Ratings and reviews

Picture quality... solid. But trying to skip forward or backward makes me want to throw my phone. It's even worse on the TV app where I can't slide my finger hours ahead if I just want to check out the 4th quarter of a game. Finding games to watch, easy. Choices of broadcasts, abundant. But doing anything other than pressing play and letting the game run is infuriating. It's baffling how far behind things like YouTube and Netflix this is.

I don't know what's wrong with this app but it needs to be fixed asap. You can't browse on it for more than a minute without it freezing up and crashing.. you'd be lucky to check 2 different box scores before it crashes and you have to close it out and try all over again.. I know a lot goes into this app maybe the server it's on just can't handle everything that goes into it

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.
