Haven’t had any issues watching my Sox and Bulls, hate the fact I can’t just put on WGN anymore, but I get it, capitalism doesn’t want the honest working person to have any kind of free entertainment. I had to change providers so I could have Comcast Sportsnet, then it got switched to NBC Sports Chicago which I think I switched again for, now I got rid of everything and pay $30 for this app, which feels like a lot but I got tired of just sitting by a radio. But, good functioning app. Been able to watch the games at work from my phone, so there’s that

I use the CHSN app on a Vizio TV to watch Sox games and it’s probably the worst app I have ever used. It buffers and freezes every 5-10 seconds, turns the closed captioning on and off as it chooses, and will interrupt mid gameplay to run an add consistently. Internet strength has nothing to do with it because all other apps work on my tv but this one is awful. Jerry Reinsdorf should be ashamed. Putting games behind a pay wall is one thing, but then allowing your fans to burn their money on an app that doesn’t work is another. 41 wins in 2024, followed up with an app that doesn’t work the following year. Can’t wait for Ishbia to take care of the fan base. What an embarrassment. I missed half of Mark Buehrle’s speech during is statue unveiling because the same Progressive commercial cut it off 3 times just playing whenever it wanted to. I envy the teams that do things the right way. We simply do not. Thanks Jerry.

You could imagine a world where you didn’t pay $30 a month for watching three of the worst franchises in sports. But that is not our world. What I do wish, however, is that the people who are making me pay for this privilege would spend more than 5 minutes having a fifth grader design the app. The interface is hideous. Everything takes multiple unnecessary steps. You are logged off the app at random. Games appear and disappear and freeze literally all the time. I am on a gig connection and no other streamer has these issues. And then there is just the fact that the interface is hideous. Truly hideous. Like an old AOL screen from the 1980s. Do better. Oh, and could you maybe include some basic stats along with the games, like literally every other regional sports streamer I’ve seen? This is an embarrassment.

This app is solid and I’m able to watch the Blackhawks consistently. Biggest issue I have is the volume levels are WILD. The gameplay volumes are so soft I have to jack up the volume to hear what’s going on…then when there’s a commercial the commercials are BLARING loud and it’s so annoying. When you try to skip back it spazzes out and buffers only to load a commercial. Then trying to go back to “live” it doesn’t work so the button is useless at this point. Also at random times the app decides to skip back to something earlier in the game and the only way to fix it is to exit the app and launch it again. If these issues are fixed this would be a 5-star app!
