2024-12-25	An*****	I love the shows that Discovery app offers .But the amount of commercials is insane .My commercials will lag and buffer on this app and not others .It's to the point it's absolutely annoying when you pay for the app .I quit a few months ago and came back it went from 2 commercials to now 4 .It's only getting worse .Please Discovery fix this or I'll be canceling again.

2024-12-23	ta*****	Great channel, HORRIIIIBLE APP! I have it on my TV and the app keeps loading and loading, dark screen. I'm seriously considering in unsuscribing. FIX Zthis issue PLEASE, it's a great channel. Stop taking our money and not investing in fixing it.

2024-11-23	St*****	Love Discovery+. Never had any issues and can find myself locked in for hours. My only complaint would be ads that I don't recall ever having. Would like to get rid of them with an ad-free option but haven't seen one yet. Until then, poor Josh Gates is gonna keep getting interrupted.

2024-11-17	Pa*****	Why pay for an app that doesn't work. Can't watch my favorites because every time it gets to the ad it stops working. Not talking about from my phone this happens through the TV. I've updated, I've restarted, junk. Why don't you get your admins/ techs to fix? Gold rush, bearing sea gold, missing my favorites.

2023-02-23	Ke*****	I took the free trial add supported for a week. The darn adds run in a loop over and over driving me insane. I decided to upgrade to the add free version. only 2 bucks so no big deal. I followed the instructions by cancelling the sub so I could upgrade. I am unable to upgrade to the add free version no matter what I try. It says the app will work till March 21st when it was scheduled to renew. I want this app and am happy to pay for it IF IT WILL LET ME!

2023-02-11	RC*****	CANNOT FIND ANY PLACE TO UPGRADE-soooo stupid!! I’ve wasted 30 mins bouncing back and fourth between my app on smart tv and my phone and now my downloaded discovery app and Google play and there is literally NOWHERE to upgrade my subscription. Each of these locations directs me to another location. I’m just going to cancel the account. So angry!! Have not even watched discovery in a year bcz I can’t upgrade to ad free-stupid stupid stupid. Rating -10

2022-11-24	Br*****	Got the subscription with the commercials and every time the commercials come in and it’s about to cut right back to the show the dram freezes but the show still continues with sound. Not very happy about this bc it’s a non stop reoccurring thing. I have to back out of the show and go back in to get it to unfreeze. Tried to change my subscription to the no commercials… that is a nightmare ans not easy to do ans I still haven’t been able to do it!

2022-09-21	La*****	Annoying problems with this app and Google TV. Whenever a new episode of a program is available, this app sends every last show that you've ever watched into the "continue watching" feed. Even after you watch the one new episode, the other shows have to be hidden each time. Same problem happens again the next week. It hijacks the continue menu. The "skip intro" also doesn't work. It's highlighted, but when you press it, it activates pause instead.
