  1. [R5] NFHS Network 5/5 · US Love this app: This is my go to when I want to keep up with high school sports.
  2. [R20] NFHS Network 3/5 · US Cheap: While I enjoy the content the only 1 stream rule is infuriating. I often want to watch 2 games from my area that are playing at the same time I can watch one on my tv other on computer it would be nice if a option existed for paying for a second stream. The app is limiting me to flipping back and forth missing action with multiple ads.
  3. [R66] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Just ok: The app falls short for minor sports such as wrestling, volleyball and golf. The coverage is weak for many women’s sports, too.
  4. [R119] CBS Sports 5/5 · US Scores and More at My Fingertips: I’ve used CBS Sports app for years and it has always delivered: news, scores, and my favorite teams’ info as well. Easy to navigate and lots of information at my fingertips.
  5. [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
  6. [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
  7. [R61] 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
  8. [R10] NFHS Network 1/5 · US Colebrook nh game: This sucks. It keeps going to the “NFHS network thank you for your patience”.I haven’t even seen a full inning. I can’t hear the announcers, and most of the time, the voice and picture don’t match. I want my money back.
  9. [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.
  10. [R96] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Downfall: Was one of the best sports app now constantly wrong scores , wrong times , wrong starters , and completely fabricated events in the game it will tell you that Jalen Brunson hit a three and the score is 145 to 160 when the score is 44-45 in the second it’s really bad , chat will block you for any slang any abbreviations any talk of money line or talks of them rigging also does not go thro
  11. [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
  12. [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.
