I absolutely LOVE the content available on Discovery +. Great variety in everything from gold mining and murder to baking and opal hunting. HOWEVER! I’ve set up a profile for my husband because, let’s be honest, he could care less about true crime. But he can’t ever reliably use the app. It keeps telling him to subscribe on his phone, won’t let him restore purchases and when he logs on using the same credentials as me it’s the whole subscribe now malarkey. I AM SUBSCRIBED!! Yep. My reaction is the same as when the self checkout keeps going on about an unknown item in the bagging area. Is this a single user subscription? Why bother with profiles then? Surely wholefamilies are not watching on a single device. Thank god I don’t have a smart tv that would drive me nuts going through this every day. Is there a way to upgrade so that a different person can actually use a profile? It’s immensely frustrating to say the least and has probably shortened my life by a good number of years from sheer rage. Terrific content. Hideous app.

So I was forced on to discovery+ instead of the Eurosport app since they are now under the same owner. Horrible to go from an app that basically worked to one that seems designed to frustrate you. Start watching something on the tv app and want to pick it up on the iPad? Yeah good luck with that, it doesn’t highlight the episode or remember where you were in it (at least for sports I haven’t watched any of the other content and wish I didn’t have to pay for it). Half the time when you leave the app and come back a few minutes later it doesn’t remember where you were in the match and you have to try and guess. You’ll also need to go find it again, no resume watching. Want to watch something that happened more than a couple days ago? Then your going to press view more endlessly. To go along with this it doesn’t neatly file things under events or into quarterfinals, semifinals etc. So you chose your sport and are then simply given things by date order. You can’t select for a specific tournament to watch the coverage from you either need to keep going backwards in time or come out of the section your in to be able to search for that event. There is no ability to watch Picture in Picture either so no watching a match while you browse the internet. Honestly I don’t really have anything positive I can think of to say about it at this point.

Reason for three star worked fine till made to resubcribe. WHY mess with something that wasn’t broken all you needed to do was update or remodel the old app, you have the tools to creat a new one why not work on the old app. When I downloaded the app it stated did I want to continue my subscription with the new app I clicked yes assuming it would carry over using the same date oh how wrong was I just re-subscribed @ my normal £4.99 got 7 day free trial renews 5th jan but now due to this I can’t watch ghost Adventures or other programs that fit in the category or being able to watch for £4.99. How long does it take to actually kick in the 7 day trial or will we have to be subjected to waiting the whole 7 days not being to watch anything until you get your money? This newer app just seems to be a huge money grab will be extremely p***ed if the app no longer works after resubscribing. Never fix what isn’t broken just because you have made it where you can watch via Xbox etc well that’s another thing when will the app be available for this in the UK rant over

I enjoy Discovery Plus as it has some fun stuff to watch such as 90-Day Fiance, Help My House Is Haunted, Darcey and Stacey, Trixie Motel, various Osbourne family shows, etc…but I just wish it had more content and fun shows to watch with the family or even alone. I think it’s worth the subscription fee as it is but more shows would make it even more worthwhile. I really hope Discovery Plus gets the rights to stream Trixie Motel season 2 as the first one was a surprising guilty pleasure. I do enjoy this streaming platform a lot and I hope they maintain its integrity as a good source of both trashy and quality entertainment. For that reason, I’m only giving it 4 stars but with more fun content and keeping the subscription fee at a reasonable price will make me give it 5 stars in the future. Please keep up the good work guys and don’t mess up a good thing! I’m a big fan of Discovery Plus!
