I'll summarize by saying that a veritable plethora of video/audio play issues exist. I'm used to Netflix kinda smooth. That's the benchmark, for me, as far as video play/quality/everything except content basically. I'm also not an expert so... Content on Magellan is looking really good and I may just subscribe anyway with the hope of improvements. Seems like they just gotta work the kinks out of the app to get the 5 star that the content appears to deserve.
Just signed up and the title won’t play. I just get taken back to the sign up page even though it’s listed in my apple subscriptions.
Though the documentaries are good, the app lacks basic features such as the ability to return to an unfinished program, fast forward/reverse, recently watched, etc. If you want to watch a series over time, there is no easy way to track progress. Very disappointing. Substantially reduces the value of a paid subscription.
I like the idea and the content, but I would really love to have the +10sec and -10sec controls when watching an episode. Just like Netflix or YouTube have on their videos. Sometimes I zone out for a second and miss a bit of an information. That’s when I need to go back just 10 seconds to catch it but I don’t seem to be able to do so in an easy, quick way.
I would probably have kept the subscription but the app didn’t work properly half the time. I had the audio of a show not stop and when I tried to play a new episode the sound played over top. Another time it has an echo and then another time had the never ending spinning wheel.
If you’re like me and you signed up to this because you watch a lot of documentaries related to history on YouTube and what not, Don’t download this history documentaries are very limited some of them are extremely old and lots of them are foreign so you have to read subtitles. Stick with what you do already. And I stupidly bought a one year subscription so now I have an app I never use
This platform is great and has so much historical content, my only gripe is that, when watching anything, the little white “home” bar at the very bottom of my screen (on my iPhone) stays visible throughout. Unlike on other streaming apps like Netflix, Prime, etc. who have developed their apps to have the “home” bar fade/hide itself when you’re watching a video, Magellan hasn’t done that. It doesn’t seem like a huge deal, but when the video you’re watching is any other colour that all white, that little white bar becomes something that you’re eye is drawn to while trying to focus on said video. As I said, the content is wonderful and I really hope they can fix this problem, because I am excited to watch so many of the great things they have available 🙏
This is best app I have on my phone. I’ve been waiting for an app like this for years.
5 seconds into watching a documentary and the screen turns black but the sound of the documentary is still going basically just like a podcast. If this doesn’t get fixed before my 1 math subscription I will not be renewing. It’s upsetting because I was really looking forward to watching the documentaries, there’s so much I was looking forward to watch. I also won’t be changing my review. I haven’t even had the app for 4 days now amd I’ve restarted and uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times a day but I just choose not to do it today.
