  1. Thank you so much for these Discovery+ paranormal new program updates.
    If it wasn’t for your help highlighting the paranormal for me I was ready to cancel my subscription.
    Their app is impossible to easily navigate to find any new programming.

    Oh wow! Thank YOU for taking the time to let me know these prove helpful! I’m sorry to hear the app isn’t user-friendly though. It’s been such a big change/adjustment to the new format it isn’t as easy to know what to expect as it used to be. But you’ve encouraged me to keep making sure to publish these updates though so I will!!! Happy streaming…or screaming as they might say!
