App constantly buffers, goes screen in screen all the time etc. If I could get all the shows we watch through our IPTV, I wouldn’t have it at all ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-02, version 1.31.0* Giving this 1 star is to generous….this is garbage, as per usual Roger’s ruined something else so really I am giving this app 0 stars. Don’t waste your money. This use to be an amazing app. ### 1/5 — Terrible. *2026-07-30, version 1.31.0* Doesn’t work. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — New episodes never update on time *2026-07-29, version 1.31.0* The episodes never update- a show came out on Monday- why am I still waiting for the episode to update on the platform on Wednesday ? ### 1/5 — The Worst *2026-07-28, version 1.31.0* If I could give this negative stars, I would - just plays the same commercial over and over again, can’t seem to load the shows. What a joke. Deleting and never using ever again. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-07-28, version 1.31.0* This app has been terrible since Roger’s took over. You can barely scroll to find your show, it freezes all the time. I wish there was some way around the app. Incredibly disappointing. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2026-07-25, version 1.31.0* So disappointed. Can’t connect to my tv and it’s impossible to find where to cancel my subscription. Need to go back to the old app, I used to use this app more than other streaming platforms. ### 1/5 — Annoyed *2026-07-23, version 1.31.0* This app does not deserve a single star, I try to download shows for trips it takes about 20-30mins per episode, then when I’m offline to not use data it won’t let me open the just said failed to launch or open or gives a big error even though the app is already loaded and I can’t watch anything. If you manage to watch it you can’t go into landscape without using data. You can’t see what you previously watched in downloads or normally. It doesn’t save you shows to recently watched so you have to search it up every single time. Can’t find a cancellation button. Beyond disappointing Roger’s you need to do a better job of your going to take over and not use the original app. ### 1/5 — Previous app was great, this one sucks! *2026-07-23, version 1.31.0* We really enjoyed the previous app, but when we were forced to download a new version we noticed right away that it was a huge downgrade!! Here are issues we noticed and things we missed from the previous app 1. No dates of when episodes were released. 2. There are no “recommended” shows to watch based on what we watch 3. The search is terrible. On the older app you could search a key word like “Tokyo” and it would shows every episode that features Tokyo. Now it shows about max 6 or so and when you click in it you then can’t find the episode. 3. There is very limited info on each episode. There are more. But regardless this app is such a huge downgrade! This is the worse streaming app to use either on phone or Apple TV. ### 1/5 — APP UPDATE SUX *2026-07-21, version 1.31.0* The new update is no good whatsoever, it can’t be updated on any streaming stick, it plays the first commercial and try’s to go to the next episode. Fix fix fix it!!!! ### 1/5 — Never ending error issues *2026-07-21, version 1.31.0* You can no longer access thru a firestick 3rd gen despite it saying you can. Can’t access billing and the help chat is run by a bot that repeats useless information ### 1/5 — Rogers sucks *2026-07-21, version 1.31.0* This app worked well when Bell had it. Now we most people can’t stream on their tv. What is the point of a streaming serving you can’t stream. ### 1/5 — Simply doesn’t work *2026-07-20, version 1.31.0* When I subscribe I get an error, even though the transaction worked. Can’t access any shows even though I’ve paid for it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-18, version 1.31.0* This is terrible, does not work at all anymore. Rogers has ruined a great app. I’ve canceled my subscription. Don’t bother downloading. ### 1/5 — App needs bug fixing *2026-07-17, version 1.31.0* When any show/episode goes to commercial, it acts like it’s at the end of the episode and wants to play the next video. Commercials also hang or play several times. Sometimes have to leave episode completely and go back in again for every commercial. ### 1/5 — Horrible app, don’t waste your time with it *2026-07-16, version 1.31.0* For years Discovery+ was my only streaming service. Since Rogers took it over, it is astoundingly bad, and after only a few months I’ve had to cancel. I didn’t know it was even possible for an app to be this terrible. First, it is no longer available on Roku which is ridiculous, and it previously was - so my only option is to watch on a mobile device (which I do not like). Casting has only worked once, it no longer does. The app frequently freezes and gets stuck buffering (usually does not resolve and you have to close the app and try again); sometimes the app will just randomly close on its own. If your screen times out and you go to watch again, it shows an error message and you have to go back to the Home Screen and start again. It regularly doesn’t remember where you left off in an episode and will start the episode again from the beginning, so you have to fast forward and try to find where you left off, but it will run ads every time you let it start playing to see if you’re at the right spot. At every one of the aforementioned issues, it will play ads. It also glitches after playing ads and will play the ads again. I had the ad version before the Rogers takeover and it was fine; now, I was basically stuck watching more ads than show time. The app almost never works in the evenings, like at all, so can’t watch any shows then. I contacted customer service about these issues. They just kept asking me the same questions over and over, and I would point out that I had already answered them. Any suggestions to fix the issues, I had just done and told them so, but they just kept telling me to do the same things. I even sent them a folder of video and photo proof of what was happening. I asked to speak to a supervisor after they ran me in circles for weeks, initially they ignored that and regular employees would try and respond - I insisted on a supervisor and they finally agreed. After that I followed up weekly to ask why a supervisor had not contacted me and they just kept saying “sorry for the delay”; after a month of that, I cancelled. I was never contacted by a supervisor. Don’t waste your time with this streaming service, unless you like watching ads on a loop and being frustrated that you can’t watch any actual shows. ### 1/5 — Zero stars if I could *2026-07-09, version 1.29.1* Rogers took a functioning app and now you cannot add your programs to your Apple TV Home Screen watching now. It glitches often, terrible!!! Do better Rogers ### 1/5 — Yikes *2026-07-07, version 1.29.1* Doesnt work on my brand new ipad this sucks ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-07-06, version 1.29.1* This is the worst streaming app available. Even Tubi, a free platform, has a better app than this. ### 1/5 — Dreadful. In every possible way. *2026-07-05, version 1.29.1* This app is horrible. The previous Discovery+ app worked without issue, but this has been a dreadful experience. When you continue watching an episode, it always starts at the beginning. There’s no accurate record of what’s recently been watched. The download feature is horrible. There’s no integration with AppleTV. For the love of all that’s holy, please get your act together! There’s a very standard UX for streaming apps. Figure it out!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rate increase *2026-08-28* I use this on my apple tv , but with a $2 a month increase for a subscription I only use for two shows I am cancelling it. One of the shows is on amazon. Will only subscribe for a month or two when the show I like is over and I can binge watch the season and then cancel again. No sense in paying every month for a whole year. By the way, Roger’s CEO makes almost 3 times more money than Bell. ### 1/5 — WTF is this app?! *2026-08-23* I just subscribed, and I’m watching on a Fire Stick. I can confirm that this is the worst interface of its kind I’ve ever used. If I pause a show, no controls appear on the screen that would allow me to turn on subtitles. If I try to do it through the settings, I get network errors telling me to check my internet connection! I don’t have this problem with any other streaming service! And isn’t Rogers a Canadian company?? Why is there no way to use your service in French? ### 1/5 — Tells you you’re not subscribed when you are *2026-08-21* The new app is absolutely horrendous. It will kick you out and then tell you you are not subscribed to the app and when you try to resubscribe it just loops right back to the home screen and when you try to get tech-support, all you have is the AI chat bot that just keeps looping back to I’m sorry I couldn’t fix your problem. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2026-08-21* Subscribed on and logged in on my phone and tv…but it won’t let me watch on my tv or phone??? I click on a video and says “error” or “you have to subscribe” tried to unsubscribe and obviously says my subscription will end in a moth..$9 waisted k guess. super disappointed . Would give less stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-18* App doesn’t load content, with adds all the time that freeze. It used to be great, but it’s garbage now. Would give 0 stars if possible ### 1/5 — Sucks! *2026-08-18* Same old shows week after week! Can’t download shows to my iPad nymore, says they have downloaded but can’t watch them….. canceling 5 minutes ago! ### 1/5 — Yuck *2026-08-13* What’s a mess the made of this once wonderful app. Only place that gets this stupid app is my phone now. Love watching it l on a super tiny screen. It sucks **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to provide your user feedback. If you are seeking a larger screen experience the app is available on Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV (tvOS) devices. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-10* If I could give a zero star review I would. The new app is terrible. It’s impossible to navigate, and I miss the old version where you knew when a new episode was released. This is terrible. Put it back the way it was. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, we are working to improve the way we surface fresh content, and ensure users don't miss when a new episode arrives. ### 1/5 — 0 STARS *2026-08-10* Worst app ever since Rogers took it over **Developer response:** We appreciate you sharing your perspective, and continue to work towards improving the user experience. Any specific feedback is invaluable as it helps us zero in on the most important issues affecting the current versions of the application. ### 1/5 — Why does it not work anymore *2026-08-08* This app used to work??? Please fix it. Why does it not show the next season once you finish an episode on the last. Why is it so glitchy to search up a show? Why does it forget a show I’ve been watching for the last month?! And why when I try to swipe through episodes does it just forget how to even be an app?! Please fix it what is going on **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We appreciate the frustration issues like this can cause, and are constantly working to make all versions of the application more stable and intuitive. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New app is horrible, will be cancelling subscription. *2026-01-18* Cannot airplay to tv without having to keep my phone with the app open. This means I can’t use my phone at all - the app must remain open or its disconnects. This means no texting, using other apps etc while airplaying. Also, this new app doesn’t exist on my Samsung tv. So I can’t access it the from tv to be able to use my phone. If this isn’t fixed, will be cancelling subscription which is unfortunate because everything worked prior to this new app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we acknowledge that this was not a satisfying experience and want to clarify that this is not the intended app behaviour. A bug related to Airplay that prevents backgrounding is being investigated and will be corrected as soon as possible. We are also aiming to bring the discovery+ app to Samsung Tizen devices very soon. ### 2/5 — Garbage app and service *2026-06-07, version 1.29.1* 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. ### 2/5 — So Unhappy :( *2026-01-20* Learned after I downloaded the app on my phone and signed up that I can't download it on my Roku tv cause apparently it's not made for Roku tv's. Then I tried to find a cancellation button in the app or so to get rid off the subscription but there's none. Very disappointed. Now I'm stuck with a subscription and would have to screen mirror my phone. Before the new one came out now I truly enjoyed the old app :( ### 2/5 — New episodes not up *2026-01-19* The app feels clunky and old school compared to other streaming services - new episodes are not releasing after it airs for some shows …. I was hoping it would be a smooth transition from the original but it’s not surprising given that Rogers runs it now… ### 2/5 — Always cuts out *2026-01-17* I love all discovery shows and TLC but when I’m working out and trying to watch a episode and it keeps cutting out on me, it’s very frustrating. Also, it’s hard to find the show that I was watching because it doesn’t keep track of watch shows. Very disappointed. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your experience, it is regrettable that you encountered these issues. With regards to the 'continue watching' row, it is a bug on iOS we were made aware of, and a fix has been integrated into our next release. In order to address crashing, or other technical dilemmas, providing any possible details to support@discoveryplus.ca including device type and OS version goes a long way towards helping us track them down and fix them. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
