Best App to keep in touch with "Anglo" sports around the world
Sep 16, 2017 Brilliant app that has all the news and even keeps me updated of my second crickey and Rugby teams (live) Australia -
Mar 21, 2021 always simple to find what you are looking for stats or reports pity about the continual hounding to register for service have not even considered -
Apr 28, 2021 BBC sport is my first go to place on matters sport. The reporting is great, plus, well researched articles, name it. -
Mar 23, 2021 The app worked fine all these years but since this morning it keeps crashing. Doesn't open at all -
Great For Headlines and Articles
Jan 22, 2019 Often the first place I look for results and headlines. Not the in depth coverage you want for teams you support/ watch on a regular basis. Would have been five stars but sometimes very slow to load. -
Apr 23, 2021 As a resident in the US, this app takes me home and is an invaluable tool in keeping updated on all the sports that really matter. -
Too Slow Loading
Dec 1, 2018 No excuse in this day and age of fast wifi and 4G. Its consistently the slowest loading app ive ever installed on any of my phones. Its a shame cos the content is excellent. Alot of times i open it.......wait about 15 of the 20 seconds it takes and just close it,then go elsewhere. more -
Mar 27, 2021 Depending on quality of Internet speed it is quite good app. Geography restrictions made all apps non attractive to customers -
Lagging issues
Nov 11, 2017 Same as some other folks on here, the app seems to freeze for seconds at a time which makes it much less enjoyable. The content itself is still great but the constant freezing is frustrating!

May 8, 2021 Thank you very much indeed BBC SPORT. You brought sports to my door steps.

Apr 30, 2021 Was a good app until it updated and now it opens with an error. Error just saying "Something went wrong". -
Great content. Too slow.
Nov 9, 2019 Why does this app take so long to load? It’s been a “feature” for at least a year and seems to get worse. There’s clearly a problem in the way content is accessed from the server (have you heard of Akamai?) and makes using this app very frustrating. Often I just go elsewhere. Fix this and I’d rate it a 5/5. more -
Freezes and stutters when scrolling
Mar 15, 2019 What once was a great app is now useless and frustrating. It freezes and stutters when scrolling up and down that is so annoying it makes one want to delete the app. Loading times also take way longer to the point where using the mobile version the chrome browser is faster. What happened here? more -
Apr 25, 2021 Cannot get this app to come on straight away -
Apr 7, 2021 App keeps crashing!!! -
Poor effort
Nov 6, 2018 App presents the stories nicely. Unfortunately it doesn’t update the stories on reload or pull down. Even tried deleting the app from memory and opening fresh. Used to work - obviously not testing the app when they do updates. -
Feb 24, 2021 App getting worst and overloaded with unnecessary info, scrap the EPL individual football player ratings in every game please! As for F1, pls use drivers full name and constructor instead of abbrevations, really difficult to decipher. Sometimes Champions League results taken off too fast, as many readers in Asia and not yet read the result. more -
Performance problems
Nov 18, 2017 I have used this App for a long time and just loved it. But the past few months it has been horrific. It takes forever to load and refresh. I am very close to taking it off because it’s just adding stress to my life -
Apr 25, 2021 Fed up with the forcing me to open items in the app. When I'm browsing the BBC website I do not want to be redirected into the sports app, because then I can't go back easily to other areas of the BBC. -
Advertising
Feb 24, 2018 Deleted this as soon as they added advertising that pops up immediately after every article you click on. If they offered to let me pay for the app I would have but they can forget it now, forcing advertising down our throats.

The best
May 22, 2018 As a Brit living in the USA I rely on this app to keep me informed of what is happening in Sports. I usually look at it several times a day and often follow events live on it. -
Apr 16, 2021 Magnificent experience. Thank you for making available such an enjoyable service. -
Users Friendly
Sep 6, 2020 This app is highly addictive as it’s full of great information. Very easy to navigate. -
Good
Dec 9, 2017 Getting better, but still needs a favorite or some way to prioritize news. -
May 5, 2021 Like this app can see all the sports and sports news

Mar 24, 2021 This is a useful app for sports results and world football news -
Feb 22, 2021 Terrific app. But why does it becomes inaccessible sometimes and gives error like "there was an error loading the bbc sports app." When other apps are working fine on my phone? -
Mar 12, 2021 Clear, up to date and comprehensive coverage of not just the Premiership, but international football as well. Other sports disciplines are also equally extensively covered and analysed -
Love it except speed
Feb 27, 2019 Latest release "boots" the first page very very slowly. Doesn't matter what apple device used. -
Please add Iditarod
Mar 5, 2018 I like the coverage on specific sports to add into “my sports” section. But could you please add in coverage on the 2018 Iditarod. It started today, Sunday. -
Suggest
Oct 15, 2017 I want some more sports to be included in the alert list like badminton hockey Athletic -
Apple Watch app
Oct 15, 2018 I’d love it if this app worked on the Apple Watch as well! -
Scores out of sync
Jul 29, 2017 As a software person myself I maybe feel overly uncomfortable when I see independent updates happening to the live text body, summary and headline such that they are out of sync with each other. At times all three can show different scores to each other. App writers need to add a mechanism to keep scores in sync. more

Content
Jul 11, 2019 Would give app a 5 star as it lets ex pats see what is going on in British sport. However, I would like to be able to view the videos. it quite often state not available in your area. This is discrimination to brits who live overseas more -
This app has got really slow...
Aug 20, 2018 Since the last couple of updates, the load times for the app and articles within the app have become really slow. -
Mar 23, 2021 For me the editorial checks on standard of written English language spelling of words has drastically fallen in the last 4 years to be precise. The BBC was a reference that I have been proud of and want to continue to be proud of as a flagship of excellence in the use of written English language well into the future. Most BBC apps do not work in America, that would help increase popularity of English television programming here in the United States. more -
Decent app, unwanted ads
Mar 31, 2018 The app has good information and layout. The main downside is that on WiFi (not mobile) it injects - or allows my ISP TimeWarner to inject - long and extremely loud car adverts before each video. -
Slow load
Jun 19, 2018 As usual content is good, but the load times are really slow. It’s like a current website trying to load via a dialup modem! Needs fixing ASAP. -
Needs to load faster
Oct 2, 2018 Takes forever to load and crashes a lot compared to BV news app. I have deleted it a few times. But I am sucker for pain. -
Slow to load....
May 12, 2018 Why does the app sometimes take 30-45 seconds to load upon activation? It didn't used to be this way prior to the Nav bar addition.
-

Does not refresh the content quickly
Nov 6, 2018 Whenever game is going on Response of the app is very slow and takes time to refresh content -
Poorl performance
Oct 22, 2018 Content is as good as always however the app is now performing so badly that it takes minutes to load on my iPhone 7plus and often I give up waiting for it. -
Slow to load pages
Apr 25, 2018 This used to be my ‘go to’ sports app but since a recent release, pages have been terribly slow to load. I’m considering deleting the app. -
Unbelievably slow to load
Aug 18, 2019 Great content but Unfortunately the apps performance can be excruciatingly slow at times -
Too buggy
Dec 2, 2017 Used to be my go to App for soccer news but with the latest revision the app keeps freezing. Don’t use it as much anymore -
Soooo slow
Mar 21, 2019 Good content but takes an age to open. I have spoken to several friends who have the same feedback

Current version constantly freezes
Oct 21, 2017 I've used this app for years with no problem, but the current version (October 2017) is extremely problematic. Every few seconds it freezes as I try to scroll on any page. Please fix!! -
It keeps freezing!
Oct 22, 2017 What on earth is going on with the App? It keeps freezing, doesn’t update properly, it’s just crap! This was my best source of information for keeping up to date with all English sport whilst living in the US, please sort it as I don’t want to rely on Sky Sports! more -
Now the slowest loading app on the planet
Jul 2, 2018 Used to be the go-to app for sports news. Not anymore, as it takes 6 weeks for pages to load and the information is now out-dated. Go another route for your sports news. -
Constant lag and freezing
Nov 18, 2017 This version constantly lags and freezes for a long time now when displaying live content or changing from article to article. So annoying!!!
