Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Discovery GO at 4.7 against MeTV App's 2.7. Discovery GO also leads on ratings volume (35K vs 720) and review sentiment (37% vs 24%). MeTV App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Discovery GO holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7.

Written reviews point the same way: 37% of Discovery GO's written reviews are positive against 24% of MeTV App's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
