EPL NBC CrewThanks Mrs. Rebecca Lowe, Tim Howard, British Genius(Sorry, forgot your name friend), absolutely beautiful studio, that solid prestige clear glass table is on my shopping list for my budiness floor). It’s always important to give credit where credit is due, I understand I’m the real deal, no sugar coating anything, I speak my mind as I speak truth, my truth are facts based, not emotion opinion based, plus I don’t have a hater drop in my body, so last season I was upset and said not so nice comments, this season I clearly se the improvements and that’s when I do what I do and give credit to the EPL crew, all 5 including the 2 British folks in the Uk commentating the life matches. I love my British friends, I adore the English language, English way of life, English intellectualism is impressive and long live our beautiful world game, long live England Nation, long live the EPL. Rebecca Lowe and Company keep up the great work, much love from Portland, Oregon- Cheers Best Health, Good Wealth, Be Happy, Score a Worldly - Nadir N..RidasawaVersion: 8.7.2

French Open 2024It would be nice if they had consistent coverage of these tournaments….but it is all so fragmented. You use to be able to watch most of these tournaments on either Channel 2 or Channel 4, now my Dad who played tennis since he was 7 years old is now 91…always watched all the matches…and now it is so difficult for this age group viewership to watch these matches. Do they not get that if you don’t make it easy and accessible for viewers, they will give up watching…and just look at the scores? My father taught me to play and I grew up watching all the tournaments and continue to practice, but I must admit that now that everything is being broadcasted in bits and pieces…makes it not worth watching. You have to make it easy for viewers to watch all the matches, otherwise they just sign off and give up. How will you get new viewers engaged in watching all these new players coming up now that the legends are all retiring? You must make it easy and accessible for everyone….not broken up over several channels. The younger viewers are not as physically active and don’t have the attention span…and the older viewers will find it too technologically challenging and just give up…..please, make it easy and available for all tennis fans!.IrishEnyaVersion: 10.3.0

Can you fix it?This is the worst sports app ever. It never loads correctly. You can’t view the articles correctly. You have to open and close the app a couple of times for the articles to properly load. You have to sort the order you would like to see the articles in every time you open the app. I enter my carrier info and my profile stays. When I open the app my carrier profile is still there, so that means info can be saved online when the app is not connected. So how come the order I would like to view the articles in can’t stay. It used to stay and now it no longer does. It seems like every time you guys change the app it gets worse and worse. How about this, have someone test the app that uses it daily. An unbiased eye that will see the problems and bring them to your attention and not a person that designed it that hides their problems..DJ D'tectVersion: 9.1

Where is the camera man?? Please show us.....PLEASE FIX,!!! Someone call the camera guy! CHEN IS ON THE ICE PRACTICING FIGURE SKATING, WE CANT SEE, THE CAMERA IS NOT BEING MANNED. ITS TURNED, CANT SEE THE ICE, JUST A CORNER OF IT. NOW N THEN I GET A GLIMPSE OF HIM. PLEASE GET THE FREAKIN CAMERA GUY. WHAT WAS THE POINT IF NOT GOING TO DO THEIR JOB! Eerrgghh already everyone is upset at NBC because we are missing a ton of events on our local NBC stations and NBCSN. I’m trying to watch figure skating live practice, there is no camera man or woman. The camera is pointed to the end of the rink into the corner. Can’t watch. I get a glimpse now and then of two skaters. We can hear music and hear skaters on the ice. I did get to watch Chen practice for a bit, then the camera was moved off and person left. That was only about 10 we got to watch. Someone is not doing their job. Otherwise I’m loving the app a lot! Now I won’t (hopefully) miss some of the events. NBC is NOT covering a lot. Friday night USA est time, nothing on except opening ceremony which is taped, not live. U need to realize majority of people have DVRS to tape. U could have shown it live and people could have taped it so this night we didn’t miss any games! Then on top of it, ur playing the opening ceremony again in over an hour later. REALLY? On a Friday night? We are missing the games. My sport is figure skating, you all need to be showing us skaters in practice as it reads on this app. Again, no one meaning the camera..VampcherieVersion: 5.9.2

Australian cycling pass ??I haven’t cut the cable yet so I can watch most nbc content on directv. But I did get the cycling pass to watch things others than the TDF and to watch it ad-free. No offense to the knowledgeable Aussie fellows who prattle on continually in the ad-free version but I was hoping for Bob Roll and Phil Liggett, et al. It seems stupid (and perhaps a bit misleading?) on nbc’s part to pay another set on commentators when they could just have other content or vignettes during the commercials. My hat is off to the aussies who can keep up a conversation for 3 to 4 hours though. I guess millennials like that stuff. The TV feed comes from the one source anyway and anyone can add commentary. We’ll see when the spring classics get here but I’m not sure I’ll be renewing this. As to the app working, it does most of the time but sometimes goes walkabout or does not connect the first time. But if you are casting to a tv realize that google or Samsung are probably sending your content to their servers to spy on you. Or maybe google is piping it to China for free! 😏.Subtropical_kenVersion: 7.0

Pretty goo for meI like others have not had any major issues, it does not log me out when watching, recently when I want to watch my sport, (by the way I’ve only subscribed to the cycling pass) it shows me logged in when I’m not, I just simply log out and back in and I’m good, the streaming for me has been very good, no issues there, I usually stream to my TV from my iPad via google chrome and it’s very good quality, I’ve been using this app for 3 years now without nagging issues other than the one I mentioned, NBC sports gold is now simply NBC sports, all sports in one app, the layout is very good and simple to use, I also like the fact that I can rewatch replays of my races when I want as many times as I want up to when it recycles the program which is about one year, yes I would recommend this app to those who like myself are cycling fans, bottom like I love this app......REDDOTU571Version: 6.0.5

Olympics 2018!ViewingApp just updated 20 hours ago in time for the Olympics and is still very buggy with videos that don’t load, error messages and so forth, especially when trying to use Chromecast. In addition, this app can be vastly improved upon for the Olympics 2018 viewing by being much more versatile. Eg 1) It would be nice if videos that pertain to the host country, it’s people, it’s culture, history, the venue, etc could be viewable on the app and separated out from the sports videos into a category of its own. Right now there are only two categories, sports and athletes, but I often like the ones about the host country even better. 2) I think it would be nice if we could view ANY event, including the opening and closing ceremonies, via video rather than only certain ones being viewable and these being viewable only after the event has aired on TV. Some of us don’t have TV viewing any more and won’t be able to watch the opening and closing ceremonies when NBC wants to air them..Ajack17Version: 5.9.2

Don’t Believe The HateThis app is definitely controversial. More 1 star ratings than 5? I’ll tell you why: User error. User error. And probably some content. Many complaints reference the EPL and other soccer leagues - perhaps those packages do have issues but those aren’t the only sports. And why do I think most complaints come from those using only free coverage? I got this for the PGA coverage. It’s flawless on my Roku. On my phone. On my tablet. On my desktop. Yes, even on my laptop. The features do exactly what they say they will and the extra golf coverage is a dream. Back to the hate. User Error 1: Bandwidth, bandwidth, bandwidth... Did you know apps use the internet? Did you know streaming apps use A LOT of internet? 9/10 streaming issues on any platform are with the end user connection speed and not the app performance. Make sure you have the juice... User Error 2: Comprehension. Reading reviews quickly shows that people have unrealistic expectations and ideas of what the app is supposed to do. Not saying every one who left a 1-star review can’t use their device but in my experience closer to 6/10 issues in platform steaming are user error. If you read this far you probably want this app and I’m here to say it works just fine for me..Dan K ManVersion: 6.0.5

It 'functions' now ... but user experience is horribleSo it works, sure. The content is there, for sure. But they missed the boat with so many basic things that makes for a horrible user experience - have a 'continue watching' option on the first screen to resume games I haven't finished or ones I recently watched - save where I left off for each math to my account so I can easily pick up where I left off regardless of my device. I often jump between fire TV , iPhone and fire tablet ... There is no way to know where I was in the game when I switch between devices - put the sports I've purchased FIRST in the list of channels, and not 16th - when I switch to NBC Gold to watch rugby, don't make me wait to load images and previews for golf, motor racing and a whole bunch of other things I don't want before you allow the click on the rugby channel to register, at which point I have to wait again for what I originally wanted to watch - don't put the position indicator at the very bottom of the video - it's literally impossible to pan/scroll fwd/rwd in landscape mode on iPhone because the OS slider handle that bring up iOS menus is there on top!! - you need better panning - it's very imprecise! I don't want to jump from 4:32 to 7:56!! I cannot get anything in-between these huge jumps in time You need a new product manager for this app and also a new UX person too. Those two things make it displeasurable to use. But ... On the positive, at least the content is there. But it could be soon much better if someone cares more and used the feedback in these reviews.MakepiesVersion: 6.2.2

Easy fix to the appCall Netflix, ask to talk with the grand pooba/poobalina and tell them please by the grace of the maker and all that is cherished and good, take over the Nbc sports app, take 29% of the subscription cut and through modern capabilities alone, and not a dime of incremental marketing cost (probably starts at zero anyway) triple the number of subscribers through word of mouth alone. If on-demand had the powerful navi tools of Netflix, or even the brilliant Tablo box, consumption of sports broadcasts would blow through the ancient, artificial ceiling/limitations wrought by Paleotonic-era Hollywood types cheaping out by licensing the best their Commodore 64 software had to offer. The Broadcasts are top notch, world class gems piped through the fresh water conduits of Flint, Michigan. I.E., ...starts as the purest delicacy of fresh Great Lakes water and gathers human misery on the way to the hapless end-user. Call one of the big guys and get help with a contemporary streaming server and app. Pretty please?.ABtDCVersion: 6.1.3

Good app.. But LOTS of room for improvement.Pay no attention to the people who say it flat out doesn't work. It works with a good internet connection just as all video apps do. Where this app is lacking is lack of Chomecast support and the custom video interface is designed such that they can still place their ads at the bottom. That space where the ads are is space that they could be showing more of the BPL game. I have watched other sports without issue as well. The use of non-standard video also prevents users from using the Picture in Picture feature to put the video in the corner to do something else while watching at the same time. The people want Chomecast!!!!! People want to be able to put the video into the corner and do other things (like text their friends to say "Did you see that play!" Without having to lose their video.. then have to start the video back up.. just poorly designed app)..Bippy_bVersion: 5.5.2

Love the App but Please Add More FeaturesI appreciate that you combined NBC Gold with NBC Sports. I use the app on my iPad for the premium cycling and speed-skating passes. All in all, I love your app; however, I would love it more if you added a few extra features: Please add Youtube-style options of rewinding 10 seconds or so and fast-forwarding 10 seconds or so. So many times I want to rewatch a spectacular feat of athleticism and trying to press and drag that tiny, little dot thing is horrible and frustratingly difficult and never, ever moves even closely to where I want it. Also, will you please allow your app to sync with auxiliary keyboards that many of us use on our iPads. That way, we can hit the pause/play button and not struggle with getting our finger to line up at the bottom of the screen..TeewinksVersion: 6.0.5

NBC Sports Negative Reviews

NBC should make improvements to the app and maybe don’t be too greedyI’m ok with paying a fee for service, just like I do for Netflix or HBO GO, but personally I feel NBC is going a little far to charge a fee per sport/interest. Just have the fee for all-access to content like other services, instead of being locked out of all content but still being able to visually see it all. I don’t think anyone at NBC actually uses the App because long, long ago they would have desired to place the option to easily rewind/fast forward either in 15-30 second increments, or/and in using the app on the phone or through the T.V. allow the viewer to see content while in NBC’s version of “scrolling” through content to find the spot you are looking for. Old School VHS players rewind easier. The viewer is forced to sign in over and over again so the least NBC could do is actually remember where the user is in their personal content in one channel when switching from different devices. Netflix will remember where you currently are in their content with a multitude of shows, NBC can make the app remember where I am with my siphoned/filtered down content to one game on two personal devices. I appreciate that NBC has allowed me to watch Rugby in America, and I want to continue this relationship but possibly from your end (at NBC) continue to make the product work better for your users..AgnesInAgonyVersion: 6.1.2

Literally embarrassing that I buy this every yearNBC sports app (gold pass) is so so so so bad. Which is a shame because their cycling product isn’t bad, they actually have great coverage of the limited races that they cover. Why so bad? Well because whether roku, iPad, or iPhone, it is so basic and has so few conveniences, it’s almost like they rolled it out 10 years ago and have literally made not improvements to it at all, whatsoever. No 30 sec jump forward or back, so if you miss something , good luck trying to scroll back on your phone. Roku fast forward is literally 1 minute jump per second, so if you want to jump 2 or 3!hours into a 5 hr bike race, it takes 2 to 3 full minutes of sitting, holding that fast forward button and watching the minutes tick by. Fine for a free product, or fine for 2010, but in 2020, when streaming products are pretty commonplace and have these basic features, but when you pay $55/ year and they can’t make some super basic improvements to the product to bring it into the modern age of streaming platforms, it’s just lazy and “F you” to the customer. It really is a shame because the actual coverage is so good. Been an annual subscriber for many years. Never complained because I appreciate the fact that NBC provides great coverage of a European based sport. I just figured that I would have some faith that maybe it’s in the works. But seriously, I guess if people don’t complain and give low ratings, nothing will ever get done to provide basic modern features to this archaic platform..Mpl11Version: 8.0.7

NBC Sports app reviewThere are periods where you work and then an app update comes along and throws it all down the toilet again. As a customer all I want is a reliable way to watch the premier league and that is definitely not the case with your app. It's incredibly annoying to wake up early before the game only to realize the app is not working and you miss a significant chunk of the beginning. Then there's also the issue with the advertisements popping up randomly in the middle of the game or the app crashing and having to completely reload including the advertisements before I'm able to watch again. Been using the app for years and I don't understand how you keep messing it up. A more understandable issue is the delay from live TV. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten texts from friends about immediate results and goals prior to me seeing them. Like I said this one is understandable since its a stream. Test it before releasing please to ensure proper functionality. And then there's the issue of the gold membership locking out certain games for an extra monthly fee. I might have purchased it if I had any confidence in the app. At the time I'm writing this review, the average is 2.1 stars. Take the hint NBC Sports. Before exploiting fans, at least have a functional app. I'm currently streaming the game I want to watch using an illigitamate stream instead of yours. Hey at least no advertisements. 1 star!.Har8MVersion: 6.0.3

Nbc doesn't understand what people wantDear nbc, people want to be able to find an event or country easily, and watch the live stream of the event regardless of time zone, or what cable package they have or don't have. If you don't have the nbc sports channel as part of whatever inane and antiquated cable package you have or don't have, let us buy a subscription!!!! Let us pay to not have commercials too! How can you be so bad at making money??!!! It's easy! Yet you blew it again!! But let's continue... I understand advertising is necessary, but having to watch 10 (very loud) ads every time you switch channels or feeds, skip time, fast forward or rewind makes it difficult to use this app. It's not just one ad, it's like 5 or 6 in a row, with some repeating in the same flurry of useless advertising. Plus, it has banners everywhere that are way too easy to accidentally click, which take you out of the app, causing more headaches. It's poorly designed, and just a poor user experience overall. Too bad it's the only way to watch the Olympics live. Speaking of which, its organization of channels is horrible, hard to navigate, and nearly impossible to tell what each one is because the titles are all truncated. You can't browse by country or sport either, so it's just a bag of hurt. How they thought this would be a good way to watch the Olympics in the year 2018, I'll never know. We were promised a better future, and this app is worse than what we had available to us 10 years ago. It's as if NBC has never used an iPad or the Internet before. Idiots..SmakVersion: 5.9.2

Infuriating!Like so many other reviewers, I too am a cable cutter, and someone who has watched the Olympics ever since I was also that little 4 year old performing camel spins on the ice rink her dad built on the back patio every winter with dreams of Peggy Fleming, the 7 year old blazing down the mountains dreaming of Jean Claude Killi, the high school student cheering on Mark Spitz because one of his swim teammates attended my own school, and so on. The Olympics belongs to EVERYONE, not just cable subscribers! This app claims to give you full access...but does NOT tell you it's for a supposed 30 minute free trial per day, that's broadcasting 12 minutes of commercials. NBC bought the rights years ago - and standard broadcasts deliver content with the endless commercials to pay for the licensing. I'd put up with the commercials gladly, if I got to watch an entire curling match start to finish, a whole hockey game, a complete qualifying series for luge and skeleton and bobsled, the entire race for all the alpine skiers from gold medal to last place finishers - which is EXACTLY what those cable subscribers get. The enhanced coverage is very well done - but the teaser time limited amount is INFURIATING!!! My very cheapskate self would consent to paying for the app, if it actually allowed me to watch even the standard coverage,nor the full live streams and replays. I plan to delete this thing as soon as the Olympics are over...infuriating!.OscarboobirdVersion: 5.9.2

Forced experienceForced to watch commercials, forced to scroll past things I don’t want, forced to scroll one day at a time (it takes me about 20 taps to get to the content I paid for), forced to remember where I stopped watching a replay (and then forced to watch a commercial again before I can skip to where I left off), and forced to restart/re-enter credentials/re-activate my device/select all the pictures with traffic lights in them/check my email for an activation link...my dinner got cold guys, I don’t have the time, and I’m questioning if it’s worth paying for. Once I get in, it’s good; but I have to do 100% of the work - you could have basically given me a long sorted list of text links and it would be about the same mental effort. If any of your UI/UX / customer research / app design / product managers / MBA’s have LinkedIn profiles, I would suggest seriously considering whether you should list the NBC Sports app as part of your work history. If your resume ever came across my desk and you listed this app, I will have a lot of questions for you as to why you think any of this is focused on your user. And don’t get me started about how I have to pay for 3 different kinds of TV if I want to make sure I can watch all of the sport you offer. I mean, I just don’t need sports this bad..Phole314Version: 8.1

Terrible App and Website signs you out and won’t let you sign in regularly. Not worth the moneyTerrible app overall. I’m going to have to cancel my subscription because I can’t even get what I’m paying for. Dissatisfied, frustrated, and robbed by the NBC Sports app. It is not worth your time or money. The NBC Sports app repeatedly signs you out and you have to re-sign in. Should be simple enough...but no. The re-sign in process doesn’t work. The “re-sign in” asks you to verify a tv provider and you get stuck in a loop of signing in with no actual advancement in the app.. it just runs through the same 3 pages of “sign in, tv provider, and authorization”... the authorization page fails and leaves you to try the loop again which will undoubtedly fail. I am unable to watch what I am paying for just because the app and website will not allow me to. I try to bypass the poor app experience by watching the live stream directly off the website and it just re-directs you to the App Store forcing you to download or redownload the app which will not allow me to sign in correctly consistently. Also, it is absolutely trash the way they butcher the broadcasts with the same online ads on repeat. NBC Sports needs to fix this mess. Tired of paying for an app that rarely functions and on the RARE occasion it does end up allowing you to watch after struggle and frustration its cut up by terrible glitchy internet ads instead of the “playing through” or “eyes on the green”. I’m going to have to cancel my subscription because I can’t even get what I’m paying for. Dissatisfied, frustrated, and robbed by the NBC Sports app. Not worth your time or money. Apparently they will take it and give you nothing but a headache..ReidingtonVersion: 8.3

Please Fix the Streaming Issues!!!I have been a Supercross/Motocross fan for a very long time. I wasn’t thrilled about having to pay $75 for NBC Gold in order to see qualifying and all the races live. However, I talked myself through it and was ready to buy. I am very happy I did not! I decided to stream through the NBC Sports app for the first 2 rounds of the 2019 Supercross season. This app has a great layout and easy to navigate. So many good things to say about...oh wait...it doesn’t stream without continually shutting down due to app errors?!?! Isn’t that the primary function?!?! I tried on 3 different streaming devices and verified internet connections to rule out the “user error” tag. Then I read the reviews on NBC Sports and NBC Gold apps. Streaming, streaming, streaming!!! I feel for all the people who paid $75 and are dealing with streaming issues. I hope that NBC will stand behind their products and refund their $$ until they fix their apps. I have steamed Supercross the last 2 years through Fox Sports app and never had issues. This could be such a great app. I really do like the app layout. But if it doesn’t seamlessly do the job it was designed to do, it’s just a fancy background app. If you want my $75 NBC.. fix your app streaming issues!!.Upset Supercross FanVersion: 6.0.1

It’s not you, it’s meI have been happily subscribing to NBC Sports Gold for the Pro Motocross races for a few years now, with no complaints. So happy with it that I bought an AppleTV (4Gen) so that I could download the app, that wasn’t available through the Samsung Smart TV App Store, so that I could watch the SuperCross and Pro Motocross (subscription) on my tv rather that connecting my laptop to the tv to stream. Well, three races into having this AppleTV and everything works better than I could have expected except for NBC Gold. Oh wait, is it because you killed the Gold app and waited two weeks to send an email outlining the change? Maybe I missed the first one? Switch to NBC Sports app and login to my Gold profile, still doesn’t work. Maybe it’s me? Contact support, “Have you tried restarting the Apple TV or deleting and reinstalling the app?” How about yes, that’s why I’m now reaching out to you because the layman troubleshooting didn’t work, I need real support. “Well, all is fine here, why don’t you just return your AppleTV and get a Fire Stick. They seem to work much better.” Really? Does anyone give a **** about customer service? Are there still CSI scores? Does management know how poorly the product is being offered and supported?.RegListnerVersion: 6.0.5

The worstEvery time this app updates I get some hope. But I’m rarely home so I depend on it to watch Stanley cup playoffs and I can always count on the app to freeze multiple times during the game, which forces me to force quit and restart the app, which is when the app then forces me to watch an ad as if I hadn’t missed enough of the game. I’m getting 250mbps downloads and yet somehow I’m minutes behind in my games while streaming. It will also randomly skip a good 30 seconds backwards in a game leaving me that much more behind. The user interface is awful on Apple TV and makes it difficult to select what I want to watch. When selecting a game on my Apple TV they will first play an advertisement which promptly freezes. If I’m lucky, I can hit the play button and finish the ad, most of the time I’m not lucky. If there were any other way to watch the Stanley cup playoffs I would gladly delete this app and never download it again. Oh, and if that’s not bad enough, nearly once a week I’m told that I’m not paying for the content I’m attempting to stream and then I’m forced to log out and then back into the app to get it to work. Thanks for nothing NBC. P.S. All of the NHL announcers for NBC are horrid. Yes. All of them. #FirePierre.Seth2357965478Version: 6.1.2

Latest update is awfulUpdate - The app is still broken several weeks after I posted this. Tap the icon to show the video ad picture-in-picture. Tap it again and the video goes to portrait mode and stays the same size so half the video is off the screen. there’s no way to get it back k unless you force quit the app. I missed a goal as a result of this (not just 1/2 the goal because the ball went in the net off screen. Many mor issues than this. I just tapped the “full screen” icon during a commercial. The video flipped to portrait mode even though I was watching landscape. I would have tried to tap the icon to see if it went back, but all the controls were gone. Another force-quit. So I had to watch the commercials again before skipping to the 50th minute of the game(well, 2 sets of commercials because I had to skip past halftime). I actually stopped watching the game after the 3rd glitch. I was spending more time watching commercials than I was the game. I don’t know why they decided to rewrite this app. The old version worked. This one doesn’t most of the time. If you do get it to work, don’t touch it. Bad things will happen..Bl.iphoneVersion: 9.2.0

Could be so much betterIt’s a shame that a major broadcast company that has been such a big part of American sports and entertainment can’t figure out how to innovate at a high level in the new world of digital viewing... I’ve stopped keeping track of the frustrating things about this app and just tried to deal with it in order to watch Premier League matches... the most recent frustration is that purchasing the NBC Sports Gold package for premier league only gets you the matches that are designated “gold”... in any other world it would give access to the “gold matches” in addition to the regular NBCSports app matches... I was planning on being able to watch all the premier league matches without cable... but because of the way it’s set up, I had to have cable to watch the matches on the regular NBCSports app... not very golden... also, if coverage of a match hasn’t started or has finished, then don’t have it in the selection line up... or at least list the start time and then pull it out of “Live & Upcoming” as soon as the coverage ends... just do better... start with listening to the viewers....PostmansmpVersion: 6.0.5

Horrible for sportsI’ve used this app over the past 4 years and am highly disappointed how buggy it is. The app will close out on you forcing you to restart the app to watch the 30 second Honda ad over and over again. I’m always unable to watch a full segment of the game because I’m either being interrupted by the closing out of the app or while watching the game it gets stuck in this 10 second loop. Even when you hit the live button it will refresh then go back to another 10 second loop of sports action forcing me to close out of the app; once again making me miss the action of the game because I’m forced to watch another 30 second ad. By the time it starts working again they’ve gone to commercials. Then you better hope the app doesn’t get buggy on that part because you’ll be stuck in this constant loop of watching the game 3 minutes at a time, closing out of the app, watch the same 30 second Honda ad over again, being stuck in the 10 second game action loop. The cycle never ends and it is frustrating especially when you want to watch your favorite sports team play. The app is absolute garbage!.E-M-C-92Version: 7.2

Only OptionReally your only option to see any sport beyond figure skating as it seems NBC now wants you to buy into all of their paid channels. Miss the days of seeing a constant feed of Olympic sports on the local NBC channel, especially those that aren’t broadcast between the Olympic breaks. Disappointing to think of the many people missing out on all of the coverage. It is 2018 and it seems we’ve taken 20 steps backwards. The app also inserts random ads right in the middle of competition without pausing the feed. I’ve missed so many final runs, big jumps, and more because of these interruptions. There seems to be about 5 ads they continuously interrupt, I can’t stand seeing the same ad over and over again. I know every business needs funding to operate, but figure out how to strategically place advertising without forcing viewers to miss key times in these events. The live feed also buffers about every 30-60 seconds, I have to hit play on my Apple TV remote for the hope it will start the feed again and I won’t miss anything. Often it will buffer in fast forward to catch up after pausing and again, I miss key times in events..MtcupbeatVersion: 5.9.2

Wake Up!Come on NBC, it’s 2019! Wake up from your slumber. I can’t imagine how any TV channel as big as this can have so many bad reviews, and yet nothing is being done to resolve any of these complaints. I have been watching the English premier league for years now. Waking up at 4am to watch the PL games on the weekend has been my ritual for quite some time. I even subscribed to NBC sports Gold so I don’t miss any of my games but it looks like these guys only care about the money and care less about their customers. How can you have a 2.1 rating and boast of being America’s biggest sports tv channel??? You are a joke and a huge disgrace. The management team should wake up and stop ignoring all of these negative reviews. It means you have a lot of unhappy customers. Now I can’t sign in on my Roku app, even though my subscription is still very much active. The merge between the nbc sports app and the gold app is totally unnecessary. Rather than fixing one problem, you decided to merge two inferior products together. What a DISASTER of a company. I am utterly disappointed!!! That is why tv channels like FuboTV is going to sweep you off the market very soon. WAKE UP!!!.Bonze227Version: 6.0.3

AwfulThis app claims it works with chromecast it doesn’t. No one at this company actually cares about the user experience. This is the only app that disconnects from my cast ever 10 minutes. In order to start watching the game again I have to disconnect my cast, closet out of the app reconnect the cast and watch your ad all over again missing 2 minutes of the game. This is the only app that doesn’t stay connect to my chromecast. Keep in mind I have my chromecast hardwired into my router with Fiber optic internet. I have zero connectivity issues with anything. Yet this app always losses the game when I am casting. So instead of being able to watch my team play on my 55” tv I have to watch it on my tiny 5” screen. They take weeks to respond to your email. In hopes you forget about the issue! And of course they made it so they are the only way to watch the premier league! Now they can charge whatever they want for a broken product! They claim to be sport fans but if this was true they would have an app that actually worked! With the amount of money they make it should be flawless! At the very least should always be improving!.Ray of allVersion: 7.4

Great content overwhelmed by advertising and bugsI read downloaded this to stream the Olympics . the layout is great where you can watch full replays of pretty much every event but the entire experience is ruined by incessant commercials and other bugs . The advertisements are literally often longer than the actual content. I just sat here watching probably 3 to 5 minutes of commercials that I could not fast forward through to see one minute of the event followed by another one minute of commercials. Also, the app is buggy when it comes to returning to watch an event that you didn’t finish. It will often freeze when trying to resume where I left off, or simply start over at the beginning. When this happens the fast forward tool on the Roku version is horrible, taking several minutes to get back to wherever it was that I left off in the program, and when I finally get back to where I left off I am subject to watching probably five minutes of commercials right off the bat..BugsizzyVersion: 8.5.1

Injustice for American F1 fansI rate NBCSN due to the fact cable and satellite are high in price,just to watch my favorite sport. But it comes with the territory,I'm sure I speak for all F1 fans,that we want to see the live broadcasts of free practice 1-3,I'd also like to see all the qualifying sessions live and delayed. The app is my biggest disappointment,I don't want to see the commercials when I'm watching the replay of race,I'm so tired of Verizon that I'm switching carriers,im so tired of Chevrolet commercials as well,I'll buy something else. The app is saturated with commercials. And you cant fast forward them. I'd really rather not see any commercials on the app when watching a replay,cuz I had to work and couldn't see the programs live. Also bring back Bob Varsha to commentate PLEASE along side Hobbs and Matchett,no offense but Diffy is boring,bland unexcitng, seems to not know anything of G1 nor racing in general,his research is an insult to the sport and fans. I'd also like to see all of the after race and weekly media buzz feed of F1 as well. Speed was so great at this,but now NBCSN HS the rights,but dont seem to care about F1..Blah234561Version: 5.5.2

Worsens with Every ReleaseAs a big fan of ProFootballTalk (PFT) content I would check for new stories multiple times a day using their app. Initially when NBC took over everything was fine, but then they started consolidating a lot of different things together and with each change PFT got worse. At this point it’s essentially unusable. First, you have to find it buried amongst all the things I don't care about. Once you do the navigation is painful: * Only two story headlines visible at a time * If you click to read any story, it doesn’t let you navigate back to where you were in the list. Instead it puts you at the beginning of the list. * When trying to read a story the content is often cut off so you can’t read it all. So you have to navigate back to the list, find the story again, click to load it again, and pray you get it all * When trying to scroll down to read a story it too easily navigates to the next story by accident * When trying to swipe left/right from reading a story you get mixed results depending on what you’re swiping on. Sometime swiping the header works (sometimes not). Sometimes swiping the text works (sometimes not). Never does it work to swipe where there happens to be an image. * Sometimes stories don’t load at all, even though my connection is excellent * When scrolling the headlines, there are duplicates of the same story At this point I barely use the app anymore because of all these bugs, and instead wait until I’m on my laptop..EricmozeVersion: 8.2.1

Mobile app issuesYou need to give the mobile pro football talk back to Florio to control the app. This app turned to absolute crap and used to be one of my favorites. Not being able to comment is totally lame and takes a lot of the fun out of it. Used to know other fans through it and now it’s not even an option. The biggest issue though is the scrolling. If you click the first article and try to scroll down even the slightest slide to either side pushes you the the previous article or next article so you have to scroll back and start over. Sometimes the articles won’t allow you to scroll all the way down either. Once you do decide to go on to the next article and you get about 5-7 articles in it stops you from proceeding and you have to close it out and slide from the summary page. Then once you open the article you want and close it you are forced to start all the way back at the beginning. After 13 or so years of following profootball talk I am ending it and going to sleep bot for my football news..AgdhdbnsjxnendjdneVersion: 8.6

Does Not Meet ExpectationsThe service is very misleading. I have the Golf Gold Pass and the only thing you get access to with the PGA tournaments is featured groups and featured holes. You do not get to watch the tournament that comes on the local NBC channel nor get to watch even a replay of it. Once the last group finishes the last featured hole, your viewing is over. If NBC broadcasts on their national channel how is it your paid membership is not enough to be able to watch that through the app? Yes, I could go get an antenna to watch the local channels but I feel paying $70 for the Golf Gold pass should keep from having to do that. I also don’t believe that is too much to expect with a paid service. Also worth mentioning that it’s extremely greedy, in my opinion, to have to pay $70 per sport that you want to watch. I like several sports but hardly think it’s worth spending $210 a year, or whatever the price is. Hoped this review will save someone, with the same expectations, some money. I seriously doubt that I will renew my membership with Gold Pass..KrackerJakeVersion: 8.0.7

Good Content trapped poorly executed appI get the Cycling Pass and the Snow Pass. Most of the content rates 3 stars which to me means that I get the content I anticipated for the price I paid: good video with adequate but- not-at-all-entertaining commentary for the bicycle races (except for the Tour De France coverage with Robby McCewen (sp?). Robby’s commentary is 5 star and the banter with his normally humdrum co-host pulls his co-host’s game up to 4 stars. Very sparse commentary for the snow pass but I don’t mind. The video is great and NBC delivers a million races for the price. BUT... all this applies only when the app allows me to access the content! The app freezes or fails to work entirely. Every time I enter the app I have to set my preferences. It would be really nice to have the option to jump back 10 or 15 seconds to repeat a segment of coverage I missed. I don’t want to bash the IT people. I don’t know their story. But I can only says that every aspect of these purchases over the past 3 years has been average or above, except the IT side of things. The IT drags the overall score down to 2 stars..DannbikesalotVersion: 6.1.3

Worst AppI have very few apps on my Apple TV boxes (3). Over a four years of Apple TV, NBC Sports is the only app that has problems. The majority of the time, it opens to a black screen and never loads. I have to open the app multiple times, maybe restart once or twice, and it might work. Sometimes I give up. Once or if it works, the selected stream will sometimes open, try to load a few seconds, and return to the selection screen. I have tried deleted and reinstalled multiple times as well as wiping the device and starting over. I have no internet connectivity issues and always have the device software up to date. I would delete it all together, but it's usually the only way to watch Arsenal on replay on the day of the match. They're doing well so they usually are not on Peacock. Further, when the app does work, the layout spoils the matches often. The home page, in order, lists live shows, then highlights and news, then replays. Every time I go to watch a replay, the news/highlights list spoils the result. Even ignoring the text, the thumbnails give away the result. Did a team lose? Photo of a couple of players walking dejectedly. Did a team win? Close up of celebrations. Paramount and ESPN do such a better job of protecting spoilers for viewers watching replays of sporting events. Unfortunately there's no alternative for Premier League matches unless I accept watching the match the next day (which means avoiding spoilers even longer.).IthrynVersion: 10.1.0

Too many advertisementsTried rewatching an Olympic event and all I got was commercial after commercial. The worst part is that it was the same commercial every time. Could not skip. This nbc app is pretty much the only way to watch the Olympics on your own time but you can’t even do that with ad after ad. Horrible experience. Edit: after an agonizing 3 hours spent trying to watch a 1.5 hour event, I have grown physically ill of this commercial. “Can’t” Samsung commercial has gotten me physically ill and wasted over an hour of my life. I will never buy a Samsung product ever again just because of this commercial. Also this app cuts the sound randomly so I was forced to watch part of the Olympic event without sound. And if I tried to rewind 10 seconds to try to get sound, I would get the Samsung commercial again and once again feel ill. I hold the NBCSN app responsible for my ailment and for my negative opinion of Samsung. Once again I would like to share how displeased and disappointed I am in this entire experience. It’s a shame this is the only way to watch all of the Olympic events..Paul SnowVersion: 5.9.2

More garbage from NBCIt’s great that I can login and watch hockey games on my fire stick while I’m away from home....but...if I pause the app for five minutes because I have to take a phone call or something of that nature, why can I not then fast forward through the commercials. The commercials that NBC is making additional money on top of the commercials they air through cable. I pay my greedy cable provider for this channel...another channel that requires an above basic cable package and still has commercials. The least they could do is allow me to fast forward to live play after pausing. On top of that, half of the time the app claims that the game I want to watch is blacked out my area...even when I’m in Texas and want to watch the wings play the rangers. How is that blacked out in Texas. I try to watch it three more times and it finally decides to play...just another frustrating app developed by a company making millions and millions of dollars that couldn’t care less about their viewer satisfaction..Gess4221Version: 5.9.2

Please fix Apple TV appYou get two stars because you offer F1. If it wasn't for F1 I'd delete the app ASAP. The reason.. your controls are horrible. Please fix the controls on Apple TV. Revert them to the native Apple pause/scrub and 10sec jump controls, yours don't work properly. First. When I touch the remote it jumps back to the last time I did a 10 second jump, meaning half way trough the program it might start back at the beginning. Then if I pause the program to scrub back or forth I have no idea at what time I pause it. (Hint: all of this can be fixed if you revert your controls back to the native Apple TV control) Second, why do I, the consumer, have to remember a differ interface (light touch as opposed to every other app with a button press for 10 second jump) and method of controlling my program than ALL the other apps out there? I have yet to find another app with different/worse controls that your app. All other apps seem to do fine with the native Apple controls. Please revert to them, yours are NOT good!.SP JonVersion: 5.5.2

Horrible appI’m an avid race fan and haven’t missed a season of Supercross or motocross in years - till NBC sports took over with their “gold package”. Now I’m limited to streaming the race coverage from my cell phone/iPad which isn’t the greatest for streaming a live event because the picture constantly gets pixilated. Our smart TVs don’t have the option to download the sports gold app because it isn’t compatible with most smart TVs- answer I got was “go buy an Apple TV” so I could stream. I’ve still yet to find what additional coverage they offer other than qualifiers, and commercial breaks are typically a 5-10min break in coverage where you get a LIVE Birdseye view of the inside of the stadium with nothing else. At least when it wasn’t a “premium package” you had something to watch and we’d much rather view commercials than staring at a basically blank screen. I’ve experienced so much frustration with this horrible app and wish NBC would stop ruining the race coverage with their “premier app” that severely limits people’s viewing capabilities. I’d give ZERO stars if I had the option..Dare master super truthVersion: 8.0.4

CNBC (Cause NoBody Cares) sports appGot this app and had it for a long time to watch Formula one racing, Indy cart and hockey and some baseball. App has horrible commercial overlap, doesn't update replays on specific events like Formula one, or NHL hockey games. CNBCSN and CNBCsports doesn't appear to care for it's app subscribers and presents itself as a biased sporting event viewer only to viewers that agree to watch what the app features which happens to be the NFL football teams that only want your viewership if you support their stance on players kneeling against the American flag. Clearly, CNBCSports app doesn't want diverse viewers and only provides immediate correction of sports feed to those that support black awareness and not those viewers that support law enforcement. Their are also way too many commercial advertisements. And the projection of scheduled sports events jumps around from beginning to end of any sport selected to be watched. CNBC Sports app isn't transparent and does not update often enough to all productions of sports. I refuse to be dictated or forced to watch programming of sports that support only one side of any political argument. This program is clearly going to lose viewership if it doesn't fix its sports program feed or doesn't address diversity issue's within its organization. People watch sports to escape the political frustration that grips the US, but if a sports viewing provider such as CNBC Sports continues the trend to force viewers choice of sports, then more viewers will drop and Hopefully will become a wake up to the organization. I'm clearly done watching or being forced to watched unwanted extra bias political sponsorship through this App. Fair warning to anyone else thinking of downloading CNBC SPORTS APP. Best of luck. Good day and good bye!.Night shifterVersion: 5.6

Zero starsBy long and far the worst app I have ever used. Not streaming app allllllllll apps. A complete and utter headache to operate. Have to unlink and link my provider every time I want to watch nascar practice and qualifying. Sometimes 10-15 times before it works. And then if you want to watch after it’s started expect a even bigger headache. Don’t swipe out cuz it’s taking you back to live when you come back. Don’t get a phone call cuz your going back to live. Don’t pause it cuz most likely your going back to live. I watched on my TV Live and it wasn’t no stars I’ll give it one star but still completely annoying to watch. I have lost tons of respect for NASCAR and NBC for using this awful awful app to stream their practice and qualifying I dread having to use it to the point I’ve stopped watching practice and qualifying something I love. I now get 2 times to watch instead of 4 cuz it’s a joke to operate this useless app. The only thing going for it is I don’t have to pay for it, but I’d rather pay twice than free. Do better.Perk the JerkVersion: 10.5.0

Buggy updateThis app is now garbage. I use the NBC Sports app solely to access rugby on their Sports Gold channel. Navigation to my desired match used to be the biggest problem, but since the most recent update the app has become unusable. First, it doesn’t seem to keep me logged in. There seems to be some trick to navigating to the channel I want after I log in that will keep me logged in about half the time. The other half, or if I just click on the Rugby link, ultimately takes me to a home screen where I need to log in AGAIN. Second, even if I do manage to stay logged in, the app no longer plays replays. Once I find the match I want, multiple touches on the Play triangle do nothing except highlight the triangle. Eventually a touch will change the screen to a blank screen with an NBC Sports Gold banner at the top. And nothing else: no load screen, no replay, nothing. Touching the banner at the top takes me back to a home screen, where, if I’m lucky, I won’t have to log in again. This app should get zero stars and the development team should be fired..PsychProfessorVersion: 7.4

This is why we can’t have nice things…I cut the cord with my cable company about six months ago and haven’t missed it at all. Until now. I really wanted to watch the Olympics. I was very excited when I saw that I would be able to watch through NBC. I have been a loyal NBC viewer for most of my life time starting in early high school when I watched the today show every morning. Fast forward to now and I am unable to watch more than 30 minutes of Olympic coverage on the NBCSports app without signing up for a cable contract. And apparently most of those minutes seem to be commercial breaks. I’m sorry, NBC. I have loved you for a long, long time. It makes me sad that you don’t love me back enough to let me watch the Olympics on my cell phone. I guess I just don’t understand why paying for my Internet connection is not enough, and apparently I should have to pay another 150+ dollars per month to a cable company. I would also just like to say that it was the first time that I have ever actually left a review for an app. That’s how mad I am..VdduohdsddVersion: 5.9.2

IVE BEEN SCAMMEDI’ve wasted my money and my time this season. I’ve had problems with your app last season but the auto renewal made it so I purchased another season through you guys so I thought I’d stay positive and try to enjoy it. Of course everything goes wrong. I always get play back errors telling me to check my service provider or whatever. I’m trying to watch the most important match of the year for me, the whole reason why I had the app in the first place and of course there’s an authorization failure and I can’t even watch the game when I paid for the whole season!!!! This app is crap and honestly I don’t understand why I even thought it would be able to work better then before. I feel like I’ve been scammed especially because I was charged with an auto renewal, couldn’t watch any of the games on the actual app and had to down load the sling app because it actually let me watch a game! My experience with this app has been nothing but terrible. I literally feel like I’ve given you guys money for nothing.DobbybouglasVersion: 7.2

Decent app, idiotic content policiesHas most of the problems I outlined in my original review below, plus now the Premier League coverage has gone in the crapper. Most games are for-pay only, and the top games of the day aren’t posted until 6PM PST, so you’re stuck trying to avoid spoilers all day. No idea why they can’t add 15s ff/rew buttons. It’s really not rocket science. Original 3-star review: I use the app to watch Premier League soccer on my train commute. It's normally pretty good for that task. You can start a game, sit through some unskippable ads, and watch the match. Need to skip forward or backwards a minute or two? Sorry, you have to use the onscreen scrubber, which has terrible precision. Couldn't we have +/-15 sec buttons? Need to leave the app to take a call or send a quick email? Or did you accidentally hit the wrong button? Ooh, that's a shame. You'll be starting the whole game over, watching those exact same ads, and blind-scrubbing to try to figure out where you left off. Already seen the first half and need to start the match in the second? God help you. You're stuck watching about 10 minutes (no lie!!) of unskippable commercials. On the plus side, the app's giving me awesome EPL soccer matches to watch on my commute and the stream quality is quite good. If the devs would provide +/- 15sec buttons, add a "resume" feature for picking up where you left off in a game, and put a reasonable limit on the number of ads they make us watch it would be pretty good. Come on, devs, you can do it!.N8grayVersion: 7.2

Great Idea and Interface Ruined by Constant CommercialsI want to start by saying that I use this app only to watch the Olympic Games. The user interface on this app is pretty good. I like the way you can browse by day and/or sport. Pretty easy to find what you want. That said there are 2 major gripes. One is that the app shows a lot of spoilers. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t really like watching the replay of an event, after I’ve just seen a headline of who won the event, or some major spoiler of what happened. Kind of ruins it for me. I live on the west coast and many events are overnight so I am unable to watch most things live (thus unable to avoid the replay). The other thing that makes this app pretty much unwatchable, is the commercial breaks every 3-5 minutes. I’m not exaggerating on this. For the live events I am able to catch, the commercial breaks happen during important parts of the event, so when the break is over, you have missed major parts of the event. Please fix this!.Dicko-SpankyVersion: 8.5.1

Ads, ads, and more adsTrying to watch Olympic coverage on this app is a chore. Starting any video or livestream hits you with a preroll ad; and if you’re lucky, the ad will finish only for you to see a screen that says “This event has concluded.” The larger issue, however, is the seemingly random interruption of coverage by commercials. The commentators will be discussing something and showing the sport and every few minutes there will just be a random commercial interrupting the coverage and if anything happens while the commercial is running, you’ll never find out about it because the commentators are unaware that you weren’t even able to see the event or hear them. I just don’t understand the decision to make the coverage work this way. The app would be great otherwise, but when watching an event gets interrupted constantly mid-sentence or mid-action, it makes it hard to get fully engaged in the content..Skipper2399Version: 8.5.1

Worst sports app I haveAbsolutely horrendous AirPlay streaming. For a single college football game I’ve had to restart the app about 25 times just to see my team play because it just keeps lagging. It’ll either completely crash the app or, more frequently, buffer and repeat the same commercial over and over and over without moving forward. It also keeps playing ads in the middle of gameplay when the app is restarted because of lagging. The Fox Sports app is so much better. I watched two games back to back via airplay from the fox app and it did not lag or repeat commercials even once. The later game I wanted to watch was on NBC and I switched apps to watch it. My wifi network did not change. I really hope my team makes every effort to avoid NBC games because this app makes me sit and reload the game every 5 minutes making watching my favorite team unenjoyable. Simple unacceptable. If you can watch your game another way, I highly suggest it because this app is TERRIBLE..EthanR02$&@Version: 9.8.1

Seemingly on a downward pathThis might be the first and probably the most used app on my phone, but I might not keep it much longer with the current state as it’s getting to difficult to use consistently. Some issues I and friends have run into: - “Gold” games require an additional fee. I guess I can understand this, you can still usually see 50%+ of the games for free, so ok. Price is a bit high for what you get, in my opinion. - Inconsistent issues. Depending on the device, internet provider, and even just the day/time, you might not see a program at all, you might get an error message (for example, “you don’t have this channel, contact your provider” and your provider confirms you do have it), or you might have it fail to load with no explanation at all, just a spinning wheel or frozen screen. - use of old technology. I don’t think any other streaming site that I’m aware of still uses flash, which is being retired in a year, but this does. It prevents use on some devices and isn’t intuitive to use on those that can. - customer support. After fiddling with workarounds for a couple years I finally reached out to support, and after the initial “did you try turning it off and then on?”, my emails have not been returned. Problem is, over the past few months (after being a user for years), these issues have gotten noticeably worse, sometimes from week to week. Bummer to see one of my favorite apps headed in a bad direction..ScootsMagoots3Version: 7.2

Terrible announcers, too many commercials, broken on RokuThe United States equestrian announcers are horrific. They can’t stop gabbing. They don’t know how to announce equestrian events. They need to take a cue from the British. If it weren’t for the British announcers, I would’ve lost my sanity trying to watch the equestrian events. NBC and their greed and a commercial in all the wrong places and all the time. I can’t wait until someone else at least I hope any other Netwerk will outbid them when their time is up. NBC sports also makes a channel on Roku. Unfortunately, it bounces back to a bouncing Roku logo and disconnects about every two minutes. This is though even though I am signed into my TV cable provider and I get excellent Internet. I don’t have this problem with literally any other of my 39 Roku channels. NBC clearly has no interest in cutting down commercials or making the Olympic experience better for everyone to watch. Also, much of the Olympics should be free to watch, like it was years and years ago. Yes, it was free. If you could get that channel on your antenna, you could watch the Olympics. Also, believe it or not there are those of us who want to watch other teams and care about following athletes on teams other than the USA. This app does not offer anything but the option to follow USA athletes. NBC has butchered the Olympics. I hate this app. It has some uses and it is better than nothing, but they could do so much better. NBC is just phoning home the Olympics and the only thing they care about is making money..Badkitty_Version: 8.5.1
