Bleacher Report: Sports News Positive Reviews
BR app is apart of my daily social media line upThis app lets you pick your favorite teams and access articles and news on them through a easy to understand user interface. I also love how you can turn off notifications for each individual sport so when basketball is in the off-season I turn off notifications while I pay attention to football. Also it has an active, yet sometimes rowdy, user base to there are tons of ways to connect with fellow fans and see what people think after games or breaking news.
One criticism however: can we please go back to showing season stats for players for the upcoming game match ups? I don’t care what the stats for the last game were and often it doesn’t impact the current game all too much. Wanna see season stats..AmkaksskskifskskskvjVersion: 7.6.0
It’s alrightI’ll start off by saying when I try to read articles not written by Bleacher report the fully loaded page turns white making it literally impossible to read. Kind of annoying and it’s only when it’s non bleacher report articles. iPhone Xs
The rest is about Bleacher report itself.
Annoyed of the constant click baiting when I just want good sports knowledge. Constant errors in the writing, it doesn’t seem like they have an editor. Sometimes it’s really minor stuff like a misspelled word. Most writing programs have a spell check feature so it’s really bothersome that the writer couldn’t click a few extra buttons to make the article better but I think it’s actually representative of the writing in general. I don’t think much time or care is taken with the assignments. I definitely think they are more interested in getting you to click something rather than making sure whatever they write is worth clicking. I am slowly and slowly finding myself just going to google and searching for writers who I know took time to write rather than go on the app and that’s kinda sad cause this app is really what got me into sports as much as I am. I understand you got to keep the lights on but I just want to be entertained or interested not bored or mad..Ibman55Version: 7.2.0
Functional, but confusing for PPVFirst time buying an AEW ppv on this app, and the stream worked fine on my Apple TV - no issues there, and the stream was high quality. However, the UI could really use some work for finding PPVs and finding your library afterwards. It’s hidden under “My Events” in my profile, when really it should have a dedicated tab for streams/purchases. The ATV app seems a little more simplified in this regard at least, which is where it counts.
Also an issue I ran into: I was logged into the app on my phone earlier in the day, before I bought the PPV. Then when I actually bought it, come to find out, I had been logged out at some point, so my purchase wasn’t associated with any BR account. Thought I threw out $50 because I couldn’t get it to play on the native ATV app when I was signed in, but luckily I found the link to “sign in to link my purchase” on the stream on my phone. It just made it kind of hassle to get it to show up on the ATV BR app, and I’m not sure the average person would have been able to figure it out. Might be a good idea to make that link or a restore purchases option more visible/obvious..CjrennisonVersion: 9.6.0
Good app, this would make it better/more convenient.Great app. I love the articles. I would give a 5 star, if you had a way to see previously read articles or were able to favorite preciously read articles like the “News” app on iPhone. It makes it incredibly more convenient and easier to share articles or refer back to an article when needed. I’ve given up on multiple occasions when trying to find an article I’m referencing when talking to friends or family or when I’m trying to see if someone’s responded to my comment. Locating a previously read article is so difficult, I’ve been unsuccessful with finding some articles even after going to bleacher report after a few minutes, notably if the article is under the “Fire” category. Usually, I have to do a google search of the terms I remember + bleacher report just to pull up a previously read article. This issue should not be an issue in this day and age..Nogoodnicknameleft1234Version: 6.6.1
Alright but one major flawThe articles are not top tier, its very much a quantity over quality situaion. This is fine for me since I usually just pass time reading articles or checking scores.
The major issue I have is with the video player. It has a bad habit of playing a video from a different feed and it will play at the same time as a video you are viewing. So you get to hear two videos at once. Has been happening for over 6 months. Ive been using BR since 2014 and this is starting to push me to something else. Why cant you just play the audio for the video im looking at, why is it always some random video playing from the twitter feed that I never clicked on playing in the background or simueltaneously. Id give 5 stars if it wasnt for this because it really is great for getting scores and highlights quick. Sadly highlights cant be listened to because of this video player bug.Kole707Version: 9.12.0
OverwhelmingDon’t download unless you want to see/read a overwhelming number of Lebron James stories. They will pop up in every sport everyday. There are multiple articles about him regardless of what you follow. If he posted he was “walking to his car” there would be multiple articles about that post no matter what sport or team you follow. Also now that can be said about Deion Sanders and Colorado. There are dozens of articles written throughout the week about Deion/Colorado/his sons. Bleacher report could save a lot of money by cutting half the staff since 50% of stories are on those 2 even if you don’t follow them or their teams. By cutting half the staff with the money saved they can invest in making the app about the followers and what they want and not about Lebron and Deion. Use the money wisely or change your name to the “Lebron and Deion reports” so people know what they are actually downloading..Scottie3821Version: 9.45.1
My favorite sports app, but…This is my go to sports app for quick sports updates. In my opinion, it is (almost) superior to all others. It’s quick, fast, and gives me just about everything I want. My only drawback, for me it’s a big one, is that there are no “in-game” updates like from ESPN or TheScore. I still use these apps because I get in depth notifications of a TD alert, run scored alert, hockey goal or beginning of power play alert, each quarter-end updates, etc. If B/R adds this like these other apps have, then in my opinion they will have to best sports app on the AppStore. And I would have to use any other apps for anything. 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for now, but it’s game over if they add those in-game notifications..HurrikkaineVersion: 9.0.0
Notifications are weakPlease update the app to notify users when a game has started and ended. Also, update app with notifications for any and all scoring changes, which include notifications for when an inning/quarter/period ends along with scores. Notifications for starting lineups would also be great. If for some reason the app does offer these notification features then there needs to be an update to fix any bugs that are preventing me from receiving them. I have gone through the entire app to make sure I have all the notifications I want on but don’t receive anything related to what I’ve requested at the top. I bounce back and forth from Bleacher Report to The Score app because the latter does offer these notifications. The only thing is that those notifications come in unnecessary waves of useless info like podcasts alerts and stories that I don’t particularly care for..Chrisolivo17Version: 8.0.0
BR used to be the place to get news on our favorite teams.BR has stopped providing news stories on college basketball teams. Tried to contact them several times to only be told the issue is resolved. We follow Indiana University Basketball and there has not been any news provided since the Purdue game two weeks ago. I have confirmed others in the IU community are seeing the same issues. BR will not acknowledge there is a problem and will not fix the issue. BR is no longer a reliable source for anyones favorite teams.
It has been over a month and there no stories in the Indiana feed. I am getting NBA other CBB news in the IU feed. Why BR has decided to stop providing the news we want is absolutely crazy. Why would I want to see news on everything but my teams. It is time to delete the app and try to find my news somewhere else..JLBrittJrVersion: 9.4.0
Great app but missing one thingI’ve had bleacher report since it was on the old app and it was called Team Stream and I love it and use it everyday for my sports news. However, I have one thing I wish you guys would add. On the Scores page either under each matchup, or as part of the Game Info section under its preview could you please put what channel the game is being covered on? There are lots of games that I want to watch but am not sure where they are playing on tv and have to look it up somewhere else. Like the Copa America final today for example, it was on telemundo and I spent the first five minutes of the match looking for it online and on my guide. If you could add that this app would be perfect!
Thanks!.Kdhsksgsv. susVersion: 6.19.1
Buggy and poor filteringWith recent updates, the app tends to freeze up a lot, especially when trying to use the “back” button. I keep having to close the app and reopen to get back to the Home Screen.
My other issue is one that has plagued the app as long as I have used it. Poor content filters. Example 1: there is an overall NFL thread. I choose a thread for a specific team to filter out other news, yet in that team thread there are still articles that have nothing to do with that team. Example 2: There is a WWE thread. There is an AEW thread. Both of those threads have bleed-over. I would like to see the lists of stories in specific threads kept on-topic without the irrelevant articles that seem to be cross posted just for click bait. That defeats the purpose of topic-specific filtering at its premise..KrucifydVersion: 8.30
Decent not greatThis app is a good app. It will get you the information you want and then a whole lot more that doesn’t matter. They post article links that take you to paywalls on other sites regularly, they have their own writers who write click bait articles with no merit, the notifications no longer give preview pics/videos and on top it there’s a 50/50 chance that your page will encounter an error loading at any given time. I’ve had this app since the early 2010’s and watched it rise into a sports fan’s dream, only to sell out. They love to add features while not improving the app at all ie We don’t need your “experts” live-streaming about a topic they know as much about as the fans when we could have fast load times and well thought out articles. (I have great wifi and an updated phone).Rdude44Version: 9.20.0
SolidBleacher Report is a fun app for keeping up to date on sports news from your favorite teams and from around the sphere of the sports world in general. The layout is sleek and well polished. I really enjoy the Perfect Picks feature. If you get all of your picks correct, you are entered into a drawing with other winners for a gift card or prize, which is very cool!
The only downside of the app is the comment sections under every article are heavily moderated. This hinders the free flow of discussion, thoughts and certain opinions. While I agree that certain things shouldn’t be tolerated such as promotion of violence, you also shouldn’t be able to remove comments that you disagree with or find personally offensive. Some comment sections are even shut off. This is a bad look!.DMacLean15Version: 9.24.0
Easily the best for up to date sports news and highlightsThis app is a total upgrade from the ESPN app where it is hard to get to an article you are looking for, this has all the up to date sports info before every other app like ESPN and CBS Sports. This app also gives you easy access to highlights or cool plays of any sport, on the other apps you have to search and search and sometimes it not even there like you want it to be. You can also discuss opinions with the other users and it's nice when you want to say something about what just happened and you have no one else to tell so you turn to Bleacher Report. This app is a very good and well maintained app and deserves five stars.CollettelakeVersion: 7.7.0
Spread LoveI love this app but I have an issue with something here. I love sports and I love the creativity with the stories. But one thing i do not like is negative comments. There are parts of the app where the story is there and you can see two comments instead of saying view comments. Usually those comments are racist or somebody talking bad about something. I think the comments section needs to be hidden and if people want to see more they will press view comments. Some have that some don’t. There should also be an option in the settings to not have comments. I just want to read sports. I’m not interested in someone’s opinion that’s a completely negative comment. Click on any comment section all you see is negative, hatred .. if you guys are trying to help then give us options to not see that..LaKeR-HaTEr5847Version: 8.1.0
A must for getting the info firstWhile you may think this is a bs paid review it’s not. I’ve been a fantasy football commissioner for 6 years and been in a league for 12. This is by far the best app I’ve downloaded for football info. I run my league on espn but they always seem to be a step behind. I get notified by this app long before espn posts injuries and any other things to effect my team. If you want to be up on what’s going on before everyone else this is the app you need. I can’t promise you a championship but this app gives you the info to help make better decisions. Oh yeah and it’s free so if you don’t like it after 2 weeks delete it but I would bet you probably won’t..Ffl comish 2019Version: 7.1.0
Just a regular sports guy !Let’s just start with a thank you to the guys and girls that make this app run! This is by far the best sports app there is. I have espn+ no hate or shame for them but you guys with the alerts and breaking news are just ten times faster, which is one of the main reasons I love this app. As of many of the things this app brings to the table. I love how you chose what you want to see by selecting the categories your interested in, not just any old team that I don’t care about! I also love how diverse it is with the gaming sections to the golf sections there’s just so much good content here, so with that I say thanks again guys and girls at BR!!.Fly_Bri32Version: 8.0.0
Bad writing for WWE pageBleacher Report is a good source, overall. My biggest criticism is how awful the writers are for the WWE page. They constantly knock the product by writing negative articles. Throughout their recaps of shows and events, they make overly biased, condescending comments about what transpired, as if they could have done better if they had wrote the show. Do they even like wrestling? Do they understand how wrestling works? It would be nice to read about what happened on Raw or Smackdown without having to read several amateur snipes about the product, which only makes them seem bitter and pretentious. I don’t even bother reading any of their articles anymore about “So and So must do “X” to stay relevant”. Again, bitter and pretentious writing. I hope Bleacher Report recognizes their WWE writers’s incompetence and puts an end to it..BenH08Version: 5.14.0
Lots of bugsI’ve used BR for many years, and I’ve always been impressed by how consistently buggy this app is. It’s as though the company refuses to hire enough developers to actually put out a fully functional app. The latest bug for the last few months is that the entire app freezes while scrolling through your feed, and then locks up iOS, forcing the user to turn off their phone to unfreeze, great experience! I feel like a huge source of the buggy ness is poor/inconsistent advertising integration, the ads always seem to be onscreen when I have crashes of the app. Also, stop integrating tweets or links to other websites that are not functional, if I am going to take the time to click on something, I don’t want to go to a broken page..Scottish78Version: 8.28
Does the job but has some annoying thingsI get majority of my sports related updates from this app but one of my biggest gripes is when I navigate the community. As I scroll down, the live updates will automatically put me at the newest posts instead of allowing me to keep going through older ones. Same happens with scrolling the live updates on the community’s main page. Just keep it stationary or don’t do the updates unless the user actively requests it by dragging down at the top of the page. The other thing is that the content could be even more customizable. I don’t want to see WWE posts or golf posts. Don’t have a way to disable this though. Other than that, it’s got the content I need..Sportsfanatic311Version: 9.7.0
If you love sports, download bleacher reportI use this app ALOT, whether it be to read up on new stories or check in on analysis or predictions or check scores. The only thing I’d love if they added was to be able to edit your comment. I comment a lot on stories and articles so I engage in the comment section a lot. I’ve seen everyone including myself make a spelling mistake. It would be cool if you guys added the option to edit your comments and maybe showing that the comment was edited. I can see people fixing their comment and going back on something they said so showing like a transcript history would be beneficial. Thanks for all you do B/R, you guys have changed the game for sports reporting and sports app.Oshae2050Version: 7.7.1
Video content is not managed correctlyI love the content that I get from this app. To be able to personalize and get the sports news I actually want to read is great. I’ve been using bleacher report for forever. It’s only become worse with the constant video barrage. Most of the time you start a video, there’s another video that’ll start playing in the background and you can’t close it, so you’re forced to close the app. I would love to be able to read and not have to watch some random persons video telling me his opinion on a subject. Should of just kept it simple and aggregated news based on people’s preferences instead of adding all this video content nobody wants to watch..GseenoVersion: 9.35.0
Notifications bugsThis app is really great when first using it. However after sometimes you don’t receive any alerts for the teams you have alerts for. So what’s the point of the app if I’m not receiving notifications for my sports. Yes I do have bleacher report enabled in my settings for notifications and also in app as well. And I haven’t been able to get a notification for months. When the app was working, everything worked well and it was better than ESPN which I deleted for bleacher report. Also, bleacher report would be quicker to give alerts than ESPN as well..MysterymarineVersion: 6.0.0
Awesome - With One FlawEverything a sports app needs to be. I switched to Bleacher Report years ago and have used no other sports app since.
But… Months ago I reported an issue that popped up and the developers still have done nothing about it: please fix the messed up, moving column headings in the game stats while using the app in landscape mode on an iPad. When it comes to both the developer response and using the app on an iPad I frequently use with a keyboard in landscape mode, it is incredibly frustrating and something that needs to be fixed.
If not for the unresolved column heading issue, this would be a 5-star app for sure..Jj.b.jjVersion: 8.30.1
Awesome appThis app is generally very good. Unpopular opinion: the stories are great! It’s not your everyday sports app, while it can give you the final score to the games, it also gives you more lighthearted and funny stories that the MLB and NFL for example, don’t give you. I understand why some people don’t like to get stories based on the jokes and stuff that goes on within the professional sports leagues, but I think it’s great, knowing that you can also get your basic sports news here and from many other apps. If you want a new look on your favorite sports teams, look no further than bleacher report..Katie283Version: 6.14.1
Not Articles OpenI love using the Bleacher Report for all my sports needs, however lately certain articles will not open. Currently the two I have trouble with is LA Times and The Athletic. What is annoying is that I see the article on Bleacher Report and I get excited to read it and then find that it won’t open unless I subscribe to that company and pay a fee. Why do I need Bleacher Report if I can’t open the articles and I have to sign up for other company articles to read anything? I would just as well prefer that those articles were not there or if they were better identified as articles you need memberships for to read. Then I wouldn’t get excited about articles I am not allowed to read..MwetheyVersion: 6.0.0
Surprising Lack of Hockey Insight/KnowledgeI mostly pay attention to football, hockey and MMA. Love the communities and that is the reason I have this app still, please never take that away.
I like the humor/rumors on this app, even if they don’t come true. You guys are solid on NFL and UFC but your NHL coverage is so much rougher than it should be.
For NHL coverage… It’s basically the community and that’s it. The articles are comically bad just based off accurate round they were drafted, spelling errors and if someone is even still in the team. The updates are days to almost a week late a lot of times. The in game replays play while other videos play and you can’t stop it on the mobile app..ComeAgain40Version: 9.39.0

Bleacher Report: Sports News Negative Reviews
App that had so much potentialThe idea behind the app is top notch. It had the potential to be the best sports app out there. Between the political stances and narratives they push, shutting off comments when they want to control the narrative, the weird obsession they have of posting literally anything lebron does even if it’s not even sports related (I got an alert under “nba news” that he wore a certain shoe out of his house), alerts classified under major sports news that aren’t news (You will get alerts for bat flips classified under mlb news or highlights), most of the articles their writers put out are terrible and make no sense (it reads like they did 2 google searches and then wrote an article with strong viewpoints about what a team should do. Most fans of those teams know more than the writers of their articles), and the countless nonsensical articles about trade ideas or speculation articles, the app is ruined. It needs new leadership. The community idea where you can have public forum discussions with fans of the same team is great. The way they have the news sections broken up where you can select your team and it takes you to a page where it gathers news articles from all over about your teams (including the teams beat writers) is fantastic. Literally those are the only 2 reasons I have this app. Everything else is terrible. Great idea, atrocious execution by people that are out of touch. Like I said, needs new leadership and a remodel from the top down.GOAT6891Version: 9.39.0
Customer services succeeds only in being worse than ComcastI want to be fair here. I’ve used this app for many many years. I enjoy their articles and I enjoy their PPVs. Occasionally the PPVs can be a little glitchy, but nothing being live streamed at that level is without blemish.
My issue is entirely with their customer service. I have an issue with my account, and I reached out to them. First, I tried email. It took them a long time to get back to me, and when they did the response was so off base it was as if they didn’t read the email I sent them. Then, I tried live chat. I spent an hour in live chat with someone who’s name I won’t share here, and they told me nothing other than “please wait a moment”. They kept telling me to wait when I’d ask for an update. They were so unresponsive, the chat actually disconnected because it took them so long to get back to me. Then I tried calling, which I knew was a bit of a long shot, but after a significant amount of time on hold, I had to hang up.
For the record, this is a shame because I actually really want to keep using their products and services, but the issue is such that I may not be able to. I really just want their help to make sure that I can continue to give them money, but at this point I’m unsure of the realities of that. This could be a really easy fix too, but I’m getting absolutely no where with their customer service..MickylaloVersion: 9.30.0
App crashes in 5 seconds, used be decentI’ve been using this app for over 2 years, and it’s definitely one of my favorites. However, this app has been terrible as of late. First of all, I got banned for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON at over 200 followers. I literally never commented anything remotely bad or against TOS, but I got banned with no notice or reason. I tried contacting customer service, but they never responded. So, slightly discouraged, I created a new account. I grew this account to over 500 followers, and BAM, out of nowhere I’m banned again. Once more, I never commented anything that could be even close to something I could be banned for. I’m not sure what the deal is, but getting banned for no reason, and given no explanation is just dumb. So, after getting banned twice, I created an account again, but I only use it for viewing, I never comment anything. Its been a month, but haven’t been banned yet.
But the thing that prompted me to write this review wasn’t that. Ever since I got the iPhone 12 (the app did occasionally crash on my old iPhone, it was manageable) THE APP LITERALLY CRASHING 5 SECONDS AFTER OPENING EVERY SINGLE TIME. I’m about to delete the app since it is unusable, and incredibly frustrating. I would really love you be able to use the app, but I simply can’t. If this was a small bug on the new phones, it would have already been fixed by now. What is the deal BR?.Willguy28Version: 8.10.0
Great if you want to read adsThis app is littered with pop up ads. Every time I click on (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) an article to read I am either interrupted or prompted to pay for a subscribed (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) service. While the app in principle covers many (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) sports and allows you to follow your favorite (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) teams, even setting priorities for your news feed, you’re better off just (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) reading the headlines and checking scores, both of which can (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) be found in an sport-official app such as MLB app and others. App also links a lot of content (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) to Twitter, and if I wanted to use Twitter I’d just (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad is this annoying yet? Yeah I bet. And so is the app when it does it get the picture?) reactivate my Twitter account and participate that way. At least Twitter has (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad and you thought I was done) an ad blocker. In other words, for complete stories use other apps otherwise risk being (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad)....Adopt thisVersion: 6.23.0
Almost completely unusableThis used to be by far the best app for sports. Now the app is almost completely unusable. The first reason is when I’m reading articles they jump randomly when the ads load in. And this happen about 30 times while I’m trying to read something so I have to find and refind my spot in the article constantly. The second reason the app is becoming unusable is that some video ads will randomly go full screen while I’m reading the article so I have to close the ads the find my spot in the article again. The last reason is their still isn’t dark mode! The entire app is white and I keep my brightness almost completely down but it’s still extremely bright when I’m at the app at night. So just add dark mode. Also if the problem with the articles jumping isn’t fixed soon I’m deleting the app I just can’t deal with that anymore. And if the video ads going full screen doesn’t stop too I’m also deleting the app it’s just way too annoying. Update March 31: I’m done with this app. There are now ads in the twitter feeds. I’m officially deleting this terrible app. Bleacher Report literally only cares about money and no longer cares about the quality of their app so I will no longer support them. I am deleting the app. So great job Bleacher Report you just lost one of your longest term users..BeastCH1Version: 8.17.0
Negative star rating pleaseTo get into the confusing details, I will say my day and night has been full of frustration. I bought an AEW ppv 2 days early might I add through bleacher report app in order to be "ready" ahead of time.
To my dismay, even after activating my Xbox one for like the 20th time for Bleacher Report, I cannot access the AEW ppv I had purchased. So I get on the app on my iPhone and go to view purchases and it says no purchases stored. I literally have the screenshot of my Apple ID and receipt for my purchase and whatever is wrong with their system has to be happening to people other than me. Their customer service is legitimately almost Non Reachable. Emails take forever to get responded too. Live chat doesn't even exist because it disconnects you. And when I did get through to customer service on phone he tells me to email them!
I said I have 4 times! Second time I told him this he must not understand or has a bad connection. So I start reading the reference number emailed back to me about the issue I sent screenshots of and also my receipt and he can't hear the final numbers and the line cuts off. Are you kidding me?
I will never buy anything through this crap company again. STAY AWAY!.Carlw722Version: 8.30
Warrantless shadow bans are funMy account got banned without warning. The only thing that would even lead me to know this is that I can no longer comment on anything. When I try to comment, I get an error message that doesn’t say anything about being banned. It even says “try again later” which is obviously a lie if I’m banned. I emailed support and they re-instated my account, but I was still never told how or why I was banned. I never comment anything ban-worthy. I stick to my own team’s community and generally just comment occasionally. The only thing I can think of is if I was in a debate with someone about the team and they just reported me for no reason and I was banned with no oversight from an actual human. Just an algorithm that says “he was reported, ban his account.” Ridiculous. But don’t worry, I won’t be commenting much anymore because for some reason the app attributes your actual name (not your user name) to the comments. B/R is trying to turn into a social media platform instead of just being the sports app that it is....Permanently former yakkerVersion: 8.15.0
Horrible updateI used to love this app. I recommended it to all my friends. It was comprehensive, concise, intuitive, and most of all; the information I needed and wanted was right at my fingertips. In a recent update, that all changed.
They changed the bar across the top of the home page that used to show my team’s current and upcoming games. Now it shows current games and a bunch of completely irrelevant games from sports I didn’t even tell the app I liked! To find my team’s upcoming games, I have to dig around in scores, which is inconvenient and unnecessary.
I also used to be able to tap on a game to see where it would be broadcast. Can no longer do that. Again, have to find that in the scores, extra searching, and it’s no longer customized for my local market so I still don’t know where I can find the game. (I’m in Ohio, when the Cavs are playing OKC, it’s no help to tell me they’re on FS OKC, are they on FSO?)
My homepage feed no longer seems to be customized to my preferences.
Frankly, I’m just waiting to find a replacement app and then I’ll dump this one..Brilliant sox fanVersion: 6.4.0
Leaves a lot to be desiredI am a BR user and have been for years, but the platform has so many flaws that bring down the quality. There are some small bugs, for example the app has listed the same bruins players as injured for every game this season, but usually the app runs well and does what it’s supposed to. My main issue comes with the content. Not only are there so many articles that are behind paywalls, but BR refuses to give relevant news to what I ask for. I have no interest in baseball, soccer, or many college sports but bleacher report forces this stuff into my main feed, often as the top articles. I have seen a multitude of headline articles that are entirely based on one athlete’s tweet that has little meaning. There are frequent misleading and clickbait titles. There is frequent drawing conclusions with almost no evidence. All in all bleacher report does not demand much quality from its content, it settles for quantity instead. I wish I could find a better sports app because this one leaves a lot to be desired..DetroitLions6Version: 8.16.0
GarbageLet me first say I love the content of this app..
The articles are great and informative. The functionality however is trash. I can only speak for the iPhone app because that’s all I’ve used. First the app automatically refresh’s the page in the middle of reading over and over again making it extremely frustrating, annoying, and almost impossible to read. At first I thought this was just a glitch and would be fixed after a while. That was last year and it’s still happening… They must make more 🏦💰💵 for hits on sights. Second, the amount of pop up adds is ridiculous. I understand it’s a free app and you gotta make money somehow but again it makes it very hard to read and enjoy. This has gotten a little better but is still annoying. I’m not trying to bash this app I have no agenda. I just feel it needs some tweaking and I would give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.MasFPVVersion: 8.21
Buggy app, terrible contentThe Bleacher Report of days gone by is gone. The app has always had performance issues with the screen turning black while reading an article and random crashes. Now I can’t even open the app without it crashing. Before that happened, articles were constantly reloading. It’s totally unusable.
I suppose that’s okay though. It’s helping me finally acknowledge that BR is no longer worth using. They curated a lot of articles from other sources, but now it’s mostly just tweets and their own crappy re-drafts and poorly written articles.
The app has also turned into left-wing reporting that is tangentially related to sports. A feature article on the Atlanta Hawks that is actually just about Rayshard Brooks? An interview with JJ Redick on how Lebron and KD haters are racists? Absolutely no coverage of DeShaun Jackson’s anti-Semitism?
Apparently BR is now just a bunch of far leftists who think we are more interested in their agenda than actual sports and who can’t even make a functioning app..Templerunner274Version: 7.20.0
No longer curates valuable contentLong time user. Content curation for a given team has changed drastically for the worse. All I see are videos of highlights from a recent game, post-game interviews, gifs, and images. What happened to curated articles from various outlets and sources?
For example, for NYR you used to include in the team feed timely relevant articles from different sites like Blueshirt Banter, Forever Blueshirts, NY Post (Larry Brooks, Molly Walker, and the likes), LoHud, the Athletic, Blueline Station, Blue Seat Blogs. The only articles now appear to be your own.
Feeds now look like a gimmicky instagram feed offering minimal insights or value, begging for cheap likes and comments from your users (versus the users of the sources you’re pulling content from). The more I frequent the site or app, the less I’m inclined to return.
The new design / algo clearly caters to and enables mindlessly doom-scrolling through click-baity imagery and videos, and no longer provides valuable curated insights into a team via writers’ analyses of recent games, events, trades, etc. for those who still read.
To say b/r has gone downhill would be an understatement.
Don’t mean to roast or bash. Hopefully some constructive feedback. I rarely, almost never send feedback to apps, but it’s been so bad lately I felt compelled to..Heyyyyy There BudVersion: 9.11.0
A glitchy app full of trolls and pathetic peopleBleacher Report is not a bad concept, its execution is awful though. Articles about specific players are always emphasized to get a negative reaction & titles are often click bait titles with no substance to encourage reactions and viewership.
Player's like OBJ, Cam Newton, Lamar Jackson, e.t.c are often promoted in a controversial light as BR knows many middle aged white men in America will spew hateful rhetoric at literally any article about them. Seriously, they could post an article about them donating a million to charity and it would be filled with hateful comments. That’s how many pathetic trolls exist on this site. I have always felt that average sports fan has a slightly below average IQ, BR seeks to confirm that theory every time I step on the app. Pay the little bit extra for the Athletic, its 1000% worth it if you don’t want to develop cancer reading stupid and ignorant opinions..Consensual RapVersion: 8.25
This app is racistEVERY DAY people in the comments talk about how people with black skin are the “best race” and “superior to whites” and when you report it -NOTHING. Yet, when you respond and say “we are all equal, our skin color should not matter” they delete others and your comments.
It’s sad to see clear racism not only being allowed but being supported on a SPORTS app. They are censoring anyone who stands up to the black culture which constantly (for years) torments other cultures for not sharing the color of their skin.
I am not saying this is every comment section or person but, I see it almost every day and after long enough, I just have to say “no more”. I feel bullied and hated by a small but loud minority of users on the app that have ZERO moderation due to the color of their skin.
I will never use bleacher report again but, I hope they start to moderate the extremists of the app no matter what their background or agenda is..GcgspireVersion: 8.14.0
Pure crapUseless app and webpage. So many pop ups and ads you spend most of your time waiting for loading. If I could rate it minus stars it would be a -10. But the only way to warn you is to give it 1
I was contacted by the app developers to find out exactly why I rated this app a -100. All you have to do is try to bring up the web page. The developers try to funnel you into using the bleacher app so they can bombard you with advertisement. The sports news is a forgotten thought. The web page takes an hour to load and then only 2 articles with only a picture and a caption load. My recommendation is these developers are more suited for selling hot dogs from a cart or shoes.
Update:
It has been months since i posted a review with a very negative slant on the developers of this site. They continue to fail big time. The knickswall is a real sports app. They are more interested in sports stories than selling merchandise. dump this dopes.Big Balls WillyVersion: 8.9.0
Blocked for No reason, No customer representativesI have been using this app for about 5 years. I don’t know why but I’ve been blocked and cannot comment or interact with users and sports dialogue. I have no idea why. I’ve tried to reach out to a BR representative but I don’t think they exist. I’ve called 3 different office numbers and no one picks up the phone. I’ve tried calling these three numbers on 5 different occasions and I get a machine that tells me “Welcome to Bleacher Report, no one is available” then hangs up on me. I have emailed support 3 times. No one has replied. I even have emailed support about deleting my account. No reply. The app wasn’t even that great. The articles are mostly click bait and there’s very little well written content on here but there is some. I wish there was a better app but I’ve yet to find one. It’s such a let down. I can’t believe we live in 2021 and this is the best sports app available..Horns ruleVersion: 8.12.0
App Doesn’t List Relevant Standings or ScheduleI know this is soccer so it isn’t big for Bleacher Report unless it is the Premier League but the standings are either not up to date or no longer even there. Example: Serie A, Champions League and Juventus among others.
They used to be there but now that and schedules for national teams are not updated. This is not difficult to update especially since they were there. It seems it is intermittent depending on the week, meaning sometimes it is there, sometimes not, and sometimes it s the champions league schedule even if the team isn’t in the champions league, which makes the app even more difficult to navigate than it already is.
Also the schedule for My Teams is skewed and it often doesn’t show up on the header and sometimes the schedules are not updated until after a match is played even on the team’s schedule page..I dont care about nicknameVersion: 6.3.0
BR Must ImproveI once went to Bleacher Report numerous times each day to check in on what was going on with the teams I follow. Over the last couple of years, I have been on the site just a handful of times. There are better apps out there and BR has gotten stale.
The main reason I used BR was to converse with other fans, but that gets old, as fewer people with interesting things to say, drop out, or just repeat the same things over and over again. Some people also act like they are in charge, or a group of people become entrenched and belittle the “individuals” who disagree with the main group.
As I said also, there are better, more interesting sites to go to that have been created and more opening up that are much more attuned to sports in general. BR had its day and at one time, was fun to spend time on. Thank you for being a pioneer in that regard..Greg AntonVersion: 9.44.0
Family manYeah sometimes it’s about impossible to get a hold of anybody with family in the middle and then a bunch of fake Internet when I say fake just miss communications and nowhere to reach out and talk to people with a bad platform your reviews will be pretty cluttered up I miss typed and misspelled it now I was taking over your phone and you’re running out of time because you feel like you’re getting stepped on all the time and maybe you would understand I got a couple of formulas for a platform Siri close enough power to destroy world but not created by me created by developers of marketers on a bad platform that’s who did that I just wanted my money back I’m not angry about nothing I’m not bad I’m a good guy maybe things have missed typed misspelled due to the nature how I don’t knowWhat I’m doing I just started using a phone or a computer to do business 10 years ago like phone calls.JonnirCalVersion: 8.1.0
If you want an app that crashes every single use, this is itThis app crashes literally every single time I use it. I’ve enjoyed using this app regularly over the years but due to the app’s extreme limitations I can’t really use it anymore. No other app of any kind that I use crashes even 5% as much. I deleted and redownloaded the app today and within 3 minutes of using the app it crashed again. Is anyone at BR in the business of actually making this a functional app? I get first level workers/programmers not caring at all. Does anyone at any level want this to be a decent, not even good - just decent - product?
I’m using the most updated version of iOS 15 and I figured by this point most of the issues between the app and os would have been worked out by now. It’s a disappointing because I enjoyed using the app previously..Aida127645Version: 8.29
Good but disappointingI used to love going on bleacher report for updates but recently I have been disabled to comment and view comments for the SECOND time in less than a month. I have not broke any rules as I always make sure to adhere to the community guidelines provided upon joining a community or the app itself. On both occasions, there was no indication/warning of the situation as I simply logged on one day and am now unable to do anything. Supper frustrating as I always tried to contact via email (no response) and with the phone number provided (no response after being on hold for 45 minutes). I’m now super turned off and consider dumping the app as a whole. The whole app is being taken over by kids. Ridiculous.Andre cell gVersion: 9.12.0
Missing the markOne of the best parts of this app was the live Twitter feed on each of the pages you followed. For as long as I’ve had the app I was able to see up to the minute news and notes from beat reporters on the teams I follow and now they’ve removed the Twitter feed from their app. For someone like myself who doesn’t have Twitter, the integration was such a great value add to the app. Very poor adjustment from the BR team and highly upsetting. Now it’s essentially an elementary version of ESPN’s app. Very disappointing that they removed their one valuable feature from their platform. Also the articles are very poorly written and clearly biased, I was able to look past that for the most part but now that it is all they have to offer, I might be moving on. Please bring back the Twitter feed..UuuuuuunknownVersion: 9.39.0
Horrible appYou are lucky if you are able to read an article for more than 3 seconds. App crashes about half the time you try to read anything. At this point you can read tweets that are related to your team and that’s about the only thing that loads. Every update makes the bugs worse. It’s crazy how long this app has been this bad. Drains your battery within ten minutes of use. It is so unoptimized for iPhones, I really can’t believe this app is allowed to still be on the marketplace. Never write reviews but this one deserves a review. Only good thing I have to say is how quick it will for you a notification for any big news for the teams you follow and the app is worth the download alone for that. But best of luck trying to read any article link on here..WeL1k3the$tockVersion: 8.21

It asks me to pick my teams. Of the leagues I watch, only the NHL actually has teams. Where’s the CFL, And NLL teams. And the WHL is nonexistent on the app. How is high school sports in this app and not the CHL, they are where the NHL drafts out of.
And then the scores, the only scores you have that I would care about is the NHL. No CFL, no NLL, no WHL. This is the WORST sports app I’ve ever seen..Soundboard SteveVersion: 8.25
