They don’t have a paid subscription for you to opt in for, but require you to have a tv subscription to watch most of the shows they show. I’ll get ads on IDGO for states that are literally on the other side of the country that don’t pertain to me at all. Even with the comments they make saying it runs the same amount of ads as regular tv, even with regular tv, it will still show different ads/commercials and also ones that pertain to my area. Also it’s extremely annoying that they will literally play the same ad throughout the entire show you’re watching. There are too many ads that play too frequently at about 3 minutes a piece, regardless of your tv subscription. Honestly, it’s absolutely not worth downloading even with a tv subscription. If I had on demand I could fast forward through them, but that is no longer an option with AT&T. I can’t use Comcast anymore because they have so many issues in my area, but I pay for cable specifically for ID access. I just want to add that I will never consider any of the products or services that are advertised during these shows because it is so excessive, it actually is making me hate the companies advertising. I would pay extra for an ad free experience. You can’t fast forward or rewind without having to sit through commercials, even if you went to the spot you left off on and were wrong. I just paused it to take a phone call, and when I went back to IDGO to continue playing the episode it refreshed so I lost the show I was watching and had to start from the beginning.which means having to sit through an insane amount of commercials. I don’t even understand how it decides which shows to log in continue watching because it’s so random. It usually doesn’t save the shows I’m watching under “continue watching”. I love ID content, and I switched cable providers to ensure I still had ID but having AT&T I don’t get ID on demand like I did with Comcast, so I need to use IDGO with chromecast. I hope you find these suggestions helpful! It looks like there’s plenty of room to use a bigger font or use bigger font with “cont’d” button (or scroll) if more room is needed (the orig air date is also a bit small). Lastly, once you open a show title, the episode description is so small you can barely read it. Like, if I typed in “Murd.” all shows would pop up that have those letters then just scroll over to the show I want. OR have the search on that page (instead of redundant search feature) & the show name would pop up as you’re typing. It would be better if they were in groups such as “A-D”, “E-H”, etc. It’s nice that they’re all listed (& in alphabetical order) but it takes forever to scroll through all of them if you need to get to one towards the end. Another complaint is the “All Shows” feature. Usually I end up exiting IDGO & going back in just to get to home page. Can’t you put that option in “*Options”? Instead you have to go back, back, back (however many screens you’ve clicked on) until you’re lucky enough to finally find the home page. My biggest complaint is that once you open IDGO & start searching there’s no easy way to get back to the home screen. I really love the ID Channel but the TV app (thru Roku) can be frustrating. These issues have made my time spent watching IDGO SO FRUSTRATING, to where it’s very difficult to enjoy watching the shows! Please, PLEASE work these bugs out quickly! I see from other reviews a majority of these problems have been occurring for several months. The LAST time it crashed in the middle of an episode, when I reloaded IDGO and went to resume watching, there were red keys on EVERY show and NOTHING would play, due to “parental control services technical issues”!!! I was still signed in with my cable provider, and there was absolutely NO WAY on IDGO nor the website to set or turn off parental controls!! I ended up having to completely uninstall IDGO and reinstall and reactivate it!! Then I must try to locate this point, and more often than not, it takes 3-4 times skipping through the show as a result, I must then endure a series of 5-8 ads each time, which ends up totaling anywhere from 15-24 ads BACK TO BACK before I am FINALLY able to resume the show. So then I have to locate the show again, and start it from the beginning, and TRY to remember where I was. Then when I restart IDGO, SOMETIMES the show I was watching will appear in the “Continue Watching” category, but more likely, it’s not there. IDGO will TOTALLY shut down at LEAST once during EACH show I try to watch. However, for the last couple of months it has started acting up. I love ID channel and for the first several months, I loved IDGO.
