About 7 per ad segment. *2025-05-02, version 9.2.0* Way too many ads. About 7 per ad segment. I stomach it when watching about big cats, but it became too much. Especially when I pay for directtv. When I rewind to want to hear again or missed a part, it triggers the ads again I just watched. ### 4/5 — Robert Irwin is such a cutie patootie *2025-04-13, version 9.2.0* Really he is and people don’t get much better than an the Irwin’s 🦘🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️ ### 3/5 — Animal Planet shows *2025-01-06, version 9.0.1* Please show NEW episodes of “The Zoo” and “Dr. Jeff.” ### 2/5 — Animal Planet *2024-05-20, version 8.47.0* the Elephant app ### 5/5 — dog breed questions if you have a new breed *2024-05-20, version 8.47.0* pitneesee half caramel coat of mom and not good for allergic people to dogs because it sheds alot if you raise a litter of these dogs i will say i know someonewill want to the dogs i raised even smarter ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!!🤩😍 *2024-05-16, version 8.47.0* I love this app because I can watch monsters inside me and I love that you don’t have to have a account to use this and it’s completely free ### 5/5 — Pitbulls and parolees *2024-04-06, version 8.45.0* Pitbulls and parolees mean a lot to me and other people who loves dogs should watch it! ### 5/5 — Animal Planet *2024-03-20, version 8.45.0* Makes me feel right at home with Tarzan’s animal friends in action to be very adorable and shows how to bring unity and class a clarity to the senses to open up the world of love and natural forgiveness. That’s why it feels right at home. ### 3/5 — DAZN and animal planet go are both 3 stars *2024-03-18, version 8.45.0* Do Puppy Bowl XX and 100% of Rotten Tomatoes ### 3/5 — Adds *2024-01-28, version 8.37.0* I think that there are way too many adds.

LAME. Not only that, I have to pay two subscription fees because of the varience in shows residence yt others are on all theee platforms. to top it all off, I need to sign in to the Free on every week because why??? shot app service getting 1 star because I cannot leave zero ### 1/5 — Waaaaaay too many ads *2023-09-07, version 8.33.2* Watching Monsters inside Me. There were so many long ads I had to sit through, and when it resumed, it didn’t pick up at the spot I had left off. So I fast forwarded, only to sit through another set of ads. No thanks. ### 1/5 — Will not download to phone *2023-03-16, version 8.21.0* App will not download to my iPhone 13 after repeated tries ### 1/5 — Will not recognize Directv as provider *2022-02-14, version 8.0.3* Wate of time. ### 1/5 — Can’t watch anything with Hulu *2021-11-03, version 8.0.2* I have tried to watch multiple shows but it’s wanting me to log to Hulu which I do not have so I can’t watch anything ### 1/5 — Can’t watch *2021-10-17, version 8.0.1* After being able to watch my favorite shows, all of a sudden it won’t recognize my dish subscription which includes these channels. I clicked on help, but it was no help at all. ### 1/5 — Shouldn’t have to pay twice *2021-10-15, version 8.0.1* I pay cox cable an exhorant amount for cable and now I have to pay $4.99 and up if I miss a show or want to see one I used to watch but now I can’t because it’s on a streaming channel. This is too much!!! I’m on a fixed income, disability, and anyone who is trying to live on what they pay after you’ve worked your whole life and paid into it knows you don’t get enough to subsist on. My subscription with Cox is going to be canceled. I won’t pay them twice for the same thing, they rob you with their prices the first time around and now they try to get more out of you. ### 1/5 — Finding Bigfoot *2021-10-07, version 8.0.1* Why did you remove most of the Finding Bigfoot episodes? I loved them and watched them all the time. Please add them back! ### 1/5 — Pathetic App *2021-09-25, version 8.0.0* It will not link to my provider at all. ### 1/5 — constantly freezes *2021-07-23, version 7.9.2* Iwill be watching a show and when ad appears, the ads will freeze. Had one episode where ad appeared and didn’t start playing for another 40 minutes. Spent countless hours watching shows only to have the ads constantly freeze to the point of force quitting the app and still the freeze continues no matter what internet provider I use. This app is just as bad if not worse than discovery go. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-05-09, version 9.5.0* Animal planet is a really good streaming option for free.
