Suggestions and complaints
Nov 1, 2018 By Andrew MollenauerThis is a great app. I am, however, disappointed in a few key things. 1. I had my favorite teams selected in “favorites,” and one day I opened the app only to find that there was no “favorites” setting visible, and that my favorite teams scores notifications were turned off even though I never turned them off. 2. I’ve said this in previous reviews, and I’ll say it again; I really really wish you’d put AHL hockey in here. The AHL is a minor league, but it’s got a strong enough following, and I absolutely love it, and I’d love to be able to more easily access the scores/news/stats for it here as opposed to having to go to the AHL website every time. 3. NCAA hockey, both men’s and women’s, are listed as sports on here, but whenever I check I never see them updated or covered as much as the games are happening. For example, I’m a Penn State fan, and I never see the scores for my school. Hockey is big, as is college hockey, so this is disappointing and surprising to me. Thank you for your time, and I sincerely hope that my suggestions will be taken into consideration. more -
Great app use it everyday
Feb 4, 2021 By EternaljourneyLove the variety of sports and games that subscribers can view live, daily for cheap. They let you watch select replays for a while after the live game too. My issues are two: no customization whatsoever. I have written to espn with no response. I will keep lowering my rating ever few weeks until they respond. The issue is they have far too many sports for any one person to have interest. I want to be able to block out the ones that continually dominate the screen so that I can better see and select only the sports I care about. Allow users to either select sports we like and dislike on a more advanced preferences screen (with the aim to block sports we dislike) or at least create a thumbs down option for contests we dont care about. Second issue is espn+ doesnt have enough viewing rights to top ranked teams. I have yet to see an ncaam gonzaga game available with only the espn+ subscription. I fear they wont have any critical games and i will miss march madness because i refuse to pay 100 a month for an outmoded cable subscription. Get with it espn and app developers. Its not hard. You already dominate the sports market, just make some simple changes and figure out what viewers really want. Thank you. more -
Sep 21, 2021 By James BullockIf they're going to increase the monthly price from $6 to $7, they could at least have the decency to fix the myriad of issues with the app first. I've been using the app for about 2 years to primarily watch mma content and it is one of the most frustrating services to use...and don't even get me started on the playstation version of this app.... Really having a hard time justifying paying for this... more -
Delay of game.... 5 yd penalty on ESPN+....
Jan 19, 2020 By cowboy redskin fan 2018I would say once you actually get the ESPN+ app installed it works pretty well on Roku and is easy to navigate with the remote......the big problem is it literally takes a PhD and engineering degree to get the app installed on a non QLED TV which many do not have esp if you’ve purchased a tv prior to 2017.....ESPN also failed to offer a heads up on this so if you have an older tv be prepared for a long set up process.....after about 8 hours and a trip to the store to purchase said Roku device we hunkered down to watch Connor v cowboy....sad to say 40 secs was a huge letdown but it looks like the UFC lineup In coming months looks promising....One other note....the sound was on a 10-15 sec delay which was annoying and unacceptable...I’m wondering if anyone else had this issue....I did appreciate the discounted price for the fight so overall some good and some bad points...work on that streaming being in sync and we’ll be back with another review after the next fight....GO NINERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more

UFC Streaming iPhone issues
Jan 20, 2019 By Gunit00000This is one of the worse apps I have ever had. The buffer times are ridiculous and half of the time You can’t even watch what you want to because it won’t load off of the app on the iPhone and it’s not because of a slow connection or Wi-Fi issue because everything else works you would think that the top leader in sports would have an application that works. This was during the UFC espn+ main card 2nd fight on the main card and happened during the prelims as well. My app and iPhone are both up to date. I tried it on my droid and my computer and it did the same thing, buffer for 10sec then just go back to the page or freeze the app. I hope you address this issue. Dana White this only happened during the UFC fights all other streams worked. I was optimistic about UFC going over to ESPN for this reason. more -
Sep 12, 2021 By Joseph LommanTerrible for streaming, which is the point of this app.. I am a huge fan of formula and indy car racing. This app is extremely clunky whenever it comes to searching for things. Not user friendly at all. Streaming is annoying as you can't double tap screen to skip or rewind 10 seconds. It doesn't have any kind of memory so every time you leave the app you have to remember where you were and fast-forward. Also, this is more personal, but please add a lock to the screen as my son loves to watch too more -
Slow and disappointing
Aug 8, 2018 By Just trying to help peopleSo far, this app has been great, but there are a few things that make me rate less than a 5 or 4. I primarily use this app for baseball, as football season hasn't started. I just installed this app it to see if it was better that other baseball viewing apps I own. So far, the interface is great and well designed, but the app is SLOW! It takes a long time to start up, and it has a hard time with simple actions in general such as clicking on the details or score of a game. So far, I have had no problem with the live TV viewing aspect of it, but it should be noted that I haven't used it much as I am at home with my TV. The main thing that annoys me the most is that when I click on a player up at bat in the app, it brings me to a glitched version of the app’s website. You are unable to scroll, and have to use a drop down menu to continue on to the stats. Then when you finally get the stats, there is barely anything! In other apps, I can click on the player an instantly get an in-app page of TONS of stats, just like it should be! ESPN, fix this please! more -
Doesn’t really support personalization
Aug 9, 2020 By madmick2002I’ve been using it for many years but it refuses to care about my interests, which through my interactions should be very obvious. They always push their own preferred content to the top. For example, I understand there is a PGA championship going on but I NEVER, ever once clicked on a golf story, but that’s what they’re pushing to the top these days. I’m the kind of fan that follow teams, not individual players, but this app is constantly showing a section to recommend I follow individuals, and the “Recommended for You” choices are a million miles away from anything I show interest in - nobody from the teams or sports I follow, rather just the players in pop culture or who have big contracts. Well, what about the teams I do follow, can I just get a quick glance at what they’re doing? Not really, I have to navigate around and scroll until I can finally find the content I really care about. There’s no attempt to really learn my preferences and show what I want. There isn’t even an option to pay for personalized content or to remove ads. This ESPN app really appears to be about promoting content, advertisements and agendas and we sports fans just have to deal with it. Having said this, once you get to the content you want, there really isn’t a better sports app out there - again that’s why I deal with all the other baggage that comes with it. Oh, and it can be pretty laggy with scores and updates. more -
UFC Content...
Jun 18, 2019 By BrokenCylonUpdate: Yay!!! Y’all fixed it, Tysm Devs, if you’re going to change how the content is displayed you should put that in the update notes, not just say that you’ve added an In-App ppv feature & nothing else but bug squashing... I can’t find any of the Greatest (KO’s, Submissions, Rivalries, etc...) videos (if they’re even on there anymore) w/how y’all have changed the landscape, there is no longer a “See All” tappable button to the right of the group heading so you can browse content, you just have to scroll from the right & read each individual title that way until it eventually ends & it seams like they’re not even in there...& as for the group headings that can be scrolled all there is now is Upcoming, Related & On-Demand, but again, no tappable “See All” button to browse anything else that was just there a few weeks ago.? more -
This used to be my favorite app
Aug 31, 2019 By Cy KillFor years, this was my #1 go to sports app hands down. The Watch ESPN app was my 2nd favorite. I live by the saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” As soon as they merged the Watch ESPN app with the regular ESPN app, I’ve been highly disappointed. I cannot even stream the regular games that are on ESPN. Every time I click the game, it shows it’s trying & then nothing happens. Watch ESPN app allowed me to watch several games from my iPad. NO IT IS NOT MY INTERNET CONNECTION!!! I am using WIFI at home & the app doesn’t even allow me to stream live games from my iPad. They need to fix the Watch ESPN part. Now i can’t even watch the North Dakota State football games anymore because of the poor quality of the apps & the Bison is my 2nd favorite college football team. Please bring back Watch ESPN app. more

Sep 19, 2021 By Mark SuehrStopped working on my phone and on my TV. I've tried everything including hours on the phone with different espn reps and I can't get anywhere. It used to work perfectly and one day just stopped, now I can't even get my money back and nothing works. I've deleted and re-download. I've reset my roku, I've reset everything and it just says that the content can't play at this time, try again later. Espn has been zero help to me and they just pass the problem on down the line. more -
Wish i had more hands. At least 4 thumbs down
Jun 14, 2021 By robbwellsIf you love ads and miss regular cable commercials this is the app for you. ESPN is the world wide leader in sports no question so i find myself using the app out of habit but not by choice. I would delete but i pay ESPN+ for soccer matches. Most apps start free, then they up sell you by telling you hey pay and we get rid of or minimize ads. Not ESPN. You got ads, commercials, and content trying to run at the same time causing the app to, in simple terms, not work. Sad to say but i think the only thing that really works flawlessly in this app is the running of the ads however they can only seem to figure out how to run THE SAME ad over and over again. At least cable tv switches up the commercials and u might run into something you might actually want. Espn runs the same ad before anything and everything you click there is no escaping it. I’d go as far as to say the ads work better than most of the videos they post of the actual content you are looking for. Tap in for a highlight you will get a flawlessly run ad followed by a barely functional video of the content you want. And if u miss that video and try to replay guess what, ANOTHER AD, the same ad, the same exact one u just watched. Insanity. I doubt anyone at ESPN cares they are suffering from success at the highest level. However when a formidable opponent comes along they will be in big trouble. more -
This WAS my favorite app
Jan 10, 2021 By Jimi-ThangUp until a couple of months ago I used this app daily on my iPhone. I loved being able to watch my favorite shows live or on replay at the office. I also enjoyed being able to watch live sporting events when traveling for work. Then one day I couldn’t watch anything on my iPhone anymore. Either I get an error message saying “something went wrong, please try again later” or just a spinning wheel that goes for awhile before timing out. The app for my Roku still works fine but by I have very little free time on weekdays it’s almost pointless. The whole reason I got the app was so I could catch Get Up and a few other shows away from home, so I could “watch from anywhere” like their commercials always say. I had hoped that their recent update would fix the problem but no such luck. Oh, and one last thing, I’ve tried chatting with support twice. The first time nobody ever contacted me like they said they would and the second time they asked a few questions and then just stopped, never to be heard from again. I tried all of the things they asked (power cycling my iPhone, uninstalling the app and then downloading it again, etc. Nothing worked and I am beyond disgusted at this point. I still watch ESPN at home and still love the shows I like, it’s just too bad I don’t get to watch nearly as often as I used too.... It used to be a 5 star rating, now not so much. more -
Sep 20, 2021 By New England StreamersCompletely unacceptable service from espn+. Most of the time the motion blur is so bad that the whole app is unwatchable. App crashes all the time and does not pickup where you were, you have to start whole event over. You have to scroll for ever to get to certain events because the search bar is useless. It's one of the, if not THE most expensive app avaliable and it's undoubtedly the poorest performing. The amount they charge is criminal imo, especially for the trash service they provide. more -
Good app with recurring problems
Jul 27, 2021 By jccj510There are a lot of good things about this app, especially game cast and the coverage of so many leagues, but there a few problems I keep running into that ruin this app for me. 1. I turn off alerts for breaking news, score updates, and final scores so results of things like olympics don’t get spoiled hours before i watch or my favorite teams ending doesn’t get spoiled a couple minutes early while i watch on stream. I still get these alerts and results are constantly spoiled. They are good alerts but when I turn them off I should not be getting them. It is ruining games for me. 2. My “favorite teams” settings periodically disappear. I have had to re-add my favorite teams several times and it is more frustrating every time. 3. It can be difficult to follow national teams, like portugal’s soccer team or usa basketball. when searching for them the national teams do not come up just by themselves, but sometimes you can find national team results specifically for olympic qualifying. It would be much better if there were entire streams for national teams just like any other team, and the national teams feed was updated with standings and schedules for their various competitions. I’ve liked this app but if these issues are not addressed I will finally have to delete it more -
Sep 7, 2021 By Q 2.0I've had this app for awhile and never had any problems until this past week. When I click on a score or standings for any sport (MLB, NCAA Football, Premier League, etc) I keep getting a message that says "error, can't connect to the server". I thought maybe it was my WiFi, so I decided to use my 5G data, same message. Then at a buddies house of mine this past weekend, he said the same thing was happening to him. more -
Sep 19, 2021 By Nathan KeenlanceHave the app and ESPN+ to watch and streem the Bundesliga. Used to work fine and the past month it's unwatchable. When streaming to chromecast it will randomly jump back to when I started streaming and play from there with no way to jump to live unless I restart the stream and cast. I typically get to watch about 5 minutes of a game before it just jumps back to when I started the stream up. Only happens when casting though and not just when watching through the app. But extremely frustrating. more -
Why so many ads
Aug 17, 2021 By Mike str8You guys are sucking right now. All the ads brings so much disdain. We gotta see it everywhere. Why not reduce the amounts of ads. I get it reduces your revenue but ya’ll need to think about more than money when serving customers. Perhaps you should think about what your longtime followers think, a little bit. You gotta make money, I get that. But at what expense? And can I please set reminders for when games are gonna happen that I don’t follow? You guys already limit me to the amount I can follow so let’s do that so I can remember to watch as much as you want me to. And forcing to watch ads? Really. Whenever we watch videos like highlights we have to sit through ads that take forever to load and then when we’re done we have to sit through another ad. And on top of that we are forced to watch it. We can’t close the video we have to watch it or wait for it to load. That’s ridiculous. Change it and I’ll give you a better review. And can we get the option to continue whatever on demand we were watching? I’m can’t sit through 2.5 hours of a game if it isn’t live. I got too much around my house to do. Can I please be able to watch soccer games and pick up where I left them? That would make this app invaluable. more -
Sep 18, 2021 By Darrell CroninI just paid $69.00 so I could watch a game that was in progress. Started watching the game, next thing I know the app is saying that it was only a preview.

Suggestions and complaints
Nov 1, 2018 By Andrew MollenauerThis is a great app. I am, however, disappointed in a few key things. 1. I had my favorite teams selected in “favorites,” and one day I opened the app only to find that there was no “favorites” setting visible, and that my favorite teams scores notifications were turned off even though I never turned them off. 2. I’ve said this in previous reviews, and I’ll say it again; I really really wish you’d put AHL hockey in here. The AHL is a minor league, but it’s got a strong enough following, and I absolutely love it, and I’d love to be able to more easily access the scores/news/stats for it here as opposed to having to go to the AHL website every time. 3. NCAA hockey, both men’s and women’s, are listed as sports on here, but whenever I check I never see them updated or covered as much as the games are happening. For example, I’m a Penn State fan, and I never see the scores for my school. Hockey is big, as is college hockey, so this is disappointing and surprising to me. Thank you for your time, and I sincerely hope that my suggestions will be taken into consideration. more -
Delay of game.... 5 yd penalty on ESPN+....
Jan 19, 2020 By cowboy redskin fan 2018I would say once you actually get the ESPN+ app installed it works pretty well on Roku and is easy to navigate with the remote......the big problem is it literally takes a PhD and engineering degree to get the app installed on a non QLED TV which many do not have esp if you’ve purchased a tv prior to 2017.....ESPN also failed to offer a heads up on this so if you have an older tv be prepared for a long set up process.....after about 8 hours and a trip to the store to purchase said Roku device we hunkered down to watch Connor v cowboy....sad to say 40 secs was a huge letdown but it looks like the UFC lineup In coming months looks promising....One other note....the sound was on a 10-15 sec delay which was annoying and unacceptable...I’m wondering if anyone else had this issue....I did appreciate the discounted price for the fight so overall some good and some bad points...work on that streaming being in sync and we’ll be back with another review after the next fight....GO NINERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more -
UFC Streaming iPhone issues
Jan 20, 2019 By Gunit00000This is one of the worse apps I have ever had. The buffer times are ridiculous and half of the time You can’t even watch what you want to because it won’t load off of the app on the iPhone and it’s not because of a slow connection or Wi-Fi issue because everything else works you would think that the top leader in sports would have an application that works. This was during the UFC espn+ main card 2nd fight on the main card and happened during the prelims as well. My app and iPhone are both up to date. I tried it on my droid and my computer and it did the same thing, buffer for 10sec then just go back to the page or freeze the app. I hope you address this issue. Dana White this only happened during the UFC fights all other streams worked. I was optimistic about UFC going over to ESPN for this reason. more -
UFC Content...
Jun 18, 2019 By BrokenCylonUpdate: Yay!!! Y’all fixed it, Tysm Devs, if you’re going to change how the content is displayed you should put that in the update notes, not just say that you’ve added an In-App ppv feature & nothing else but bug squashing... I can’t find any of the Greatest (KO’s, Submissions, Rivalries, etc...) videos (if they’re even on there anymore) w/how y’all have changed the landscape, there is no longer a “See All” tappable button to the right of the group heading so you can browse content, you just have to scroll from the right & read each individual title that way until it eventually ends & it seams like they’re not even in there...& as for the group headings that can be scrolled all there is now is Upcoming, Related & On-Demand, but again, no tappable “See All” button to browse anything else that was just there a few weeks ago.? more -
This used to be my favorite app
Aug 31, 2019 By Cy KillFor years, this was my #1 go to sports app hands down. The Watch ESPN app was my 2nd favorite. I live by the saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” As soon as they merged the Watch ESPN app with the regular ESPN app, I’ve been highly disappointed. I cannot even stream the regular games that are on ESPN. Every time I click the game, it shows it’s trying & then nothing happens. Watch ESPN app allowed me to watch several games from my iPad. NO IT IS NOT MY INTERNET CONNECTION!!! I am using WIFI at home & the app doesn’t even allow me to stream live games from my iPad. They need to fix the Watch ESPN part. Now i can’t even watch the North Dakota State football games anymore because of the poor quality of the apps & the Bison is my 2nd favorite college football team. Please bring back Watch ESPN app. more -
New great features, but extremely slow
Aug 6, 2018 By GoMocs86Less than a week after updating with most recent update, the ‘Scores’ tab no longer worked. It simply never opened. I reinstalled the app a couple of times and then just ignored it. After a while of dealing with it, I reached out to ESPN support and they said that there wasn’t anything they could do and I needed to reach out to Apple, which is basically a waste of Apple’s time. How could it be Apple’s fault that ESPN’s app no longer works properly when it worked perfectly fine prior to the robust newest update? I’m a huge fan of ESPN and their variety of networks and viewing options, but I just want an app that will work. (I would have given the app 5 stars prior to most recent update). more -
Excellent app
Apr 7, 2021 By Skinny&BuffI’ve never had a problem using this app which has been a very welcome surprise. Almost every other app I have used has had multiple problems. Other sport apps are so often frustrating to use. Especiallly when I am counting on watching an important game but find I have been thrown off their app for no reason once again and now unable to get signed back in without a lot of effort and time. Can’t count the number of times I’ve missed games due to this problem on other sport apps! That has NEVER happened with ESPN!!!! And the app is so easy to use to use! I also love the pushes you send! So much information and so fast. Whoever you had designing this app should be designing the apps for everyone else!!!! more -
Frustration
Nov 23, 2019 By morekudiI have continually had problems watching any live stream on this app, including MNF and CFB. The freezing up of the picture is more frequent than normal, doesn’t work more than it does! Just to make sure it’s not my connection I had my WiFi signal checked by my provider, AT&T. Also I have watched several games on the NFL, Fox sports, NBC sports, and CBS sports apps and had no problem, no picture freezings. So I can only conclude that the problem is with the ESPN app. One more personal gripe, the creation of ESPN + is just another way to rip off the sports fan. Being able to watch my favorite college team, Appalachian State, on ESPN 3 was great. Now most of their games are on ESPN +, charging $5.00 a month. Feeling manipulated and cheated, Jerry S. N.C. more -
Always Comprehensive & Looking to Improve
Jun 13, 2018 By schwarztechMy previous review mentioned that Chromecast support seemed broken, and I tried just about everything I could to troubleshoot the issue (lots of "Not Authorized" errors, despite everything working fine on-device). Since then, I hadn't tried it again, but it appears to be working fine now. That being said, ESPN didn't need to redesign their app, but they did and it's always an attempt to make finding content more user-friendly. I like the changes, and while I may not have ESPN+ all the time, it's nice to see what I could be getting (certain times of year it will come in handy). I've tried other sports apps, and outside of MLB At Bat, ESPN's alerts give the most information. more -
Truly the best sports app
Dec 16, 2019 By Review guy 467News is great. Being able to fellow all my favorite teams in one app is the greatest. Game cast tracks the game well on time. It may take 48 hours to watch the last game my team may have played but that’s fine either way. On the Apple Watch I’ll say it’s great to have just my teams and GameTime & even there next game. Not having to scroll through other teams is a time saver. I do wish team standings was on there that’s what I like about the mlb app. So if you want a all in one sports app definitely this is your your only choice. Those with buffering problems all I do is make sure my WiFi is good. Since I do no problems. Also I wish it would give game details in the watch like how the mlb & nhl apps do. more

Great app use it everyday
Feb 4, 2021 By EternaljourneyLove the variety of sports and games that subscribers can view live, daily for cheap. They let you watch select replays for a while after the live game too. My issues are two: no customization whatsoever. I have written to espn with no response. I will keep lowering my rating ever few weeks until they respond. The issue is they have far too many sports for any one person to have interest. I want to be able to block out the ones that continually dominate the screen so that I can better see and select only the sports I care about. Allow users to either select sports we like and dislike on a more advanced preferences screen (with the aim to block sports we dislike) or at least create a thumbs down option for contests we dont care about. Second issue is espn+ doesnt have enough viewing rights to top ranked teams. I have yet to see an ncaam gonzaga game available with only the espn+ subscription. I fear they wont have any critical games and i will miss march madness because i refuse to pay 100 a month for an outmoded cable subscription. Get with it espn and app developers. Its not hard. You already dominate the sports market, just make some simple changes and figure out what viewers really want. Thank you. more

Sep 21, 2021 By James BullockIf they're going to increase the monthly price from $6 to $7, they could at least have the decency to fix the myriad of issues with the app first. I've been using the app for about 2 years to primarily watch mma content and it is one of the most frustrating services to use...and don't even get me started on the playstation version of this app.... Really having a hard time justifying paying for this... more -
Sep 12, 2021 By Joseph LommanTerrible for streaming, which is the point of this app.. I am a huge fan of formula and indy car racing. This app is extremely clunky whenever it comes to searching for things. Not user friendly at all. Streaming is annoying as you can't double tap screen to skip or rewind 10 seconds. It doesn't have any kind of memory so every time you leave the app you have to remember where you were and fast-forward. Also, this is more personal, but please add a lock to the screen as my son loves to watch too more -
Slow and disappointing
Aug 8, 2018 By Just trying to help peopleSo far, this app has been great, but there are a few things that make me rate less than a 5 or 4. I primarily use this app for baseball, as football season hasn't started. I just installed this app it to see if it was better that other baseball viewing apps I own. So far, the interface is great and well designed, but the app is SLOW! It takes a long time to start up, and it has a hard time with simple actions in general such as clicking on the details or score of a game. So far, I have had no problem with the live TV viewing aspect of it, but it should be noted that I haven't used it much as I am at home with my TV. The main thing that annoys me the most is that when I click on a player up at bat in the app, it brings me to a glitched version of the app’s website. You are unable to scroll, and have to use a drop down menu to continue on to the stats. Then when you finally get the stats, there is barely anything! In other apps, I can click on the player an instantly get an in-app page of TONS of stats, just like it should be! ESPN, fix this please! more -
Doesn’t really support personalization
Aug 9, 2020 By madmick2002I’ve been using it for many years but it refuses to care about my interests, which through my interactions should be very obvious. They always push their own preferred content to the top. For example, I understand there is a PGA championship going on but I NEVER, ever once clicked on a golf story, but that’s what they’re pushing to the top these days. I’m the kind of fan that follow teams, not individual players, but this app is constantly showing a section to recommend I follow individuals, and the “Recommended for You” choices are a million miles away from anything I show interest in - nobody from the teams or sports I follow, rather just the players in pop culture or who have big contracts. Well, what about the teams I do follow, can I just get a quick glance at what they’re doing? Not really, I have to navigate around and scroll until I can finally find the content I really care about. There’s no attempt to really learn my preferences and show what I want. There isn’t even an option to pay for personalized content or to remove ads. This ESPN app really appears to be about promoting content, advertisements and agendas and we sports fans just have to deal with it. Having said this, once you get to the content you want, there really isn’t a better sports app out there - again that’s why I deal with all the other baggage that comes with it. Oh, and it can be pretty laggy with scores and updates. more -
Unwanted notifications
Mar 31, 2021 By ChelseafcforlifeApp does fine however I get notifications for things I don't want. It's March madness. For me, not interested. But do I know how all the games went? Of course! ESPN let me know - whether I wanted to or not. I have tailored the notifications in the settings 20 times - I only want to be notified about my teams / sports. I have breaking news turned off, I have instant awesome off, I have gambling off, I have ESPN+ editors pick off and product updates and offers off. Yet, somehow, I get notifications for things I don't care about. Why is it this way? I like knowing when 1 of the 4 teams I follow play or there's news about those teams, but i don't want anything else. But apparently it's not my choice? I may seek alternatives to this app that don't send me notifications deemed important to the app and not the user. I could turn notifications off entirely but that's not the point. I want what I want and nothing else and that isn't happening. more -
It could be a lot better.
Jul 7, 2021 By Damndyer_19I think there’s a lot this app could improve on but as for the good things, functionally this app has no problems and runs smoothly while showing games in good quality, this app also makes sports a lot more accessible especially to those of us who have given up cable TV entirely and opted to only use apps. But when you go to actually watch the specific games or teams you want to watch this app struggles with making games accessible. Even if you pay for ESPN + coverage is extremely limited and for certain games they ask for your cable info which in my mind defeats the purpose of paying for the app. I’d like to see this app give us unlimited sports coverage for those of us who pay to support the app but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I think three stars is generous because paying for the app doesn’t give you anything and everything ESPN has to offer which is disappointing. more -
App isn’t designed for streaming
Feb 24, 2021 By somecomputerI recently got ESPN+ mostly to get access to the 30 for 30 collection. I’m happy to be able to watch all of the old and new docs but in terms of streaming content the app leaves MUCH to be desired. There’s no way to pick up a program where you left off or even see what you’ve been watching. I understand that the majority of viewers watch ESPN exclusively for (live) sports but it’s frustrating that I have to spend 5-10 minutes browsing just to find the 30 for 30 library before I can even find the doc I want to watch. The only alternative is to search for the name but that only works once I’ve started and/or know the name of the exact one I want to watch. I’d love the ability to save favorite programs or even better add things to a watch list. If ESPN wants to compete in the streaming space especially for non-live content, I think a major overhaul of the app is in order. more -
Content is great...if you can see it
Aug 19, 2020 By HentvThe amount of choice you have in regards to content makes it a great app. However, I find the video player to be less than desirable...making this an average ho-hum sports app. I try to use the app while I’m at the gym-particularly when doing cardio. I log on to the live version of “PTI” and 30-40% of the time I get error messages. Last night was a “re-authentication error”. So I went to settings and signed out of my cable provider and signed back in. Then I received another type of error...so I rebooted my iPhone X to see if that fixed the problem. It didn’t. So I quit the app and listened to music instead. This happens more than it should from a company owned by Disney. These guys know their tech...but can’t seem to get their player right. So, would I recommend this app? Yes, with the understanding and appreciation that you might not be able to see the content you want. more -
Could Be Much Better
Apr 3, 2021 By DrDavidE1978Got ESPN online content free for years with my Spectrum subscription, but was willing to pay when change was made. Initiating the app can take as long as a minute (the dreaded red spinning circle) and it is often buggy...I regularly have to sign in/out multiple times to get it going. Navigation can be frustrating...there is so much content (which is a good thing) that finding what I want to watch takes too much time. Like others have said, I wish there was an option to eliminate or hide whole categories of sports/events that I will never watch. Still, there are no alternatives for watching my favorite college basketball (and some football) or "minor" sports such as baseball and women's basketball. ESPN owns the market and I overlook the app problems because I appreciate getting viewing opportunities that would not be available otherwise. more -
Annoying ads, video at top
Dec 2, 2017 By DPMy primary usage of this app is for checking scores, getting a quick glance at schedules and stats, and occasional browsing of sports news articles. It is OK. The older version of this app was better. The “new” version has so many ads, including the annoying ones that magically encompass the entire screen when you’re about to tap on scores or an article and therefore force you to mistakenly link to some ad site, that it makes scrolling cumbersome. Also, who wants to see some random video at the top of the screen when logging in that has no context that you mistakenly tap because it is constantly at the top of the page (e.g., scores of the game the highlight is from, or a 30 second clip of an interview that has no additional context)? I don’t!!! It seems like the app intentionally leads you to mistakenly tap ad-related material. more

Good app with recurring problems
Jul 27, 2021 By jccj510There are a lot of good things about this app, especially game cast and the coverage of so many leagues, but there a few problems I keep running into that ruin this app for me. 1. I turn off alerts for breaking news, score updates, and final scores so results of things like olympics don’t get spoiled hours before i watch or my favorite teams ending doesn’t get spoiled a couple minutes early while i watch on stream. I still get these alerts and results are constantly spoiled. They are good alerts but when I turn them off I should not be getting them. It is ruining games for me. 2. My “favorite teams” settings periodically disappear. I have had to re-add my favorite teams several times and it is more frustrating every time. 3. It can be difficult to follow national teams, like portugal’s soccer team or usa basketball. when searching for them the national teams do not come up just by themselves, but sometimes you can find national team results specifically for olympic qualifying. It would be much better if there were entire streams for national teams just like any other team, and the national teams feed was updated with standings and schedules for their various competitions. I’ve liked this app but if these issues are not addressed I will finally have to delete it more -
Sep 7, 2021 By Q 2.0I've had this app for awhile and never had any problems until this past week. When I click on a score or standings for any sport (MLB, NCAA Football, Premier League, etc) I keep getting a message that says "error, can't connect to the server". I thought maybe it was my WiFi, so I decided to use my 5G data, same message. Then at a buddies house of mine this past weekend, he said the same thing was happening to him. more -
Sep 19, 2021 By Nathan KeenlanceHave the app and ESPN+ to watch and streem the Bundesliga. Used to work fine and the past month it's unwatchable. When streaming to chromecast it will randomly jump back to when I started streaming and play from there with no way to jump to live unless I restart the stream and cast. I typically get to watch about 5 minutes of a game before it just jumps back to when I started the stream up. Only happens when casting though and not just when watching through the app. But extremely frustrating. more -
Why so many ads
Aug 17, 2021 By Mike str8You guys are sucking right now. All the ads brings so much disdain. We gotta see it everywhere. Why not reduce the amounts of ads. I get it reduces your revenue but ya’ll need to think about more than money when serving customers. Perhaps you should think about what your longtime followers think, a little bit. You gotta make money, I get that. But at what expense? And can I please set reminders for when games are gonna happen that I don’t follow? You guys already limit me to the amount I can follow so let’s do that so I can remember to watch as much as you want me to. And forcing to watch ads? Really. Whenever we watch videos like highlights we have to sit through ads that take forever to load and then when we’re done we have to sit through another ad. And on top of that we are forced to watch it. We can’t close the video we have to watch it or wait for it to load. That’s ridiculous. Change it and I’ll give you a better review. And can we get the option to continue whatever on demand we were watching? I’m can’t sit through 2.5 hours of a game if it isn’t live. I got too much around my house to do. Can I please be able to watch soccer games and pick up where I left them? That would make this app invaluable. more -
How?
Apr 28, 2020 By tate8525I honestly have no idea how a company with as much money as this has such an awful app. It’s slow, bordering on unresponsive sometimes. My phone is flaming hot after a few minutes of use on the app, although that could just be my phone and not the app. I get a lot of alerts on from ESPN, but when I click on them, it’s about a 50/50 shot of whether or not I get to see what I clicked. Ads freeze all the time, keeping me from getting to a video I click on. Videos also typically start at about 4 pixels on the screen and get marginally better as the video goes on, no matter if I’m connected to my very good WiFi or my cellular data. The amount of content is also a little subpar. When you look at an app like Bleacher Report that produces an insane amount of well-done and free content on an app that actually works, the paywall of ESPN+ is just silly. Streaming from the app is also nearly impossible for me. But the website is just as bad. The content that I actually get to see is usually pretty good stuff, making it a two star rating instead of a one star. Considering the money ESPN and Disney have, they should be embarrassed about the quality of their app and their website. more -
Could be great, but won’t save your place!!
Dec 12, 2019 By krokktaI recently subscribed because of the Disney bundle and there are a lot of things I really am liking about ESPN +. I love all the old programming like all the archived Indy 500 races and Mohamed Ali fights. I also really like all the ESPN original programming like Payton’s places and being able to access all of the 30 for 30 episodes. That for me is probably one of the best things about the subscription. My frustration comes because a lot of those shows are long and I don’t watch them in one sitting You would think that there would be a ‘continue watching’ feature like every other paid, streaming subscription but there isn’t. I contacted ESPN and was told to just “remember where you were.” That seems so silly and unnecessary. Please ESPN, add a ‘continue watching’ feature and I will be a 5 star happy customer. As it is right now I have to scroll back through programming, find the show I was watching, click on it, and try to remember where I was and start fast forwarding which is a huge pain if your like me and watch different shows depending on the mood you are in. more -
No Reason They Cant Do Better
Feb 2, 2021 By ndjeh Xs jend in jehdhesjjdhdI read the top review that is two years old and it echos my feelings for the most part. The app is slow, unreliable, and the interface doesn’t seem like it’s changed since I first downloaded it to my phone 8 years ago. I love when I get a notification that I actually have some interest in and tapping it to be take to the app to stare at a black screen for eternity because it NEVER loads. Then when you reopen the app to try and find the article it’s like it never existed. Good luck trying to find any specific article or video you’re looking for. You only get to see what ESPN wants you to see. I don’t watch UFC or MMA so why do they keep sending me notifications for it? The best part is when you watch a video and the 45 second ad plays perfectly then the actual video doesn’t load and you have to reload the app and watch the ad again. Then the video ends and it goes straight into another ad before you can rewind it to watch the 5 second highlight again. Soooo bad and they don’t have to improve because there is no real competition. Super sad they are complacent more -
Sep 9, 2021 By Jeremy WilliamsIf you just want scores it's great, but it is useless for anything else. I used to spend hours on this app, but now I get a bunch of notifications for stories I can't even read because I don't want ESPN+. If I need to have the subscription to read your stories, don't notify me about them. Disney will be the death of ESPN. more -
Everything Except Streaming is Great
May 16, 2018 By Bearsman34ESPN, I have been all ESPN ever since I was old enough to care about sports. The writing and reporting is phenomenal, and I love to be the one in my family to break the biggest sports news. The app is great with notifications on your favorite teams and leagues as well as breaking sports news. The radio streaming and podcasts are great especially my favorites (Lebatard Show, Golic and Wingo, and 30 for 30). I will continue to use this app for all of those reasons. I do however wish you guys had full game highlights online, but I digress. The only bad thing I have to say is how god awful the streaming is. Tried to watch the ECF between cavs and Celtics and it lagged throughout the entire game when casting it to my chrome cast. It did the same just trying to watch on my phone and I have gigabit internet. I don’t know why that has always been an issue for ESPN. It has sucked since the first release of WatchESPN. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!! I’m begging you because the wife kicks me out of our tv room when I’m trying to watch the games! Thank you ESPN, and keep up the good work! more -
Great Streaming / Content; Horrible UI and customization
May 26, 2019 By <Bayani>If there’s an event to watch or immediate sports news, the ESPN app is the place to watch and stay up to date. If you don’t want to know everything about the most popular sports and the sports that espn is most actively advertising, this is not the app for you. Especially if you’re paying for ESPN plus - not worth it. They do a great job from a business perspective of holding content captive but, once you’re forced to get a membership in order to watch a UFC PPV, and you think “oh cool, I’ll get some awesome content” - think again. With the lack of customization, it’s utterly disappointing. You get a lot of content but, if you’re a fight fan, the amount of content available is abysmal. Beyond that, it’s a nightmare to search for the content you want or to see specific news and updates unless that happens to coincide with whatever espn is pushing. It’s seemingly impossible to customize your feed and, even tho you pick favorites, there doesn’t seem to be an easily accessible favorites feed. I’m pretty disappointed. more

Kut app - Fox app was 10000x beter
Jan 31, 2021 By Adrie VerbijFox sports was top, topscorers van de competitie kon je zien en per speelronde overzichtelijk alle wedstrijden. Toen kwam ESPN en nu is het helemaal kut. Echt verschrikkelijk. -
Sep 19, 2021 By Mark SuehrStopped working on my phone and on my TV. I've tried everything including hours on the phone with different espn reps and I can't get anywhere. It used to work perfectly and one day just stopped, now I can't even get my money back and nothing works. I've deleted and re-download. I've reset my roku, I've reset everything and it just says that the content can't play at this time, try again later. Espn has been zero help to me and they just pass the problem on down the line. more -
Wish i had more hands. At least 4 thumbs down
Jun 14, 2021 By robbwellsIf you love ads and miss regular cable commercials this is the app for you. ESPN is the world wide leader in sports no question so i find myself using the app out of habit but not by choice. I would delete but i pay ESPN+ for soccer matches. Most apps start free, then they up sell you by telling you hey pay and we get rid of or minimize ads. Not ESPN. You got ads, commercials, and content trying to run at the same time causing the app to, in simple terms, not work. Sad to say but i think the only thing that really works flawlessly in this app is the running of the ads however they can only seem to figure out how to run THE SAME ad over and over again. At least cable tv switches up the commercials and u might run into something you might actually want. Espn runs the same ad before anything and everything you click there is no escaping it. I’d go as far as to say the ads work better than most of the videos they post of the actual content you are looking for. Tap in for a highlight you will get a flawlessly run ad followed by a barely functional video of the content you want. And if u miss that video and try to replay guess what, ANOTHER AD, the same ad, the same exact one u just watched. Insanity. I doubt anyone at ESPN cares they are suffering from success at the highest level. However when a formidable opponent comes along they will be in big trouble. more -
This WAS my favorite app
Jan 10, 2021 By Jimi-ThangUp until a couple of months ago I used this app daily on my iPhone. I loved being able to watch my favorite shows live or on replay at the office. I also enjoyed being able to watch live sporting events when traveling for work. Then one day I couldn’t watch anything on my iPhone anymore. Either I get an error message saying “something went wrong, please try again later” or just a spinning wheel that goes for awhile before timing out. The app for my Roku still works fine but by I have very little free time on weekdays it’s almost pointless. The whole reason I got the app was so I could catch Get Up and a few other shows away from home, so I could “watch from anywhere” like their commercials always say. I had hoped that their recent update would fix the problem but no such luck. Oh, and one last thing, I’ve tried chatting with support twice. The first time nobody ever contacted me like they said they would and the second time they asked a few questions and then just stopped, never to be heard from again. I tried all of the things they asked (power cycling my iPhone, uninstalling the app and then downloading it again, etc. Nothing worked and I am beyond disgusted at this point. I still watch ESPN at home and still love the shows I like, it’s just too bad I don’t get to watch nearly as often as I used too.... It used to be a 5 star rating, now not so much. more -
Sep 20, 2021 By New England StreamersCompletely unacceptable service from espn+. Most of the time the motion blur is so bad that the whole app is unwatchable. App crashes all the time and does not pickup where you were, you have to start whole event over. You have to scroll for ever to get to certain events because the search bar is useless. It's one of the, if not THE most expensive app avaliable and it's undoubtedly the poorest performing. The amount they charge is criminal imo, especially for the trash service they provide. more -
Sep 18, 2021 By Darrell CroninI just paid $69.00 so I could watch a game that was in progress. Started watching the game, next thing I know the app is saying that it was only a preview. After a few min the app stopped showing the game and said that I would need to sign in with my TV provider.....I do not have a TV provider, that is why I just paid $69.00. WHAT IN THE WORLD DID I DO??? WHAT DID I JUST PAY FOR????? more -
Poor App, difficult to connect/watch
Jan 4, 2020 By Shahryar1983I honestly have difficulty deciding which is worse, the ESPN app or the website, as far as being able to view live games. Typically, I have to log in and out 5-10 times and independently log in to my cable provider 5-10 times each time I want to stream live games or replays. It’s quite amazing how many times you can be told that your cable subscription does not cover the live stream only to find out, on the 10th attempt, that it does. Considering it’s listed as one of the supported cable subscriptions, I’m guessing the 10th time is accurate. I have considered the possibility that it’s related to my cable provider, but since I experience the same issues with my ESPN+ subscription without going through my cable provider, I’m guessing it’s not. Of note, ESPN+ won’t be renewed. I remember watching ESPN when I was young and have continued to do so as I approach middle age, but the difficulty in accessing programming with more modern technology is quite frustrating and makes me want to find another avenue to watch my football, baseball, etc. Disney, if you’re reading this, you could really help improve the quality by fixing some of these issues before a mass exodus of subscribers who watch on mobile devices or their computers. more -
Sep 19, 2021 By Samuel RobertsDon't get this app. You won't get what they advertise and it's impossible to cancel. I had it for literally 30 minutes, couldn't find what they offered and paid $90. I spent two hours trying to cancel and unsubscribe. What a disaster. Their developers and their PI teams shoud be ashamed. more -
Sep 9, 2021 By Nate AlcantaraIt used to work fine until I tried watching the latest F1 race live streaming to Chromecast and it kept restarting the stream or going to another live channel. I tried watching the US Open live tonight and it kept restarting my Chromecast stream. It has to be the app because YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. all stream to my Chromecast perfectly fine. more -
Quality of Articles
Nov 1, 2018 By USMarineKVI use the app for updates on scores mainly. The content in terms of writing, is often old, and without substance that would differentiate from merely the score. Redundancy seems to be the theme with ESPN. Let’s just write and speak the same things over and over regardless of the audience be it on an app or television. I miss Peter Gammons and his writing, but I will compliment Buster Olney for his piece on the Red Sox. ESPN needs more of that, and less of the redundancy. Return to the daily writing of yesteryear! Do some actually research and writing! There’re stories out there, and one of them is the return of “heat, cheese, hard-ball” through a proliferation of hard throwing relievers and starting pitching that has brought baseball back full circle. Spinning is still statistically important, but good old country hardball has returned! Here it is, hit it if you can is what every fan wants to see! Nathan Eavoldi showed the world that, of the many players in today’s game who have had Tommy John Surgery, a return to, and in some cases, new found power pitching is possible. So, country hardball, and Hope should be the theme to talk about in much more depth. Seek out minor leaguers, follow them as well, and shed light on what’s the biggest development in baseball today. more
What’s Groovy
I have ESPN+, but yet half the time ads are shown do I have to close and reopen the app. That usually works for a while, but now even that starts. I simply just don't watch any videos because the ads are too long, again there shouldn't be any ads for ESPN+ users. It's been this way for the 2 years I've been using, you'd think they fix it by now. Other than that it's the best one stop app for all sports scores and more.

What’s Subpar
The ESPN app, as well as ESPN+ app, has one of the most unwieldy UI interfaces I've seen from a paid app. I'm currently trying to chromecast a game and it will randomly switch me to a CFL game mid-stream. When I lock the phone the audio plays through the phone as well as through the TV. For the price to go up and the sevice to remain at the bottom of the barrel for user experience is unacceptable.
