Love the app there is way to many ads and the ads are extremely long. I have to see 2 minutes of commercials just to watch anything. Every show has 5 commercial breaks and every commercial break is over 2 minutes long and at the end is another 2 minutes of ads. Now when the ads play for the 2 minutes it’s the same 1 ad playing over and over for the whole 2 minutes. I have seen the same Lincoln commercial every commercial break for the whole entire commercial break there’s no mix of commercial’s and needs less commercials

I’ve been an OWN app user for quite a while now however it’s getting to the point to where I’d rather not bother with the app at all. With a busy schedule, the connivence of being able to tune into my favorite shows at my own leisure is a great benefit. I enjoy tv and have a few cable apps downloaded to my phone however unlike the other apps OWN is the worst! The ads are ridiculous. I thought one of the benefits cable apps has to offer is limited to no commercials. OWN is the only cable app that plays up 8 commercials and frequently throughout the show. It takes away from enjoying the show on the app. You would think after paying for the network they would at least offer some type of benefit like other cable apps but no. Also, not to mention there is no 10 second rewind/fast forward option. So whatever you do do not rewind/fast forward to much because it’s a very strong possibility all those ads you had to patiently wait for to finish will pop back up for you to have to watch all 6-8 of them again. The app spares no pity for the watcher when it comes to the ads. The ads seem to be the most important aspect of the app. It’s possible that I could just be over reacting or possibly just beyond spoiled from the other cable apps that are just way better then the OWN app.

I came to the reviews to see if anyone else was having problems logging into this app when you put your cable provider in and it seems like a very common issue. The app freezes or the page just won’t load after you put in your cable information. I tried logging in on my IPad, Firestick and my phone and was finally able to log in on my phone after trying for almost an hour. I was so excited to be disappointed once again. Not only does this app have a ridiculous amount of commercials for one show, the app crashed in the middle of it and then logged out of my cable provider. Once again, the page froze up when trying to log back in. I have deleted and reinstalled the app 3 times and it still freezes after attempting to submit my cable information. I’m sad to say I’m deleting this app for good and would not recommend anyone downloading it and getting stuck in this big loop of logging in, the app crashing, logging you out then trying it all over again. I would honestly give this 0 stars if I could. 😡😡

I am home a lot working on various projects and like to have background noise so I watch a lot of the discovery apps. (I know OWN is. It necessarily a discovery brand but their app is the same format). Lately I’ve been watching own’s live daily and I enjoy it. My problem is with their commercials. They repeat the same commercials multiple times during a break and it’s gotten ridiculous! For example, currently a “Nissan sales event” commercial is playing and twice today I’ve seen it FIVE times during ONE commercial break! It literally played 3 times back to back. I’ve got the dang thing memorized and it’s barely lunch time! I’m so sick of seeing the exact same commercial!!!! This seems to be a problem across all the go apps I’ve used (tlc, Id, own..) and the only response I get from customer service is “I’ve forwarded it to our technical team”. That was in February! Nothing has changed. Sooo frustrated and over it!!
