Does not work on the PBS tablet. Just says loading and never loads. Re: still freezes constantly when I click uninstall and use the old version. Also, Thomas is gone and that's my son's favorite show

Content is great, but the video keeps playing with the screen turned off. It even starts playing again if you pause it, hit the home button, and then turn off the screen. It has done this on all my devices, from galaxy s4 to a brand new samsung tablet. If they can fix this, it would be 5 stars easily.

I am furious that you have removed Thomas the tank engine from your PBS kids apps. My child with autism isn't doing too well with the change either. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience. Meltdowns are my favorite.

I know that the developers are working on this problem, but the chromecast support is still pretty glitchy. It seems to be getting better with the latest update. I'm beginning to think that it's more of a Google issue.

We use the PBS app on the Shield and since around December, the live streaming tends to stop after a few minutes. It used to have the arrow icon, recently it has the "oops" message. We've uninstalled and reinstalled from the Play store, but it still only plays for a few minutes before "oops". If we pick a show and do the play all, it will make it through all of the available episodes, and only fail (with the arrow) once it reaches the end of the full episodes. It won't go on to play the clips. Not sure if you have any ideas for troubleshooting or if it will be fixed with the next update. A reinstall didn't fix it. 4 stars because before this it worked perfectly.

Great for kids to just watch stuff and I like the programming but the app is buggy, auto plays even when not open, and now, WHERE THE HELL IS THOMAS?!

Respose for PBS Kids: I have tried the factory reset and have been left with an app that sort of functions with content that doesn't change. PBS Kids app on our Roku seems to function better now. As a parent I still do not approve of the auto-play function that can't be turned off. I am also disappointed that a tablet made for PBS can't support the PBS app. Updated Review: this app no longer works on my PBS Kids tablet no matter how many updates I do. The addition of the Watch Live feature was the downfall of what used to be a great app for my kids. Before the addition of being able to watch the Live Stream this app was a 5 star review. Since the update the app no longer loads. I ended up doing a factory reset and declining the update so that we could still use the app. The Roku version of this app has similar problems since the update. It would be nice if the program could support the Live Stream but it cannot. Another request would be to turn off auto play. The shows will just play one after another which becomes an argument with my child when I tell him to only watch one show. Blocking certain shows would be nice as well, because we don't allow Caillou in our house.

I have always been a fan of PBS even since I was little. The question I have is why don't you have classic shows like Mister Rogers, 321 contact and other classics like those?
