Like that it has so many shows available, but wish there was a way to get rid of the commercials . Like if you're logged in to your direct TV service or if you pay for the app, it should be commercial-free. OR, if there HAS TO BE commercials, bot have them be so long! A large part of wanting to use the app, especially if paying for it, is because you think there will be no commercials, or very short, limited interruption commercial time. Why pay for something that is just like the free version

Hi Justine, ads are vital to the service we provide. So right now there's not a way to stream without ads. We mirror the ad time based on your traditional TV service, so you’ll never have to watch more than two or three minutes of ads at a time.

I ❤️ animal planet!! The app does need work though. It has a "lot" of problems. It glitches & freezes a lot, I have to turn off my phone to unfreeze it. When you come back to a show you were watching it will send you to the beginning making you have to keep watching long commercials to try to find where you left off. This was an issue from the day I downloaded the app and clearing my cache and data is done often. AZO commercial played 5x's in a row! I thought it playing 2x's in a break was bad!

Way too many commericals that run about 168 seconds at a time. You get so tired of it that you lose interest in the program you are trying to watch! I got the app to watch and support the Irwins and I enjoy the education, excitement and adventures that Animal Planet Go app offers but to be honest it's a struggle to sit through all of the commericals!
