I love PBS and Passport. This app, however, is not very good. It has very slow response, no casting ability, and a painful sign in process. I avoid using it.

This is a terrible app. When I use it, close, and later re-open it, it shows a blank screen. I have to uninstall and then reinstall and re-enter user info. Then when I close it and re-open, I get a blank screen again and have to go through the install process all over again. This is very disappointing since PBS has some of the best programs available and certainly a much higher percentage of quality programming than any other streaming service.

Tried the app twice hoping 1st experience was over come able. It's not. What good is it? It's like getting Disney. You can get it -the app- free, sure, but you can't watch anything unless you purchase a plan. Kind of underhanded. Even Netflix says up front its gonna cost you. Reduced from 2 stars to one
