User reviews
Good content but frustrating at times. As a lorry driver I like to put on a podcast and then leave my phone in a safe place. Often the connection drops then when it comes back on it restarts the podcast from the beginning so I end up just turning it off as I can't touch my phone whilst driving. I wish it would replay from where I was up to. Content is great but the app just frustrates me on long drives.

History Hit has much to choose from, from every era. I can always find something to watch or listen to no matter what mood I find myself in, ancient or modern. I do wonder if I am missing something when searching, I don't find the hundreds of videos that advertising led me to believe were available. That said, the historians and presenters have all been worth my time and attention.

Incredibly clumsy to navigate videos. It seems impossible to cancel subscription. Must login to website (can't use app) go to "account" then it goes to another login that won't accept password. The only help they give is to cancel through Google. Content varies from good to god awful. Many titles are just history buffs sitting around discussing things, and often they're far off base it's as if they're making it all up. Sub par for even YouTube.
