Tennis Channel Negative Reviews
HorrendousTennis Channel is absolutely the worst streaming service available (while at the same time being the most expensive). The issues are too numerous to list, but I will certainly give it a try. First, we were just watching the W&S Open final, a nearly four hour thriller, and tennis channel cut off the streaming during the final set tiebreak. Are you kidding me? Streaming is consistently spotty (spotty would be the nice word for it) and the app either fails to open or closes unexpectedly multiple times every time we use it. We constantly have to re-log back in to TC+, often multiple times at once. Some matches towards the ends of tournaments are for some reason only available on their main channel, which is blocked out to TC+ subscribers and absolutely makes no sense. So after paying north of $100 per year that doesn’t get you access to all their matches. Cool. To even say that this app is “hit and miss” would be a drastic overstatement, as it is only “miss”. I will, at this point, happily pay more and piece together whatever streaming services I have to to be able to watch tennis apart from Tennis Channel because the infuriation it causes to not even be able to watch tennis half the time is not worth it..BdkcherryyVersion: 9.1.0
Worst app out thereI love tennis, and I was willing to pay for it. Unfortunately, this is more frustration than enjoyment. I think the pandemic showed Sinclair how much money they could make without actually sending broadcasters to matches so they decided to go the extra mile and not even have them broadcast from their homes/studio. Anyone who reads this, knows how boring it is to watch any kind of sporting event on mute. That’s what this is. As other posters have said, it will freeze and lag and kick you out at the most interesting point in the match and since there is no pause, rewind, or ff, you’ll never get to see what you missed. Do you wanna watch on demand? Don’t get booted out because you’ll have to watch the entire match all over again. I have had this app for several years, but this is the last year they are getting money from me and since you have to buy the Tennis Channel to get Tennis Channel plus, they’re gonna lose both of those subscriptions. We can all still enjoy the grand slams on ESPN where they DO have rewind, pause, fast forward and commentators for all their matches. Hopefully another company will come forward soon and bring us a better app so we can cheer on our favorites..LqucnriszvtVersion: 9.1.0
Awful/Stay Away From This LemonDitto on the last reviewer. Loaded app and purchased a year subscription. Was happy to finally have a way since cutting cable to watch some tennis. Purchased during the Western and Southern tournament and had the same experience as other reviewers with it being cut off during the most exciting part of the end. Then, I trued to tune in to watch the US open, but app does not recognize my subscription account. The only way to get a hold of customer service rep is through their chat or email and they just disconnect when they can’t help you. They say they cannot find an email associated with your account, but they sure didn’t have any problem taking my money. I showed them a screen shot of proof of my purchase and they still couldn’t help saying they would get back to me by E-mail in up to 48 hours. Apple said they will put in request for a refund and I feel like that’s my only recourse. We’ll see what happens. Don’t waste your time or money on this stinker!!.Not usually a Karen!!Version: 9.1.0
Nope. They may it too difficult. It’s as if they actually don’t want people to watch.I returned … downloaded the app again … to see if I might want to subscribe again to Plus. I’ve had it in the past but did not renew, largely because of one issue. Like an increasingly large portion of the population … we cut the cord… years ago. No cable company. Just a streaming provided… in our case Fubo. Fubo offers Tennis Channel. So why isn’t it one of the options for regular Tennis Channel viewing. Having to bounce back and forth between application for Plus matches to Fubo for regular Tennis Channel matches was too clunky. As far as I know … Tennis Channel is the only channel stuck this far in the past. If your provider offers Tennis Channel … it should be available within your app. Until then … I will not be subscribing and will, once again, be deleting the app.
Judging by all of the 1 star reviews, Tennis Channel has no interest in actually listening to customers and potential customers..ForceFourVersion: 8.0.0
Worst Premium Service AroundThere are several things wrong with this app and service, but I am just going to focus on the big two. These should be big enough problems to convince you to look for other options. First, in many tournaments Tennis Channel decides to show the late rounds in their normal cable channel (which you can only get if you have certain cable companies) and those of us that pay for the premium Plus service all year are left stranded. This is infuriating, imagine watching your favorite player in the first few rounds only to end missing their matches later in the tournament. The second big problem is the unreliable service. Often either their app or their stream crashes and customers end up having to sit there trying over and over to watch the matches they paid for as frustration mounts. Easily the worst premium service I have ever experienced, stay far away!.Sebaf74Version: 7.4.5
A gift for someone you hateThe Tennis Channel's big selling point is the French Open and they can't even deliver on that. Big matches are shown elsewhere (e.g., I came back home this afternoon looking forward to Tiafoe-Zverev only to discover that, rather than being able to stream it directly like with every other Slam's coverage on other networks, it was started on TC and then continued on Peacock, requiring another subscription.)
It truly boggles the mind how they don't have a lineup of the day's matches, each of which has its own stream for watching live and later on demand. That's been the standard for 10 years everywhere else.
They do deserve credit, though, for having an option to hide how long already-finished matches took. That's huge; other networks don't give you that option, probably in order to discourage people from watching on demand..Golden-Crowned KingletVersion: 9.1.0
Dysfunctional App and Poor ServiceIf I am going to pay for an app for the year, up front, I expect it to work. The app has so many glitches and inaccuracies. The schedule is not always accurate, you have to login in several times before the app “might” work, the app actually works about 10% of the time. It’s worse than hit or miss. It’s miss 9 times and actually works once. You cannot get in contact with an actual person. There is a chat service that is a bot and says it will forward you to a live person then there is an error message. The email listed has an auto reply that refers you to the char service that does not work and there is no customer service number. Do not waste your $100+, the way that this streaming service operates it should be free!.Vanessa HollowayVersion: 7.4.6
Fix Scrolling Option PleaseUsually I’m a big fan of Tennis Channel+ but this recent update somehow made scrolling through matches impossible! Please restore the scrolling ability as the only way you can fast forward through matches on the app is by exiting out of it (when you have the match in a pop up window on your screen) and then you can hit the “forward 15 seconds” button about 1,000 times to get the match where you want it. All other streaming platforms have the scrolling enabled, so this has to be a mistake?! Please restore! I would give it 5 stars if this bug is fixed - I mainly watch TC+ on my Roku and haven’t had any issues with streaming/scrolling on that platform (just on my iPhone & iPad)..RicharTetrisVersion: 7.4.5
ZERO Stars is not low enough for this app & serviceDON’T PAY FOR THIS SERVICE. It is literally run like a SCAM. They intentionally trap you with an annual service and sporadic content offering. Their content rights, technology platform are constantly lacking.
In the unlikely case that the technical platform works when you want to watch tennis, there’s a good chance that the content won’t be available. WHEN this happens you’ll contact the Tennis Channel and they’ll tell you to reconcile with the App Store or your credit card company because they KNOW that it’s likely been 60 days since you subscribed and as a result all paths to reimbursement have expired.
The Tennis Channel will then hide behind this policy and tell you they did all they could. This is literally a SCAM..FBTdaddyVersion: 7.4.6
This company is very sketchy, run away fast!The app is poorly programmed full of constant clitches. The app over promises access to big tournaments. Only some finals are offered. For Novak Djokovic’s finals the app freezes every time. Or his tournament final is not offered. Support was not helpful and snarky. Management ignored my concerns and sent a canned response that was hostile and full of legal language stating that they would not refund my money. Luckily I used PayPal and they got my money back. You can easily see all the best games by paying your service provider for the tennis channel premium service instead of paying this third party company to stream to a defective app. The company can’t even handle the streaming load when it does work..Pat11215Version: 9.1.0
Don’t subscribe!!!!!I renewed my subscription to Tennis Channel Plus a few weeks ago and though they changed me every time I try to log on it says my subscription has expired. I have deleted and reinstalled the app on multiple devices as well as clearing my caches and cookies but still unable to log in. Trying to reach anyone to help me sort this out is impossible, the contact us link on the help page will sent an automatic email that will tell you to consult the help page!?!? The chat service is a bot and there is no phone number. I also tried contacting them through their Twitter and Instagram accounts to no avail. Apple should remove this app from the App Store as they are robbing people..Dear BongoVersion: 9.1.0
AwfulHow can this app possible believe it’s acceptable to show the winner of a tournament on the opening screen for the on demand replays of that tournament????? If you want to watch a tournament on demand, when you select the tournament, the first thing you see is a photo of the year’s winner. Ruins it! Turning spoilers off simply means it won’t tell you how long it took for the winner they just told you to win…but it will still automatically show you who wins! Stupid! Go look at the MLB app if you want to see what avoiding spoilers should look like.
And if you exit a match to come back later, it forgets where you were in the match. And the fast forward takes forever!
So bad. Give me my money back..GuernsmVersion: 9.2.0
Horrible updatePlease fix all the problems created by the latest update. Was about to come on here and detail them all but I see so many other people have so what’s the point??? App crashes, guide function doesn’t work properly, fast forward and rewind, it’s terrible now. When you don’t have cable and this is the only way you can watch live tennis or replay matches you’ve missed we need it to at least work properly with how much we’re paying for the service. Hopefully you’ll be spending the next two weeks during the US Open when you won’t or can’t be broadcasting any live tennis to actually take the time to fix these issues. Please!.Missk1Version: 7.4.5
Atrocious all-aroundWhy am I watching 15 second ads when flipping through channels after paying over $110? Why is this the least stable app around and crashes once every fifteen minutes at a minimum? Why is the graphic user interface horrible?
I hope developers and tennis channel execs read these comments and reinvest revenues into putting out a product that is worth the cost. They won’t though, because they control a licensing monopoly.
And don’t get me started on the commentators. Get Michael Kosta in the booth doing color commentary. A majority of the commentators are antiquated and cringe worthy. Absolute snorefests. This is supposed to be entertainment last time I checked..BadsilvaVersion: 8.0.0
Still AwfulThis is the most unreliable streaming app I have ever used. Despite the most recent app update 2 weeks ago, the app crashes almost constantly when watching live streams. In fact, with the most recent update it is even worse. When watching a live stream match, the app will display a streaming error about every 5 minutes. Which kicks you out of the streaming, causing you to have to reload everything and miss the match. I am not exaggerating when I say every 5 minutes. It is truly awful and I cannot believe there are no other realistic options to watch a tennis match besides this expensive garbage app..REC1223Version: 9.2.0
Literally the Worst App ever createdThis app is horrible! Every day I have to delete the app from Appletv and reinstall because when I open it, I can’t scroll or click to view any games or even the settings. I don’t know if I would’ve paid for the full year if I would’ve received a trial first, probably why they don’t offer one. When the app does work, it’s often glitchy. Video goes in and out a lot and if I try to go from one match to another to frequently, it stops working and I have to reinstall the app again. Sadly, I don’t know of another option to watch live ATP or WTA matches..Beasley_13Version: 9.2.0
Unbelievably HorribleI don’t think I’ve ever come across an app that is so bad that not only should I get my money back, I should also be awarded damages for the amount of frustration I’ve incurred from trying to use it. And the fact that a streaming service in the year 2022 has the nerve to put out on demand content without pause, fast forward, and rewind functionality is absolutely pathetic.
As someone who absolutely loves tennis and tries his best to support anyone and anything that helps the sport grow, it’s really disappointing that the Tennis Channel would put it’s name behind something that does just the opposite..1incognegroVersion: 7.4.5
Bad to WorseThe other reviews really say it all, and just in the past week or so new 404 error issues have cropped up. The layout, being able to switch between matches in a tv guide format, is perfect, but constant streaming/buffering/freezing issues are infuriating. Being able to access women’s matches is crucial. What in the (every inappropriate slur in every language) is going on with this channel ? Why do they even have right to matches that are unavailable on Tennis TV?? Would you please just combine forces and get it right for once ?.PayPal PrideVersion: 9.1.0
Terrible stream qualityFor almost $120 per year the quality of the streaming both in-app and on my smart tv is totally unacceptable. Appalling that this is the primary source of coverage for much of the tennis season. The one redeeming quality (and the reason for 2 stars instead of 1) is that their customer service made it very easy to get a refund because I canceled within 24 hours of starting my subscription. Outside of 24 hours they don’t provide any refund, so buyer beware before deciding to subscribe..Underwhelmed etymology nerdVersion: 9.2.0
Very disappointingThis has been the worst app I have ever used on my Apple TV. It freezes ,turns to an all black screen and becomes inoperable constantly. We have to keep deleting it, reinstalling it, re-logging in each time. No other app in our Apple TV library has these issues. I wish ESPN+ would carry all ATP and WTA matches. It's really is unfortunate we have to rely on Sinclair Broadcasting Company to watch most tennis matches. The company could care less about customer experience or customer satisfaction as long as they keep stuffing their pockets..Jks5848Version: 9.1.0
New Version Does Not Work WellThe new update does not allow you to switch between matches any longer. The older version would not allow you to see a match unless you chose the #1 channel and then switched to the match you want to watch. With the new version updated this week I can successfully get into any match I would like to watch, but I cannot change that match from the iPad screen. I have to close the app and re-launch to change matches..Dunkin Donuts FanVersion: 9.0.0
Overpriced and klunkyIt doesn’t have the basic pausing and rewinding functionalities during live streams, which is basically an industry standard now. For the price we are paying, it should have those functions at the minimum. Also I can’t watch replays of matches on my phone app even when I am at/around my house. It’s ridiculous that I can’t use the service I pay for on mobile— this is also a basic industry standard. This app feels like it was created 10+ years and no one has tried to improve it since..Tennis4554Version: 9.1.0
Waste of money, terrible appI have paid a lot of money over the year to subscribe to tennis channel plus, and my hit rate for the app actually working and letting me watch is less than 25%. It’s a waste of money; what a terrible app. This last time I subscribed and i paid the money and it never registered that I had paid so I didn’t even get to try to watch. Of course no one answered on tech support. This is such a travesty that it’s my only option to watch WTA and I can’t even use the pitiful app when I’m desperate..HavingtohaveanicknameisstupidVersion: 9.1.0
Why update an app mid-tournament?App has never been great but at least it doesn’t immediately spoil the results of the day’s matches (looking at you ESPN and NBC sports). Now the dev updated mid-French Open and the scrub forward does not work. Obvious issue if you don’t have 3-4 hrs to watch a match in a single sitting, jump from device to device or just want to skip the warmup or rain delay. Haven’t tried scrub backward, I’m too scurred after hitting 10 sec forward a million times..Sptnk37Version: 7.4.4
Couldn’t be worse if they triedThis is the most expensive streaming app we have and it is embarrassingly terrible. The app is incredibly unstable and they have dropped coverage mid match more times than I can count. Most recently was the final set tie break in the Cincinnati men’s final and they just ended coverage abruptly, so after 3.5 hours of watching we missed the end because of how terrible they are. How the subscription can cost this much compared to other sports apps such as ESPN+, F1 TV, etc. and be this bad is insane..I15kVersion: 9.1.0
Just don’t botherYou will pay for TC plus but…if you have a Samsung tv, you are out of luck. Error codes galore with nothing but excuses from their “support” department. And don’t bother asking for a refund either, unless you enjoy snarky denials. By the way, if you think you, as a TC plus subscriber, will be able to watch the good stuff (live/current matches), you are wrong. You need a cable provider to watch that content! I thought the whole point of a streaming service was to be able to cut the cord…ugh.Dpolis702Version: 9.1.0
Horrible!I totally agree! What were they thinking taking away the ability to fast forward and rewind a match? I have also paused a match and then when I return to it I cannot get it to restart. Stuck on permanent pause! So many times I want to rewind and watch a point over or try to hear what the player said and now I can’t. It’s so frustrating that you pay around $100 and this is the kind of “service” they give us. What morons do they have running this?.Emily083Version: 7.4.5
Updated App is TerribleMy app updated yesterday and I lost the ability to fast forward or rewind a match. Now you have to wait for the match to begin or forced to watch an entire match from the beginning. And you can no longer hop between matches. If you return to a match in progress you a forced to start at the beginning. Complete waste of time.
Horrible update. What were content developers thinking? I won’t be renewing. And if I could cancel I would..PNCI2342Version: 7.4.5
Cut out in TiebreakPaid for an annual membership. Disappointed that I can’t watch the majors on it because of other licensing agreements. Need a cable subscription to actually watch the tennis channel live feed.
You can choose to watch individual matches which seems nice, until I was watching the Cincinnati Open Finals. It was delayed and they cut the delayed stream feed when the actual live match ended…so they ended coverage at 3-3 in the third set tiebreak…
Will likely cancel my membership..Miles J WooVersion: 9.1.0
Worst streaming service and support is a scamDon‘t subscribe! It‘s a joke. On an iPad if the app is working and there is a big if you can watch tennis. The quality on an TV is horrible. The biggest issue is, that the app/streaming is half the time not working. On top of that when you try to submit a request via the help center the request is not going through. As if you haven’t completed all mandatory fields. So you cannot submit a request to the friendly support team..FloMo18Version: 7.4.5
ThievesThis app is a joke. They only let you sign up yearly so I bought a 109 dollar service to subscribe for tennis channel plus. Once in the app I clicked on the match I wanted to watch only for it to tell me I need to subscribe to watch, however when I click on the subscribe it says, this account is already subscribed. So now here I am an hour before Federer’s final match, out 109 dollars and still have zero access to what I want to watch. Great doing business with you tennis channel!.S s. s s s sVersion: 7.4.6
Horrible horrible horribleThis app is horrible and there is no customer service. For as expensive as this app is, this is the worst quality and absolutely no assistance. I renewed my subscription but keeps prompting me to subscribe. I’ve followed the troubleshooting advice on the help page and it keeps referring you back and forth to the website or the app. If one doesnt work try the other one. What do I do if NEITHER ONE works. I’ve paid for a subscription and can’t watch it!!!!.Twingem522Version: 9.1.0
Absolutely TerribleThis is the worst app ever. I bought this for the French Open but is just frustrated and annoyed me. It keeps asking me to sign-in and when I am in it changes matches without me doing anything. It happened several times during key points. I emailed them and sent a FaceBook message. They seem to have no idea whatsoever as to how their app in functioning. If I read the reviews I wouldn’t have spent the money. They should be embarrassed So disappointing..Antny0306Version: 7.4.4
Concluded coverage w minutes remaining in FinalWay overpriced for limited streaming coverage with App only (no cable provider). During my year of service, the Tennis Cannel failed to cover many matches. But the most egregious was last night when, with minutes left in Cincinnati’s Alcaraz-Djokovic tiebreaker finale, my smart tv displayed “Play Has Concluded For The Day.” What!?!?!!! I watched over three hours just to miss the last few points of the match!?! Stay clear of the Tennis Channel..BFDrizzleVersion: 9.1.0
Tennis channel is a fraudDo not pay anything to the tennis channel. It’s a fraud. You will not be able to watch anything and you can’t get your money back or cancel. Once they have your credit card info you will have to cancel your card to prevent changing. There is no phone number or contact information on the website. This is a red flag. It should be discontinued on the app stores. A one star rating by everybody should be enough information..BillofaustinVersion: 8.0.0
Worst app everIf I could give no stars I would. It’s great to watch the match but it keeps telling me to subscribe when I have a subscription already. It also charged me 3 times and it never worked. Finally got it to work after $300 of subscriptions for the French open…now I just went in to watch a match and it asked me to subscribe again! It’s just so bad! You can’t even get in touch with a tech person to help it’s awful!.PARENTS BEWARE!Version: 7.4.4
???!!!!Watching the WTA women’s finals only not to be able to watch the second singles match live. Have to wait almost 24 hrs later by then I know who has won. Why is this? It’s not airing on any other network. This also happens on other events. You can watch the entire tournament live except the finals. Makes absolutely no sense we pay money not to be able to watch live tennis..FedgirlVersion: 7.4.6
Don’t bother it doesn’t workDon’t waste your money, the only part of Tennis Channel and their app that works is charging your credit card the subscription fee. The app does not work, you won’t be able to watch the events in 4 out 5 cases.
Also, their Apple TV app does not work
In lastly, even if you buy a Tennis Channel subscription- they require you to have a separate cable tv subscription to watch any live events..Spacewiz_againVersion: 9.2.0
Negative StarsIf I could give this app negative stars I would. Out of all of the apps in the App Store, this has to be the worst one. DO NOT download this and pay for the service! The games freeze. Also, there is someone controlling the games so if you want to watch a specific game, tough luck. Some idiot is changing the games every ten seconds. Whoever runs this company needs to be put in jail. I’m getting my CC to refund this and everyone else should. #garbage.BreesNutsVersion: 7.4.6
Crashes often or won’t load contentThis app crashes consistently on my iPad when I try to watch Tennis Plus matches. Very frustrating. When it does work, I often get the spinning icon and the match never actually loads. I use it on reliable, 1 gig internet at home, and this is the only app on my iPad with these problems. Considering this is similar behavior to the AppleTv TC app, I am considering cancelling my TC Plus membership. Very disappointed..Mjg7328Version: 7.4.5
Do yourself a favor and don’t download or subscribeI’ll add to the growing chorus of people saying not to download this app or subscribe to Tennis Channel Plus. The app is horrible and crashes all the time, but the customer service and support might somehow actually be worse. They’re completely unhelpful and their strategy seems to quite literally be to wear you down to the point of giving up and chalking this up as a loss and moving on..Jonathan P - OHVersion: 8.0.0
Terrible appThe list is so long, let’s start by inability to return to a partially watched video: it starts again at the beginning.
No easy way to refresh available videos other than quit the app and reopen. Very difficult to fast forward or backward. Mixed tournaments with similar names, for example San Diego open men is a different tournament, at a different date, from San Diego open women, but the listings group them as if they were one..Reuben from LAXVersion: 7.4.6
