How can I check if Discovery Plus is down?

Those who may be experiencing difficulties with Discovery Plus can check another social media app such as Twitter for reports.

If one doesn’t have access to a Twitter account, DownDetector will tell users when most apps are down or experiencing difficulties.

If it appears the problem may not be widespread, one can try checking their internet connection or exiting the app before logging back in.
