NBC Sports App Reviews

Doesnt work at all after update

Congratulations. You broke something that maybe worked before and made it to where now it wont work at all. Complete garbage. This rivals the Fox Sports update which is also terrible.

Refuses to Load

Have been trying to watch an EPL game for over an hour now. Works on my phone but refuses to load on my iPad. Am using wifi for both.

Only casts ads

The app works great to cast ads over and over and over again to my Apple TV. However, is extremely frustrating and in consistent when it actually comes to streaming the actual event I want to watch. Hope ESPN buys up the rights to future events so I can actually watch the events on a platform that works and not just for advertisements.

Too many d**n adverts

Quality is good, but they play more adverts than show. Tried to watch the Russian Grand Prix, missed all the important events due to the bl**dy adverts. Then watched the Man U. V Leicester match and the same thing. Poor use of a potentially good app. They should rename it "NBC Adverts"

No AirPlay

Lost AirPlay streaming from iPad to AppleTV under current update and iOS 9+.

Not streaming to Apple TV

Streams fine on phone. Does not stream to Apple TV through AirPlay unless mirroring is enabled.

Great

I love being able to watch sports wherever

No Chromecast support

No casting to the tv makes the app worthless for me. ESPN app casts. NBC can try to compete or let Disney buy the premier league.

Must have!

This is a must have. I use it everyday to watch my favorite sports especially around the Stanley Cup Playoffs!!

Black out 1500 miles away

I live in Reno, NV. Im trying to watch Blackhawks - Blues on my phone. It tells me this game is blacked out in my region. Huh? I can watch the Anaheim Ducks with no problem and they are a few hundred miles away from me.

Better than espn

That is it...watch all Barclays football with excellent picture every weekend. That is What i do....

Broken

Can no longer watch anything on iPad 2. Ads play fine, but crashes when going to content.

0 stars

Unbelievable that advertisements work when content doesnt. App content is inconsistent between every different device. EPL especially, certain games are only available on certain devices. So I will AirPlay, but the AirPlay will fail. Every. Time. But the advertisement plays. Every. Time. Sometimes more than once. Its a fantastic idea for an app, I love it. But the execution has been horrible. Its consistently inconsistent.

Good

It works well enough. I have to restart the app occasionally , that takes like 5 seconds . No complaints

Ads

I need to use my paid tv account to access content and yet forced to look at ads when streaming. Eww. Screw that

Useless

Shows 2 ads, goes back to home screen. Need to sign in with cable acct even for NBC broadcast stuff. Why? Terrible app

Search

Needs an easy search feature.

Way too any dropped signals

If not for the ability to sort of watch, Id probably give this zero stars, if allowed. After watching the same Rio Olympics commercial for 10 straight minutes between periods (NHL Stanley Cup playoffs), I didnt even see the puck drop in the third period, courtesy a dropped signal. That was the fifth or sixth drop in the game. Each drop requires a complete shutdown of the app, reboot, and an occasional re-sign into cable provider. Gotta be a bandwidth problem, as for much of the third period, I watched pixelated hockey (again, when it worked. For the seventh drop, I got to stare at a frozen Rio screen while listening to the broadcast). But what it comes down to: if you claim to broadcast live sports, your app must do so consistently.

Horrible

Downloaded to ipad and it does nothing but play ads instead of live stream. What is this 2003?

Literally the worst thing ever.

This app is just awful. Just awful. So buggy you can hardly ever successfully stream a live sporting event. Its the future. We have computers in our pockets and cars that drive themselves. Get it together.
