Makes me want to throw my phone out of the window.

Shockingly bad.

Rogers still in last century

Hello Rogers it’s 2026. Are you that cheap you won’t write a Roku or smart tv app? Or are you that small minded?
User is forced to stream from their mobile device.
Away from home and the family can’t watch.
Take a video call or check a news app and your stream stops.

Absolutely terrible

This app takes your money without warning or any kind of agreement right at the time of download, insane and predatory hell no

BS

App is terrible. This service is terrible. Can only watch from phone or laptop. Cant stream/airplay to the TV.

This App NEVER works!

You’ll be lucky to have it work three days out of the month. Wast of money and time. Do not recommend!

Needs Work

You need to put the title of the show, not the episode, in the continue watching section.

Garbage app and service

Don’t waste your money on paying for a subscription to this . There is no way to browse the full catalogue of shows on any of the networks. It just gives you a few random selections in a few categories and that’s it. It’s total garbage. Not to mention the login hardly ever works. Even after it says your account is activated…. Then when you try to watch something it says subscribe and you have to start all over again. Sometime sit works sometimes it doesn’t. And good luck getting it to work on multiple devices. Honestly this shouldn’t even be allowed to be purchased. It’s garbage. I wouldn’t even give it zero stars.

Awful

Used to be my favourite app but now it hardly loads, you have to turn subtitles on with every new episode and you can no longer chromecast.

Disappointing App

You are made to look through way too much just getting to the Continue Watching category. Then you’re filtering through everything you’ve started watching, as it is impossible to delete items in Continue Watching. Quite a large downgrade from previous Discovery+, IMO. Hope improvements are made soon.

Abhorrent

Rogers took a great thing and completely ran it into the ground the level of disappointment is legitimately unbelievable. It’s so bad that at this point it feels intentional. Just insulting honestly with all the money they generate I can confidently say absolutely none of it is going to the betterment of this app. Consistently crashes and makes you rewatch ads each time it does, which again seems intentional just can’t prove it yet. Also only available on our phones and tablets which is just odd. Overall garbage.

Worst streaming app

Want to watch the same advertisement 100 times because of a glitch, despite restarting the app and phone? Want to want 3 mins of a show just to watch a 3 min ad? Want to be 3/4 through your show and have it glitch out constantly? Want to pay a monthly fee for this? If you said “yes”, then this is the streaming service you need. If you said “no”, save your money and watch trash TV anywhere else.

horrible downgrade

idk why they would take the other app away for this one! it’s so glitchy and is 1000% worse

Rogers ruined the app

Ever since Roger’s took over Discovery+ it’s absolutely terrible. Constant freezing, shows starting with just a black screen, show names now showing only episode names, so half the time I can’t remember what I’m watching. Can’t remove shows from continue watching easily. Pure trash now.

Awful

Every time I try and resume, watching my show the ads come one after another and do not go back to what I was watching. The app crashes often in the middle of what I’m watching so this is very very frustrating.

If this was SO necessary

Why didn’t they build the app off of the original if they needed to separate. This is beyond annoying. No lg tv app. Can’t mirror. No episode descriptions. Can’t close app to smaller screen. Poor transition. Poor execution.

Adding to my review since I’ve noticed even more issues

The new app is a big downgrade. New episodes aren’t added the next day like they used to be. No way to watch on my TV, no new app available for the Amazon tv stick. No more Picture in Picture, the app just closes, and then an error message appears when you return. Not as user friendly as it’s much harder to navigate. Shows do not actually save to “My List” as it remains empty even after adding. No “continue watching” or “new episode” section.

One Star is Generous

Absolutely terrible app. Rogers has destroyed one of the best streaming apps. Episodes aren’t streaming when they should. The app layout is terrible! The likelihood of keeping this subscription is VERY LOW. Way to ruin a good thing Rogers.

Horrible

This app does not even deserve 1 star. There’s no way to track recently watched episodes. Episodes are NOT dated so you can’t track what you’ve watched. The app doesn’t work with appleTV to appear in your watch list. There is NO indication of when a new episode is uploaded. It’s literally just a list of shows. The app itself glitches at times. I WANT THE OLD DISCOVERY+ back. This new one is horrible. It needs a UI overhaul.

Sucks so badly

Doesn’t link to Apple TV. Can’t minimize screens to multitask

If I could give it zero stars, I would

Rogers took a great streaming platform and ruined it for everyone. The phone app is faulty and it is not offered on Roku TVs. Absolutely awful.
