Add a watchlist feature
This app needs a watchlist feature so I can add shows and documentaries to keep track of what I want to watch next.

Pathetic!
I was formerly a Verizon Fios customer up until a week ago, and that is how I used to authenticated the Smithsonian app so I could watch Smithsonian on demand via the app. I’ve since switched my provider from fios to YouTubeTV. However, when I try to sign in on either my iPad or AppleTV, the Smithsonian app still redirects me to Verizon to authenticate and does not give me ANY option to authenticate through another TV provider (eg YouTubeTV). This is insane! I’m already paying for this programming, and Smithsonian is failing me miserably. Not fair…not right!
Smithsonian/ frontier
This app refuses to connect with frontier and it just renders… This is not frontiers problem since the app itself will not work or connect with frontier.. it’s been like this for years…. Please fix your app or get a new one that works for customers that pay a lot of money just to have access to you on our cable….
Good shows but confusing app
I Pay for my subscription and I provided my tv provider so I can watch all the air disaster shows, and now it has locked most of the episodes and when I try to unblock all the content, it says this page Is unavailable for my channel. And It’s frustrating
Laughable
Any app that requires you to sign into a tv provider is a FOWL. Just make it a subscription, this is ridiculous. Useless app, enjoy being left in the past. Absolutely worthless -10/10.
Still Terrible Since Last Years Rewrite
If only I could give zero stars for an absolutely terrible app. The previous app apparently had too much content and was way to easy to navigate, but the programmers said ‘hold my beer’ we can fix that. It also had a tremendous amount of 4K shows. Gone. This is like going back to Windows 98 after using the latest version of iOS. Smart move. I used to view shows in this app on a daily basis. I haven’t watched anything in this app since the rewrite. Just checking when an update comes in to see if it’s fixed. Sadly it’s still the same garbage app on the iPad and Apple TV.
