Yes. The app and website experience are completely integrated. This means that the settings you select on PBS.org will surface when you open the app and vice versa. For example, if you are signed in to PBS.org on your computer and add a show to your Watchlist, and then open the PBS app on your phone or other device, that show will also appear on your Watchlist in the app.   Features are only consistent if you are logged in to both the app and your computer with the same login information. If you log in to PBS.org on your computer using your Google account, you must log in to the PBS app with the same Google account information. Related topics: Is the PBS app free?

The PBS app is currently supported on iOS 9.0 or later. To see what iOS your device is operating on, open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad > General > About. You will see a number listed on the right of Version indicating your device's iOS. You can also tap Settings > General > Software Update to see if updates to your iOS are available, however as Apple devices become older, Apple will be unable to provide your device with the latest iOS and your device will show no updates available.

Once you are on the PBS.org website you can do just about everything you can do with the app. You can sign in, create a Watchlist, view your TV schedule, and of course view many of the PBS shows you love.  Related topics: Is the PBS app free?

While over-the-air broadcasts reach beyond U.S. borders, online video is subject to geo-filtering, which restricts the areas that can view PBS content. PBS is legally obligated to ensure each show does not exceed its granted rights, which unfortunately eliminates international streaming ability for some PBS shows outside the U.S. We regret not being able to offer our supporters all of our online content.
