“Discovery Plus is amazing!”

JOEY C.
4/3/23

I've had discovery plus since it was released. Although I watch the I.D. Channel most of the time all of the other channels offered are great also. The murder tapes and signs of a psychopath are can't miss series. Discovery Plus is awesome it's well worth the money I spend every month on it. I have the ad free version...I can't live without it. I'm my opinion best bargain for the money with all the amazing content you get. Awesome job discovery keep it up with all of your amazing programs

“Time to give UP!”

Now I give up! What's the point of airing episode 1 of a program and then continuing the day after with episode 5? Where will the missing episodes 2.3.4 go? Will they be shown in a few months or show at all? Talentless TV channel! Hire people who know how to run a channel to retain customers. This is getting stupid. Thank you.

The app is trash. Doesn't gave anything good or valuable I can invest in, the app doesn't work well either. And to top it off the company itself doesn't reapect art either! Cause David Zaslav is a baffling moron!

Don't waste your time on Discovery+ people! Their programming isn't that good and their CEO is a massive douche and everyone that works there are soulless scumbags.

$#*! David Zaslav and $#*! Discovery! Warner Bros was better without them!

I've had Discovery channel since the very beginning. I pay monthly through my Roku app. Now I'm wondering if I should cancel it. Nothing new is on none of the channels. HGTV should be called House Hunters TV cos that's the only time you see a new episodes all other shows are far and in-between with a new season...all the good shows are cancelled like Good Bones and many other. Barbies Dream House was a joke worst show they could have put on TV, makes you wonder who's approving these new shows...there are so many more of the so called new shows that are not good. I've watched every channel on the Discovery TV app and there's no new seasons of anything...what happened! What am I paying for! I'm so disappointed...I really love Discovery TV but I feel I'm wasting money and it's time to let it go.

I used to watch a lot of the shows on this channel, but it's just all gone to "$#*!"! With food shows? & what made the automotive channel good to view, now? Is such rubbish! With 200 meter redneck drag racing shows? It's like all the punters running this channel have no idea what they are doing? Like a dead horse you keep flogging with that fat British used car sales man who gets cars for penny's & restores them for less penny's? Is such Bull$#*!! Where you average person may get a deal buy, once or twice "Ever"? But to score them all the time? & pump them out like an assembly line? Is just such dreaming "crap"! So all up? The Turbo channel (as known in Australia)
Has got so far from it's mission, where you "wankers" slap on total $#*!! Like bar-b-q shows? You've all lost the plot! Where myself & my friends, workmates, & strangers I've spoken to, all have stepped away from This stupid channel, which in some case's, have nothing to do what so ever with the auto intrests. & just letting you clowns know that just by what I'm seeing? Anyone interested in cars, trucks, & bike's? Don't turn your crap on to watch anymore, but like me goes online to watch more specific auto type interests, because you wankers have no clue what gear head's want, & to fill it up with loud mouth rednecks, wanting to con, trick, & mislead their oppents? Where you actually think your supplying good automotive TV? You should also include yourselves along side these hillbillies in these rubbish auto drags Hatfield v Mcoys stupid shows! Where for me? I've stepped away from your automotive channel, which really is a cooking channel has well? But glad to be rid of your rubbish channel!

I'm done with discovery. They seem to have canceled the best show there ever was. Street outlaws, me and all 18 of my family members are canceling our subscription and not watching anymore. The new director is awful and does not know how to play what people like..

Tired of the lagging freezing having to restart constantly. Then you contact them and they tell you its your internet speed. I have 3 different wifi connections all are high speed and have no other issues but discovery plus. Bad customer service and crappy app. Isn't worth the money and the crappy service making me feel like i don't know how to run my apps. Only reason i gave it one star was cause it wouldn't let me not have no stars.

Paid for Discovery Plus no commercials months ago. Just me and two dogs, they are not on tablets...
Same old tired polar bear programs, love them, but not to watch over, and over again. Have Cox high speed internet, continuous buffering is stupid. I work from home. Six open internet pages all day, soft phone, work chat, no problems. Try to watch a program on this channel, buffering. Buffering. Buffering continuously. Cancelling my account.

No one wants to watch old, fake lifetime movies. Paying for nothing! New episodes, where? Watching the same thing over and over. Other platforms have the same shows for free. Don't waste your money on this app. There are only a handful of shows that have newish shows that provide new episodes weekly. Other than that you'll be watching shows from 2010. There's nothing new or watchable that's worth paying for.

This is the ONLY cloud based channel that buffers, lags and freezes. The menu system lags. Clicking to move around the interface, there's an annoying delay. This is very frustrating. I wish they would hire someone from Netflix to correct their issues because there is absolutely zero reason for the lag other than poor programming. I can't justify spending money on this channel anymore until they fix this very simple flaw. I have 1 gb internet and never have these issues with Netflix, Amazon or any other streaming service i've tried.

When I signed up we could watch the program before it aired on regular television. Now it's like a week behind. I would like a refund. If the network can't provide what was promised at time of signing up.

My wife and I have been watching D+ for 2 years. Tons of programs 2 picky people can watch together. Housing, Rentals, Vacation, Food, How-to, etc. We rarely have a buffering issue. Not sure why you would be $2 stingy and only pay for the version with commercials. I hate sports and drama and my wife hates sci-fi and history so this works for us. Yes, lots of older seasons so... pick something else if you don't like it. For the price just seems like a great deal to me. We watch D+, Netflix, Amazon which covers everything we could possibly watch.

Disco+ does not perform like Netflix. It pretends there is no Internet connection when every other device on the house works. In addition, if you want it for gold rush type programmes, it is not showing series 15 of bering sea. Apparently it is due to acquisition rights. As soon as an alternate provider carries bering sea series 15, I'm out.

Terrible. Shows the same commercials EVERY 10 minutes and then sometimes 5 mins. Glad I had a 7 day free trial to see just how pitiful it is!
Discovery Plus... should be Commercials-R-Us.
Not good and certainly not worth $5 a month!
Good Bye Discovery Plus (Minus)

Generation drag? Your network is pathetic and absolutely awful, my entire family this includes 5 homes that was paying for discovery + is dropping discovery + instantly. You people at discovery are sick. You now have a show called Generation drag that is exploiting mentally ill children, you sick perverts are glorifying very confused children. This is going viral and you will see just how many people are about to drop discovery +... you people at discovery are absolutely sick...

Some shows I what on discovery are being moved to discovery +. I already pay for Discovery in my cable package but to take shows away and hold them hostage is wrong,. If I want to continue to watch I have to pay even more. I just will take the discovery channels out of my lineup so I no longer will get caught in this trap. Don't pay extra or they will feel there is nothing wrong with this behavior.

I have kept my discovery plus's so I could watch season 4 of expedition Bigfoot. As it has not shown up, I googled to see when it would. IT IS NOT AVAILABLE ON DISCOVERY PLUS. You must have a cable tv service or a different pay service but NOT DISCOVERY PLUS, even though travel channel is part of discovery. What a rip off. Good by discovery plus. I don't need to give you money for no services that are useful to me.

So discovery plus sucks. I'm constantly having to turn my tv off because the app freezes and I cant even navigate through the app to pick a show. There's constant buffering and freezing while shows play when you finally get the app to work. Hulu, Netflix, etc work just fine on my tv- no buffering, lagging or freezing so it's not a WiFi issue on my end. It just sucks and it's so frustrating. Not worth it at all. Would give it zero but that's not possible so I give it a 1.

We were unsatisfied with Discovery Plus and tried to cancel. Spent over an hour on the phone with customer service. They were no help at all. They finally told us we would have to contact our credit card company to cancel. This cost us time and money.THIS SERVICE IS A SCAM!

You can't stream as much as you want. You can only see selected episodes and there aren't many of them. I have never gone to the app in over a year. I cancelled 11/21 and I'm still being billed 5/22. Too sad!
