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.

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 lifemore -
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.more -
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.more

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 -
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!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 overseasmore -
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.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.more

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!!more -
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.more
What’s Groovy
I like the app simply because it gives me a totally different perspective than many other sports apps. However, some articles stay far too long listed...

What’s Subpar
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.

Always detailed and near accurate

Gives first class coverage of live Liverpool games

The best
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. -
The app is good and I like the graphics best for latest news

Excellent, but the quantity and quality of information makes it a bit slow.
-
Love it except speed
Latest release "boots" the first page very very slowly. Doesn't matter what apple device used. -
Good
Getting better, but still needs a favorite or some way to prioritize news. -
Please add Iditarod
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
I want some more sports to be included in the alert list like badminton hockey Athletic -
Apple Watch app
I’d love it if this app worked on the Apple Watch as well! -
Scores out of sync
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. -
Close but no cigar
Layout is good. Content is good. Navigation needs improvement. Master menu should be easier to access. Proximity of master menu & category menu is too close & frequently catches both. Page level content needs better navigation options than back.

Slow load
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
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....
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. -
Refresh lag and no rotation to landscape view
Takes a bit long to refresh/ load and will not rotate to landscape. -
Very good app, However:
very often the audio/Radio links do not work, even when a transmission is not blocked in my Geographic area

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.
-
Slo-Mo Sports App
So slow loading. Ads load quickly...strangely. Spend ages waiting for the words and picture heavy content to arrive. Needs an overhaul to improve. Should have a text only option. -
Sports news not woke news please
Just report the sport news, stop pushing the liberal BBC world view on race, trans rights or whatever the ‘woke’ cause du jour happens to be. -
Slow and unusable
The app is very, very slow often to the point of being unusable. The feedback option is broken so I'm posting here hoping the app will improve. Try the BBC News app instead. -
Next to useless!
So slow to load its almost useless. Quicher to use safari and competitor dites to get score updates and tables! A generous pne star rating! -
Unusable
This app does not load, it spins for ages without displaying any content. The worst thing is that a lot of sports news on the regular BBC app are redirected to the BBC Sport app and are therefore not accessible. -

Slow Slow Slow
How on Earth can a company that streams TV on the iPlayer come up with something that can take over a minute to load a page with text and a couple of pictures. I have no idea what they have done with this app to make it this bad. It works really fast on my PC but I often give up in frustration with the app. -
Does not work
A great app until a few weeks ago, now unusable. Just buffers, doesn’t work since last update. -
Unbelievably slow to load
Great content but Unfortunately the apps performance can be excruciatingly slow at times -
Unusable
If you are outside the uk , the app is mostly unusable taking up to a minute to load articles even with the fastest connections and unlike any other news source.
