I love history, so this has been a great find. Although I've only had time to watch a couple of shows so far, I'm looking forward to exploring it further soon. Good, simple platform and great content.... See more
AVOID AT ALL COST. Absolutely dreadful experience after receiving a gift subscription. No email/code arrived as per their website to enable setup. Ten days after it was supposed to start, nothing at... See more
Terrible. I signed up in December and never received an email despite being charged. I wrote support and they were confused…then just stopped writing me. But, they never stopped charging me. I logged... See more

Very confusing subscription process and sporadic support from help desk
If I could give negative stars, I would.
Will not respond to support emails.
No access to account, says it doesn't exist.
Still having my PayPal debited.
No response to issue raised with PayPal, and it's been days.
Looks like my only option is to cancel my card.
Piece of s*#t company, who doesn't respond or give access, yet is happy to take your money. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I can log into access.historyhit.com but not historyhit.com. When trying to cancel my subscription on access.historyhit.com I keep getting an error message saying it cannot cancel my subscription. I have emailed support and they are saying that they cannot see my email registered with an account, but they can quite easily take £7.99 a month out of my account no problem. I have explained my situation again and have had no response.
I have had to result to contacting my bank to put a block on the recurring payment. I would avoid subscribing at all costs. I have never known a subscription service that does not let you cancel.
Cancelled my subscription in December 2023 yet they are still taking money from my bank. Dont answer emails satisfactorily. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE.

The very first review I read here is my experience exactly. I can't access the site, therefore I can't cancel my subscription. I mean, who wants to pay for something they cannot use? I've sent 5 emails, no response. I'll be looking for a full refund... if I EVER get a response!
Same problem as many others. I paid for subscription, got no free trial period and no access, customer service is absolutely DREADFUL and am still awaiting reimbursement 5 weeks later. Unless you feel like just giving them.money for free, avoid at all costs.

I'm dissapointed about the content on History Hit, IMO much better content available on Youtube premium with hundreds of Time Team episodes and other stuff.
Also the cancellation process on History could be easier.
I subscribed to History Hits and I could not easily access the channel so I cancelled my 14 day trial the next day.
I tried again using a different email address but still had a problems. I once again cancelled the subscription by contacting the support line the next day.
History Hits have taken two subscriptions from me, despite numerous emails.
They did say in one of their replies that they would cancel one of the subscriptions, I said thanks but I also want the second one done.
Today no money has been returned.
I am a pensioner and I can ill afford to have £120 taken out of my bank in this way. They have failed to honour their 14 day trial offer and I feel that I have been scammed.

This is a superb range of history podcasts….ideal for long car journeys or for any spare moment really….the great hosts bring history to life….lots of detail and anecdotes….love it
I love history, so this has been a great find. Although I've only had time to watch a couple of shows so far, I'm looking forward to exploring it further soon. Good, simple platform and great content. It's very UK/Europe-focused though, so I hope to see more international content added too.
