Time table
Zdrahar
I start to watch game from the beginning ( in real time it was 3rd quarter) with score off. On the game screen is always game time in real time so after a little time there was like OT 4.20min. That means that I already now there was overtime. Can you please please turn that watch off. I have LP over 10 years and I thank you for all your effort

Getting worse each year
JakaDJ77
I’ve been subscribed to your app for fourth year now and it’s actually my first time writing a review cause of some issues.Yes there is a lot of content, but functionality is getting worse every year. I live in a different time zone and most of the time I'm watching games on replay…. I have my hide scores ON so I don’t see results before watching. But if i have hide scores on, then I loose all the game statistics happening during the game since I cant turn them on….. Yes I could turn them on, but only if i turn off hide scores, but then I would see the final result of the game which would spoil the whole game. Please fix this !!!The thing that also makes me angry is cause i have to go thru all the buttons to see the details of the selected team… Why can’t I just pick the team from the chart and see directly their stats ? You could do this last year or 2 years ago. Now I hav to choose DISCOVER, then TEAMS , then choose my TEAM and now I can review the team I want. No shortcuts? It could be done by simple programming…. It’s not hard.OK and the last problem, which is new this season. App is always going out of full screen mode leaving one black belt at the top with logos of the 2 teams currently playing. Hiding this black belt with my finger is annoying and it doesn't help since it keeps coming back. Annoying as hell…I hope my review lands on some ground since you don’t have to make a big effort to fix this problems.
