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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

I am a visual learner so I have always used close captioning on all of my movies, TV shows, etc. I installed the ad free Discovery Plus app on my 4k TV, phone and iPad. I only get a choice of CC in French. I have tried managing my profile, creating a new profile, using another family members profile and managing my account. I reached out to the developers a week ago with no solutions yet. Managing my account shouldn’t be this difficult!! I should be able to control the account on a PC or phone

Love all the programs but a terrible app! I paid for the ad free subscription but the shows skip every time in the spots that there would be an ad… Horrible. The email I signed up with and the email I’m paying with is entirely different than my login! The app used a family members email as the login instead of my own! It’s crazy how backwards this app is! The only saving grace is the programs.

I am so dissatisfied and disappointed on the performance of this app… it freezes on EVERY SINGLE AD!! I have to go back and resume EVERYTIME! ..not I what I would like to watch to when I’m paying for an app. I tried to go back and change the plan to the non ad and it’s like you are purposely not making easy… hoping that the add free one will not be glitchy.. if it is… then maybe you should take a look on how you build this app to perform.. if I can’t fix this I will have to unsubscribe… SHAME.

Worst experience. After every ad the shows glitch. Only app that does that. Super annoying. Tried to upgrade to ad-free (costs more). Totally willing to pay. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to do so… tried on TV subscription, in app, via Google Play, nada…. Worst experience ever. Loathe this app.
