1. [R1] Bleacher Report 2/5 · US Ads: I’ve used this app for years but recently I can’t even use it anymore because I’m not getting so many ads on it that I can’t navigate the app. It’s filled with pop-ups and anytime I try to read anything or just navigate the app it’s redirecting me to a third party site. It’s giving off the feel of an unsafe website that will lead to viruses. It’s a shame that the app has gotten to this point.
2. [R6] Bleacher Report 3/5 · US Ads getting worse: I feel like the ads are starting to get worse. It’s starting to be a task just to look at one article, and have to scroll past 15 ads. Please figure something out.
3. [R12] Bleacher Report 3/5 · US ?: While scrolling will occasionally send ads to browser. Stop!
4. [R28] Bleacher Report 1/5 · US Started forcing ads: Keeps getting worse. So bad I finally had enough and deleted the app. Never again BR. You keep opening ads in articles as I try to read them and not allowing me to scroll past them. Worst update ever. No more.
5. [R10] Bleacher Report 1/5 · US Not receiving notifications: I changed iphones to a most recent one (from iphone 12 to iphone 17) and I haven’t received a notification since. Every setting in the device and in the app regarding allowing notifications are enabled and Im still having this issue. I have tried every troubleshooting Ive found and it still not working. I recently deleted my account and I’ll be deleting this app. I co
6. [R13] Bleacher Report 1/5 · US Awful: This app is awful simply because I never get notifications. The reason for this app is B/R is the fastest around when it comes to breaking news. I contacted customer service last week, told them the issue. They replied with a screenshot with how notifications should be set up. Like duh, acting I don’t know what I am doing. Sent a message back and it’s been crickets ever since. 🤦🏻‍♂️
7. [R21] Bleacher Report 3/5 · US Notifications: I like the app and all but I’m getting tired of looking every 20 minutes to see 60 notifications that you have to manually get rid of before they all disappear
8. [R25] Bleacher Report 1/5 · US Latest update: Nothing is updating under any genre, again a bad update
9. [R3] Bleacher Report 3/5 · US Not like before: App needs the widget back!
10. [R4] Bleacher Report 1/5 · US 11 FEB Update: Today’s update is straight trash. I don’t know what the developers were thinking. Then had the nerve to have the new BR icon in the sideline of the game. Focus less on the marketing and more on the actual app. Update 30 Jun they still need to update notifications and the comment section.
11. [R9] Bleacher Report 3/5 · US Old BR: Loved the old version. This one not so much
12. [R14] Bleacher Report 5/5 · US BR: Bleacher report is an amazing app for sports content but the old version of the app was way better
13. [R16] Bleacher Report 1/5 · US MISSING UFL GAME DAY SCORES!: You guys have a category for UFL but absolutely nothing for game days or game scores!
14. [R19] Bleacher Report 1/5 · US Load Times to Open App Ridiculous: Wtf happen to this it take 60+ second to open every time anytime anywhere.
15. [R33] Bleacher Report 3/5 · GB Tennis Scores: Tennis scores are non existent, please fix.
16. [R50] Bleacher Report 4/5 · US Great, minir issues: Great sports app, im always ahead of my friends but very glitchy. Other than the minor glitches its a great app. I recommend
17. [R24] Bleacher Report 3/5 · US It’s Ok now: Was a lot better when they didn’t do the videos when you could just read something instead of listening to someone stupid opinion
18. [R37] Bleacher Report 1/5 · US Unbelievable garbage: This is the worst sports app out there. If you consider yourself a knowledgeable sports fan go elsewhere. They have absolutely terrible writers and it’s a Terribly run app. I’d be embarrassed to tell anyone I write articles for bleacher report. Their reputation is clickbait and corny videos.
19. [R45] Bleacher Report 1/5 · US App is a shell of what it once was: Just a few list of issues on the app, went away from written articles to videos (with ads), incredibly outdated comment section (no way to access prior comments or replies, a terrible reaction interface) and absolutely next to zero original content article wise relying on other sites on information and articles themselves. Genuinely makes me want to move to athl
20. [R51] 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.
21. [R55] ESPN 5/5 · US The greatness of ESPN: Dear ESPN, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ESPN app delivers an outstanding sports experience with a clean, intuitive interface and exceptionally reliable coverage. Live scores update seamlessly, breaking news is timely and comprehensive, and the personalized features make it effortless to follow my favorite teams and leagues. The streaming quality is consistently excellent, and the app strikes

24. [R66] theScore 5/5 · US The Best: i have used ScoreMobile for a decade or so; no need to quit anytime soon.
25. [R72] theScore 5/5 · US Amazing: Super helpful when trying to get good info fast
26. [R74] 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
27. [R76] theScore 5/5 · US So close to being the single best live score app for MLB: I use TheScore mainly for MLB baseball. I’ve tried basically ever other viable app (Apple sports, yahoo sports, cbs sports, sports alerts, real, sofascore, flashscore) for live scores, and the one that seemed to work the best out of all of them was TheScore. I really have almost no gripes with this app at all. The only thing that I would lo
28. [R79] 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
29. [R80] 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
30. [R81] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Stop: Stop asking me to review your app.
31. [R82] CBS Sports 1/5 · US App is bad: Stop asking me to rate
32. [R93] NFL 1/5 · US Waste: Most of what you want will be blacked out.,
33. [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.
34. [R98] NFL 3/5 · US Steady billing: I liked the app. But after I cancelled it, it is still billing me for it 3 months later.
35. [R99] NFL 2/5 · US When watching a game: When I watching games all everytime the game freezes up or slow about catching up because sometimes when watching the game is playing the it jumps ahead and that’s not cool when you pay for a series and can’t watch it I’ve got WiFi just fix it and I see this app also has a lot of complaints
36. [R108] The Athletic 5/5 · US Saved Favorites: The Athletic is fantastic. A modern-day version of The National magazine. However, as of today favorites are disappearing? Please push a fix. Thank you
37. [R109] The Athletic 3/5 · US Fine: Love the content, but I should have ads in app behind a pay wall that I’ve already paid. They need to be taken out if I pay for a subscription. Or add a “no ad subscription”
38. [R111] The Athletic 5/5 · US Amazing: So much pro insight easy access to so many games well actually all games 5 stars love it
39. [R112] The Athletic 3/5 · US Cannot comment: The content is good but I’m unable to comment on anything
40. [R78] theScore 5/5 · US Extremely Handy: Great quick way to get scores,stats and TV channels
41. [R113] The Athletic 2/5 · US Control over notifications is significantly lacking: For many years, I've been able to configure push notifications in-app to suit my preferences perfectly. I set up notifications for the teams, sports and leagues that I enjoy following, and disallowed all other notifications. Recently they started giving push notifications for the Pulse Newsletter; theres no way to turn these off in the app. The
42. [R116] The Athletic 1/5 · US Unwanted notifications and no way to provide feedback: Every morning, the app pushes notifications for the “pulse newsletter” and sometimes also some big sports event, today it was “meet summer’s soccer stars”, even though I have no soccer teams/leagues flagged to follow. There are no settings to turn these notifications on/off. I only have notifications on for my teams. To make it worse, the f
43. [R54] ESPN 1/5 · US Paid for mlb doesn’t work: Will NEVER buy again
