Absolute Pathetic APP now, the latest update has made it more or less so annoying to use that you dont want to use it. Speeds are slow, tv guide gone so you cant plan what to watch, finding the sport... See more

Greedy money grabbers!!!!
As a massive fan of cycling I’ve been utterly horrified at the transparent level of sheer greed by this company! Hiking our subscription by over 300% and throwing all sports together in the same package as justification is a DISGRACE!!
I’ve no interest in watching any other sports OR paying over £30 a month to continue watching cycling!
They have damaged British cycling massively with this disgusting stunt!!!
SHAME ON YOU!!!!
The price hike from £6.99 p.m to over…
The price hike from £6.99 p.m to over £30.00 alone was a shocking and disgraceful move. I then subscribed to discovery plus Germany (which came at £6.63 p.m.) and used NORD VPN to access it. This worked well for many months before out of the blue it stopped working and error code 483 came up. Had an online chat about this with eventually a "human" at discovery plus. However thus led to no solution. She said, that discovery plus does not work with VPNs, despite me telling her it did (at least in the past). She just referred me to the discovery support site again and again. Regarding my now former access to German discovery plus streaming service via VPN she only commented "that sometimes unexpected things happen".What a cheek!!! I would not recommend this streaming service at that high price and as others mentioned the amount of adverts, to anyone.
Adverts😩 and they can’t even vary these.
Adverts😩 and they can’t even vary these.
Absolute garbage
Absolute garbage, terrible streaming, constantly saying it doesn't have internet connection and losing coverage, endless adverts every 10 minutes just at the wrong time and missing important parts of live action and the huge 500% price increase, absolute avoid these useless morons
Bloody adverts!!…
Sick of the frequent barrage of adverts. It's completely unnecessary & just plain greedy of the company to be utilising them, especially as I'm already paying additionally for this service! ... It is getting worse & has been infringeing more & more on my viewing as time has gone on (customer for a few years). Really sick of it now!
Don’t waste your time and money.
Don’t waste your time and money.
I Paid £32.00 to try.
The adverts are a continuous repetition. I was watching Paul Zhan and after just 6 minutes the adverts came on!! What a joke!
I cancelled immediately, Netflix basic package £5.99 includes ads. The ads on Netflix are not frequent and the longest ads break is 30 seconds. Ditch discovery it’s rubbish!!
Slow and full of ads
The platform is very slow, browsing takes ages. The programmes buffer frequently and at times a section keeps repeating, and I have to forward the video to skip it. There are more and more ads, and instead of one or two at a time, sometimes I get 5, 4 of which are the same. It’s becoming unwatchable.
Shoddy service that costs you £32 per month
Firstly, their TV app for LG is appalling. It's so incredibly slow, and some pages don't even load at all.
Secondly, their phone app won't cast content to Chromecast when it's just recently been uploaded to the app, even though you can watch in the app. Such a strange issue that I've reported many times and obviously they've done nothing about.
Thirdly, there have been many occasions where they've not uploaded a highlights show to their app despite loading every other one, and again when I raise this they do nothing. This happens with cycling that I've seen.
e.g. The Tour de France, the biggest cycling event and something TNT brags about having full access to. They upload 1h highlights to the app for each stage, but they miss out the final stage (21)?!?!? It's utterly incredible that a major platform like that, which costs £32 per month, can get away with it. I've raised complaints, complained on "X", tried emailing Discovery, and they just say "thanks for your feedback" and don't actually resolve it. Why is it so hard to just upload the damn highlights show? Unreal.
Some great shows but repeating adverts…
Some great shows but repeating adverts over and over again one after the other. So annoying
Don't do it!
Don't do it!! Honestly such a shame as this platform has some awesome TV shows I would love to binge. Unfortunately this company are super greedy, money grabbing. It is advert after advert, every 5 minutes! I can honestly say we have ended up watching more adverts than the TV show itself. Not...worth it...I have been in contact multiple times and I get the same BS corporate response. Shame!
Why CANT THEY MAKE IT SIMPLE
Discovery plus are putting up their prices .. and offer TNT sport only at the old rate of £30.99 which i want .. But i go on line top try to change the plan ... Guess what yoiu cant its a total nightmare ive tried evertything WHY CANT THEY MAKE IT SIMPLE .. i can only talk to a Robot
In one word DON'T
In one word DON'T. The presenters are lovely of course. But £31 for add-packed coverage is disgraceful. Now let's say you view a Tour stage start at work over your lunch break to revisit it in the late afternoon. Well, suddenly your coverage has vanished, replaced with a frankly unwatchable 4-screen mess with no time signature. Why would you?
Absolute rubbish
Absolute rubbish. I think they deliberately disable the fast forward option so you have to watch mind numbing adverts which last longer than the actual programme you are trying to watch
Massive backward step
Discovery+ discontinued Eurosport. Irish customers can only get some of the old Eurosport content on TNT sports though Now TV or a TV subscription. Even with an expensive now TV subscription content is only available sometimes and only live - no catch up - even for highlights shows.
Awful, awful, awful - avoid
Awful, awful advert drivel. Paying £31/month for adverts - as soon as cycling over i’ll be cancelling. Was fine when had ad free option but thats now gone. Customer service no help, usual corporate response. Avoid if you can
The worst value for money service on…
The worst value for money service on the market!
Not only are they expensive but they still include ads and what they offer is, with some small exceptions, rubbish. Most people only want the sport but to justify the other rubbish you can only get the sport with the full package!!
They don't listen to or give a toss about their customers - the reviews here are an example of that - and as a whole they are just a horrible company ripping us off!
If you had to offer a sport only package or even a tennis, cycling, football, etc only package for a reasonable price then you may find a little more positivity.
This is all without going into their rubbish app!
Joke, do not pay for this!
I pay £31 a month for Discovery Plus, just to watch cycling. I have to watch ADVERTS. £31 a month to watch bloody adverts. I am only paying for July to watch The Tour. If they have adverts in the live coverage, it will be a disgrace!
10/10 for Discovery+
I love this app! It has everything i want to watch and more :) i have recommended it to loads of friends and family. Easy to use, streaming is rapid quick and updates frequently. Couldnt be happier 10/10! Highly recommend
Annoyed bike racing fan
I'm a motorcycle racing fan so, no real option other than discovery plus, to see motogp, sbk and bsb. The problem is they are so full of themselves for having all 3 (at a vastly hiked price over last year) that they can't stop themselves from boasting about it and, frequently when different disciplines are held on the same weekend, telling you the results of the series you're not watching. What other channel would do this? The races should be automous as, not everyone can watch all of them in one go. Yesterday's moto2 cut to England where the presenter without warning told me the result of a race I plan to watch one night in the week. Should I even bother now...... You can watch 2 screens at once, they proudly announce but who, realistically, wants to give neither screen their full attention? It's either worth watching or it's not, would you suggest watching 2 soaps simultaneously? Why is sport any different?
Did I mention that it's outrageously expensive in comparison to last year too? Thanks for that discovery
im paying £30.99 per month to watch…
im paying £30.99 per month to watch live sport
but it keeps dropping out and changing from one channel to another
im relying on discovery to explain whats going on
