User Reviews

Users praise HGTV GO for its broad library of HGTV shows and the ability to stream on mobile, including content linked to a TV provider. However, recurring complaints center on ad overload, provider authentication problems, and uneven content availability, with shows disappearing from the home screen or being locked behind subscriptions. Additional pain points include overall app lag, navigation glitches, and casting/connectivity issues, which sometimes surface after updates. Despite the strong catalog and on-the-go access, these issues significantly hamper the viewing experience for many users.
Pros
  • Large, diverse library of HGTV shows available to stream, including popular titles.
  • Ability to stream HGTV content on mobile, including when linked to a TV provider.
  • Fans enjoy watching renovation and house-hunting shows on the app (e.g., House Hunters, Home Town, Love It or List It).
Cons
  • Excessive ad breaks and an ad-heavy viewing experience.
  • Frequent provider login/authorization problems and repeated re-link prompts.
  • Content access inconsistencies: shows not appearing, not found in search, or locked behind subscriptions.
  • App performance and navigation issues, including lag and difficulty returning to the Home screen.
  • Casting/connectivity issues (e.g., Chromecast) and update-related access errors.

Used to enjoy this channel but now it’s the same old stuff - slow turnover of shows! ALSO, now it’s full of gaming/online casino ads that cheapen what used to be a great app to watch!!

Although I linked the app to my tv provider which includes HGTV, I am unable to watch locked content. I receive error message indicating that my provider does not have the channel, which I watch constantly on my tv.

I downloaded this app to my Samsung TV. It's horrible! Here's why... - In watching an HGTV program, as well as in the myriad of commercials, the sound/voices do not synch up with the mouths moving! Like watching a poorly dubbed Japanese movie or show. Uninstalling and reinstalling/restarting TV and app does NOT fix the problem. The voices speak before the mouths move even on the ads. - Can't get back to "Home" screen. Whatever HGTV show I watched last, is what appears on screen the next time I use the app. I see nothing to click on the screen or on my remote to get back to main home screen to choose a different show. Again, uninstalling/reinstalling and restarting TV and app does not resolve the problem. NOTE::: Because I can’t get back to Home Screen to choose a different show, I do not know if the problem with the audio not matching up to the mouths is a problem with ALL shows and ads, or just the episodes of shows I’ve been watching (entire Season 1 and Season 2 of “My Lottery Dream Home” - Lots and lots of commercials!! At least 18 commercials for only a 30 minute show, which of course cannot be fast-forwarded/skipped in an app. Going to delete this app and hope that down the road, it is updated to work correctly.
