Premier Sports Player 4+

Crashing since a day

Hi, last time was sunday when i watched a match casted to the tv no issues at all. Never had any issues before but today if i click on a channel the app just crashes landing me on my homescreen.

Update: figured out, app crashes on mobile network, working fine on wifi. I think it might have to do something with the update. Phone settings all okay, was working fine before.

Update: everything works fine with the new update. Thank you

Badly made app with no care taken

This app has all the signs that very little care has been taken over its development. To start, on an iPad, you launch the app and the logo appears in landscape mode. Then, the log in screen appears in portrait mode, the menu following a successful log in also appears in portrait mode, but the content is in landscape. And the landscape orientation of the content seems to default such that if you’re using an iPad with a case, it’s upside down. Cue vigorously rotating it to get it the right way up. You could argue that this is something to do with the orientation APIs offered as part of iOS/iPadOS, but I watch 100s of hours of video content on my iPad and this is the only app that behaves this way.

But it gets worse. Having done the dance to get the content to play in the correct orientation, and the right way up, it streams for maybe a few minutes before the app just crashes. So that whole ordeal, of getting the right content to play in the correct orientation the correct way up has to be redone, like some tortuous tribute to Groundhog Day.

I’m writing this sideways because, lo and behold, it doesn’t seem to recognise that the iPad I’m using is on its side, docked to the keyboard - what must be an incredibly common use case. It’s been this way since the app launched over. A year ago. I’m just grateful the exclusive rugby right Premier used to enjoy have been lost so I don’t have to suffer this app anymore and can cancel my subscription.

Put off by bad reviews

I would really love to watch rangers v celtic in the scottish cup but im actually really put off by the abundance of bad reviews,i cant find 1 credible positive review whatsoever its all 1 star and its all the the same issue,usually i just find out for myself if the app is good or not but when EVERYONE says the same thing and rates this app 1 star it makes me put my bank card back in my wallet and not bother subscribing to this service,who even are premier sports anyway,why are good honest football fans getting punished and deprived of a quality service to watch football because some trash irish company won the rights to show these games but they cant design a functional working app,ive got bt sport,ive got sky sports they run smooth but yet this company are incompetent in this field,also this seems to being going on for a long time,another strange thing is the app hasnt been updated in 9 months that alone raises red flags,apps need updates all the time but its clear that premier sports have given up on this a long time ago,you wont get my money im afraid ,i will just go without watching it until a reputable company gets the tv rights
