Ratings and reviews

Unstable app. It kept failing and telling me I needed to sign up, after I'd already signed up. After every video I would have to click subscribe, then it would tell me there was an error, then I could go back and hit subscribe and it would then immediately tell me thank you. However, this either triggered something with HH or google because it then cancelled my trial and I only had access for a day. Disappointing, I love History Hit's podcasts but the app seems to be terrible.

I am genuinely in love with all of the content I've watched so far! It took me a bit following my subscription to really get into it but I have officially fallen into the rabbit hole. I especially love The Ancients podcast, Tristan is an amazing interviewer for these scholars and I haven't been able to paint without it in the background since I found it! The app itself has a couple hiccups here and there but still runs great overall! Keep up the good work!

Couldn't even log in after signing up. Like many other people I never received the 'Start Watching' email after confirming my email address, nor did I ever receive any of the password reset emails. Customer service over email was utterly useless, taking days to reply and not acknowledging any of my issues but regurgitating the same advice given on the dashboard. I would have gotten better service from a bot! Cancelled my subscription after waiting a week with no help from customer service.
