Would have given more stars, but they only partner with a handful of TV providers. Therefore, I'm unable to watch games via the app. Pretty lame. I have NBA tv through my cable provider and should therefore be able to watch through the app if the app were a legit platform. Nothing like a multi billion dollar league cutting corners with their tech. Get with the times already!
I disabled autoplay for videos, but every time I want to do something as simple as look at a box score, the videos still autoplay regardless of whether I'm on wifi or not. An hour after a game has ended, box scores will show stats as if it's halfway through the second quarter. I never write negative reviews but I'm just super disappointed this year. I hate the espn app but I find myself using that more at least for checking box scores. I dunno maybe I'm crazy.
Much worse app than last year. When streaming to my TV captions covering the score are forced on and volume on the TV is forced to 100%. If I want to watch a YouTube video on my phone while a game is on commercial it pauses the video on my TV, which it did not do last year. There's also no way to scroll forward to catch back up which casting to the TV. If you can pull the games up from your laptop you'll probably have a better experience than this garbage. Utterly disappointed.
I was charged in 3 Separate occasions for the league pass and still it wouldn't even let me watch the Lakers vs Heat game(following Heat) on 12-28-2022. It literally says that I have league pass and in my subscription but still refuses to allow me to watch a game no matter how many times I restart the app, clear cache, redownload, sign out sign in, nothing works. It charged me without giving me access to the game or games and I still haven't been refunded. Also, there's no phone customer serv
Needs a desperate update. Can be 10 min behind live and it still freezes and looks super blocky. Most un smooth video ever on top of it. Looks like it skips 2-3 frames every second. Doesn't matter if you have full bars with the best reception available. If you don't have wifi this app is just a terrible time to use. Changed to 1 star from 2. It's so bad. Every time I go back to it, it gets worse. I didn't think it was possible.
I'd give a zero if I could, logs me out without me doing so, streams stop halfway through a game with some type of error, sometimes can't get the stream you're looking for (get an alternate stream rather than the one you're wanting to watch). Considering the cost for a full season, I'd expect this to be better than it is. I'm actually very surprised this has an overall rating of 4.5 at the time of writing.
This is a pretty bad app. Plain and simple. Horrid design, sometimes unusable. I'll start to stream a game and for some reason no matter what stream I select it'll be a camera angle solely focused on one player. So I can't see anything else that's going on in the game. And to make matters worse the website is unusable. I'm getting a "request failed" every time I try to log in. This is what I paid $100 dollars for? Changed review from 2 to 1 star because I've been trying to login for 30 mins now.
Won't stream a game without pausing every few seconds. Hate all the ads that have been added. If you click to watch a game you have to watch a 30 second app. If you want to change which recording you watch, you have to watch another ad. You loose your place in a game if you have to pause and turn your screen off. At least the app last year worked. Update: still doesn't stream on my chromecast. Freezes every few seconds. I have the latest version of the app and the newest chromecast. Unbelievabl
The app used to be a lot better 2 or 3 years ago. You didn't have to pay for a League Pass subscription in order to watch Game Recaps or Highlight videos. I understand needing one to watch a Game Replay, but not the highlights. The only videos that you are able to watch are like TikTok style videos to tap through. So, if that is ok with you, be my guest. I would not recommend this app if you are just wanting highlights. Just go to YouTube or ESPN for that.
I'm subscribed through DirecTV but I'm unable to watch games on app. I have been on technical support with DirecTV for 3 days we've tried everything. I contacted NBA support and all y'all can say is, "it's a DirecTV issue". After reading all of the reviews I doubt its DirecTV problem, seems as though its a NBA app problem that needs to be corrected immediately!! Your new app sucks and I'm very disappointed that I'm paying $250 for a service I can't use.
