What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R1] ESPN 1/5 · US Worst App: I bought the subscription for a month to see Wimbledon. The streaming stopped working so many times. I reset everything and I still have the same problem. I wish I could rated 0 star. Let me mention that the other apps on my Samsung TV work fine.
2. [R4] ESPN 1/5 · US Paid for mlb doesn’t work: Will NEVER buy again
3. [R9] ESPN 3/5 · US App Crashing: I like the app, and it’s easy to use. The issue with it though is that it will randomly crash while I’m reading an article. Happens too often and I don’t experience this with my other apps. If it weren’t for this I’d give it 5 stars.
4. [R10] ESPN 1/5 · US Broken app: Every time I try and read article, or anything else, I get about five sentences in and the app tries to break itself. It will either send me to the home page, switch to some random article, or gray screen. The app has been completely unusable for the last month. I’ve had the app for multiple years and just uninstalled it.
5. [R16] ESPN 1/5 · US The worst: Downloaded this to watch Wimbledon and have found it incredibly frustrating to find the matches I want to see or navigate all the noise. Plus the amount and repetition of ads is crazy making.
6. [R19] ESPN 1/5 · US Do not waste your money on subscriptions: I subscribed to ESPN specifically to watch the Wimbledon 2026 men’s and women’s singles matches in the US. Because of the time difference, the matches are played while I’m at work, so I expected to watch the replays in the evening. Instead, I paid for a subscription that still includes a lot of advertising, and by the time I get home, many of the matches
7. [R12] ESPN 3/5 · US Just one little tweak: All espn has to do is stop notifying people about the sports they didn’t pick I’m a Christian American why do I care about soccer when the nba and nfl offseason are going on
8. [R28] ESPN 1/5 · US Notifications: Every time I turn the notifications off somehow they come back on
9. [R30] ESPN 3/5 · GB Good but notifications annoying: Really good app, but the notification control is very annoying. I don’t care about college basketball, but despite having the notifications off it it get endless college basketball updates
10. [R31] ESPN 1/5 · US Lazy: Unlike other apps where you can choose the content direction and stay in the area of sports that you are attracted to this app continually hammers you with content “they” think is best. II have know and will not change my opinion the WNBA and their NBA enablers suck. STOP
11. [R6] ESPN 3/5 · US Keep Politics Out of Sports: Pretty simple.
12. [R7] ESPN 1/5 · US R@cist commentary: When Steven a smith was allowed to say what he did with no backlash I realized espn caters to a double standard. I will be deleting services and my app.
13. [R15] ESPN 3/5 · US Espn: Decent source for broad news. Expect a very left wing undertone in the messaging to flat out ra$ist with some of their on air broadcasting and production
14. [R40] ESPN 1/5 · US ESPN: ESPN is garbage. Cant cover anything but NBA and is full of libtards. SVP Ian’s bucci only people worth a pay check.
15. [R3] ESPN 3/5 · US No AUSL coverage?: Recent update still doesn’t show professional softball league scores or as an option to add as a favorite. It’s been a league for at least 2 years and you haven’t added it?!
16. [R8] ESPN 4/5 · US Table of contents: Put the table of contents at the beginning.
17. [R25] ESPN 1/5 · US App sucks: Interface trash doesn’t load always behind.. everything sucks about this app it’s cuts off music n youtube when u open this app everything bad about a sports app to check scores with this app has does
18. [R52] theScore 5/5 · US The Best: i have used ScoreMobile for a decade or so; no need to quit anytime soon.
19. [R55] theScore 5/5 · US King sport: One of the best spot app I love it 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
20. [R58] theScore 5/5 · US Amazing: Super helpful when trying to get good info fast
21. [R60] theScore 5/5 · US Best app for following live sports: I’ve found this to be the best app for following live sports, tracking your favorite teams, and keeping up to date with major news of the day. I love that the developers are constantly updating it with new features and improved user interface. Whether following a game play by play or customizing your home teams page to your preferred layout, this is #1 in my boo
22. [R65] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Bad Update: The new update makes the app look like social media, not an app that actually has articles with sports stories along with the scores
23. [R66] CBS Sports 5/5 · US Good: It’s fun to watch games on here umm yeah it’s good but developers pls respond to me I just think it’s cool lol
24. [R67] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Stop: Stop asking me to review your app.
25. [R68] CBS Sports 1/5 · US App is bad: Stop asking me to rate
26. [R79] DAZN 1/5 · US App barely works: Ever since the update the app barely works on my iPad anymore. I cannot watch hockey games, they either skip, freeze, or, after a few minutes, just freeze up the entire iPad system. Whatever you “updated” has just broken it.
27. [R80] DAZN 5/5 · US Quit asking me everyday: Quit asking me everyday for a review. This is a good app you do not need to troll for affirmation every time
28. [R81] DAZN 3/5 · US 3 stars...: I download and use the app only for a simple pay-per-view event, when I was compleating the payment, notice that the app bound you to accept automatic renew subscription service. I can cancel it after the event (that what I do) but the process to cancel the subscription was long with offers after offers and "reasons" to no cancel it. I got no problem with my pay-per-view event yet I go
29. [R82] DAZN 1/5 · US DO NOT SUBSCRIBE: 4 months after canceling my subscription DAZN continues to charge my debit card. They don’t have a customer service number to talk to a representative. You have to chat. You will then be told that it’s your responsibility to contact your bank in order to stop the disputed transactions. Absolutely poor customer service. All who have experienced the same, let’s file a lawsuit. My l
30. [R93] NFL 1/5 · US Waste: Most of what you want will be blacked out.,
31. [R94] NFL 5/5 · US Solid app but minimal games: The app is cheap with prime time games, but no out of market games…REDZONE IS OVERPRICED. However, this is my go-to as an affordable option to watch local teams.
32. [R95] NFL 3/5 · US Too many ads: The amount of ads is ridiculous
33. [R96] NFL 1/5 · US 👎👎: This app will not let me sign in because I accidentally set my age to low
34. [R107] Sling 1/5 · US Would not unlock channels: A waist of money. I purchased online a 1 day pass. It would not unlock the channels. A family member also tried and the same thing happened to them. I would not recommend this service. I would have gave 0 stars but it is not possible.
35. [R108] Sling 5/5 · US The Best Option !: Sling offers Such A Wide Range of Entertainment and Live World News and Events! Cannot beat the Price and Best of All I stay in Touch With Indian Entertainment World and News!
36. [R109] Sling 3/5 · US Problems with app: The app is terrible. I am constantly removing it and then downloading it to get it to work.
37. [R110] Sling 1/5 · US Playing on AirPlay Issue - Still Broken at 9.41.1 and Sling Won’t Fix: Now at v9.41.1. Ever since the v9 update months ago, Sling introduced a bug where the on-screen player controls stay displayed and will not disappear when Airplaying to speakers (HomePods). I’ve let support know several times and have left feedback here. And for whatever reason, they won’t fix it. Make the app unusable for my p
38. [R84] DAZN 3/5 · US Fights are out priced for unknowns: App is good but $80 for fights for unknowns is rediculous
39. [R87] DAZN 3/5 · US livestream issues: during boxing live events if you're not watching in real time the video can error out and you'll lose your place in the video. its hard to keep a bookmark on the fights it may not always save your watch time. Its decent but can use more stability improvements.
40. [R89] DAZN 4/5 · US Great content Just Hate the Freezes In Live Events: Great app and content love boxing and the other sports provided but for me to have the premium subscription I shouldn’t have to freezing or lagging on every live event it takes away from the joy of fight night if every 3-5 mins it’s buffering
41. [R92] DAZN 5/5 · US All of boxing under one platform: Very satisfied with having all the major promoters under one platform.
42. [R114] Sling 5/5 · US Greatest Choice of shows: I’ve been watching Sling for few years now. I have “Sling Blue”. I enjoy such a wide range of shows as well as great local and national news. It’s the BEST!
