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] NFHS Network 1/5 · US Cancelling is hard: I’ve used this app twice. You should be able to pay for a single sporting event without buying a monthly subscription. One time fee would be easy. I’d even pay more. I’ve used the app twice and spent more time trying to verify who I am just to cancel the subscription which invariably fails. The model of getting people to sign up hoping they will forget to cancel is disingenuous
  2. [R4] NFHS Network 1/5 · US Bad quality and terrible customer service: SCAM ALERT SCAM ALERT DO NOT PUT YOUR PAYMENT INFO ON YHIS APP ! They don’t put the right labels on streams and I was told by the “CUSTOMER SERVICE”hat I would receive a refund and never did then they tried charging me again after I cancelled my subscription ! And it was a total nightmare to cancel ! Didn’t ven stream he game I missed my daughters last
  3. [R13] NFHS Network 1/5 · US Terrible streaming: Paid $80 for annual and went to watch my kids championship game. Coverage continually cut out. Very disappointing since I paid more for this service than most streaming services. Sub-par
  4. [R61] NewsBreak 1/5 · US Terrible source for news.: The headlines are always over the top and misleading. Usually notifications are for stories that are either old or irrelevant.
  5. [R7] NFHS Network 2/5 · US Why is it so hard to unsubscribe from this app ? I’ve tried several times unsuccessfully. (Help): Unsubscribe issues
  6. [R24] NFHS Network 3/5 · US Glitchy on tv: I’ve had this for a while now with no problem. All of a sudden it keeps saying email or password is incorrect. So I reset it and it still does the same thing. But on my phone all is correct. Customer service is slim to none. This is not worth 11.99 a month.
  7. [R63] NewsBreak 3/5 · US Frustrated: Too many advertisements. I keep seeing sources i don’t want to see
  8. [R22] NFHS Network 3/5 · US Streaming is Unreliable: Constant buffering, jumping, or completely shutting off. Not a reliable way to watch your team play.
  9. [R35] NFHS Network 1/5 · US What am I paying for?: Trying to watch the Texas high school baseball playoffs the last two weeks and the reception for the games is horrible. Constantly going in and out.
  10. [R49] NFHS Network 1/5 · US Unreliable: Stream constantly freezes, buffers, or is just not available at all. I feel like a fool for paying $15 for this…
  11. [R69] NewsBreak 3/5 · US Informative BUT Slow reporting: Very informative however the news always appears to be days and/or hours behind.
  12. [R57] NFHS Network 1/5 · US Pricey & inconsistent: I do not see how they charge more than some streaming services yet have this many technical issues. Trying to watch championship games with so many streaming issues on their end is ridiculous and highly disappointing. My family in other states were having the same problems. I kept trying to switch to the iPad app and use the browser because the app on my phone would not work
  13. [R60] NFHS Network 1/5 · US Worst App Ever: I purchased a subscription to this app to watch my granddaughter play at the state tournament. It was difficult to get into every game and during the game the app glitched out. Few minutes we literally missed half the game. This was their app glitching not my Internet because it said be patient while we’re working on this. Do not waste your money or your time.
  14. [R101] NewsBreak 1/5 · US The Best, but NOT in a Good way: If you enjoy Spam and Scam Ads that try to sell you wonder goods and treatment, then NewsBreak is the best app for you. But if you don’t like Spam and Scam, you are forced to pay a monthly fee for the ‘Premium’ Plan, which is the only way to block its relentless Spam & Scam Ads. NewsBreak does do a good job consolidating newsworthy articles of interest. Too bad the
  15. [R105] NewsBreak 1/5 · US Horrible app: This is the worst news app ever. They give you promote videos that you don’t want to see, and they don’t give you any local news without having to pay for it. You paid $59 a year to get nothing. I wish you could get your money back cause it’s ridiculous.
  16. [R90] NewsBreak 3/5 · US Material in app: I use to love this App until I really started to show its tru blue colors. It’s very obvious they side with the Democrats , when it should be none bias. I do like the local news but very few articles. The police reports are great. But the ads drive me crazy as does the bias.
  17. [R91] NewsBreak 1/5 · US the ads are out of hand: there’s no reason for there to be a bunch of unstoppable ads and pop-ups getting in the way of critical information
