So in the battle to see who is best, FOX, ESPN, CBS, I’m still trying to find my perfect app. Your app is not as easy to set up when searching for leagues or teams to follow, but unlike ESPN there is no limit on the number of followed teams or alerts you can request and unlike CBS, you don’t flood the game notifications with extra info like who covered the spread. If you can provide end of quarter updates and or scoring play options like ESPN does, you are on their heals. Also, while all the major sports apps cover all the major world soccer leagues, you don’t cover the CFL in football or the NPB or KBO in baseball. If you offer those options, you are crushing the competition. I would also work to make the accessible features more strait forward, while the app is technically accessible in all ways where I have tried to use it in setting up alerts and other preferences, it is not the most intuitive. If providing scoring updates at various points in the game for baseball, giving the option of every inning or every third inning is ideal. Winning, losing and save pitchers on the final score notification would be nice. Also, when sending any final score, rather then going road team/home team, I would prefer that it always be winning team/losing team. Finally, for the leagues like the NBA, WNBA, NHL, NFL, MLB, and CFl/NPB/KBO if you add those, rather than sending an abbreviation for the team name, why not just include the team name such as Cubs or add the team name so it reads CHI Cubs and CHI White Sox as an example. Screen reader users listening to their alerts some times have to do a double or triple take because of how some abbreviations read.

As far as content goes, Fox has less than ESPN but that doesn't really anyone. I mainly use the Fox app via AppleTV so that’s the basis for my review. That said, the only feature the Fox Sports TV app has over ESPN is ability to start an in-progress game over from beginning rather than just join in live. For that reason I gave it 3 stars rather than 2. To be honest I’ve used that maybe one or twice when I forgot to record a game and joined it late and wanted to watch the whole thing from start to finish with no spoilers. The one immense edge that ESPN has over Fox is ability to stream up to 4 games simultaneously in PIP or grid setup. That feature alone makes ESPN the go to app for sports TV streaming. I can’t believe Fox doesn’t have this yet. Every Sat I’ve got the 4 best games streaming on ESPN and the only reason I tune in to Fox is if my team is on their network. Add in the multi stream and I may consider a switch but until then ESPN TV app dominates.With the World Cup coming in couple weeks, this would be perfect time to introduce a multi stream feature.

This is a visionary sports app that has gone in a completely different direction, bringing fans everywhere a truly unique sports viewing experience--one totally devoid of sports! Whereas even the most unstable sports apps typically make it through several seconds of a game at a time, typically quitting immediately before a crucially pivotal play, the brainiacs here at Fox Sports have opted to skip out on the whole sports thing entirely. Instead, they have developed a killer app that replays an endless stream of the same two commercials without ever showing any sports coverage. It's no secret that Fox and CBS have always lagged behind the other sports viewing apps (ESPN, even NBC) in terms of stability. While CBS decided to start charging for their clunker of an app to convince those duped into paying that their product was actually worth something, Fox has gone in a different direction entirely. Those intrepid fans who survive the initial stability issues with the TV provider login are rewarded in due course with an uninterrupted stream of the same two commercials repeating endlessly into eternity. No longer need they fear the dropped stream just before the game-winning walk-off RBI, or a long fieldgoal attempt to take the lead as time expires. My applause for the creativity and vision that went into this. One star for not charging us.

The app is a glitchy mess and somehow with all the updates it’s gotten worse. I watch football and was looking forward to the women’s World Cup. If I’m looking at something the app will glitch and the content won’t be available but it repositions my view to some seriously sketchy advertisements. It almost feels intentional. Content not loading or glitches happens with regularity. Then there’s the actual coverage, the games are scheduled but on cable Fox doesn’t always show the games but replaces them with something like NASCAR. On the app if the games are at normal times Fox won’t let me watch them, but if they are at 4-5am (World Cup is in Australia) then it’s ok for me to watch. They are still showing ads during the games (so, so many car ads) so it’s not like they are not making money. Since teamUSA got knocked out early it feels like Fox doesn’t feel fans will watch and that might be the reason for lackluster coverage. Wow way to support women’s sports Fox. It’s not just the World Cup I’ve run into issues with other sports as well. Glitches are bad enough but add blackouts and other nonsense and the experience degrades significantly. They show ads, collect your data so what’s the problem? Overall the quality of the app and coverage is subpar. I won’t feel bad deleting the app.
