material, the photography and the content. But,I just cannot get through the constant distraction of Ads that totally destroy the programming. Does anybody really believe that these ads actually cause you to buy or watch anything in particular. They just cause your brain to go numb especially when you see the same ad three times in a row. So sad, I had such high hopes for this channel. I would rather pay to watch these programs without ads and to watch them free with ads. Back to PBS.

AMAZING shows & a solid app. National Geographic has always been my favorite channel by far. The shows are genuinely thought-provoking and thoughtful, with the suspense and addictiveness of a TV show and the quality of a good documentary. The app works fine as well, and hasn’t glitched or crashed yet. I saw some reviews complaining about the amount of ads, and while that’s a fair point, I personally like them. Not because I enjoy watching ads that much, but because they force me to take a break and remember to drink some water, and without them I could watch for hours without even looking up from my screen 😄.

Ad integration...horrific. First, I don’t mind ads. But the sheer number of ads; the “choice” to see multiple or single ads and the repetition of the same cross promotional nonsense makes this format frustrating at best; and a waste of time in the new digital era of media. I’d love to be fly on wall of the exec meeting discussing ad placements in the app. “Hey lets synergy our cross promotional shows and really...zzzzz!” “Blue sky that idea Farnsworth!!” - seriously, just give me the ad without having me navigate the idiotic menu with a prompt the size of a pea. Give me multiple ads at once! I don’t care about the ads, I get it, it makes you money but why can’t media companies understand user experience should be front and center. Why can’t you just deliver a similar TV experience? Do you get digital is the new TV? No need to make it harder. It’s entertainment. I pay you to immerse myself in nonsense; not to think about what ad I’d like to see especially when....it’s the same stupid ad. Ok I get CW is pushing supergirl by repeatedly showing her thrust out her bosoms over and over; I get CW is pushing Charmed, which btw, I couldn’t figure out which show was which. And both shows aren’t even close to the target demographic of the tv show I am watching. The chance of me watching CW is zero. Perhaps I’m cynical but I have more hope for a 5 year old exploring play dough than these dumb “tv” execs.

What a joke.. So apparently some shows are truly free to watch, where you don’t need to sign in to your TV provider and input all your info. I saw 5 shows that didn’t have a lock icon. Yep, 5. And all of those were nothing I was interested in. Cute animals? Pass. How one woman will live forever? I’m good. Everything I was really interested in only had very limited access. That means, that while I could select an episode and start watching, I could only view a certain % of the total episode. For a 1:30:00 episode it was around 35 minutes, for a 44 minute episode it was around 3. Get commercials on it? Too bad, can’t skip, and it still detracts from your time. Utter waste of time. The Apple story about this app and the info the app has on its page are entirely misleading about what you can actually do with limited access. I wanted to like it, and I was so excited to see this app was a thing, but now I’m just kind of bitter and disappointed. Deleted after about 50 minutes.

Technology is awful. Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other reviewers that the app itself is technically flawed. It's usability misses some basic features like highlighting links once you've click them, so you never know if you've selected it. It's incredibly challenging just to sign in. And its general navigation is amazingly confusing in a world of simple-to-use apps. I really wanted to watch the shows through the app, but it's not worth the headache and waste of time trying to get it to work.

Great Content Plagued by Ads. ❤️Love the content and would gladly pay for an ad free experience. 5 ad slots for a 30 minute program is a bit much. Maybe cut it down to 3? it would help the programming flow better and make me more likely to support the companies that are being advertised to me. 💰I’d also likely choose to frequent the Nat Geo app more often. I’m very appreciative of your programming 🤩

Nat Geo TV. Nat Geo TV is a well designed application that allows users to easily customize their experience with the option of selecting their favorite shows as well as the ability to easily search for programs they may be interested in. Like most TV channel applications users can watch live programming by logging in if they subscribe to a cable provider.

Enjoyable.. I've enjoyed watching the shows on the app. Ads are annoying, but a necessary evil to be able to access the shows (I think this varies a bit according to cable provider). But having commercials is no different than it would be on TV. I didn't have trouble logging in once I chose my cable provider. I believe shows from both the regular Nat Geo channel and the Nat Geo Wild channel are available which is nice.

Piece of junk.. Horribly unstable. It never allowed me to successfully login through my cable provider. It crashes all the time. If you accidentally click on an ad, you will NEVER navigate back to your show. You will need to restart the app. For a top-level network that is trying to appeal to a generation of cordcutters, this app is a steaming pile of failure. The only thing more ridiculous than this app is that sponsors are actually paying you money to "advertise" on this platform. ("Advertise" isn't really an accurate term, because you would first need a functional platform to serve the ads to viewers. You guys can't get past the first step.)

You had One job. (Update) They fixed it! Thank you :) The app works like a charm now. Complete overhaul, and they even fixed the pixelation that I used to see for a few minutes after every commercial. Now my only suggestion is that the scrub bar pop up immediately when we tap, instead of the artistic (?) delay. But I think I can live with that. Good work, devs! [This app has always been slow and inefficient, but I’ve put up with it to watch my one show. But as of this week, I can’t use the app for more 2 minutes (literally) before it crashes, doesn’t matter if I’m watching something or navigating. Obviously this makes it utterly useless. If it doesn’t get fixed soon, I’ll be deleting it because the empty space on my phone has more value.]

TV provider sign in crash. This app just updated on my device and just keeps spinning and resetting to access my fios acct. what I find ironic is that the instruction for how to sign off from your TV provider (which I was going to try in order to see if signing in again might solve this) gives very detailed, step by step instruction how to sign out-but the instructions direct you to menu options that don’t exist! Also navigation, which wasn’t great on the old version, seems worse here as there are few filters and labels.

Highly entertaining. National Geographic is not only highly entertaining , but also many things. The programs are enlightening , learning experiences, as well as historical fact and awareness. Not to mention the photography is phenomenal. The latest series Long Road Home gives us as Americans a deeper respect and understanding for our military. As so does Morgan Freeman’s series on Search for God, All about us, reveals all facts thus giving us all a better understanding. Jp✨

Unstable App - Crashes All The Time. This App is a piece of Junk. It crashes constantly which is so sad given the fantastic content that the app is supposed to present. Sure wish the developers would do a better job or at least admit their failings and fix so those of us who love Nat Geo could view the fine content that is available.

Content saves it. Login in is quite a challenge. It takes many tries. The shows are not easy to navigate to find the episode you want, although eventually you get there. It all works, but it makes you work back. If it wasn’t because of the terrific would be a download/try/delete within 15 minutes.

Love Nature Stories. Thankful to all the many people going out making documentaries, saving our animals and sharing their experiences, for the World to see. Our Animals should be protected from men that just want to Kill for trophies. Thank you for sharing their stories.

But... I Don’t WANT to Watch “Barkskins”. Why can’t I get past this advertisement? I don’t WANT to watch that show, but it seems like this app is trying to MAKE me, because I cannot click on anything else but “Watch Now” on that advertisement. Sorry National Geographic, I prefer to choose for myself what I want to view on your app. While I understand promoting new shows, please consider offering a CHOICE about whether or not one watches them.

Nat Geo TV unbelievably bad.. At the beginning it was fine and even without any problems I watched 2 episodes of my favorite show on my iOS iPad, and then they grabbed me, and asked for my provider. They took me through the maze and at last asked for my last four digits social security, bank account, drivers license number, my date of birth my account number with Spectrum(Time Warner), and other unheard of things. I will delete the App on my device and suffice to watch my show on regular tv.

Fix it !!!. The content is fine, the function is terrible. Every single time I want to watch a program the app asks me to resign in to my tv provider, but when I tap on the box to do so, it just searches & NEVER loads that sign in page. I have to delete it & reinstall every damned time. The app developer is Disney fcs!! They should have a competent IT dept!! Someone needs to fix this very irritating glitch. I stream stuff on many apps; CNBC, ID, OWN, Oxygen, etc & they all function much better

Crashes on Apple TV. This has happened two days in a row, watching an episode and it will randomly bounce to the main Apple TV app icons (it crashed). Then close the app, checked for updates, and restart the Apple TV and every time you open it, crashes. The fix? Just delete the app, re-download, log back in, re-authenticate with hour tv provider and then it might work. If not repeat the steps and then it will probably work. Please fix this, what a horrible app experience.

Very mediocre app. I installed the app to watch “The State” on my iPad. For some odd reason (bug?), only episodes 2 and 3 are available. Impossible to find episodes 1 and 4 anywhere, even though they are available on the Apple TV app. Sounds like bad QA. Also, the unskippable commercial breaks that play the exact same preview for an upcoming show every 10 minutes, sometimes twice in a row, are really irritating. I’d happily pay for a subscription to not have to sit though commercials. The old TV networks are just not getting it.

Too many ads and the update stinks!. I get it, companies need to make money and when it comes to tv that money is made through ads. I just don’t understand the need to place 5 or 6 ads for every commercial break. It’s ridiculous and most definitely not promoting anything when all I feel like doing is putting my device down during the break or (lately) just turning the show off. Thanks to the new update I can no longer stream forward and backwards through the show so if I miss something I’ve just missed it. You can’t even go forward or backwards by 10 seconds! If I choose to start the show over to see what I missed I have to sit through all of the ads again as well. Plus, the update now cuts off the last minute or two of the show so I never see the conclusion of the episode. All of these issues just seem to make the experience worthless. I love nature shows, but for all of this new trouble I can just go watch some documentary on Netflix instead without all of the issues.

You’ve lost this viewer. I’ve streamed National Geographic channel for years through my cable network. Lately I have to delete the app and re add the silly thing. For some reason it won’t acknowledge my cable provider unless I start from the beginning. I do understand that I could make my own account within the app but I’m tired of app providers selling my info. ( yet another way to make money off of me) This will no longer be a problem for me because I’m unable to watch the shows I used to stream. I work when my normal shows air on my cable network. Unless I purchase the additional streaming service ( even though I already pay for National Geographic through my cable network) I’m unable to watch the shows I would like to watch. Basically I would be paying for advertising for one channel to two separate providers. I’m done with National Geographic and also will not renew my subscription to the magazine. It was nice knowing you when you were more interested in imparting knowledge instead of making a buck. Edit. For some reason now I’m unable to access any shows through your app. I used to have to delete the app and reinstall the app to be able to view shows. For the last few weeks I’ve repeatedly been shown that you’re experiencing “technical problems” . No matter what I try, I don’t seem to have this app’s secret pass word. I wish the app was even half as good as the shows. I now call this Firetrucking National Geographic.

Great app but I want more seasons. Great app however I wish there were more seasons of certain shows, for example Yukon Vet only has season 8 which is only like 9 episodes so I blew threw it, I wanted to watch some of the past seasons but that isn’t an option, however it is for other shows, I feel it should be an all or none type of deal, access to all shows past seasons or only access to the latest season, don’t just pick & choose which shows I can watch start to finish for me, that’s a decision I should be able to make myself. Other than that I really have no complaints other than I really wish y’all would chill with the 5 commercials every break but I guess typical TV does that too so can’t really complain about it.

No longer Quality Shows. I down loaded the app and was shocked how it had changed. 4 straight minutes of ads every 10 minutes. Instead of a charge to view they want access to your cable provider? That’s private information. Why would they think they are entitled to it? Just like the magazine, which I had for years........less content, lots more ads and opinions instead of articles and photos. Another good thing gone bad because of rich people wanting to get richer and spread propaganda. Goodbye National Geographic.......time to bury your carcass.

I like it ... just needs one thing 🙂. This app is very well put together and it is really easy to navigate. The one thing that would make it a 5/5 star review is to have the option to watch programs and shows and pay off your Apple account instead of using a TV provider, mainly because I don’t have a TV provider so I can’t use this feature and use the app to it’s %100 capability. Thats really all

Worst Streaming App I've Ever Used. There is virtually nothing to like about this app. The "My List" functionality is buried, the app doesn't follow the standard "episodes are displayed in ascending order", instead, you have to scroll all the way to the end of the list to watch the first episode of a season. Series don't play if a new season starts. Menus at the top don't activate until you click, breaking with every other tvOS app where simply hovering a menu entry activates that tab. You HAVE to sign up for an account to have continuity across devices. But the worst offender by far are the amount of ads you have to sit through. Even with a PAID Disney subscription, the amount of ads is incomprehensible, Disney is just bilking us at this point. I'm breaking the cycle and canceling my entire Disney suite subscription on principle alone at this point. Absolutely horrific app, and even worse policies.

Not all seasons, not all shows. I don’t understand why there isn’t all seasons of some shows, disappointed. There are numerous shows not on the app and many were the reason I downloaded the app, Critter Fixers is just one. The app itself runs beautifully on my phone (IPhone 11), but there is no reason to have it since it’s lacking in content.

My review.. I thoroughly enjoy NatGeo on my iPad as well as the broadcast tv version. Of course with the iPad I have more selection on what I want to watch. I also have the History, History Vault and the Curiosity apps. I have the History Vault but have not activated yet due to it’s seemingly negative reviews. I not had any of those issues with the NatGeo app. The wide variety of shows with your app allows me to bounce back and forth between NatGeo and Curiosity apps. I rarely watch broadcast tv with the exception of some live sports. So. I enjoy this app. Many,many,many props to the film making personnel who also put their lives on the line for the filming in certainly dangerous situations. James D. Murray Aiken, SC

Doesn’t not work. I have this app on my Apple TV and just spent over 30 minutes trying to get it to work. First of all it doesn’t work when you try to sign in with TV Provider. I deleted the app from my Apple TV, went back to sign in via tv provider and finally it let me click. After clicking “connect via provider” it took me back to “sign in with tv provider” and nothing happened, mind you this is after I deleted and reinstalled the app 3 times. Then I went on my iPad web browser and signed in directly from the NatGeo website I was able to log in. Went into setting looking for device activation and there’s nothing so I’m stuck watching via website. The app is a mess and does not work apple should remove the app from its store because it’s very misleading

Ruined by greed. This is a well-designed app ruined by deceptive marketing and greed. After it is downloaded, all its shows are available for free viewing for a couple days. Then, without warning, it requires a login to the person's TV provider, a kind of paywall. That's not unreasonable if it were announced upfront, but here's the worst thing: if you have the channel as part of your TV package and log in successfully, many many shows may still be unavailable (in a nontransparent way except clicking them one by one) because of something like "your TV provider has not made an agreement with us for this". In other words, Fox got greedy and wanted an extra fee and the TV provider refused to give in to the blackmail. My father, in his 80s, loves this channel and was excited to get the app so he could also view shows on his iPad. In the end, he was frustrated and sad and we ended up deleting the app.

Some minor problems. Honestly, I love this app. I have been using it for a while and think it is amazing. However, I gave it a 4 star review because I am logged out of my account for absolutely no reason. So far it has happened 3 times in the past couple of weeks. If this issue can be fixed, this app would definitely be 5 stars.

App closes randomly. So just randomly will close while I’m watching one of the shows and it’s aggravating because then I lose the progress on my show and I have to start it all the way over. If you guys could please fix this that would be awesome.

Favorite App!!. I used to watch Nat Geo WILD all the time as a kid and I can’t help but LOVE the app! You can choose what you want to watch and it’s all free!! My favorite show so far is The Hot Zone, I cant stop watching it! Although I find it kinda hard to pause the video it is still great! I rate this app 11/10!

Poor audio. previously I have enjoyed the Natl Geo TV app , but since yesterday the live feed on the Natl Geo Wild app is very bad. The audio is SUPER slow. It reminds me of when a tv news feed is trying to mask a persons voice. The other live feeds for Natl Geo west and east are fine. I hope this is issue is being corrected soon. P.S. I have changed my rating of the Natl Geo TV App.I appreciate that the audio problem has been resolved and I look forward to once again enjoying programs. June 19th same audio issue once again.

Great app !!!!. Finally a great app!!! I normally don’t write reviews , however, I just had to write about this great app, it has all of the shows that I love to watch on National Geographic and the additional networks it has gotten since the beginning are great , so thank you for creating a great app!!! I just wished that the other apps that are struggling would follow your template, it sure would make watching television more enjoyable such as your wonderful app!!! So thank you again..

Respectfully watchable and affordable quality entertainment. I’m so pleased having a break from the daily burdens of negativity and so appreciate the notifications. Thank goodness for the true effort toward interesting and substantive viewing Nat Geo provides. Family entertainment like this needs more invitations to connect the social connections that is healing to a political and newsworthy repose from terror so prevalent these days. The electronics distractions offer fodder for conversations we’ve missed far too long. Thanks again for stepping up and not quitting as so many of us thrive on the arts and sciences. Keep it up!

LAWLESS OCEANS. I downloaded the tv app to watch this the Lawless Ocean series because I heard a second season was dropping soon. Well, coming to find out Nat Geo sold the rights to Apple TV to air Net Geo content; which in return Apple has the audacity (to charge you $3 for each episode and $15 for the season for content that should 100% be free w/ paid subscription). Talk about unfriendly business practices to cypher ever penny from loyal paying customers. I’m starting not to see a reason for Apple TV. You would think with plans for a new season of Lawless Ocean to drop Nat Geo would want easy access to their best content, but nope.

More animals, less humans and reality TV. There are some of us that grew up watching Marty Stoufer narrate our animals in the environments that host them. And we enjoy the documentaries you provide. However , you’re producing more and more reality television and it’s alienating an entire era of 80s babies. Please save the culture in an effort to educate towards saving our planet. Not all of us wanna see fishermen in North Carolina go fishing.

Worst streaming app. This is by far the WORST streaming app available. If you stop watching something and try to watch it later you have to start over or start in some random spot and rewatch all the ads. If you try to fast forward to your original spot, it will take you farther back and…. RE WATCH ALL THE ADDS. It is constantly crashing which then is the reason for re-opening it and trying to watch from where you left off. Worst, worst, worst streaming app I have ever seen. Extremely disappointing being owned by Disney now, you would expect better.

We LOVE YOU National Geographic. We enjoy every single show we have watched and we have even done our DNA via National Geographic Genome project You have really done wonders teaching us about our Beautiful World and Humanity! We have learned so much and wishing we had more time to tap into every show in your library. Our children and grandchildren enjoy National Geographic. Thank you so much. I recommend National Geographic to those who love life!

fails to load articles that are sent as notifications. I’m a subscriber of National Geographic and this app is VERY disappointing. I frequently get notifications of new NatGeo articles from my Apple News feed and when I click on the notification the app launches but the article doesn’t load. Developers need to spend more time testing. I’m on an iOS device with the latest version and the NatGeo app is current version. I don’t have any such issue with my other Apple News feed article - seems related specially related to NatGeo

App works great! Commercial/Ads Fail!!. I love the content! Big fan of Nat Geo TV!! The App works perfectly too! However, the add content, the number or frequency of ads and the ability to interact is a big failure!! I watch the App on my Apple TV. When I first experienced the “interactive ad” for Panera I figured this could be a new and more exiting way to watch an ad. Whom ever created the Panera ad clearly didn’t understand the concept as the interactive-ability doesn’t happen?? In addition, I have now watched that same ad (the one I didn’t appreciate the first time I saw it)probably 20 times in the first 3 shows I’ve watched. Now I probably have some negative perception to the advertiser due to the poor customer experience?? Fail!

Log-In is Difficult!. Please add a Log-In option on the home menu. Clicking on the Sign-on after selecting a program only crashes the app. Also, please fix the Settings that allows cable subscribers to add their cable provider without crashing your app, and save those settings for a specific device, cable provider, user ID, and password. Having no way to return to the app, when accidentally tapping on a commercial, is beyond frustrating . . . your paying viewers just want to go back to the point where they left off in the program. Fix these bugs and watch your viewership increase! Please!!

Good but.... Great app! However you should be able to favorite shows so you can access them quickly. I know the app allows you to do this with episodes, but to do this with the actual shows would make it that much more convenient and enjoyable. Otherwise I love this channel, very meaningful shows, keep up the great work with this app!

Sign in issues with locked content both often and frustrating. I’m a big fan of the Nat Geo TV Network, including the shows within. However, the app consistently has locked issues and throws up “Oops!” or “authN” authentication failure, even if your signed in and/or with the Disney network. Having locked content that should easily be accessible needs fixed immediately as this has been ongoing and consistent as of late.

Voice. Thank you for getting this fixed so fast! Why does it sound like a recording someone slowed from 45 to 33 speed? This is my favorite channel and I haven’t been able to watch for 2 days. Fix it!

More seasons. I think the app is great but I wish you had all seasons for shows. It’s annoying jumping from one app to another trying to watch stuff Also it would great if it was commercial free

I used to love this but a new bug made everything unwatchable.. I tried to add things to my list, and play new episodes, but it gives me and error and says try again later. This has been going on for a week now and I miss it. Please fix this soon! Overall this used to be great for watching documentaries for free, and not that many ads..

Please, no TV subscription.. Will be wonderful if I can just pay to watch this channel without getting a cable subscription. Would you ever release it without cable subscription? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Very frustrating and waste of time. Completely agree with the review by Marbano and prof500. Frustrating log in requirements, number of ads, and inability to resume the viewing without having to re log in. I have no idea how this utterly frustrating app gets more than 4 stars. And why do I need a TV or cable provider to watch it ? Do not bother . There are other simpler ways to get to the same end.

Spectacular app. This is a great way to watch NatGeo programs. The app gives the user access to the very broad variety of programs and works flawlessly. I am very pleased with the functionality and ease of use, highly recommended.

Complete Entertainment. I simply enjoy, being able to watch some of my old standbys and being able to choose when and where to view a show!

Difficulty signing into cable provider. Couldn’t watch shows, it just spins when I try to login to my cable provider. After deleting the app and re-installing the app I was able to login to my cable provider.

Pointless app. Its pointless to even download this app. It doesn’t have all the episodes and the content is locked unless you have a tv provider. Most people’s don’t pay for cable anymore. Just WiFi! Why would I subscribe to this channel if I was paying for cable?! And it doesn’t even give you any other options to watch the locked content. Pointless app!

The worst app for watching content on Apple TV. This app makes you log into your cable/Satellite provider every time you try to watch something. Do the people who write this junk program ever try to use it? This type of app is why people pirate content. I’m trying to use the app right now and I’m at 30 minutes and counting of errors, trying to generate activation codes and getting nowhere. Do yourself a favor and don’t download this garbage app.

No longer works. This app quit working on my IPad. When.i open the app it simply Rolls through a couple opening screens and then just spins on a blank screen indefinitely.

Finally was able to log back in. I had a problem as well. But i was able to log in eventually and now i am watching Genius beginning with episode 1 (i had missed 7 episodes). Excellent!

Pleased.... The only reason I give 4 out of five is because the ads are repetitive. I understand ads are important to keep certain content free... but why repeat the same ads every comercial break? Variety would make a difference in my rating...

Crashes during ads. Unusable.. How frustrating. It is worthless if it crashes during the ads. I gave up halfway through a show. Too bad.

Terrible UI. No "search" for shows!! Very few (none?) archived shows. Their web page for "Year of living dangerously" links to this app but the app has a very limited selection of episodes especially older seasons or older shows. The app is good for watching the current shows if you missed any, but not much else.

Good but to busy. It’s a good app but there’s to much going on. The effects for the app make it slow and difficult to navigate. I still haven’t found how to continue watching a series. I have to find the last episode as season every time. Picture quality is good so no complaints there but a little tweaking would be great.

Inspiration * Hope * Information. Throughout life Nat Geo brings inspiration, hope & information that can’t be found anywhere else in the most classic to advanced forms of media. The App is fantastic! Can’t wait to see more of #Trackers & K9 Trusty!

Good, but could be great. As others have written there should be a way to continue watching my favorite shows without searching for them again. Also, why isn't "Live Free or Die" available? I would like to watch past shows, even if they aren't airing anymore.

Really. Watching Wicked Tune OB weekly on my iPad then all of a sudden episodes locked. Create an account whoa if all the info they require isn’t shared then why do you need it? Goodbye Natgeo don’t the aggravation or invasion of privacy. The 4.7 rating seems high based on reading the ratings!

Provider Issues. Worked really well for me at first and then it signed me out of my provider login so I tried to log back in and it wouldn’t even show up on the provider list. Then I clicked on the “can’t find provider” button and it showed that my provider is supported by this app but still wouldn’t show up on the list. Really frustrating.

National Geographic / Fox. Nope. Sorry, I’m not going to “sign into” yet another “app”. Its getting ridiculous. I pay good money for cable which has “on demand”. Of course when I go looking for a new show I can’t find it unless I install an app. Its getting really old. Who’s in control, the people with the money(that’s us) or the people with the big yachts who own 10 or 15 homes around the world. Its almost time to strike!!!

Awful app!. Everything about this app is completely flawed. You're first directed to pick either NAT Geo or NAT Geo Wild. Once you pick one you can't go back and change it. I logged in with my cable provider after restarting (and re-downloading) the app TWICE due to crashing. After I logged in the videos were unlocked but a message came up saying "not authorized to watch this video" waste of my time! I wanted to catch up on Dr. Pol. :-(

Cast option gone. Might just be a bug, but the option to cast has disappeared. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled and it’s the same thing. I really like this app and would like to keep using it. Thanks.

Too many commercial. Such a beautiful show but too many commercials Ads in between the shows.

Ads. The app is fantastic. Easy to operate and Consistently works. Some episodes have way too many ads. Also the ads are very repetitive.

Excellent every which way!. NatGeo's Genuis (Einstein) is excellent! Storyline, performances, pace - had me hooked episode 1! Read about the series months after broadcast on the channel, delighted it is offered via the app. "Patiently" waiting for Season 2 in April. Thank you NatGeo!

Requires frequent multiple logins. Even with a separate account, a tv provider account and a premiere pass, I had to provide multiple verifications when going between devices or resuming a show after more than a 15 minute break, often leading to a compete restart. Content is good but app needs much work.

This was great, and then it wasn’t. The app loaded and played my show just fine the first time I opened it. Then I paused a show midway through and when I came back, nothing would load. I turned on and off the WiFi, tried to connect using LTE, reloaded the app, deleted and reinstalled the app, nothing worked. I am angry and want to finish the one show I started! The app won’t even let me do that.

Fix Apple TV app. Please fix this. When I watch and leave and come back the next day it doesn't save where I left off. I have to play back through the same commercials twice. Sometimes it may jump to another episode and then I have to start over again. Ire someone from another channel who has perfected apps and provide downloads.

Takes forever to load. Content is well organized but ads are weirdly placed. Not able to use on more than one device. Still waiting for it to load... Still waiting... Still waiting.

Fantastic Ap Fantastic Programing. If you have not seen Einstein on this station/App, you are really missing out. There is no need for regular TV anymore as long as I have my iPad and this App. Best Programing available!!

A Vibrant channel of animal colours. If you enjoy a channel, that offers you tours around the world, of people, animals, places to explore, & colours of all the above, this is the place to be!! You see places, above & below the sea, of beautiful sounds, sites & cultures, one could only dream of. 👣 👣

Love your Animal programs, but!. Very difficult to connect with just cellular service and after connecting it then cuts off programs that your watching, hope you can improve that! Some of us can’t afford internet and cellular service, thanks!

I LIKE IT ALL. I enjoy everything!! The shows and series leave me yearning for more. It's educational and informative. We need more shows, series and networks that bring stories to the forefront that are depicted on NatGeo!

What’s up with the available seasons?. The app only has the first 2 seasons of Port Protection…there are 6 total now. And when you go to the show page, it even says “season 6 available now - binge it”….well Nat Geo, I WISH I could binge it, but you are keeping it from us 😩

Thank you so much National Geographic. Wow...😱 These days... It's so hard to find a channel that contains beauty, very useful information + exceptionally amazing work of beauty. I wish all the young kids can watch their work if art and learn.

Clunky. I have the app for one sole purpose. To watch Mars. The app has users pivoting between choices when the commercial segment stArts, but the app does not respond. Or the interface to choose one commercial or multiple don’t seem to work. I would rather just have a stream with commercials and get rid of the interactive stuff. It’s frustrating.

Frustrating.. Access to the content is ok. The timing of new episodes added is fast. However, the ads run wrong and it causes the app to kick you out of the show multiple times. Hard to get into a show when you have to resume it multiple times during a 45 time frame.

Love National Geographic Hate this app. I won’t bother with anything other then the technical here. -does not fix iPhone X screen -no option to fill video to iPhone X screen -app locks up if you switch away from it while playing a video -app does not remember which episode was play led last from main screen -app does not integrate with TV app well -no screen casting option Come on guys Apple is soon requiring iOS 11 and iPhone X screen support to release further updates invest more in a quality app and a standalone subscription not requiring cable tv no many younger people even have cable anymore. Other -no fire tv app

NAT GEO is awesome. The shows on NAT GEO are great. The app is way to use. I would recommend this app to anyone. The only disappointment is you have to use your cable subscription to log in otherwise most of the shows are locked.

Kickass. Learning is kickass..we forget how awesome it is but if you infuse more fun with it similar to how Neil degrass Tyson and bill nye do then you can eventually get people back to loving learning again. And if not, oh well. At least you tried!

Amazing Animals, etc.. This is one of my favorite channels. I've loved all animals, my whole life. When I can see shows featuring animals, and beautiful scenery, I feel so blessed, and happy to be alive. And, Dr Jan Pol Rules! Thanks so much. Kari Celestine in Texas

Love it!. Ever since I was like 6 I loved watching Nat geo and I love how I can now watch it via mobile! I also love how they make a lot of episodes and series free! I totally recommend getting this app

No stars. Extremely flawed would not allow me to even enter a password when I press enter the button would not register this app is dirt

Can't watch episodes. I can't watch episodes because it says authentication failed not authorized to watch this video? and it needs to be fixed?

Fix the advertising crashes, please!!. I can understand the need for ad revenue, for the convenience of on demand viewing; but the crashing at the start of the commercials, during the commercials, at the end of the commercials, ... needs to stop. It is just incensing to have to start over and over again, get the same ads, the same crashes, ... to watch a single episode.

Log in. Log in. Log in. Makes me log in and find my tv provider. Daily. Sometimes hourly. Sometimes I have to get a new password sent via email!!. Even though it “remembers “ me. Clearly by seeing the show I was watching and even where I stopped watching during the episode. Ads ARE RIDICULOUS. 4 or 5 ads at 30 seconds each. Up to 8 ads per 43 minute show. Hate this app. But have no choice on my iPad so what do they care.

Outstanding videos on a wide range of topics. These videos include ones which are timely and others which are timeless. Entertaining and educational.

Disappointed. Since I can’t see Dr. Pol on my tv network I wanted to see it on natgeotv but unfortunately you don’t show it unless you have the tv providers permisión to watch Nat geo wild channel and that I can’t afford to get why can’t you just have it unlocked for those that sign up? Please let me see it I can’t afford to get the nat geo wold channel

Content is good, functionality not so much. The content of NatGeo is unparalleled, however I routinely experience problems with connectivity and streaming. Often, a show will never buffer, and it does not change whether I am on cellular, or any range of home or business WiFi networks.

Love the shows. I absolutely hate the commercials! You have too many commercials, I pay my cable company for NatGeo and all the commercials, why do I have to see so many more on the app?
