Animal Planet GO Reviews

by Intenseobservation

My favorite show on animal planet is “Monsters Inside Me”. Not all the shows require you to sign in with your TV subscription. Luckily this show which is the only one I am drawn to watching is free if you download AnimalPlanetGO . All the seasons are free which is cool, but there is one drawback. Commercials!!! Commercials are a big reason I don’t watch TV. The commercials are long, not relevant to anything and they can’t be skipped! Bypassing commercials is the big benefit to installing AnimalPlanetGO . I will rate it one star because I really hate being interrupted by commercials.

I pay cox cable an exhorant amount for cable and now I have to pay $4.99 and up if I miss a show or want to see one I used to watch but now I can’t because it’s on a streaming channel. This is too much!!! I’m on a fixed income, disability, and anyone who is trying to live on what they pay after you’ve worked your whole life and paid into it knows you don’t get enough to subsist on. My subscription with Cox is going to be canceled. I won’t pay them twice for the same thing, they rob you with their prices the first time around and now they try to get more out of you.

Ok I really like a couple of animal planet shows. However, its a couple minutes of show then several minutes of commercials. The same commercials over & over & over. Couldnt tell you how the episode went but I can list from memory what products I wont be buying. I already pay for the tv service. I already pay for the data I use to watch the tv service i pay for. Why the heaven help ya am I paying all that just to watch commercials over & over & over & over. Yup Im done.

AnimalPlanetGO itself runs well, and it’s great to be able to catch up on shows I’ve missed, as well as watch other shows that I haven’t seen yet. One huge downside is the length of the commercials. Every show has multiple commercial breaks, and those breaks can sometimes be over 3 minutes long. It’s excruciating! Another complaint I have is that sometimes it will log you out of your service provider, and you have to go through the entire login process again. That’s more of a minor annoyance, but the commercials are really bothersome.

This is not so much a review of AnimalPlanetGO , it is well organized and works great with my Apple TV, as a review of the commercial content. I watch “The Zoo” faithfully with my kids and recently every commercial break is filled with divisive political ads and constant promos for sister network ID serial killer and murder true crime shows. For example the last promo asked a woman on the witness stand how she felt as she slit her lovers throat..... Not every show on animal planet is for family watching but it would be nice if the commercials were.

AnimalPlanetGO has been reliably working for me and Unlocking shows by connecting automatically to my tv provider. However, now it prompts me to login with my password and user name to my TV provider. When I attempt to login I get stuck and all I see is a blank white box that never loads any content. I have tried restarting my iPad uninstalling and reinstalling AnimalPlanetGO multiple times and nothing has resolve this issue!

I love the shows on animal planet a lot but when I was binge watching a show it was working fine until I took a 10 minute break and then every time I tried to get it back on it said that I could only watch the show if we were paying for it on our tv provider, which we were so now I can’t watch the show and it won’t let me change settings or give me any information about why it could be doing this.

Sometimes when I open AnimalPlanetGO it’ll remember me and I won’t need to log back on. Sometimes I have to log back in which is fine. But sometimes, I’m in the middle of the episode and I’ll hit back to look at another episode or whatever and it’ll ask me to log in again. What’s the most frustrating is that this will happen, then it’ll say this content is not included in my account, when I was JUST watching that show. I’ll have to log back out then in again and then sometimes it’ll work, sometimes I’ll have to do this and force close AnimalPlanetGO . It’s a little annoying, but hey I get to watch old episodes of my favorite shows so it is what it is. I also feel like there are some episodes missing, like from out bulls and paroles.

I love Animal Planet shows and whenever I happen to miss one I know I can come here to watch it. However, as many have pointed out, there honestly are just way too many commercials! It seems like every 5 minutes it’s time for another 5-6 commercials, which is ridiculous. One other thing that bothers me is the captions - I’m not sure if there is a way to turn them off or not, but so far I haven’t been able to figure out if it’s possible or not. I understand that some people need them, but you should have the option of having them or not. Personally, for me, I find them annoying.

I enjoy many Animal Planet programs, am willing to put up with what seems like more commercials than normal, and would have given AnimalPlanetGO 5 stars except for one hugely annoying "feature": when some of the commercials come on they become extremely loud. I mean seriously loud enough to become a nuisance to others. I note the commercials because I will make certain that I never buy their product or service. Can't something be done? I don't have this problem with other apps - just Animal Planet GO so I know it's something specific to Animal Planet.

So I originally had a issue where animal planet app told me I never had a account when I did. I made a post and the support told me to delete and redownload. Well now every single day when I try to use AnimalPlanetGO it gives me a red key even though I’m logged into my tv provider and it tells me I don’t have any authorization to use AnimalPlanetGO and then I have to delete it and redownload it to work. Its freaking annoying to do every single day when I just want to relax and watch the shows. They need to fix this issue and quick. I have looked up fixes for my end and everything I see is that it’s on their end. I enjoy AnimalPlanetGO when it does decide to work that once a week and it has all my shows I like but I’m about to tell everyone to avoid using it at this point

You’d think an app would encourage a network to provide a better consumer experience than the traditional option (cable tv), yet the ad load is almost worst on AnimalPlanetGO . I’ve yet to make it through a full hour episode of any show because the ad load is unbearable and repetitive. I’d rather spend my time elsewhere.

In general, AnimalPlanetGO is designed wonderfully and I love all the content that’s available (multiple seasons). Fix the ad load, and I’ll login more.

Every time I go into AnimalPlanetGO it tells me to sign in again! I don’t personally know the password to our cable because my dad keep it private so every single time I wanna watch animal planet I have to go and have my dad refill in all the information so I can sign in. Even though I’ve signed im dozens of times before??
The ads also get on my nerves. I would honestly get less ads just watching animal planet on cable. Why so many? Every 5 minutes I get like 5-6 ads and it takes a lot of time?

I love AnimalPlanetGO it’s awesome 👏🏻 good job! But 2 things that I personally hate 🙄is that you have to sign in to watch some shows and the last thing I hate is that there are soooo many adds! Sometimes there are 9 adds I think that there should always be 3 or 4 adds! That’s it for my request you should take it into consideration!🙏🏻🙏🏻😊

I love Animal Planet with all of my heart and The Vet Life, Scaled, and My Cat From Hell are pretty much my favorite shows right now but AnimalPlanetGO ads are far worse than the repetitive ads on the AP channel. I would love to give a 5 star rating if the number of ads was limited from 6-8 to maybe 3 or 4 that vary in some way. I understand the profits from airing commercials but there has to be some other way. Please Animal Planet please do something about these terrible ads.

I absolutely love AnimalPlanetGO I can watch almost all my favorite shows. The reason I said almost is because you have to sign into your tv provider to watch some some shows . And that isn’t fair . I like a show called My Cat From Hell . And I can’t each it because of that . And the adds ! I am sure everyone hates those 😡! But besides those AnimalPlanetGO is amazing and and awesome and I highly recommended it. 👍👍👍 And it is a good app to learn about your furry , feathery and scaly friends . It might be a bit of a sat show but I recommend pit bulls and parolees. I also recommend my cat from hell 🐈🐈🐈. If you are looking to be a wild life vet or you want to own a zoo I would recommend Chicky it’s the Arwens

This is an excellent app because if you love animals you can pick and choose which one you want to see the quality of watching these videos on this particular app is even better

Love AnimalPlanetGO , and all the shows it has to offer. Wish it had more Crocodile Hunter episodes. One problem I have with AnimalPlanetGO , is it wouldn’t allow me to log into my Tv provider for over 6 MONTHS!! Just now I’m able to FINALLY log in and watch the shows I love. Great app with even greater shows, has some serious operating issues though.

I have grown up watching Animal Planet. My love of animals came from my grandfather. We always watched anything that had anything to do with animals. Now that I am grown and have my own family I have continued the tradition of watching anything with animals. The Animal Planet app makes it so easy to keep up with our favorite shows even when we are not at home. Thank You Animal Planet!💜💜

I love animals and how they interact with each other and people, and seeing caring people helping each other and animals. I also love to learn new things. These shows give me a chance to do all of this without having to put up with the gratuitous violence, hatred and all round unpleasantness of many other shows.

Hey, no problem with AnimalPlanetGO . I can even live with the excessive commercials. What I can’t live with is when there are the same two commercials, played ad nauseum, as in the same commercial of some trashy show called Fiancée or Family THREE TIMES IN A ROW. No. Uh uh. I don’t mean once. I mean, like 3 times in a row every ten minutes (and then two of the stupid dog one). I get that you want to sell your vulgar very NOT animal related reality show, but BOY are you going about it the wrong way. Not only will I never. Ever. EVER watch that show, if it were possible, I would electronically murder it. I mean, wrap my hands around its stupid throat and squeeze until those screaming banshees and the shrill three note background “music” were silenced for eternity. SURELY you have other sponsors. SURELY you could freaking mix it up a bit, couldn’t you??

I just can’t. Feeling under the weather and wanted to binge on cat from hell, but it was making me hate Jackson Galaxy and even slightly resenting the cats, which I thought was impossible. I can’t kill the commercials but by god, I can kill AnimalPlanetGO...and it’s going to die a slow, horrible, painful death.

PS what in the utter HELL does some staged trashy reality show about a bunch of screaming harridans have to do with animals???
