HISTORY Vault app

HISTORY Vault is a subscription video service app offered by HISTORY. You’ll have access to hundreds of hours of historical shows, series and specials on topics including ancient civilizations, the World Wars, space exploration, and everything in between. The HISTORY Vault app is a monthly paid service that is independent of TV providers. The HISTORY Vault app is a streaming-only experience.

Device Compatibility
At this time, HISTORY Vault is available on iOS devices running iOS8.1 and above, and on AppleTV.

Download HISTORY Vault
For iOS devices: Download the app from the App Store. Go to your home screen and launch the app to get started.

Internet Connection
An Internet connection is required to watch HISTORY Vault content.

Subscribe to HISTORY Vault
In order to subscribe to HISTORY Vault, first install the app onto your iOS device. Then open the app, select “Start your free trial” from the options on the home screen, and follow the prompts. Sign-up is handled using the credit card associated with your iTunes account.

Cost of HISTORY Vault
The HISTORY Vault app is free to download and browse, but you can access all of HISTORY Vault’s great content for $5.49 per month after your 7-day free trial ends. Enjoy hassle-free billing via Apple iTunes; your subscription will auto-renew on a monthly billing cycle. You can cancel at any time.

Free 7-Day Trial
If you do not cancel by the last day of your free trial period, your account will automatically be charged the monthly subscription fee. A “day” is measured beginning at the time you start your free trial period and ending 24 hours later. (For example, if you start your 7-day free trial on Sunday at noon, the trial will end the following Sunday at noon.) The free trial only applies to first-time subscribers.

Playback Outside of Canada?
You have to be located in Canada to access HISTORY Vault content. Content will not stream if you’re traveling internationally.

Active Devices
With an active subscription, you can currently install and stream the HISTORY Vault app on an unlimited number of iOS devices.

HISTORY Vault Closed Captioning
HISTORY Vault supports closed captioning when available.

WIFI Connectivity Issues
Using the HISTORY Vault app over a WiFi connection is one of the best ways to ensure an optimal viewing experience. Unfortunately, other factors (including an intermittent network connection, slow network speed, or poor signal strength) can all contribute to lessened performance within the HISTORY Vault app.

Audio Playback With No Video
Our apps deliver video streams based on your connection speed. The faster your connection, the better the video quality. If your connection speed drops during playback, the video quality will be lowered until a better connection can be established. At extremely slow connection speeds you may receive no video at all and only hear the audio portion of the program. This is a result of your connection speed, but if you’re experiencing this problem frequently, you should call your internet provider.

Forgotten Username & Password
For iOS, please visit Apple support.

Unfortunately, Quebec residents are sometimes restricted from entering our contests due to regulations imposed by the Regie des loteries de Quebec (the provincial government body responsible for contests and lotteries).

However, we have, and will continue to include Quebec residents in our contests whenever feasible and we apologize for any inconvenience.
