The monetization strategy of the app has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads, including pop-ups and unskippable video ads, which persist even for paying subscribers. Many users express frustration over the intrusive nature of the advertising, claiming it disrupts their viewing experience and makes the app nearly unusable. There are calls for a paid version without ads, as the current model is seen as excessively burdensome and misleading.
“I find the amount of pop-up ads is absolutely ridiculous in some parts of the app.”
“Even though I pay a subscription, the app is filled with ads (even pop-up ads that cover the whole screen and play a video in the foreground).”
“Good content but annoying to have so many ads when I already pay a subscription.”

The app is widely criticized for its instability, with users reporting frequent bugs, disconnections during casting, and video freezes that make it nearly unwatchable. Many have experienced issues such as the inability to view full screen, constant relogging prompts, and overall poor performance across various devices. Despite some positive feedback on content, the recurring technical failures significantly detract from the user experience.
“Really unstable and buggy.”
“Picture freezes; it is a total technical failure and a throwaway of money.”
“The Discovery Plus app freezes every ten seconds on the LG OLED TV and there is a slight stutter when watching on the Xbox Series X.”

Users find the humor in the game's commentary and journalism, noting it as both funny and informative. However, there is a sense of irony and frustration regarding the presence of ads despite having a subscription, which adds a layer of cringe to the experience.
“Also, it's pretty funny that I see ads even with a subscription... cringe 😬”
“Good updates; however, often video stories don't play in Australia, but funny enough, the advertising had no problem, which you have to sit through before you find out 'the videos won't play in your region.'”
“Great journalists, funny and informed.”

Users express frustration with the music in the game, noting that it often feels unnecessary and distracting, particularly when it accompanies text-based content. Many would prefer a more straightforward presentation without the background music.
“The other videos you allow me to watch are just text with a music background, which feels like a waste of time and data. I would have preferred to read it without the guitar soundtrack in the background.”
“The music in the game is repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I found the soundtrack to be quite annoying; it distracts from the gameplay rather than enhancing it.”
