Works 10% of the time. I always get signed out of my xfifnityon the app and have to re-sign in to my cable provider and it takes 20 minhutss or clicking around to get to unlock epidaodes. Last week it would close me out of the app anytime I tried to click on an episode of 90 day fiancé. SoI tried other shows and the same thing was happening. What’s the deal? Why is this app so buggy. It takes way too long for me to finally get an episode to play. Let alone the 6-8 commercials between every 5 minutes of the show and it’s the same commercials of all-state over and over and over again. Not happy at all with this app but It’s one of the only ways I get to actually watch my shows. I just got a response from the developer to try to uninstall and reinstall the app. I have done this three times already, signed out and exited out fo the app and went back in. It never did anything, it still was glitchy and kept signing me out every time I attempted to unlock an episode and sign in.

Running in Circles. After signing in to my tv provider yesterday, I was able to watch two shows before it said I had to login to watch the content because it was only for paid cable subscriptions. However, it showed that I was still logged in. I had to log out and log back in. I was able two watch two more episodes between yesterday and today. But then it gave me the same messages before stating the 5th episode. I updated the app hoping this would fix the issue. Now it’s telling me that I have to sign in to watch content, so I sign in and it takes me to the Discovery Channel site. When I go back to the TLC app, it says I’m not signed in. If I click the button to sign it, it’s says I’m already signed in and takes me back to the Discovery Channel site. I’ve tried deleting and downloading the app, turning my phone off and on, nothing works.

So many commercials.... I hope you enjoy ads that you can’t skip 6-7 times in one episode. EDIT.... There are FAR MORE ADS THAN WATCHING THIS ON TV! The app crashes on the 9th ad, and then starts over watching the show on air has never done that. And I use the app in hopes to avoid watching on air! What a ridiculous response by the developer... an attempt to publicly educate/humiliate a reviewer on something as obvious as the necessity of ads like they haven’t been on tv for a millions years - but ignore all the issues stated. Thanks!!! Sometimes I want to throw something on to watch while I’m getting dressed but after I get through the first set of ads I’m dressed! It started out with 3-4. Now that I’ve been watching more frequently there’s 9! Sometimes the ads are the same over and over. Like 4 out of the 9 ads are the exactly the same it juSt goes off and starts over again. Also, let’s say you have to exit the screen for some reason during an ad, if it’s over a certain time period it starts all the over!!! Agh! The fact that you must be a paid subscriber makes it a bit odd that they would force you to watch these advertisements.

Ads galore. This is possibly one of the worst apps I have ever used. The interface on both the tv and iPhone is awful, as well as almost unusable. There's literally more ads then there is show. Every 15 minutes is a new ad, multiple ads, usually 8+ ads at one time and its absolutely god awful. It doesn't save where you are in the show, and it doesn't show you what episode you've already watched . So if you try to find out where you are, good luck, because you'll have to watch 15 ads before you even find your place in the show. I never write reviews but this app is so awful i made an acceptation. It almost makes me wanna stop watching all tlc shows because im not even watching the show anymore, im just watching ads. As i write this right now, it is displaying me an ad.

App doesn’t work.. The app doesn’t work at all and if it does it stink because of so many commercials. On tv when there’s a break it’s like three or four short commercials, but it’s like six or seven commercials in this app and there constantly coming up. Also for some reason when the app literally breaks down I can open the app to the logo screen and then the app just freezes there and does not let me into the main use for the app. Usually how I fix this is I have to delete the app and redownload the app which only takes a couple of seconds, but it’s not even really worth it because 10 minutes later you either get tired of commercials or it breaks down again. I suggest that TLC GO! app needs some major improvement and issues worked out because I’ve never seen an app so buggy in my life. Even the free game apps aren’t this bad. Whoever designed this app and is maintaining it if they are should probably be fired because there doing a terrible job. TLC please fix the app because it’s terrible.

Needs work. There are plenty binge worthy shows on TLC but the app needs some help. I don’t suffer from the commercial problem.. not sure why. I get 4-5 commercials ever so often, not the 8-12 some others say they get. However... it continuously tells me “this program is for users who subscribe to TLC” WHILE my account is logged in.. and I do have TLC in my cable subscription. I’ll watch a few episodes in a row (I usually put something on my phone while I clean, cook dinner, etc) and then when the 3rd or 4th episode starts, I magically “don’t subscribe to TLC” and it won’t play.. I then have to log out and log in to be able to watch it. Super annoying. Also - I watch with the app on the fire stick as well. Yes, we have cable but I rarely use it lol we just use the apps and pick and choose what to watch when we want. So I go to pick up where I left off on a TLC show on my tv that I started on my phone - it’s never accurate. It’s always further behind than I really am or further ahead

Love the App. I love being able to watch some of my favorite shows when I’m away from home or when I want to watch something different than what my husband is watching. To all those who think they can watch all the episodes of every show if they cancel their cable or satellite service, please be aware that all those networks, (including TLC) have to be able to pay all their talents and to make their money also. They wouldn’t be able to produce those shows if everyone cancelled their tv service and was able to just download the app(s) and watch all the shows for free; that is just ridiculous!! Please be reasonable!!

Ludicrous amount of commercials - terrible and takes advantage of their customers. They need to bundle this app with discovery+ for one price or have a version that doesn’t require you to watch a million commercials when you pay for cable. 1. It doesn’t recognize where you left off on a series even on the same device. 2. If you go to fast forward through an episode you watched on another device you have to watch a ridiculous amount of commercials. I literally watched 32 commercials just to get 30 minutes into an episode I had started on another device (on the same network). Then I was able to watch about 5 minutes before having to watch 8 MORE COMMERCIALS. 3. You can’t pause a show during a commercial. 4. I pay for discovery+ (and cable) but I need both apps to watch all spin-offs and new seasons. 5. Even though I pay for discovery+ I still have to watch a million commercials for it on this app. 6. The episodes and series appear in reverse order and automatically defaults to the last episode of the most recent season. 7. It doesn’t recognize the last episode you watched so in the “continue to watch” section it isn’t even close to what you recently watched. Edit: saying that you only have the same number of commercials as if the show was watched live doesn’t make it so. Plus, the app doesn’t save the progress of a show on different devices so now you’re forced to watch the commercials multiple times.

Commercials are so annoying. I really like this app because TLC shows are super good and very entertaining, BUT THE ADS ARE HORRENDOUS!!! I understand you need ads to maintain a free app, but it’s ridiculous. why are there so many? I’m literally watching more ads than I am the actual show. I’d much rather pay for no ads ever again then sit through the same commercials every 6 minutes. also, you really need to include a picture in picture function, every other streaming service allows for you to watch your show while also scrolling through your phone, it’s very annoying you can’t with TLC. The shows you guys produce are great, but dear god, just let me pay to not watch these ads

Binging say yes to the dress. I recently discovered say yes to the dress. I know. Have I been hiding under a rock? Anyway I downloaded the app so I could watch it. This app is better than watching it through my cable providers app which freezes and doesn't save my spot where I left off. I didn't give it a 5 because of the commercials. Happens 3 times during an episode usually 5 of them but there is a countdown timer to let you know when the commercials will be done. I like that so I know I have time to take a quick shower to or I leave the room to get something and I come back and the show is back on.

WOW. What is wrong with y’all? What is up with the Ads it takes me almost 3 hours to watch one episode of 90 day finance. If I can give this 0 stars I would it’s the most annoying thing. Maybe run 1-3 ads Max with each being max 30 seconds y’all running 9 Ads 3 minutes have y’all lost your minds. What Makes you think people watch Ads on live TV, we just change the channel until the the Ads are done and come back to it. Nobody watches ads we do something else while it runs. Same thing with the radio in the car, if you want us to watch your Ads and stay happy and not completely erase your APP and stop watching your shows then reduce ad time to 1-2 minutes max since we can’t Skip the Ads and have to watch it. Come up with a better solution if you can’t hire me I’ll come up with one.

A bit glitchy. I like and enjoy the app for the most part. However, there are some critical issues that should be addressed. After reading a few of the reviews, I see that I am not the only one experiencing the locked episodes while logged into the app via my cable provider. I also have the issue of it not seamlessly stream-cast my shows. I have had to start episodes over 4-5 times, if not more, to watch via AirPlay and it’s extremely frustrating. An error message always pops up and requests you to retry only to start your episode over from the very beginning. Please fix these issues.

Do you really need that many ads for a 10 year old reality show?. Skip the app use the website version instead you get half the amount of ads. I don’t mind some ads but with the app for every 5-6 mins of show you have to watch 3-5 mins of ads. These are cheaply made reality shows. They are known for being made on the cheap. There is no reason 10+ year old reality tv needs to be supported by this many ads. One block of ads had 7 ads! Ridiculous. And the constant medical ads are also depressing. Gonna stick with the website. ✌️ **Edit: The cut and paste reply from TLC is hysterical. Again SISTER WIVES SEASON 1 WAS FILMED TEN YEARS AGO there is no need for this many commercials. You also cannot fast forward through them like you can with the web version. Basically stop lying. Thanks!**

FED UP!. My only complaint used to be that you couldn’t pause streaming, because the app would crash...and that was VERY annoying. But I got used to just closing the app and reopening it when I was ready to continue. Now, I think I am absolutely DONE with this...it’s not even worth free! Never mind the constant little spinning circle showing me it may, or it may not actually ready itself, but after waiting MANY minutes, and sometimes having to clear it out and try again, just when I think I’m in, there’s that obnoxious little red key saying it’s only available to those who receive TLC! This sometimes even happens in those times I have to close it to pause it... as in... I was JUST watching your faulty app! I’ve followed all the help suggestions time and time again, only to have to wait a few days for it to decide it’s going to work again. Seriously, NOT WORTH FREE!

Needs Fixed. EDIT: the developer response is now blaming my TV provider for having to sign back in... I don’t think the TV provider would ask me to sign back in after an hours worth of watching on the app. Someone needs to Take responsibility for their broken app! This app would be great if it didn’t glitch so much. If you sign in with your cable provider you can watch any show, but the app randomly signs you out or says that you don’t have a subscription, which makes you unable to continue to watch shows. I have read similar complaints in older reviews and the developer just responds that they are sorry and to try to restart the app. Maybe instead the developers should just try to fix their app!

Doesn’t have all the seasons. I used to really enjoy this app because I could watch the shows and all their seasons or at least most of them. I use to have issues with the commercials because there was so many but it was a minor sacrifice so I could catch up with everything. Now they’ve taken off most of the seasons of the shows that I am trying to watch currently. My only guess is because they’re with discovery+. I think it was a trashy decision, people who are already paying to watch TLC with their service providers now has to use a different app with extra fees in order to watch their shows. I think it was a horrible choice and is not fair to the people who’ve enjoyed the app in the past. Worse yet is the fact that even though they do not have all the seasons for their shows they still have just as many commercials

FREE FREE FREE. During covid-19 who doesn’t like free!! Love this App get to watch alllmy favorites shows limited comercislAnd they let you know when I go to commercial like Law & Order used to be Do you only thing I do not like about this app is that when you put it on pause you are not losing what are you left off it and it’s hard to navigate through the app to find what you were watching that’s the only downfall so I suggest just deleted play instead of putting it on pause because you may never be able to find what you watching again specially if it’s got lots of episodes I love my 600 pound life it’s so much drama n funny

TLC survey. I like the shows but I’m turned off by 5 or 6 ads at a time. I gave up!! It’s too annoying and also that the network is piling stories on top of stories and the dates are out of order and it’s frustrating to see the same episodes over to find the one you want to catch up on. Also, I can’t find the replay for Pillow Talk on app or on Demand. Having said that , all that filming and viewers give up. The worst is too many ads, it’s sickening. That the only reason I gave it a 2. I have to work at 4am and would like to be able to catch up with the show on my hours.

Definite issues that need to be fixed!. i love that there are so many show options and that you can binge watch previous seasons, but the only time the app works correctly is on my phone. if i try to use the app on my firestick or roku it either immediately says there is an error and kicks me out or i am able to start watching an episode of something and shortly after it will show the error message. it is very very seldom that i am able to watch a full episode any place other than on my phone and i do not want to watch on my phone when i am home and could be watching on a bigger screen. after reading other reviews it seems these issues are not just happening to myself and have been this way for quite some time now. there are other apps like the syfy app for example which i have never encountered an issue with so i’m sure if syfy can figure it out, a bigger network such as tlc should be able to do the same.

Kind of annoying 🤷🏼‍♀️. When I first downloaded this app it was great. Besides all the freaking ads. Some are okay. But I swear I watch 5-8 ads at least 5 or 6 times watching a show. I’ve unfortunately gotten used to it at this point. But my next problem is that when I stop watching a show in the middle of it, I go back to watch it and I have to start it all over again because it NEVER saves it. And then when I try to go and remember where I left off, I have to watch a ton of more ads. It’s just annoying. Another problem I have is that I tried to watch on my computer but it doesn’t save any of my favorites or anything from my account. It’s just annoying that I can only watch it on my phone because that’s where all my shows are saved at.

App never works. This app is terrible. I’ve been using it for a few weeks by signing in through my tv provider and after a few days it will tell me I can’t watch episodes because I need to be signed in with my TV provider. But I’m already signed in! Logging out and logging back in doesn’t help. The only way to resolve is by uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but in 2 weeks I’ve held to uninstall the app 4 different times. When the app does work, it’s still really annoying. If you stop mid episode it doesn’t always allow you to pick up where you left off (there’s a “continue watching” section that *should* let you pick up where you left off, but it only works about 50% of the time) so I need to fast forward and then the app makes me watch 10 minutes worth of commercials while I try to fast forward through the episode to get to my most recent spot.

Keeps locking episodes. I have tried for 3 days to watch a show on here. I use this app often and it stays logged into my directv account. It is now saying everything is locked that I want to watch. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled the app several times. I have turned my directv off and back on in my settings and it’s continuing to say I don’t have access through my cable when I in fact do and have used this app for months to watch shows It’s incredibly frustrating and I have no clue how to fix it!!!!

Way too many Commercials. I love TLC so much and lots of my favorite shows are on there! I love outdaughtered, I am Jazz, 7little johnstons, and my teen is pregnant and so am I, and many more. My problem with this app is the commercials...there is commercials about every 5 minutes and each commercial break there is about 5-6 commercial, sometimes even 8-10! Also if i misheard something i will go back to see what they said and if what i wanted to hear was before the commercial, they will show me the part and then i will have to watch the 5-10 commercials all over again! I love this app and I really hope they consider the problem with the obsessive amount of commercials. Thank you, User of TLC GO

Shows are great, App needs WORK. I love the shows and think the once I CAN access play well. However the app itself doesn't function properly and features need work. I have tried to log into my cable subscription multiple times but it won't connect. It's not my credentials that are the problem, the app accepts them and then immediately logs me out. I can only watch what is available to anyone which is frustrating. On top of that the episode will restart any time I exit out, it will not save my spot and begins from the beginning but marks that I've watched part of the episode. I also think that there should be more functions while playing an episode besides play/pause and to move the timer on the bottom to different parts of the episode. I recommend a forward/backward option and consider adding a 10sec back button like many other apps. I hope this helps! Would love to see the app function better!

Super Enjoyable. I’m very thankful for this app being free and allowing me to catch up on my favorite shows as well as cast to my television. The only issue I have is regarding the commercials. I don’t mind having the commercials considering it’s a free app, my problem is that if I have to exit the app or anything like that my progress into an episode isn’t saved. So, when you go back to finish watching it you have to try to slide through and find your spot and every time you do that it puts commercials on. I think the app would be about perfect if there was a way for you spot to be saved in an episode or for it to disable commercials while trying to fast forward to where you left off.

Lay off the Ads. I find that typically when watching ads from any other channel’s app, you end up watching less commercials overall than you would when watching live TV. I would never have thought you could watch more ads in one episode than the program itself but TLC has managed to make that possible. Specifically with their TLC go shows, in a 15 minute episode, be prepared to sit through EIGHT commercials after every three minutes of show. If you’re lucky, it’s only 7. But one of them is probably extra long so not really. Also, can someone explain to me what the purpose is of having a “previously on” and “next time on” for a 15 minute episode? They upload them all at once. Are there really people watching one episode and coming back days later? Maybe only because they got annoyed by having upwards of FORTY commercials in an episode.

Was super excited but disappointed. I was super excited to download the app to catch up on all the shows I miss. I’m normally busy so I don’t get to see them live and my family hoards the tv to themselves. When I downloaded the app it wasn’t very easy to use and I had to search the show I wanted to watch which wasn’t a problem but I couldn’t favorite it to go back to. Then I went to go watch it and it wouldn’t let me because I don’t have a tv provider on their list. Like Verizon I s a popular provider is it not? Yet they don’t have it?? So now I’ve missed 3 episodes of my favorite show and they aren’t shown on tv or the app and I have no way of watching them... really disappointed since I was looking forward to it so much.

Crappy. Only got this app because I thought it would be easier to use rather than constantly logging in through safari, but honestly watching through the web browser on your phone is a better option. There is no picture in picture, you cannot mute ads because the sound automatically goes back up - which is ridiculous (how are you not going to allow me to change the volume on MY phone??!), and it seems there is more ads than usual. Going to be deleting the app and just continue to watch through my web browser. I can watch while doing other things on my phone and can mute the ads whenever they come on. Only gave this app 2 stars because it does the very minimal, which is play the show you choose to have on.

So buggy it’s nearly inoperable. If you’re going to start an episode and finish it in one sitting, you should be fine. But if you ever try to stop in the middle and expect to have your place held, forget it. Some of my episodes that I HAVE finished permanently have a random save spot on them (I can see the bar that normally should indicate being partially through the episode). Sometimes the ads freeze or screw up the feed or something where none of the video controls work, the episode is playing and yet I still see “advertisement 1 of 4” written at the top of the screen and the loading wheel is right in the middle of my episode as if it’s trying to load more ads. Like, does ANYONE QA this app? You just put it out there? Didn’t even play an episode on it?? I’m losing my marbles over this.

Commercial catastrophe. I love TLC programming and was very excited to try this app. I was incredibly disappointed to find out though that there are seemingly more commercials than actual programming! Not only are there an insane amount of commercials, they are often the same ones repeated on end. Often the app freezes and you are forced to watch all of them again just to get back to where you were in your show. I just can’t handle it. I’ll have to go back to recording the programs and fast forwarding the ads. If it were one or two per break I could understand, but there are five to seven every ten minutes! I understand you are trying to make money from ad space TLC, but as you can see from these reviews, your viewers are not happy, and many are turning away such as I have.

Disappointed. Honestly, I expected a lot more from this app. The idea is great and I really do love the fact that I can catch up on episodes of shows I missed. But the app is too flawed for me to be able to use it effectively. It requires me to resign in to my tv provider every time I open the app which is frustrating. Even after signing in sometimes it won’t let me watch episodes I’m usually able to watch because they’re “locked”. When I click on them to see why they’re locked, it says it’s because I’m not signed in even when I am!! Then once I’m finally able to watch episodes, they will often skip. Meaning, I’ll start watching the beginning of an episode and out of nowhere it’s skips to the end! This is so frustrating because when I try to rewind it back to the beginning, the app glitches and then will shut down. These are only a few of the problems I’ve encountered, trust me there are a lot more. I truly love TLC, and wish they would put more time into working out these bugs so I can properly enjoy the app and episodes I miss.

Stop the Insanity with Commercials. I love catching up on my 90 Day Fiancée shows and I totally understand that TLC needs to pay for content and I have to watch commercials BUT there are literally commercials every few minutes. Rarely, it’s a reasonable 3-4 but often it’s 10, 11, 12. Yes, TWELVE in one break. And for extra fun, sometimes they repeat. Not to mention that sometimes you need to search for where you left off because the app crashed or for some reason puts you in a wrong place and every time you try to fast forward or rewind, you guessed it, commercials... It’s obscene. Stop it TLC. No other provider does this. It would be useful to also be able to download episodes to be able to watch on the train or other places where signal or WiFi is spotty or unavailable but this app doesn’t allow it. I would imagine that it’s because they can’t control the commercials and it would get in the way of their plan to slowly drive their audience mad.

TLC. I enjoy this app, just way too many commercials. If/when I rewind I do not like that I have to re-watch the same 8 commercials, they should be skipped over and go straight into the show if they have already been played. It would be nice to have a 10 second rewind option so that doesn’t happen, or if I’m interrupted or have to stop watching and come back later and I rewind part of an episode, it would be nice to not have to watch the same commercials again to find your place in the show if you have to go backwards a segment or 2. It’s annoying and a big time waster. I understand the need for commercials, but there are a lot, and repeating in the same place commercials have already been played can be frustrating.

This is ridiculous!. I paid for Philo so that I could use this app to watch all the 90 Day Fiancé shows. They never release full episodes, just 30 minute chunks. In the 30 minutes you have 4 commercial breaks, each commercial break being 6 to 12 ads. Within those breaks the same commercial is repeated multiple times. Today while watching, 5 of the 6 ads during ONE break were the exact same ad playing over and over. I’ve had it. Sick of only being able to handle two 30 minute episodes at a time instead of binging on my night off. If you need the money, just offer a version that is ad free which people can pay for. Watching the same ad 5 times in a row and then watch it another 3 times in a row in 5 minutes with the next ad break is ridiculous.

few annoying bugs. my only issues with the app is that it does not save my place in the episode when i stop watching which causes me to have to constantly fast forward or rewind to find my place. any time i do that, i sit through commercials so i end up just rewatching what ive already seen (super annoying). the shows im currently watching also NEVER show up on the continue watching so i have to go through and find my shows (yes i know i can add them to my favorites but it should still show in the continue watching section). the show selection is fantastic but there are still so many bugs it makes it frustrating to want to watch them.

C’MON TLC! Give us a break! This is More like Commercial App!!. Obviously we expect commercials, but there shouldn’t be more commercial time than the actual show you are watching!! An hour show takes almost 2 hours to watch thanks to those commercials. Ridiculous!! Also, Where are the 15 second fast forward and rewind buttons. Sometimes you miss something, but with the TLC GO app it is not user friendly AT ALL to rewind or fast forward. If you do try to use your fingers you always end up going to far back or too far ahead and boom!! You're stuck watching 7 commercials when all you needed were a couple seconds to rewatch something. Omg. Basically just wait for your the show to come on again on your tv. It’s the best way to ever watch and get through a show!

What’s up people. After reading the reviews for this app...I really don’t understand others. I love this app! I get to catch up on episodes of shows that I missed over the past several months or even a year. See, you do not subscribe to cable, dish, or have an antenna. We watch a lot of Redbox movies. But, when I visit my family in PA, I can watch all of those stupid shows that are really useless television. No lessons learned, family values (already raised my children), or vulgar language. So, I really only have two shows that I watch on TLCgo. They are: My Big Fat Fabulous Life, because I can relate to Whitney with being a large person at one time of my life. Plus, if I could get ahold of Todd, I would be telling him, “The world does not revolve around you and grow up!” The other show I like to watch is, “90 Day Fiancé “. Because people are ssooooo darn stupid to think that person you brought not our country is here for your love.....think again!! It is a rarity that the marriages really do work out. As for the commercials, at least the app lets you know how many commercials you will be having. Regular TV does not do that, and then you never know when to leave the room. Is their going to be another commercial or not, do I have time for a drink, etc. Plus, it is a free app....just be grateful for that! 🖥

Unlocking shows. When I decided to cancel my cable service I thought this app would be the best solution to getting my say yes to the dress fix. It is far from it actually a lot of the episodes aren’t even unlocked for my viewing, I had then decided a better option would be to download the season from iTunes which is a much better solution. But now as far as I am seeing, season 16 will not be available to me and I am not going to be able to view the show the way I want to for quite some time since TLC does not want to unlock the show for up to date viewing. Normally with iTunes it is normally available to view within a few hours of the air time now I’m going to have to probably wait weeks since most of season 13-15 is not available on this app for my viewing pleasure. Hopefully the show will pop up on iTunes but I’m not holding my breath since TLC wants to force us to use this app or some form of tv service.

Awful app not worth your download.. This is not a user friendly app. It is hard to navigate, doesn’t keep favorites, or hold in the middle of a show if you have to come back to it, and finally whoever has control over the commercials are a joke. I’ve had the same commercial play over and over 10 times, no exaggeration for one commercial break. The breaks within The episodes are a joke all around. Multiple times I’ve had problems with these things and I’ve only had this app for about a week. Once I finally get through the show I’m trying to catch up on I’m deleting this app immediately, as this is the only way I can catch up with a show I really like to watch. Get it together if you’re trying to make an app that is user friendly.

Should name it "Commercial Go”. First of all.....great access to all the shows I would want to watch (& I only watch TLC on the app) No complaints there....BUT I hate the app with a PASSION!!!!!! Reasons this app is horrible: 1. Excessive commercials. I understand and expect commercials while streaming cable TV but 5-7 commercials every 5-8 min is nuts!!! 2. You cannot close the app (or switch from TV to iPad) and continue watching a show where you left off. Even though you're logged into both. You are forced to start from the beginning...which leads to the next reason... 3. When you are forced to start a show over, even after watching it for 50 minutes, yes, you can fast forward it. BUT..the app forces you to stop at every commercial break and you have to watch the same 5-7 commercials again. 4. It doesn't automatically remember what shows you watch. For example, I'm currently binging 90 Day Fiance, when I sit down at the end of the day to watch more, first I have to search for the show within the app. Then I have to try and remember what episode I was on. Tonight I couldn't remember. I sat thru over 20 min of commercials before I found the episode I was half way through. Bottom line....if you can watch TLC programs through your cable subscription, just do that. Don't bother with this app!!!

Have to reinstall EVERY DAY. Every time I use this app I have to reinstall it to get it off the main red TLC screen. It will not progress further. And then I have to enter all of my cable service info all over again. I love the app when it works but it’s a pain when it doesn’t. I watch this during nap time so it’s used every day just about.. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!! I was told to reach out and I did and basically they told me to uninstall and reinstall and see if that helps the app. Which is why I gave one star because I literally have to do this everytime/every day I want to watch the app to get it to go past the red loading screen. Sooo... that obviously didn’t fix the issue. I think there are some bugs to be fixed because this didn’t used to be an issue. Would love to change my rating soon.

Ads and consistency issues. Everyone has mentioned the massive amount of ads so I won’t focus on that. However, on both the app and on the website I’ll log in with my cable information and half of the time I can’t access anything. Where in the world is the consistency?! Not here. To make matters worse, this is a known issue that you can find on the website’s FAQ page. I watch quite a few shows via app and I’ve never had an issue with any other apps like I do with this one. Discovery, please address this issue in a different way because your current way isn’t working. Thank goodness you have a few decent/high ranking shows on this network, or else no one would be using this app or watching your shows.

Pretty good. Commercials tho. If you have tlc already as part of ur tv plan, this app is great. It has almost all the episodes of shows and I love it so far. Entering your tv provider is free if you have tlc already. The commercials are a bit much. Then again, that’s how it is when you watch tv. And the commercials aren’t even that long so idk why people are complaining so much. I love this app cause I’ve been looking all over for somewhere to watch Kate Plus 8 cause I love that show and I was so happy to see they had so many episodes. I highly recommend this for people. (The reason I took off a star is cause I’m not a fan of the commercials but they aren’t that bad)

.. I genuinely don’t write reviews, but this is one of the most frustrating apps I’ve ever downloaded. The app has a serious problem with keeping you signed in with your cable provider after not using it for awhile. I basically have to uninstall and reinstall every time I want to watch anything (this happens with the Roku app too.) The browse feature has categories that, when you click on them, have no shows listed inside. Plus the app doesn’t have Cake Boss? Which is the only reason I downloaded it. It doesn’t make sense to me, as the Roku TLC Go app has Cake Boss available to watch. It’s cool you can watch the TLC network live though. TL;DR: Please add all of the shows that TLC says are available to stream onto this app, fix your multiple cable sign-on problem, and make things more accessible.

Great when it works. It’s great to watch catch up on shows, watch old series, or live tv. When it works that is! It loads stuff slower than my other tv apps which I can live with but it constantly telling me the show I selected is only available to people that have TLC as part of their cable subscription and not allowing me to continue my shows is super irritating. I have a cable subscription that includes TCL and it’s currently signed in at the time the messages pop up. The app has gone through many annoying glitches that prevent it from being usable half the time this is just the latest. UPDATE: gets more unusable day by day. Is actually useless. Will “automatically signed in” then the pop up is for the discovery website and you are not able to loggin at all.

Great Channel, Too Many Ads. I love TLC! Most of my favorite shows come on this channel. I love that there’s an app because I watch most of my shows on my phone while doing chores around the house. There are two things I really dislike about the app though. There are way too many commercials!! It is super annoying. I usually don’t finish an episode in one sitting because o get frustrated. Also there is an issue where sometimes it does not save my progress in a show. This becomes an issue because of the ads. As I’m trying to find where o left off o get stopped by ads. I use this app enough that it would almost be better to have a paid no ad version. I hate saying that but the ads are really just that annoying plus they are always the same thing!

Soooooo glitchy!. I had originally connected my direct TV information into the app and it was working well overall. The shows do have some glitch issues though that often cause you to have to start the episode over and then go through SO MANY COMMERCIALS to try and get back to where you left off. But at least I got to watch the shows. Somehow it lost my Direct TV account info and now when I try to access an episode or to go into settings to try and reconnect it, the “processing” circle comes up for a moment and then just goes away. It never allows me to reconnect my account. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no change. So now I can’t really watch anything, even though I should be able to!! Also, it never seems to be able to keep my personal settings. I added a number of shows into my favorites category, but after a day or so, they’re not there anymore. I went back in and added them again only to have them all disappear again. It also fails to show the “watched next” stuff either. So frustrating!! And yes....so many commercials!!!! I don’t mind some, but DANG! And they’ll repeat the same commercial multiple times. Come on... Really such a glitchy, glitchy app. I don’t understand why they can’t get it to run smoothly. If they did, I would definitely give it 4-5 stars! But as is, it is often not even functional.

App still good but latest update is terrible. My issue with the app is that the latest update removed the ability to cast. The cast button is still there but when I select it, it doesn’t show my devices but rather “nearby devices”. When I try to connect using the pin, it attempts to connect then fails. The app first updated on my iPad but I was still able to use my phone to cast. But now that the phone app has been updated, I’ve lost that ability entirely. It would be nice if they could remedy this soon.

PLEASE FIX THIS!!!. I really love this app - when it works! I do not understand why certain shows won’t work. It will sign me out. It will say I cannot access because I don’t have this in my cable plan - but I do! This app works on my phone but my fire stick it does not work. Every time I try to go activate it I click my cable provider then it tells me that we’re going to the login screen but it skips over it and then tells me I can’t watch anything! This is so frustrating!! I want to watch my shows on my Big tv and not on my cell phone!!!! PLEASE FIX THIS!! Yes I have already deleted the app reinstalled the app updated the app cleared my cookies in the app I have done everything and this still does this every single time!

Too many commercials. I hate that there are so many commercials and you cannot skip through them. Then if you let the commercials play and return to the show, it skips around to different parts. I exited the app without closing because a commercial was on, and when I reentered the app it has taken me back to the beginning of the show. When I tried to fast forward I had to watch two more sets of commercials before I was able to see the show and I have no idea which parts I may have fast forwarded past-because if I try to go back I have to watch 6-8 more commercials. It’s ridiculous. I have no issue with there being commercials, because on regular television there is also. I have an issue with the fact that this is an app and besides the fact that you can’t skip past them, they are the same commercials over and over.

Ads are ridiculous. I downloaded the app to “catch up on previous seasons” and it’s incredibly annoying, I would understand one or two commercial breaks throughout newer episodes - but to have 3 minute ad spaces every 5-8 minutes of viewing is annoying. Half the time the app freezes too, which then starts the show over making me sit through the SAME ADS for a 100th time. It is not worth it to me honestly to get through a 30 minute episode with 15 minutes of commercials (making total time 45 minutes!) I would honestly pay a subscription fee to avoid any ads because of how annoying they are!! Wish I could “binge” as advertised all over.

Too many ads. There are so many ads throughout the shows it makes you not even want to watch it anymore. there’s been so many times i’ll just do something else on my phone just because the ads are so annoying and ridiculous. Sometimes it will kick you out randomly, and then when you go back to try and watch where you left off, it will start it over or it will play from the wrong spot. The shows that are “continue watching” aren’t even shows that i’ve clicked on to watch, and i’ll have to search for it just to find the show i was watching and like i said it will start it over. it’s such a hassle. PLEASE FIX ASAP!!!!

Needs one more thing. Hello to people reading my review. I love the TLC go app I can watch any episode I want from a huge selection. What I really want fixed is a way to still watch but to be in a different app if there was a button to make the screen smaller and you could go into a different app and still be watching. I have been wanting that. Also there are WAY too many ads dile down the ads people it is really annoying especially if you are at a good part in your show. I hope you consider my feedback, Anonymous

Too many locked episodes. I really hate that I would have to pay for a tv subscription in order to watch most shows on this app. I don’t watch tv very often, so it doesn’t make sense for me to have a full service, but I still want to enjoy a couple shows here and there like Little People Big World and L.A. Ink. I could almost understand keeping current episodes locked, but even old ones aren’t accessible! Most other tv apps I have will at least post an episode the day after it has aired, and keep it unlocked for a week or so, then lock it. I’d appreciate having a chance to see more options than what are currently available.

Worst TV channel app out there. I love having access to the shows on TLC, but this app has a LOT of issues. It randomly has video play issues (esp. with the newly released episodes), and also sometimes has issues with recognizing provider access - ex: It will say my Direct TV won’t allow access to a show I was watching 5 minutes prior & then won’t allow you to sign out of the app within the app itself. It tells you to go to your device settings. I’ve had to uninstall & reinstall this app several times just to get it working again. Too many commercials (!) as others have said.

Has some issues. Seems to work relatively fine when using it on my iPhone or iPad. Occasionally I will have to log back in but my biggest issue is when I try to use the app on my tv. Anytime the commercials end, the episode will not automatically resume. I have to skip forward then skip back to resume. It also doesn’t give me the option to “continue watching” episodes like I can on my iPhone or iPad. I have to search for the show I want to watch. If I get part way through an episode on my iPad, I can’t pick up where I left off on my tv with the app. Needs some work.

Cust serv HELP. EDIT: This does not sound like a good solution to me. If I sign out of my TV provider, then doesn’t that mean I have to sign into every single TV app that I have again? What an inconvenience! Seems to me your developer should be able to find a solution to this without inconveniencing the people that use your app. So I tried this. Now it says the content is not in my subscription-which it is. I give up. Guess I’ll delete TLC GO app for good as its worthless to me. I tried to submit a question at the link given in other reviews asking for help to get logged in and THAT form doesn’t work. I’ve seen several other reviews with the same problem. PLEASE get this bug fixed. I get a circle for a few seconds and it never takes me to a sign in page.

Stopped working. As MANY other reviews have stated, the ads are a little excessive. I would pay for an ad-free version in a heartbeat. My bigger concern is that after binging several episodes of one of my favorite TLC series, the episodes will no longer play for me! I am signed in to my cable provider on the app, and was able to watch multiple episodes with no problem. Suddenly I go to watch another episode and none will play! I keep getting an error message that states “this episode is only available if you have the network tv package” which I most certainly do. I ended up finding the episode online without ads, and will be deleting the TLC go app as it is now useless. How sad.

Love it for the most part. For the most part this app is great! This will probably my sound like a big complaint but really the few things I have to say are just minor improvements I’d like. First is the commercials. During the commercial breaks I sometimes get the Enterprise commercial 3 or 4 times during one break. The commercial is super annoying with Kristen Bell does this “HONK HONK”.... 4 times in a row. Secondly sometimes in the middle of a live show it randomly pops up a message saying it cannot be watched live, but then will start back where it left off. The biggest improvement I would LOVE to see is for the app to automatically go to the next episode while I’m trying to binge watch a show. That all being said, I love that I can watch so much on TLC and it’s all at my fingertips! It’s still a great app, just needs a little improvement.

It’s good but not👎. At first it was a good app I’ve had the app for two years and it’s been good I guess, but whenever there is a new season for the shows I like to watch they are locked for a long time. And I don’t the subscriptions that you have to use to get free episodes. It’s stupid. I love cake boss and the episodes haven’t been unlocked for almost 2 years now and I wish they were. Sorry to put all these complaints on you but step it up a little bit please. Otherwise it’s a good app😕

Login doesn’t work. I used to be able to watch all episodes of my favorite TLC programs using cable. Loved it. For some reason many of the episodes now are still locked. I’m unable to get into the login to put my account information in. When I click onto the login it just spins for a second and then nothing. Very frustrating because it just started. So at this point unable to watch any episodes.

Got some serious functionality issues.. Great app in theory. Found some super consistent and annoying issues that I’d love to see cleared up. 1. Whenever I hit “pause” while watching something, the app crashes with an error: “We’re sorry, we encountered a problem and can’t stream this program right now.” Gotta hunt down the episode again all the way from the main menu. Then it doesn’t remember where you left off, so you have to watch a ton of ads in order to find your spot. 2. “Continue watching” list does not update or reflect properly. It displays old completed episodes despite manually trying to hide them (“Remove from watchlist” does nothing), and it doesn’t list the next episode of your last watched program or season. Again, have to manually hunt it down every single time from the main menu. 3. Ads, ads, so many ads! I get why they’re necessary, but c’mon. 6 ads every 5 minutes is excessive.

Missing Key Usability Features. I’ve only had the app a couple weeks. After the recent updated it no longer features recently watched row or displays the watch bar on episodes. Had to click in and out to figure out where I left off. Then while Casting to a device I stopped it/paused. When I resumed moments later on my phone it made me watch commercials again and restarted the episode from the beginning. Frustrating and not very user friendly.

Says my information is always wrong.. I hate this app. Every time I try to log in it always says I’m either putting in the wrong email, password,or account number. I have had all of these since I bought my first computer etc......... And the account number I get off my bill. So tell me what’s the problem. Got so tired of trying that I finally said forget it and stop trying to get this app. Worst App I’ve ever tried to get. Now I try to post this and it won’t let me post it without giving it at least 1 star. Don’t want to give it any stars because this app Ain’t worth a crap. So I’ll have to give it 1 star just to get this posted. What a joke!!!!,!!!!

Streaming Let Down. I was super excited to have mobile access of all of my favorite TLC shows. However, the amount of ads you have to sit through is absolutely insane. I understand the economic benefits for ads, and have seen them well-done through other TV networks. The number of ads in this app though...THROUGH THE ROOF. You have to sit through a “previously on” after just steaming that episode and can’t even make it through the re-cap before having to watch EIGHT ads and it gets no better throughout the rest of the show. With how competitive the streaming market is these days, this app is...embarrassing.

Worst app and website ever. Let’s start withe app. It stopped letting me sign in and couldn’t watch anything. Uninstalling the app and reinstalling it doesn’t work either. After multiple attempts I decided to email them but still no response. Website. So I’m done with this app. Omg even worst. If you dare to pause it or rewind a little you will be watching commercials all over again or it even restarts the episode and you have to decide either to watch it from the begging or dare to fast forward it and watch commercials ALL OVER AGAIN FOR AN ETERNITY. I mean this is probably how they get their views. So annoying!!!! And it forgets whats the next episode there’s been times it took me back three episodes. So now before I start the next one I check that it’s the correct one.

Pretty good. A lot people don’t like cause of the ads but remember that’s how they make money!! I think this pretty good app you can watch a head or catch up. You can also unlock episodes with your tv provider(which was quite easy to do) Also it may look like a lot of adds but at a time the adds were less then 3 minuets. In total you probably only get about 10 minutes in the show The only thing that I don’t like is it can be a little laggy sometimes well.... that’s it bye!!!

App doesn’t work. I have been using this for over 2 years. In the beginning having to resign in was a hassle but it at least worked. Now as of a few months ago or more I can’t even sign in. My fire tv app works just fine. I have spectrum and can’t even get the sign in portion to open enough to let me sign in to my provider. A few weeks to a month ago it let me get that far and wouldn’t even recognize my credentials even though I am signed into spectrum tv and my spectrum on my phone so my log in credentials are the same. I don’t understand why it is taking so long to either update or ditch this app and develop an app that works better.

Worst TV Streaming app. I’ve recently cut the cable TV cord so I’m totally dependent on apps. Therefore, I use many TV streaming apps. TLCgo is by far the worst! First, you cannot binge watch, as advertised. Current season episodes are locked. The ability to unlock is not supported for the service on which I watch the TLC channel. Then, there’s the ads. As mentioned in other reviews, there are more ads than content. There are 5-7 ads per commercial break. And, always the same ads repeatedly. It takes at least 3 hours to watch a 2 hour show. As if that’s not enough of an issue, the ads pop up at random points during viewing. Right in the middle of a conversation, for example. I will definitely uninstall the app as it is essentially useless.

Hate it. I have this app on my fire stick and what I can’t stand about it, is the ads. I understand having some ads but when you try to fast forward, before you can even go as far as you’d like, it cuts you off and shows you several repetitive ads. Once it resumes, if you are still not at the part you want to be at, when you try to fast forward again, it only allows for you to go so far before it shows you the SAME REPETITIVE ads. Y’all need to improve the fast forward feature ASAP. That is soooo annoying. I should be able to skip as far as I want to without being interrupted by an ad. I don’t have this problem with any other network streaming apps. Just this one. FIX IT

Does not link with tv provider correctly. When logging in with my tv provider information, the app says the network is not part of my current cable package. Not only do I pay for the channel and it IS part of my package, I can literally watch the channel on tv yet the app states it’s not part of my cable package. This is unacceptable and the only app with this issue. Please fix this

App works sometimes. This app works sometimes when it wants to work. My cable provider is Xfinity and TLC is part of my subscription. I get a warning stating “This content is available to viewers who receive TLC as part of their pay TV subscription” every time I try to watch a show. I’m logged into my carrier because it shows it in the upper right hand corner. I’ve tried logging out of my carrier and logging back in, uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, checked to make sure the station isn’t down which it isn’t because it clearly shows on my tv, and I’ve restarted my phone several times just to be sure. This app needs to be updated to fix the bugs in it.

Not worth it.. If I could easily watch TLC shows any other way, I would. The app consistently signs me out on all my devices so I have to constantly reconnect, the ads are tedious and seemingly match the show in length, as in I watch 10 minutes of a show and then 6 ads. Sometimes the ads will begin randomly in the middle of a sentence within the show, and sometimes there are two rounds of 6 ads in a row. The organization of the app is terrible, and the shows I recently watched and where I left off are never to be found, so I have to search within the app every time for a show I’ve been watching for days. Yes I get to watch trash shows that I love, but at what cost.

Worst app I've ever used. Not only does it randomly lock me out and I have to keep signing back in, it's incredibly, unbelievably, slow on any device I have used. It misspells any letter I type in. Currently it won't even let me sign in, as when I try to do so and enter my password, the sign-in pop-up just takes me to a Discovery Channel webpage instead of a "you're now logged in" notification. If I click out of this pop-up, the episodes are still locked, so I can't watch a single thing. Again, this is on multiple devices and I've done every troubleshooting step that exists. Infuriating problems with this app have been happening since I first downloaded it many months ago. I've never seen an app so poorly made, and I've had iOS devices since 2007.

Not easy to use with latest iOS. I have a new iPhone 13 and the latest iOS. When watching shows, it is impossible to scroll ahead or back while watching the show, because the bar is so close to the bottom of the screen. When you touch it, your phone responds as if you are trying to swipe the app closed. Very frustrating, I hope you will fix it in the next update. Thank you

Great concept, OK features. It has wonderful content with most of the TLC shows and up to date episodes. However, It does not save my place in tv shows, so I have to remember episode and time markers. It crashes the app when I try to pause, losing my place. It gives the options to “continue watching” if you sign in, but I’m signed in with no ability to save shows or time remaining. Despite these issues, I do enjoy the access to shows and plenty of episodes for each show. App needs work to be a way to stream current content, but that shouldn’t be an issue as that is not what the app is expected to do.

No Ads! *knocks on wood*. This app is really great. I didn’t have to sign in with my tv provider information and i have all episodes unlocked if the series “Outdaughtered” I really recommend this app. However, the only problem I have with this app is that there are no fast forward and rewind buttons. And when you try to do it yourself, it doesn’t work that well. But, there hasn’t been a single advertisement so far! *knocks on wood again*

Annoying feature ... It’s a good app never had issues streaming and the commercials aren’t too long or too frequent but when they do come on it’s literally the same commercials in the same exact order every time and it gets severely annoying. I will say it is super annoying that every time I open the app I have to sign in with my provider all over again. Even if I pause the show I’m watching and my phone goes to sleep and I go to hit play it’s like it logs u back out. It’s super annoying.

Constantly kicks me off!. I have no issue with any other app kicking me off, but this app does it constantly. And it never keeps my place in the show. So I have to fast forward to the spot I was at and then watch 7 commercials again after I just watched them when I got kicked off! It’s annoying. And it keeps telling me I have bad internet connection and I check it and it tells me I have an excellent connection. I tried the app on my phone to be fair and it does the same thing. On WiFi and 4G. This app is honestly garbage.

NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I’ve had this app a very long time and it worked great until about a month ago, now every time I want to use it I have to delete the entire app and then install it again. I can only use it a single time, if I even pause it for too long and my iPad locks it stops working and gets stuck on the red loading screen. I contacted CS but got a generic reply thanking me for apparently sending fan mail?? Unacceptable. Clearly I am not the only one with this issue but they seemingly just don’t care. Also, when it does decide to work WHY SO MANY ADS?! I’m paying for this with my cable subscription, why am I getting more ads to watch than the actual shows?

Good app could be great w/a few tweaks. I love love love TLC and TLCgo. I never have any problems with the app. Unlike the other reviewers I get the need for commercials. I’ve also discovered the length of my viewing time in a time period, (read: binge) the fewer commercials I get. I.e when I approach an hour or longer into a binge fest it seems the commercials become fewer or longer in between. Again, it appears to be. All of that said, I would truly enjoy a 10 or 30 second *skip back/forward* feature and mostly an *auto play* next episode option. When I use the slider/scrub method to rewind, it is always a disaster and also causes more commercials. As Dr Nowzaradan (600lb life) would say “this is unacceptable.” lol There you have it..my wish list 1. Skip option 2. Auto play next episode. These would make the app even greater to watch TLCs awesome content.

After years, still doesn’t work. Least favorite app to watch shows on. You’d think they could figure it out. I have to watch my shows in 10 minute intervals (kids) and whenever I do the app has lost where I am at in the show so I’m trying to figure out where I am and so they make make watch 10 minutes of commercials until I finally find the place I am and by that time I don’t have time to watch anymore. RIDICULOUS! And not to mention them constantly making me watch the same 3 commercials that don’t apply to me. Not once have I ever watch a horror movie, nor do I want to see it while watching a family friendly show.

My FAVORITE app!!!!. I absolutely LOVE this app!! It’s the one I use the most! I do have a concern with the amount of commercials but to be able to watch my favorite shows while away from home is worth it to me! Only other concern is most times when you try to pause it for what ever reason it gives you a message that something has went wrong and then you not only have to find the show again but you have to start all over! So maybe those two things could be adjusted just a tad bit then this would be the APP OF THE YEAR!! Lol

Never works on the tv. Airplay never works right. Constant errors, disconnects, and random skips after commercial breaks. You can’t even get back to your previous spot. After it disconnects you are sent backwards to the beginning after each commercial break. Want to then skip ahead? Well enjoy having to watch a commercial break only to get sent back to the start. Want to watch on the big screen another way? Well the browser has similar issues where we can’t get past commercials and so does the xbox app (it literally freezes and never remembers any logged in info). It is insane how hard it is to get through a single episode anywhere.

Needs work!!. I’m signed into the app with my tv cable provider. I’ll watch a good 3 or 4 episodes and then it’ll either sign me out or most of the time it randomly tells me I can only watch it if I pay for tlc with my cable subscription....when I’ve already been watching it. Super frustrating when this is the main way I’m able to watch tv most days. Why pay for it if you can’t watch it? UPDATE: I’ve seen multiple reviews with the same issue and instead of fixing the problem they just tell you to contact customer service because there’s a problem on your end. No. It’s TLCs problem. Fix it.

Fix the way you show commercials. I like that I can watch shows from my tablet on the go, but there are too many commercials. Between 7-9. This might not be that much when watching tv, but when trying to watch a show on a phone or computer, I swear, I forget what I was even watching by the time the show comes back on. Also, there’s no way to scrub ahead or back, to find a specific scene without reactivating all the commercials again! For example, let’s say for some reason the app closes and it didn’t save where I was in the episode, imagine watching 14 commercials going back and forth trying to find where you left off. So frustrating!

App. My Tv just went out after 11 years of faithful service. S o, I down loaded this app. I am able to watch entire episodes and unseen footage of my favorite shows, on my iPad without interruption. Clear pictures and audio reception. I was happy and surprised, as other similar apps are not easily loaded. It turned my iPad into a TV. There are commercial advertisements, just like real tv. I am buying another tv today. I travel frequently and now I know where I will be able to watch my shows when I am on the road. Thank you.

Video playback is ok but why does it sort shows so weird. All of the shows are sorted by newest episode first. Which means anytime you watch something you have to scroll to the right about 50 times. When it lists the shows you have watched recently, it’s the same. You have the show you haven’t watched most recently on screen and have to scroll wayyyyy over to the right to see the last show you watched. It also breaks up the same show into multiple entries (ie 90 day s5 e2, s2 e6, etc). I wish it sorted like other video streaming services with your most recently watched on the opening screen.

Trouble staying logged in to cable provider. The app overall works fine. The biggest and most annoying problem is that at least once a day I have to unlink and relink my cable provider. I’ll be logged in, watching an episode, close the app, come back later to keep watching and it gives me an error saying something to the effect of “this program is only for viewers who are logged in with their cable provider”. I go to the menu and it still shows I’m linked to my provider, so I have to go in, unlink, and relink/sign in to my provider again. It’s nonsensical and frustrating.

The Ads Are Awful. The programming around the ads appears to have taken front seat to that of the actual content... which makes it nearly impossible to watch anything in its entirety. Casting is unstable, ads get stuck and the video freezes forcing a restart which doesn't save your space so you have to fast forward to the estimated place only to be hit with all the ads all over again. My advice: if you want to have effective advertising get the product to work first and get it to a point where people are happy to sit through the ads, and build them in so they function properly and store which ones you've seen on which video. I've given up and moved on to another network.

The App that chokes and locks after two episodes on iPad. This app locks up if you dare to watch a third episode! Then closing the app isn't enough. When you reopen the app all you get is the opening splash with TLC to Go. I have had to uninstall and reinstall install too many times and each time I have to log in again and any setting I had is gone. Then I wanted to let them know about the problem and was redirected to their site where they collected more info before I could get to state my complaints. I feel we are entitled to have an app that works or they should take it down. As far as I'm concerned I have paid for the app and all the episodes that they have on it via my cable bill. I'm not impressed and will inform my cable company.

Help me out TLCGO!!!. I know everyone is complaining about the number of commercials, and yes I agree it is annoying...BUT it is a “free” app after all! I could deal with the commercials IF there were a FREAKING REWIND option! I have 3 kids, a husband, a dog, a cat, and a freaking goldfish, that ALL seem to interrupt my viewing pleasure and I just need to rewind by a few seconds and not have to guess where I am going to land and watch more commercials when I have to rewind (haven’t I already been patient enough to have watched the commercials the first go around?) Come on TLC help a girl out!

Sooo unfair!!!. I absolutely LOVE these shows! I could watch them from Morning til night... The reason I give it 1 star is....We have Spectrum, but, we have WiFi and not the 500 channels that you have to take a loan out every month to pay!!! And we still pay an unbelievable escalated price. So, why is it that we pay so much for a phone and internet but yet, we don’t get to watch the TV shows! I think it is ridiculous!!! So, we have to wait until someone gets generous to give us a freebie season! It really angers me! It makes you want to just tell spectrum to come and get their things and go away!!! It’s just not fair to spend that kind of money and NOT get the full benefits!!! Kathy

New update :(. I use this app all day connected to my TV. When the update first came out, it was impossible to use the TLCgo app connected to the tv and do other things on my phone at the same time. I noticed this has been fixed, which is good. Since the update I get error messages in the middle of the shows constantly, and when I go to refresh it, the show starts from the beginning instead of starting at the time stamp when the error popped up. This causes me to have to sit through several ads until I get to the correct spot in the show. This is frustrating. Hopefully this bug is patched soon.

Awful App with Torturous Ads. Agree with the other comments. Over repetitive commercials, often times displays low resolution and crashes. Cuts out right in the middle of a program and in most cases, doesn’t allow you to resume, so you relaunch the app, fast forward to where it left off and boom, another long string of commercials. I’ve seen other apps like MTV and there’s no long stretch of commercials, dropped resolution or crashing. The menu layout is backwards and not easy to navigate. As much as I like their programs I have to take a break from their nerve wrecking app and watch smoother go apps. I don’t think TLC is reading their “go app” reviews otherwise they would of completely overhauled this flaw ridden app by now. TLC, please find more sponsors, you’re killing your viewers!

Broadcast to TV never works. This feature is available 10% of the time. It seems to come and go on episodes old and new for no apparent reason at all. Very aggravating. Not sure why it isn’t always available and why sometimes it just disappears. Also your ads are a joke. App quits mid show and you want to go back in to watch your show? Goodluck fast forwarding to where you left off. You’ll have to rewatch all the commercials that led up to where you left off which adds up fast especially if you were near the end of the show. No thanks. I usually just don’t finish the episode because it’s not worth watching twelve minutes of commercials to see the last ten minutes of show. Your shows aren’t that good.

Problem Solved. Not sure if there’s a bug in the app, but it won’t even let me log into my cable provider. I’ll press on it and it’ll just give me a loading circle and it’ll go away. Even if I try to watch an episode without logging in (which I can’t even log in) the videos won’t open. Was really looking forward to watching some shows, but very disappointed. Update: Customer support reached out and solved all of my issues! Turns out it was a very simple fix. Great app but hoping for shorter ad breaks in the future!

Fix the bugs!. I love this app, especially when we get to watch content early. I’ve never had any issues until lately where I’m getting notifications that I must be a cable subscriber to view content. I have cable and am signed in, but this happens even while I’m watching an episode. If I have to close the app for any period of time, it will not allow me to return to the episode I was just watching! The only solution for troubleshooting is to delete and redone load the app. I’m having to do this many times a week!

It won’t work pt2. Thank you, I tried it again today it works fine now. I know before I left a 4 star review I did some thinking and really I feel that this app deserves a 5 star. I mean the shows are good and currently the app is working fine and the ads may be a pain but almost every streaming app has them. The ads aren’t long sometimes you watch one and other times you watch 7.

Always buggy. Hardly works while casting. I have to continually disconnect and reconnect or check to see if it needs to be updated to work. It’s disconnected me twice for me to resign in to my cable twice in an hour. There’s no way to see where in the episode you are skimming through trying to find where you were before I had to say any of the aforementioned things. It’s annoying. I’ve reached out numerous times to app support and maybe it was placebo because it helped until the next time. I have an iPhone 13 pro and a chromecast, it’s not me it’s you
