I had not watched gold rush in quite some time. I switched to Discovery to see what was on and Gold Rush was on with the Hoffman's back digging for gold. It was great! I mean that sincerely watching these guys fumble around was better than the three stooges, Laurel and hardy, seinfeld, keystone cops. And I mean it with an enduring quality please keep these guys on it is awesome.

We signed up for discovery to watch one show we perused the site to see if we would be interested in watching more, we were not, to watch one show we were required to get a subscription, when we went to cancel there was no way to cancel apparently we signed up with Roku we hit the star button on Roku so we could manage subscriptions but there was no manage subscriptions choice, I emailed them several times and finally got one response back that said they were sorry to see us go but they would cancel it, one week later, today, they charged my account I am livid! I left a message on one phone number that I actually got through after researching phone numbers to get a hold of them and I emailed the person back who said they would cancel it, this is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I would never sign up for discovery again.

Also, I tried to post a review on the Better Business Bureau and I was not able to.

The quality of programming is atrocious. It appears they are catering to a rough and ready crowd who gleefully watch "Hicks" in the middle of nowhere or "Hicks" on wheels or Nuts lobbing balls at each other or a bunch of naked desperadoes striving to survive for no good reason. Many children are at home watching these supposedly educational channels. WHAT are they learning from these programs? Discovery Channel is in a RUT this is NEITHER educational NOR entertaining NOR entertainment. Start offering something interesting for the rest of us.

I primarily have discovery plus to watch street outlaws. It seems discovery has decided not to put On the night that they aren't any longer so I will no longer be giving discovery money for discovery plus

What the heck!
January 9, 2022

I have had discovery plus for a while and pay extra for no commercials. This season I went to watch new season of Mountain Monsters and it wouldn't load. Really? The only reason why I have it is to watch them. I might just cancel it!

Show Stopper
November 29, 2021

Discovery plus for who? I even had a promotion code that didn't work and it's not free and it's not even 99 cent Black Friday deals more like Black Friday Nightmare and there's password issues and at the end of day it's not worth installing on any app I was more than happy to get the ad free but I got nothing!

Mediocrity
April 14, 2023

Hey! Pay $7.00 per month for 10-15 year old featured programming. This service has become pedestrian, old and unmoving. Weigh 600-1,000 pounds tremendous programming. 90 day relationship, every ideation possible. Anything else, old reruns repackaged and stale. New program ms, lol, no idea what's renewed, but based on the app, how could you tell? Lazy, below average and unapologetic shows and if it's good it's gone. Get your $#*! together already. The Lee nails and Zafiropolous days seem terribly close again. Hey, have the app that you're paying for? Many new shows aren't sent there until after cable, another great way to treat those that freakin pay for it twice!

I reported this right from the beginning of my subscription and it still is not fixed a year later. Videos and ads are constantly cutting out, making it too frustrating to watch a video, I pay for this streaming channel and the ID channel is the only reason I did. I see new episodes of shows on the ID channel on YouTube which is free, and none of those episodes are on Discovery plus, which I pay for. It's a ripoff. Plus, I pay almost $80 for my Internet.

False promotions
November 29, 2021

Discovery plus is a faily new service here. I signed up about 5 or 6 weeks ago for 4.99. Last week they email me a black Fri promo it clearly said "resubscribe" for. 99cents for 3 months. When I tried to resubscribe it didn't work. When I contacted customer service they wouldn't honor it saying it was for new customers only. I argued that I'm a fairly new customer and that they emailed me the promo. They still wouldn't honor it. I don't have a problem with the content of the streaming service but more about their unethical business practice. It's not about the money but about the fact that they send me an offer and then say I can't have it. I hate companies that try to recruit new customers but treat their existing customer like crap. I cancelled
My subscription. They obviously don't care

I used to love watching Discovery networks. Now all they do is trash "shock" shows. From the molesting Duggars to "Sister Wife" nonsense, I can't even stand watching things like Motortrend TV due to the trashy promos. I know I used "trash" a lot in this review, but it's the best word to describe Discovery now!

Even on the most popular programs like ninety day fiancé half the time is repetition of past weeks' footage - not even re-edited just lazily copied over and over. It seems like a half hour so called " new " program is made out of a five minute conversation - and then we the audience are asked to sit through up to fifteen or sixteen interminable ads just to be bored to tears again.

I would never pay for Discovery plus - I'm actually thinking of giving up TV altogether due to lack of meaninful interesting programming. You're BORING me into getting a life lol even during Covid!

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

This app is a disaster
November 17, 2021

I've been using the Discovery Plus app on Roku since June and at first, it was OK, but the last month is a disaster; constant freezing and kicking me out of the app. One example - I was watching Ghost Adventures and got kicked out 5 times during that episode. I'm hoping Sling adds Animal Planet to their line-up, but even if they don't, I am very close to unsubscribing.

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

Advertisement

It's unthinkable that I know each and every ad by word. This tv program should really focus on changing up the advertisement selection they have. It's really upsetting!
