The ads make it impossible for me to finish a show with how repetitive they're! And they're the most ridiculous shows they're advertising. I just cant . This is my second time trying to come back to... See more

I absolutely used to love their paranormal shows. What happened? Nothing new. They still show repeat and repeats of the same old shows. I've gotten to where I don't even watch Discovery anymore. Reall... See more

I had to go out after watching the first two hours of the Ashes second test, day 4. England had fought not to lose a wicket, so I was looking forward to continuing to watch the replay of the full day... See more

Appalling

Appalling. Most days I tried to watch the rugby recordings the videos simply wouldn't play. Contacted tech support. Useless and very frustrating - after 45 minutes of asking me stupid questions, with 5 - 10 minute waits between responses, and not seeming to understand the very basics of what I was asking for, I gave up. A waste of 31 pounds for a month of nothing.

ZERO STAR

ZERO STAR
My father passed away 9.7.24, I have emailed over 6 times, they have replied, I have informed that I cannot unfortunately find any info at all apart from the direct debit each month.....STILL havent cancelled service, nor refunded and STILL taking monthly subscriptions! I am disgusted with the lack of care and stress at an already very upsetting time. Each reply is a new person at D+, each time they promise to look into things and come back to me, they never do...they do not care at all about customers, especially going through a bereavement, SHAME on you Discovery + for being so cruel!

Fix my problem please.

This time is right. I've been having issues with discovery + (trying to get content), message on my TV screen for the past 3 months about 3 times a week and it's gotten worse. So frustrating. I did email customer service and gave them the needed information along with picture of message on screen. No answer. Help center says they will reply in 24 business hours. Do they? NO! Am I frustrated? YES! All I want is it to be fixed. Is that asking too much?

Unbelievable

Unbelievable, such poor Tech!!!
How can a sizeable business employ tech that is quite pathetic. Have you tried searching for anything such as a particular sport? Well, you will NEVER find it! And the layout of the search results simply confuses. How can a corporation exist with such poor technical ability? Often, the streaming just gets confused too. Come on guys, surely with the millions you pay for the screening rights - just spend a few quid on the tech! CST

Discovery Plus still sucks

Well, still waiting to hear from Discovery Plus since there is NO way to talk to them. All you get is a robot that can’t do a thing to help n you. Wow. Discovery Plus used to be a favorite of a lot of people, but not anymore, all bc of their sorry service. Take my advice. It’s not worth the hassle.

What a scam

What a scam - my wife signed for the olympics and they autoenrolled us in a £30.99/month plan we never asked or needed. Only discovered it now, 4 months into it.

Expensive way to watch reruns

1. They make it close to impossible to cancel the service. 2. The cost doesn't seem bad until you realize that you're paying to watch reruns and the commercials are frequent and very repetitive. 3. Discovery will show the same commerical back to back in the same commercial break period just to use up advertising time 4. You can sign up on your TV but if your want to cancel, you get bounced from TV to Internet to having to download the app just to cancel.

You pay for the service and then they…

You pay for the service and then they keep increasing the amount of adverts you have to watch they have hardly any new shows and often they are episodes behind.

It’s so much better just using freeview and funnily enough freeview has less adverts!!

I’ve cancelled my subscription and definitely won’t be using them again!

I love Discovery +, but…

I love Discovery +, my one beef (minus 1 star for annoyance!!): If you get the super cheap 99 cent ad-supported version, well, when it said commercial breaks, I thought there would be more than 1 commercial! This one same commercial for some stupid teen girly show plays every. single. time! I would not watch that show if you paid me JUST because of the hard in-your-face sell! Well, that and it looks dumb. Please, PLEASE! If nothing else get a couple more versions of that ad!! Geez!

On my television app it constantly asks us to sign in.
I just want to watch rugby matches but I can guarantee that every time I try it will always just be a nuisance.

Today I can’t sign in. I have been writing passwords and scanning qr codes but nothing happens. Why on earth do we have to have all this security rubbish. It’s complete overkill and spoils all the intended joy of watching anything. I am going to stop watching sport on TNT or Discovery whatever it is. It just is not worth it. It was easier in the days when you had to go up in the loft and adjust the aerial. This is just utter crap.

Dishonest

I mistakenly activated the discovery+ subscription via amazon prime video, and I promptly wrote to the discovery+ support team via the appropriate form on their website to have the cancellation of the service and the relative refund. After an exchange of emails in which I sent all the data requested to identify my account, in addition to the receipt of the purchase, they stopped answering me. After a week I sent a new email to urge, but no response, and today after many months I still have not received a response, nor obviously the refund. I want to add that the possibility of requesting a refund is expressed directly by discovery+ in the email they sent after the activation of the subscription. Cherry on top, Amazon did not accept my review because it was offensive (while there was nothing offensive in it, just like in this review)

Money wasted


Money wasted. They fill your show with ads about their show. If I want to know what to watch I'll search myself the same advert over and over it's frustrating. If you pay for a subscription it should not be riddled with adverts about their rage bait shows. I signed up for a 7 day free trial and they charged me immediately so I never got the free trial. The app itself is not user friendly and hard to navigate. Advice avoid avoid avoid.

Discovery Plus -is it a scam

Discovery Plus, is a scam in my opinion. They charge you for their service then make deals that the shows you want are CABLE EXCLUSIVES. And you can't watch them till after the season ends. What are you paying for? RERUNS? Most of these shows show up on YOUTUBE after the season ends for FREE!!! Again what are paying for? I cut the cable cord and now find out that Discovery Plus/Max Plus won't show a "CABLE EXCUSIVE" until after the entire season. Again what am I paying for??? And here's the best part, the show I want I can get on Travel Channel GO, I just need to sign back up for the Cable PIG!!!
