This is a wonderful app!! I'm VERY HAPPY with it in every way ☺ !! There is only one brief commercial at the beginning of each episode/show before the opening credits, then the rest of the program is totally commercial-free. And if you need to move back/forward It's so easy with the time-line feature. I literally can't find ANYTHING wrong with this app. It's wonderful. Don't pay attention to the complainers... this is a free app. You don't need to be a member to use it either.

Excellent library of content. Netflix has really declined, so I cancelled it, and donated to PBS to become a member and gain access to Passport. I've enjoyed it a lot so far, except the video playback. The play/pause function is inconsistent and causes the time marker to jump around randomly, and there's no double-tap to fast forward or rewind a few seconds like most other video streaming apps have. So, great service and fairly good app, but the app could use some improvement.

Hi Mike, thank you for the review! We’re always looking for new ways to improve our app, and this playback feature is a suggestion we've recently been hearing from our viewers. We’ve passed along your suggestion to our app developers. We hope you continue to enjoy the PBS Video app! -PBS Video Team

I was told by PBS Help Desk this will not work on Google TV with Chromecast, however it appears to work fine for me. Although it doesn't show on the apps bar by default like Netflix etc, it is located in "More Apps" and I am able to play, pause, rewind, fast forward, etc. with no problems so far. The controls could be more responsive, and it's an extra step to access the app, thus the 4 stars.
