Paid for the 1 year subscription and I can't even get anything to load after starting the app, when on mobile data. Edit after dev comment: Your strategy of uninstalling and reinstalling works great. Problem is, I have had to do this every single day. I have now uninstalled and reinstalled this app every morning for 4 days and if I don't do that, it'll just keep loading and loading and loading without going anywhere. This app used to work effortlessly a month ago.

I have this app so that I can watch NBA Team Pass to watch Denver Nuggets games. The app works good on my Android phone. However, I have a Roku device on 3 of my tv sets and here is where the problem occurs. The game on 10/24/22, would not play. On the following game, I could only watch the Lakers feed and not the Nuggets announcers. Further, I am unable to filter games by team like I was able to do last year. If I pause the game and then resume later, I have to start at the beginning.

We are on our 3rd year subscribing and using this app. Doesn't matter what we try to watch a game on, computer, TV, Tablet, it glitches the entire game jumping all over. It's so frustrating and infuriating. The glitching makes it so hard to see what happened. This is the most expensive subscription we have and by far the lowest in quality and reliability!!! Unfortunately if we want to watch the game we don't have any other option so we are just screwed.
