Discovery failed me and us as watchers. My main show is Deadliest catch and to find out about josh harris OMG. I'm a victim myself I was raped at the age of 3 yrs old and ik what I went thru and dealt with fought those demons I'm still fighting. I started watching Deadliest Catch when it cam out 2006. Josh Harris Phil harris jake harris were my main fans. Discovery negligence on doing background checks on these people allowed fans to love and care for a child rapist. Discovery and travel u disgusts me.
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.
Constant freezing, buffering, lagging. This only happens on Discovery + and my internet is high speed fibre optic so thats not the problem. Now i know why it only £3 odd a month.
I've been checking food Network and a lot of the shows are so far ahead than what you get for Discovery plus which makes me think why do I even have this if I don't get to watch what I want from other channels that I pay for. If things don't change and it isn't updated with all the shows that should be updated and all the shows and food Network that are not on Discovery Plus is crap so I'm warning people that if you are going to get this station you're going to have all kinds of reruns and that's it it never updates the shows from food Network so I'm just telling you to beware before you pay for this channel that doesn't offer anything to you. Yeah
Why would they Educate sharks to go to pig island. I love shark week I love learning about sharks and I hate that they're exposing the Bahamas and pigs. This shouldn't be introduced... To tourist nor sharks. Jm
I think those that are woke definitely understand what this channel is about. Even the colours of the sign are a giveaway although im not just talking about that. Keep your kid's away if you want them to think for themselves and not be influenced and brainwashed by all this. Netflix too. Both owned by very demonic people.

Discovery channel
As per mention above subject, I Daly watch your channel at least 3 to 4 hour per day. But it's very harassing many of programme is repit frequently like man vs wild, nacked and added. Can if possible please show the icon "R" repit episode it's very good for us because we save our time to watch other programme of your channel groups.
Please solve this problem.
With warm regards

Crappy, unbealiveably slow app. When it works its ok otherwise pure trash. Discovery really dropped the ball on this one! On my phone it works but on the TV its just loading... FIX THIS CRAP. WE PAYING FOR THIS!
Who is running things over at the DiscoveryPlus App? So they have the same things to watch and once you're done watching them, then you watch them again. Sometimes they have a few shows that are new and sometimes they have a few new episodes from certain shows. But every week when the new episodes should be listed, half the time they are not. I do like a few shows on this app and i pay every month for them. So when I wait every week to watch them i expect a new episode, when they say, "new episodes every Thursday". They need new shows and also should do what they say they do.
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!
So, Love and Marriage Huntsville comes on every Saturday… it is TUESDAY NIGHT going onto WEDNESDAY & they still have not posted the newest episode! NOT ONLY THAT! Amazon prime has the newest episode available BUT GUESS WHAT!? YOU HAVE TO MAKE A WHOLE NEW SUBSCRIPTION WITH AMAZON TO SEE THE SHOW! You can't link your already paid for Discovery+ account with Amazon Prime! I'm pissed!
I am appalled at your blatant support of the homosexuality community and your efforts to support "pride". I'm am not a homophobe (I have many male friends!) nor do I hate homosexuals... only their aberrant and immoral lifestyle. If they choose to live that way... that's their choice. But do not presuppose that the majority of your viewers support this lifestyle or appreciate you shoving it in our faces. The homosexuality community is not interested in my stance on moral issues nor am I interested in having their lifestyle, morals and community repeatedly pushed on me. Please reconsider your ways before it's too late.
Easy to sign up for but complicated to cancel. LGBTQ friendly too. Garbage channel in my opinion. Many more reasons to stay away. Don't want to waste my time. Hated it.
Their commercials are the definition of propaganda. This should be illegal. Especially when they aren't explicitly stated that they are political. When I look up who they are sponsored by it's some real shady stuff going on.
It's distracting from the actual shows when the same commercial comes on every 5 minutes. I feel like we're being brainwashed.
We are cancelling this as soon as we can.
*UPDATE* Partner has kept the service to watch something in particular. Now it has moved on to a different commercial, but 3x in a row during each commercial break. The worst. Can't wait until this show is watched so we can cancel.
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)
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.
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...
Started watching my usual show but instead on 1 min commercials they wer 3 mins and then after 45 min it started my completely over Not happy.
More commercials than shows. And the same commercials two and three times in a row. Obviously they stop caring about their viewing audience
