I just pulled it up on my TV. But the App won’t let me access All Star Workouts and gives a message saying the videos are only available if you have a cable subscription that includes Discovery Life, which I do! This worked fine a couple of weeks ago, but now it won’t. Frustrating :( ### 4/5 — Discovery Go *2018-08-09, version 2.13.0* It’s a great app with great shows and I love how i don’t have to sign into my TV provider to use it although I hate the commercials ### 2/5 — Unable to view certain shows *2018-08-09, version 2.13.0* I just don’t get why you block certain shows, especially the medical shows. Trying to watch Paramedics on my phone in bed and it’s not allowed. For Christ sake it’s from the 1990’s. It’s old. Frustrating app from Discovery ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2018-06-16, version 2.12.0* This app would be great if only it recognized my tv provider!! Please add DISH!!!!! Please!!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Update on review: my provider now listed *2018-03-13, version 2.11.0* My provider finally got a contract with discovery life go app and I was able to use the app. The app works pretty well!! Not all seasons of shows are there but the most recent seasons are!!! So can’t complain! Works smoothly on sign in as well. Nice app! ### 2/5 — The commercials are RIDICULOUS *2018-01-25, version 2.11.0* Why is there not an option to pay for commercial free. There are WAY too many commercials on this. DELETE. ### 1/5 — Charter spectrum not available *2017-10-31, version 2.9.0* For some reason I can use charter spectrum on my Apple phone but not on my Apple TV!! Charter, Time Warner, and Bright house are suppose to be all in one now!! It don’t make sense to me why it’s not updated on the website!! Very disappointing!! ### 1/5 — Please fix *2017-09-03, version 2.6.1* Keep getting an error code when I try to select xfinity as my provider. ### 2/5 — Update keeps crashing *2017-04-30, version 2.5.1* Love the app but it keeps crashing since the last update ### 3/5 — Love this app but.... *2017-04-29, version 2.5.1* I really love the app but it keeps shutting down on me since the update. Can you fix this. It's really annoying. ### 4/5 — Apple TV support great but… *2017-04-07, version 2.4.0* I need support for DIRECTV Now login please and thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tv provider *2020-12-06, version 7.7.1* My tv provider is listed but when I log in I can not watch anything please fix this asap ### 1/5 — Provider won’t fix blocked subscription *2020-08-15, version 7.6.7* This used to be a great app. Last update resulted in numerous subscribers (I have Cox) being blocked, even though they have & are paying for the required services. Discovery Life Go is well aware of problem but has taken no action to remedy this! The site says they will send notifications when issue is resolved. Around 30 days later, NO RESOLUTION! Extremely disappointed in inaction on the part of Discovery Life Go!!! ### 1/5 — The app won’t stay open! *2019-12-19, version 7.6.0* Every time I try to watch something the app closes. Is there a glitch? ### 1/5 — App still has everything locked after I sign in *2019-06-03, version 2.17.0* My provider is listed and I’m signed in but everything is still locked! I called my provider and it’s available on my regular cable! **update** still not working and even emailed customer service 3 times now! No response **Developer response:** Hi there, sorry to hear this is still happening. Please reach out to us through the following link and please include information about your app store review. Thank you! https://corporatediscovery.custhelp.com/app/ask ### 1/5 — FAIL *2019-01-02, version 2.15.1* Most programming is unavailable w/o additional pay-out regardless of the boat load of $ I’m putting-out to Direct TV. Another money grab. FAIL! **Developer response:** Hi there! We appreciate your review. The programming on the Discovery Life GO app is available to you, once you have signed in with your cable/satellite provider. If you do not receive Discovery Life channel within your current channel line-up, make sure to look under 'Stream for Free' to catch available episodes without logging in. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Beware Comcast/xfinity users! *2018-07-25, version 2.13.0* This app does NOT support Comcast subscription to watch! I was so hopeful I would finally be able to watch Untold Stories Of The ER and Body Bizarre. But I found out the hard way that I can't watch a single episode because they don't support Comcast. Which to me makes no sense as it's the #1 service provider where I live in America. ### 1/5 — Problem *2018-06-10, version 2.12.0* This is the 3rd day I try and it Doesn’t let me sign into my tv provider. Having the same problem with all their apps ### 1/5 — Verizon Fios not Supported *2018-04-20, version 2.11.0* It is ridiculous that I can’t sign in to watch with my Verizon Fios subscription. ### 1/5 — Directv Now *2017-12-25, version 2.10.0* No access for Directv Now. Please add this to the provider list please. Once this is added I will update my review. ### 1/5 — Don't have my tv provider 😡😤 *2017-11-26, version 2.10.0* All the other tv apps do. You need to add WOW cable to your next update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tries to satisfy viewers *2022-01-08, version 7.9.5* They just added most of my favorite docu series I used to watch in the early 2000s ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-12-26, version 2.15.1* Excellent ### 5/5 — Apps *2017-11-21, version 2.10.0* I’m still having issues with the apps so I can watch my tv shows when I am not home ### 5/5 — Discovery Life *2017-07-29, version 2.6.1* I love this app for the Discovery Life channel because I love all the medical shows and this is the only way I can watch the shows.
