I like this app a lot, I only use it to watch NBA games so I’m more than happy there. But the amount of ads that pop up are crazy. I know there are autoplay ads basically everywhere now, but this app takes it to the next level. If I want to watch a game on my phone, I open the app and have to sit through an ad before the game comes up. Fair enough. But ANY and EVERYtime I leave the app, I have to sit through another ad to watch the game again. If I take 5 seconds to text someone, I have to open the app again and sit through a 15 second ad. If I just want to look at my notifications or the time, another 15 second ad. Even if you close the game but stay on the TNT app, still another 15-20 second ad before watching the game again. Every single time. This gets really annoying when you are missing live game time for an ad you’ve seen 8 times already, or when you sit through one just for the program to come on right as it’s going into a commercial break.

Firstly, I don’t understand why the smart TV TNT app would exist just to require you to download the phone app to cast onto the TV. Secondly, this app is awful. Trying to watch a show while casting will randomly switch to a different live video without even pressing anything. It allows you to do other things on your phone while you use the app but then will also randomly switch to live video. You are unable to see what you have recently watched or resume the video it randomly exited out of so you have to scroll through the video and try and find where it left off. I would like to delete and no longer use this app as soon as possible but unfortunately I can’t watch the show I want to on any other service without paying for another extra subscription. This needs to change. I don’t understand why this has such good reviews.EDIT: Have checked all the suggestions after the developer response and am having the same issues. I even tried using the app on a different phone and the issues still occur. If you exit the app, the video you’re watching will stop and switch to a different video. Since for some reason there isn’t a feature which saves your place on the video that you have been watching, we have to restart it and scroll through to try and find where we left off. Still do not understand why it has 4/5 stars when so many people in the recent comments are also having issues with the app.

TBS and TNT, both during live sports broadcasts all of the sudden rewind back several minutes. Most infuriating is it typically happens during the 4th quarter in basketball or the 3rd period in hockey. There may be 3 minutes to go in game and then all of the sudden there’s 8 minutes to go. The quickest way to get back to live is usually to quickly tap screen to go to west coast stream and tap again to back to east coast stream. Then you have to sit through commercial again due to their screw-up (likely the reason they never fix this problem as I see there’s other complaints for same issue or for when it just freezes in general, also a typical problem). I have literally missed the end of games as it has happened near the end and as you try to get back to live feed it’s over. Could try to sit through the rewind and hope it doesn’t happen again but shouldn’t have to. I’m not sure developers want to fix this problem but if you don’t know how, maybe you should contact the developers of literally ANY other live stream app and ask them how to avoid problem since this only seems to happen with your apps. Have left same review on TBS

EDIT: I wrote the scathing review below last year. I got an email from the developer apologizing for my user experience, promising improvements. But this year the app is somehow worse!!! Now not only does it freeze constantly and play a 30 second commercial upon reboot (making you miss game action) but it just randomly rewinds by minutes. Seriously, this is THE WORST app I use. With all the resources TNT has, why the eff is their app this pathetically awful?I see the tnt app has a good rating. What?!?!?!?! I’ve found it to be the most buggy, least reliable, most frequently crashing app I use. As if the CONSTANT crashes weren’t bad enough, they play a 30 second commercial every time you have to reopen it. Which is doubly obnoxious when you’re watching the nba. I thought the problem might be my older iPad and Apple TV. Of course, I didn’t have this crashing problem with any other app. It was time so I upgraded. And STILL this is the buggiest, crashiest, most annoying app I use. Also, no Apple TV app makes me sign in more often. And the iPad version doesn’t have a volume control. It can’t just be me who has this app crash constantly. But they have a good score. I don’t get it. Hate. This. App.
