NBC Sports App Reviews

195 add

Worked this morning

Was watching a hockey game and updated the app during an intermission. Now I cant watch the rest of the game because its blocked due to local blackout restrictions.

NHL PLAYOFFS

Blocked out Caps Pens on purpose.

Streaming... Not.

The app wont stream todays F1 content on my iPad or my iPhone. Old content from yesterday or earlier streams fine. Disappointing.

Extremely poor app

Certain Videos wont load. If some loads, then banner ads at the bottom is ridiculously terrible experience. Already there are pre roll and mid roll ads, why there is a need for banner ads. Hire a UX engineer.

Useless. Can I watch my show please?

Wifi working nicely, but this app doesnt want to show me the show it lists as #2 on repeats, regardless of whether I restart the app. Useless!

What a shame

This app used to be great. Shame that it simply doesnt work anymore. Full event replays just wont load. Useless. Please fix this!

One of the few apps that work consistently

Awesome!

Worst Live Streaming App Ive Used

NBC should be absolutely ashamed of this "live streaming" app. Its genuinely horrible. Trying to watch a game? I dont think so... More like having to restart the app over and over again because it freezes up the live stream, then only to be insulted by having to watch the same ad over and over until you are permitted to (attempt) to watch the "live" (delayed) stream again. Same issues if not worse on the Apple TV. Wow this is an embarrassment of an app and the team that built it and those who approved it should all be fired. Other than that, the NBC logo looks really cool on my home screen making me believe I could actually watch a live sporting event at some point. Just going to the local sports bar next time... Horse manure is infinitely more useful than this app. Thanks NBC, youre brilliant.

Works most of the time

Over the last few weeks Ive been unable to use the app and AirPlay on the Apple TV. It definitely plays the Honda ad every time but freezes up immediately after. I can mirror it but the picture just isnt as good. 1st world problems for sure, but annoying none the less.

Progressively worse

With every update this app keeps getting less and less reliable and more unstable. Whether its the phone app or the Apple TV app. Its trash. On the iPhone app you can no longer air play to the tv. On the Apple TV app there is no premiere league or nhl to be seen. Useless. This all started with the first update in April. It was updated again and all they did was give it an aesthetic makeover but left all the horrible glitches and didnt update the content. The worst app.

Easy to use

Great app, I always use it to watch premier league games and I cant remember ever having a problem - apart from a few glitches or frozen screens here and there - but nothing I havent been able to fix by restarting the app. Thanks! Quality!

Full of spoilers and wheels of death

I usually have to get someone else to open the app and pull up my show (f1 and premiership soccer) so I dont see a spoiler. And half the time I try to watch something, the event wont start, just a spinning circle. Lame NBC. Get your sh#% together.

New design still lacks iOS feature support

NBCU spent a lot of time and effort on the redesign, but it still doesnt support video multitasking. Its pretty lame that I cant open the web or Twitter on the side bar without the video pausing underneath, forget PIP support.

Works perfectly

I was intent on watching the final Leicester game and I signed up for a notification. Everything worked as it should and a terrific viewing experience.

Can not stream hockey

Can not stream hockey do to blackouts??

Onederful

One star garbage app. Trying to watch the Arsenal game and AirPlay it to my tv and it miraculously streams the commercials just fine and then crashes when it gets to the game. Tried it multiple times all with the same result. Ive seen this stupid VW commercial like 9 times crystal clear though so great job guys 10/10.

When it works....

When it works, this is a great app. Love it, when it works. But when it doesnt, it is beyond frustrating. It doesnt recognize the user for some sports but for other sports - no issue. So I can watch racing today but not EPL. Why?? Tomorrow I can watch EPL but not rugby. Absolutely frustrating. Fix it. I dont have this problem online or on Apple TV, just the app. And the fact that I have to register every other time I use the app is absolutely beyond ridiculous. No other app I use has this many issues. Seriously NBC fix it

Wonderful streaming app

NBC buying the rights to the Premier League from Fox was the greatest thing to happen to Soccer in America since Alexi Lalas hair of the 90s.

Buggy and unreliable

AirPlay works for the commercials but not for the games - great! Periodically crashes. Every time it crashes - a new ad plays. So far Ive watched about 11 Mercedes Benz and Microsoft ads and no soccer at all. Writing apps that work isnt rocket science - try harder NBC.

Please fix

Currently I am a bright house subscriber. However, when I try to watch content on the app for the channel NBCSN, it states I am not currently subscribed to this channel and to contact my provider. Well, I have done so, they have assured me I am. It makes sense as I can watch it on my televisions, but not on the app. Makes this app worthless if I cant watch NBCSN for the NHL playoffs in the go.
