Disrespects customers
January 12, 2021

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.

Discovery Channel and discovery plus is no longer safe for families, especially children. Discovery now has a pornography series called Naked and Afraid with love which shows naked people having sex. This is pornography. They advertise this even on their channel with images of it. Do not get discovery plus if you are looking for family safe content.

This is the official website of the Discovery Channel. You can watch episodes, get additional information on topics which they've covered and more. The videos and photography are great. Love this site!

Tv rip off
April 10, 2021

Taking shows normally on regular channels and putting them on a pay streaming channel is crap!
A lot of these shows are going to be unfollowed and forgotten. Your shoving it down our throats by all the advertisements and overlays sucks and drives us the other way.

Really tired of 'Naked and Afraid'. The channel needs an upgrade, it's the same ole story. And what's so making me want to change the channel, is while watching a program, it's inundated with promos of othe programs to be aired sometime in the future, which I think is not a necessary act. Why, because who watch the channel already know what they want to watch, and it's air time, so why waste precious airtime doing those promos so many times an hour?

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...

Bearing Sea Gold
December 14, 2022

I am a big fan of Discovery Channel, i been following all shows and have been bothered with Bearing Sea Gold show. The Kelly family are not good role models for the show, we dont want to encourage violation for hard working gold miners. Not good for the show and hopefully sanctions be impose.

What the heck?
June 22, 2022

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!

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.

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.

Naked and afraid. What are you idiots thinking. What a dumb show. Who ever thought of this stupid show should be fired. I stopped watching your Chanel after this show came out. This use to be a great Chanel to watch. Now it sucks.

This is the worst viewing app ever. They literally have 6-8 commercials every 3 minutes no joke at all. A 22 minute show is 42 minutes. When they return from the commercials they replay the last 45 seconds before the commercials. The shows are all old. Don't waste the money

It sucks
June 3, 2022

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.

Never works
November 14, 2022

Your service never works always down. Why is this? I can never watch my shows at my convenience. That is the whole point of having you stupid app. I want my money back for the past year of service. I can never watch it anyway. T.V. Nor phone.

Like everything "woke", the message is rammed down the throat of the viewer with a constant carpet-bombing of left-wing ideology mixed with continuous advertisements for the "plus" service. Even though most of the advertisements between content is pushing the "plus" service, Discovery feels the need to plaster ads within the content. Often times the in content ads block most of the screen. I pay extra for the tier which contains the Discovery content, now that content is being corrupted by Discovery. To me, this is a breach of contract. I purchased the right to see clean content without embedded advertising. Discovery is deliberately reneging on that agreement. As for the hate America first content, move to Cuba if you like living under a socialist dictatorship. I like my freedom and I respect the great history of America.

Queen of Meth
May 13, 2021

Why would discovery thinks its okay to put a show on about a meth dealer like she was selling flowers? There is nothing funny or cool about a drug dealer who ruins lives not only of the person buying but the families who have to deal with the aftermath of a addicted love one. She was and is a loser yet Discovery channel wants to idolize and pay her for mostly likely thousands of overdoses! What a pathetic show to air!

Marketing Bullies
June 6, 2021

The Discovery Channel has "discovered" the worst of the worst ability to annoy and incense viewers of some of their programs with incessant, long, tedious and monotonous promos of their steaming service that seem to be shown every moment of every day. Buy from one of their "stars"--no way. They ought to be ashamed of themselves as they lower themselves to the standards of greedy management and the intolerable "plus" service that isn't even that good.

Aggravated!
May 7, 2022

I have three little ones. We loved,
(LOVED)(past tense!) watching Discovery!
But then, the nasty, propagative, sexual comerciales come on! ("Naked & Afraid" being one of the Worst ones!) And my children get uncomfortable and ask a million and one questions! They just get flat out GROSSED OUT! I don't think you should have the stupid advertisement for all those shows, like you do. Save those kinds of things for better timing, or maybe an Adult Chanel!?! It's bull trying to have a family evening and naked people pop up, literally almost every single comercial!
I'm not the only person who feels this way. And honestly, it's a huge reason you're losing viewers!

Rapist on the show
July 26, 2020

How is it certain people make racial slurs and are taken off the air such as Roseanne, and a great show like Dukes of Hazzard for doing nothing compared to the rapist Mike Tyson. But Tyson raped someone and he is on the Tyson vs Shark week. I think Discovery should be ashamed to have a predator like him on tv.
