I held off on writing this review hoping that some of the issues would be resolved… nope still awful. I have YES and MSG as part of my cable subscription and trying to watch on my phone or tablet has become so frustrating. Almost every time I use the app it asks me to subscribe or connect to tv provider. I have connected my tv provided countless times but it keeps removing it. So I go to link the tv provider and it won’t let me. Can’t even click the button to do it. The only way I can manage around this is to un-link my cable subscription, then completely remove my Gotham account from the app and restart everything from scratch. This needs to get fixed. So, once the app actually gets working to stream games is it good? No, no it is not. The “live” stream lags behind and ends up falling way behind even though it still says you are live. Sometimes ending up a full 1-2 minutes behind, which in the world of live sports is a long time. I end up getting texts or alerts before I can see it happen “live” on the app. This is unacceptable. There also is a real problem with the audio mixing as well as volume at times, very inconsistent. YES and MSG apps on their own were light years ahead of this Gotham garbage.

You must have paid people to take the time to write a positive review and give 5 stars. There’s no other way this app has 4 stars. Look at all the recent reviews. I’ve never seen an app or a website buffer and crash so often. It’s not my internet since I have every other tab or app running perfectly fine on my phone or computer. The development of this app and website obviously was so rushed. Oh and when I refresh after it inevitably crashes or buffers every 10-20 minutes, it always pops a 15-30 second ad up before I get to watch the game again. Once it begins buffering, it is in buffer purgatory, and will never reload the game on its own so I’m forced to refresh and see the ad. Over and over. Maybe they make the app buffer constantly on purpose to show more ads? Who cares about the user experience anyways. Also, if users pay $20 a month, why are there even ads on this platform? Make an ad tier and an ad free tier. Shameful, shameful practices, completely trash, and it won’t get fixed it because this is the only platform to watch the Yankees on in the NY DMA and people have to use it

App constantly buffers. Tv, phone, tablet. Money grabbing opportunity. You barely save money for combo. And with the insane amount that you pay to watch a hockey game 3 miles from your house it buffers every minute. YOU HAVE OUR MONEY USE IT TO MAKE THE STREAM BETTER. MSG you have constantly made being a NYR fans the most expensive and difficult thing to be. We pay enough living in this area we shouldn’t have to PAY EXTRA to watch a LOCAL game. No one paying the amount we are paying should have to deal with this consistent buffering and believe me it’s not the WiFi, it’s not the weather… ITS YOU. Compensation or refunds for this pathetic waste of money and time streaming app. Someone needs to start a protest or something. Paying for the stream is cheaper than going to the game but this app is the laziest most insufferable excuse and horrible representation of our local teams. Again. LOCAL. It’s not like we’re watching from Arizona. We are right here supporting and watching for decades. Cant wait for the next fan appreciation night bobble head. I’ll be sure to bobble it every time my stream buffers. Oops broke at the puck drop. Lazy jerks.

The Gotham Sports app is, hands down, the least intuitive, least user-friendly app I have ever used. Navigating through a game feels like a punishment, not a convenience. Want to fast-forward? Be prepared to tap a button every single time you want to skip 10 seconds. That’s right—there’s no scroll bar, no skip-ahead feature, nothing. If you want to jump halfway through a Yankees game, you’ll need to tap that button hundreds of times like it’s 1998 and you’re trying to win a rigged arcade game.The interface looks and functions like it was designed during the Windows 98 era, with zero consideration for modern usability standards. It’s clunky, outdated, and frustrating beyond belief. For a sports app in 2025, this is a complete embarrassment. Whoever designed this should take a long, hard look at literally any other streaming platform.If Gotham Sports is serious about user experience, this app needs a full rebuild—from the ground up. Until then, avoid it unless you enjoy rage-pressing your remote into oblivion.
