    Love History is an absolute gem. I began with the podcast and was intrigued. Once I got a subscription, my experience transformed completely. It's so much richer than I expected. I can't recommend it enough!

    After a restart, everything works perfectly. It even runs on my no-brand Chinese tablet. Cheers! I had an old comment about the app staying on a black screen when opening it on a Samsung S8 with the latest software.

    This history app is amazing! It offers something for everyone. It deepened my understanding of topics I already knew and opened the door to new areas I hadn’t explored. The community around the app is fantastic, too.

    I had high hopes for my subscription. I was excited to dive into the content and enjoyed a few shows at first. Then, a special offer appeared right after I signed up at full price. Now, I'm left waiting for customer service to get back to me. Another thing that frustrates me is that recent videos, like those about Napoleon, are going straight to YouTube instead of being available on this app for paying customers. It feels pretty disappointing and unfair. Honestly, I’d suggest looking into YouTube Premium instead.

    Everything works well. It’s simple to navigate on both laptop and phone. The documentaries look stunning and are well put together. There’s a nice variety too. Definitely recommend it.

    The app keeps crashing on my Galaxy S22. I’ve tried everything to fix it. Closed all the other apps, but it still doesn’t work right. I really like History Hit and paid for a yearly membership. If it keeps acting up, I won’t renew. It also misses some key features. There’s no way to mark an episode as listened or to bookmark spots for later. Bookmarks would be great for long podcasts. Please, add these features!

    The content shines with excitement. The app and website need some work. Imagine being able to save a list of shows you want to catch or whip up a playlist filled with your favorite podcasts. That would make things so much easier! Also, it frustrates when you close the app or website, and it forgets where you left off in a program. Keeping track of that would be a game changer.

    I discovered this YouTube channel that features an incredible collection of content. The app, however, lacks organization on smartphones and TVs. Categories aren’t clear at all. For example, the Curiosity app does a fantastic job with its categories, making it easy to find what you want. Here, searching for new content feels like a treasure hunt. You have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, not even sure where they tucked away the documentary you’re looking for. It would be great to have a dedicated section that separates podcasts from documentaries too.
