Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the pricing, finding it to be outrageously expensive and a significant hike compared to previous services. Customers also frequently reported issues with their subscriptions, including confusing processes, unexpected cancellations, and the inability to access content they had paid for. The service itself was often criticized for its poor quality, with problems like buffering, programs not loading, and difficulty navigating the interface. Reviewers also expressed strong negative opinions about the marketing practices, particularly the excessive and repetitive advertisements, even for paying subscribers. The user experience was widely described as terrible due to constant interruptions from ads and a difficult-to-use interface. Some people were dissatisfied with the lack of an ad-free option, especially given the high subscription costs. A few other people also felt that the content, despite being plentiful, was overshadowed by the overwhelming number of advertisements.

In one word DON'T

In one word DON'T. The presenters are lovely of course. But £31 for add-packed coverage is disgraceful. Now let's say you view a Tour stage start at work over your lunch break to revisit it in the late afternoon. Well, suddenly your coverage has vanished, replaced with a frankly unwatchable 4-screen mess with no time signature. Why would you?

Absolute rubbish

Absolute rubbish. I think they deliberately disable the fast forward option so you have to watch mind numbing adverts which last longer than the actual programme you are trying to watch

Massive backward step

Discovery+ discontinued Eurosport. Irish customers can only get some of the old Eurosport content on TNT sports though Now TV or a TV subscription. Even with an expensive now TV subscription content is only available sometimes and only live - no catch up - even for highlights shows.

Awful, awful, awful - avoid

Awful, awful advert drivel. Paying £31/month for adverts - as soon as cycling over i’ll be cancelling. Was fine when had ad free option but thats now gone. Customer service no help, usual corporate response. Avoid if you can

The worst value for money service on…

The worst value for money service on the market!
Not only are they expensive but they still include ads and what they offer is, with some small exceptions, rubbish. Most people only want the sport but to justify the other rubbish you can only get the sport with the full package!!
They don't listen to or give a toss about their customers - the reviews here are an example of that - and as a whole they are just a horrible company ripping us off!
If you had to offer a sport only package or even a tennis, cycling, football, etc only package for a reasonable price then you may find a little more positivity.
This is all without going into their rubbish app!

Joke, do not pay for this!

I pay £31 a month for Discovery Plus, just to watch cycling. I have to watch ADVERTS. £31 a month to watch bloody adverts. I am only paying for July to watch The Tour. If they have adverts in the live coverage, it will be a disgrace!

Annoyed bike racing fan

I'm a motorcycle racing fan so, no real option other than discovery plus, to see motogp, sbk and bsb. The problem is they are so full of themselves for having all 3 (at a vastly hiked price over last year) that they can't stop themselves from boasting about it and, frequently when different disciplines are held on the same weekend, telling you the results of the series you're not watching. What other channel would do this? The races should be automous as, not everyone can watch all of them in one go. Yesterday's moto2 cut to England where the presenter without warning told me the result of a race I plan to watch one night in the week. Should I even bother now...... You can watch 2 screens at once, they proudly announce but who, realistically, wants to give neither screen their full attention? It's either worth watching or it's not, would you suggest watching 2 soaps simultaneously? Why is sport any different?
Did I mention that it's outrageously expensive in comparison to last year too? Thanks for that discovery

Do Better

Ok, I gave one star to Amazon Prime and Discovery+ Premium and not to a nice bloke called Joe who's been very helpful with my problem. I've asked Amazon to unsubscribe me which they did, but it's not enough even tho that I did subscribe through them so they are the Governor's in charge. Long story short I kept on being charged from February onwards. Amazon washed their hands by saying WE DID OUR PART! You've been unsubscribed no?! Discovery+Support you're already better at dealing with customers but all this subscription are too complicated and confusing!

Awful app and scheduling

Awful app and scheduling. They don’t know when their own shows are on, the catch up lines up with the planned broadcast time, so if the show started late, the end is missing. Utter rubbish and a massive rip off to boot.

Excessive ads even with premium..

I have a premium subscription but still seeing so many ads at the start and throughout programmes (not just live) sometimes 6 or 7 at a time! Not acceptable for the price and definitely puts me off using it.. would not recommend

POOR/NEGLIGIBLE SELECTION OF CATCH UPS

We subscribed to enjoy Roland Garros live and on catch up - the latter to watch all or highlights of the many games that we missed in a crowded schedule. Initially this happened but as the tournament progressed, the catch-ups dropped away almost completely, instead we were encouraged to watch endless sports in which we had no interest. VERY disappointing.

Devastated that, due to greed, I will miss the french open

I am sorely disappointed that I have spent the afternoon trying to “upgrade my pass” in order to watch the french open . I realised this would most likely mean an increase on the £3.99/ month But Was beyond angry when I discovered it would cost me £30.99/month !! I only want to watch tennis so dont want to pay for all the other sport. How greedy and thoughtless so now they wont even get my £3.99

If I could give less than one star I…

If I could give less than one star I would, this company has no care for its service or customers. Sky give this service away for free but it ends up relecting badly on them. Do not pay for this service from the difficulty of registering and Activation to the fact the stream does not work if large traffic and when it does it buffers and is full of really poorly placed Ads that again reflect badly on the Companies using this awful service to advertise. How can something so basic be done so badly!

Insane price increase

Just gone to renew my subscription, as I do yearly for the Australian Open and French Open, and I couldn't believe my eyes. The price increase from £6.99 to £30.99 is insane - I don't pay that on any streaming service.

Gutted I can't watch the tennis or TDF this year.

Discovery plus is a nightmare if you…

Discovery plus is a nightmare if you want to watch tennis, like Roland Garros. What they don't understand is that when watching tennis on TV the viewer has to concentrate to watch the fast action. So putting flash up messages CONSTANTLY on the screen makes the viewing experience terrible. In any case why, for instance, would the viewer on Discovery Plus want to be constantly reminded over and over again that there is 'More on Discovery Plus' ? Seems to me these guys need a check up, and from the neck up.
