Discovery Channel Reviews Summary

The company faces significant criticism regarding its streaming service, particularly for a lack of timely content updates and excessive repetitive commercials, which detract from the viewing experience. Customers express frustration with app performance issues, such as buffering and navigation delays, alongside poor customer service experiences that fail to resolve these technical problems. While some users appreciate the available content, the overall sentiment leans negative, with many considering cancellation due to perceived value issues and dissatisfaction with programming decisions. There is a clear need for improved customer support and a reassessment of content delivery to enhance user satisfaction.

I've been watching Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch. Until recently, the background special effects (also known as annoying sounds) were minimal. They have ramped up the "noise," which not only cheapens the program, but also makes it impossible to hear the characters talking. I will stop watching it.

I purchase Discovery + to get TLC for 90 Day Fiancé. They will not upload the current tell all for Happily every after. Why pay for this service when current episodes are withheld

The shows are good, but how many teeth whitenings do you really want to see? Yesterday it was 11 commercials. Yes, in a row. Today it's 12. I'm not seeing this system working for very much longer. So if you love commercials or happen to need a shower in the middle of watching about the Caribbean, this is for you. All others, look elsewhere.

I watch discovery every day and pay for discovery+ if you are not go to air npk season 6 at least tell your customers. Only reason I pay for discovery + is for npk and new street outlaws. At least make a statement about it.

Turbo channel
March 14, 2024

I used to watch a lot of the shows on this channel, but it's just all gone to "$#*!"! With food shows? & what made the automotive channel good to view, now? Is such rubbish! With 200 meter redneck drag racing shows? It's like all the punters running this channel have no idea what they are doing? Like a dead horse you keep flogging with that fat British used car sales man who gets cars for penny's & restores them for less penny's? Is such Bull$#*!! Where you average person may get a deal buy, once or twice "Ever"? But to score them all the time? & pump them out like an assembly line? Is just such dreaming "crap"! So all up? The Turbo channel (as known in Australia)
Has got so far from it's mission, where you "wankers" slap on total $#*!! Like bar-b-q shows? You've all lost the plot! Where myself & my friends, workmates, & strangers I've spoken to, all have stepped away from This stupid channel, which in some case's, have nothing to do what so ever with the auto intrests. & just letting you clowns know that just by what I'm seeing? Anyone interested in cars, trucks, & bike's? Don't turn your crap on to watch anymore, but like me goes online to watch more specific auto type interests, because you wankers have no clue what gear head's want, & to fill it up with loud mouth rednecks, wanting to con, trick, & mislead their oppents? Where you actually think your supplying good automotive TV? You should also include yourselves along side these hillbillies in these rubbish auto drags Hatfield v Mcoys stupid shows! Where for me? I've stepped away from your automotive channel, which really is a cooking channel has well? But glad to be rid of your rubbish channel!

I'm done with discovery. They seem to have canceled the best show there ever was. Street outlaws, me and all 18 of my family members are canceling our subscription and not watching anymore. The new director is awful and does not know how to play what people like..

Time to give UP!
February 7, 2024

Now I give up! What's the point of airing episode 1 of a program and then continuing the day after with episode 5? Where will the missing episodes 2.3.4 go? Will they be shown in a few months or show at all?
Talentless TV channel!
Hire people who know how to run a channel to retain customers.
This is getting stupid.
Thank you.

Repeat of the same dumb commercials again and again during every show! You could be watching something you are so in to that is serious. Then you hear Suddenly (I am so excited this is demolition!) And the whole mood is ruined instantly! You don't want commercials pay waaaayyyyy more! So it ruins the experience you want to just yell read the darn room people seriously!

The app is trash. Doesn't gave anything good or valuable I can invest in, the app doesn't work well either. And to top it off the company itself doesn't reapect art either! Cause David Zaslav is a baffling moron!

Don't waste your time on Discovery+ people! Their programming isn't that good and their CEO is a massive douche and everyone that works there are soulless scumbags.

$#*! David Zaslav and $#*! Discovery! Warner Bros was better without them!

What happened!
December 20, 2023

I've had Discovery channel since the very beginning. I pay monthly through my Roku app. Now I'm wondering if I should cancel it. Nothing new is on none of the channels. HGTV should be called House Hunters TV cos that's the only time you see a new episodes all other shows are far and in-between with a new season...all the good shows are cancelled like Good Bones and many other. Barbies Dream House was a joke worst show they could have put on TV, makes you wonder who's approving these new shows...there are so many more of the so called new shows that are not good. I've watched every channel on the Discovery TV app and there's no new seasons of anything...what happened! What am I paying for! I'm so disappointed...I really love Discovery TV but I feel I'm wasting money and it's time to let it go.

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.

It's frustrating
July 10, 2023

I like the content, and that's about all. I watch mainly using my roku. It is the most frustrating paid app I use! There are a lot of ads and they are repetitive. The most annoying issue I have with this app is its inability to correctly save where I left off on a show. When I go to the continue watching section the shows are there but they are not where I left off, most of the time it's not even the same episode that I left on. Then I have to scroll/rewind/fastforward to try and actually find where I left off.
