Travel Channel GO

Good app, but I wish it showed you which episodes you have already watched. When I come back to a show it would be nice to see which episodes I already watched so I don't have to try to remember if it's been a few days. Update (May 2024): for several months this app has been difficult to use when casting to my TV via a Chromecast. The app freezes and all video controls disappear from the app. I have to close the app and disconnect it from Chromecast via Google home and start over.

They really screwed the pooch with this most recent update. You can no longer access the local schedule. You can't see what is live now, so you have to either start live TV & guess what episode is on or go search the internet for showtimes & details. The app already stalled and froze quite often, especially when casting to devices, but now it's inconvenient to use as well - which was all it had going for it before! It was an under performing app before, but still had it's positives. Now it is an inconvenient app & they've taken away the positives.

Love the ability to see all seasons and episodes of shows. But the app itself is very cumbersome and not user friendly. Almost every time you start the app up you have to login to your TV provider again. Sometimes there is no way to get the video feed to pause as the pause button doesn't do anything. The only way you can get the show to stop is to completely close the app and restart it. Can't accurately fast forward or rewind. Overall, not very many basic streaming functions work very well.

Ease of use. Favorites makes use easier. You are welcome! A welcome addition would be a schedule. Another improvement, that might make the app better, would be if when you're viewing the list of videos for aired shows, if you could also present the dates when future episodes will air, rather than the person having to simply wait until they either get a notification if they're enabled (I personally don't keep them turned on), or have to look on an external TV schedule to figure out when the next episode will air.

I loved this app. I don't have cable, having cut the cord. It allows me the freedom to binge my shows when I have the time, energy, and inclination. Unfortunately, I've had to rerate the app now that Discovery+ has launched. Episodes to the shows I watch aren't being added because they're now on Discovery+. I would switch over but apparently the shows available to watch there are on a rotation to keep things "fresh." Either way I'm bit disappointed.

This app needs to be fixed! It would be a much better app without the constant freezing after every commercial break. Enough people experience it that the developers should address the issue. It has a good selection of shows and some episodes are unlocked for people who don't have a Discovery+subscription, which is nice because you don't have to buy the subscription before you know if you like the shows. Please fix the freezing of the app so I can rate it higher.

Not Great. this would be a great app if it weren't for the fact that the commercial breaks are stupidly long and WAYYYY too frequent. Trying to actually watch a whole program is totally aggravating. Great shows but the Travel Channel is extremely greedy and determined to take up most of the time you are on it with ads. It also has a tendency to close in the middle of an episode. I only use it if I miss a show episode I really want to see, or I can't get it any other way. It's my last resort.

Glitchy app. And when you stop watching a show in the middle of it and try to come back to it later it doesn't always start where you left off. And when I try to Chromecast it to my tv it starts over from the beginning and you can't fast forward without watching 20 minutes of ads and even after the ads play it doesn't start where you move it to. Just very annoying to use

The app itself is great, easy to view shows and plenty to choose from. Main thing holding this app back from 5/5 stars is that to have a subscription you have to have a full cable service provider obligation and there's less and less reason to do that and it really bums me out that travel channel can foresee the value of having their own app but not also their own subscription. I'm sure that would make the corporation a lot more valuable as well.

So far my favorite of the "Go" apps for 1 simple reason.. Less ads!!! The ads on travel go are 1-2 mins max (so far) while discovery go or animal planet go have 3:30 ads every 4 mins. It was so unbearable I had to delete the apps. I almost didn't even try the travel channel go app bc I thought it would be like the others. But so far I have been pleasantly surprised with just 1 or 2 min ads about every 7-10 mins. That is far more bearable and realistic to actual tv ads. Keep up the good work!

The content of the Travel channel is great. Just with their app would actually work. Casting this to a Chromecast is nearly unwatchable. Constant stops and buffers. Quality will go from HD to SD to potato vision in the matter of a few seconds, then playback will buffer for 20-30 seconds then come back for a min. Fix your app, or get better servers!

COMMERCIALS! No way to FF or rewind with any type of control or accuracy; you have to blindly drag the progress bar, and if you accidentally go back too far, you have to watch the entire commercial break (3-5 mins) again before you can resume the show. No other channel on TV (or app) has as many commercials. It's really not worth watching.

This has been my favorite app for over a year, and now it won't run on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. I've done everything, clear all cache on my device and on the app, and uninstall and reinstall - still not working. Sounds like this has been a problem for weeks, so I can't believe there hasn't been an update with a fix. This is disappointing.

Would love to give this ap five stars but it crashes sooooo much! I love the content and having all these different shows, but a lot of the time using the app isn't worth it..... It constantly signs me out so I have to go through so many steps to sign in, it never remembers what I watch so I also have to constantly look to find my show then episode, it's extremely slow... Like extremely slow, and if I move to fast for the ap it crashes, and the commercials and to long and way to frequent.

If you cast, it starts what you are watching over at the start and you can not skip forward. Also if casting it will randomly stop and disconnect so back to the start again. Do not cast with this app. Also it won't go to the next episode unless you go back and search for it manually. I have these issues on all 3 of my devices so it's not my device.

It was great until you updated it. Whatever you guys did logged me out and now I can't even sign in because the screen keeps glitching out and won't show the page to sign in. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it twice and it still won't give me the sign in page. When I reinstalled it the sign in page came up, but when I put my info in and press sign in the screen glitches out and after about 5 minutes of waiting the it crashes and when I reopen it, it still says that I'm not signed in. Please fix this. I really enjoy this app.

Can't use chromecast since the 10/31update. Continuously disconnects from chromecast while trying to stream live TV. Uninstall & reinstall works sometimes. Also when signing in cable companies are not available to choose from. Every time I want to watch shows I have to restart my phone, then the cable options are available. Completely frustrating, on the verge of useless. Please fix.

The app worked great until the last update about a week ago. I have the Note 9 and when I attempt to login to my service provider, Directv NOW, I only get an error message saying bad gateway. I've tried clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling, and still get the same error message. I submitted feedback via email and haven't received any response.

Like this app but recently it has developed a problem that I reported to customer service. And its happening to ALL the Discovery apps. I can't cast live tv. Can watch live TV on devices but can't cast. This started a month ago. I sent N email from one of the other apps in the Discovery network of channels. Customer service asked for more info and now....radio silence. Really frustrating.

This app is unbelievably awful. I've had this app installed previously and it was fine.......NOTHING like it is now. Thankfully, I didn't have the same issues as others I'm seeing with signing in to my Xfinity account. However, once I did I quickly found that it freezes up constantly and everyone I finish a show I get a message stating that the app has stopped and I end up having to close it and reopen to watch another show. Y'all need to tighten up on this app or a lot of people will be uninstalling it, if they haven't already. I will definitely be one of them.
