WNBA: Live Games & Scores 4+

As a long time NBA fan far too late turned onto the awesomeness of the W I have to say this app does the Women a disservice by being far below the basic functionality we can expect from a sports app in 2022.

While the basic functionality to present games is fine, the main reason to watch the games in an app rather than on TV is if you can’t see the games in real time, and the main job of the app is to allow you to get home from work and log on to watch the game without spoilers. The NBA app has a setting that allows you to hide scores and overall does a good job allowing you to watch a game that has already happened without knowing who won.

Tonight for example, in a crucial game 5 winner take all semi between the Sky and the Sun, I dutifully quit the app and try and navigate back to the Archive without seeing spoilers on the front page. The game doesn’t show up there, only game 4! But then when I go to the front page to watch I get upcoming content from the winner, and a link to the game that does exist in the app, just not where it should be. This isn’t rocket science.

Also, when you try and watch the well edited condensed games / extended highlights, the font is too small to read and so on the iPad you have to click on an icon to find out what it is.

Please either license the NBA app for parity or invest in an interface designer the games deserve better!

We are sorry you're having issues with the app. We are working vigilantly to make our app as user friendly as possible. We value your support as we work to achieve that goal. Thanks, WNBA Support

Love the WNBA and keen for the 2022 season. Latest app update is a disappointment though. It just boots almost everything (scores, schedule, stats, standings) to a web wrapper, complete with cookie requests and pop-ups. No info in app. If you’re going to do that, just move me to a browser.

Thank you for your feedback on the app update. We appreciate your comments and will relay them back to the product team. We have a lot of enhancements planned throughout the season to improve the app. Thanks, WNBA Product Team

Last year during playoffs I was so stoked to use the app for all my steaming but this year it’s a whole other story. Firstly, not being able to hide the scores surely is UX 101 for a sports app. My app keeps crashing. The landing page is so confusing it took me about 10 goes to find out where to even watch the last game. When I click through to some pages I land in a page within a page which then crashes and I end up back at the homepage again. It was impossible to figure out that my league pass has expired, and then when I did figure that out it was so hard to resubscribe on the app I ended up just doing it on my computer. There are just so many problems with this app, it’s poorly made, seemingly without any specific UX considerations about who the user is and what they need. Hire proper designers not just some off the shelf product that you’ve hacked. I would have given up but for my love of the WNBA. Do better.

We are sorry you're having issues with the app. We will pass this info along to alleviate these problems in the future. We appreciate your continued support of the WNBA. Thanks, WNBA Support
