It’s bad enough we are forced to watch through the app as the network gets dropped off streaming services, but this is a paid access app, stop putting ads that take up 1/4 the screen during games. The “x” to close the ad is 2-3 pixels and impossible to close the ad without opening it, which takes you out of the app, and when you go back to view the full screen freezes! I also don’t give two cents about the stats, polls, settings, etc on the screen, remove it and make the video play full screen.

Terrible experience. I don’t even like Washington sports, but I can’t watch the teams I support without a monumental+ subscription. I paid 20 dollars to watch tonight’s game, which isn’t even happening in the DMV. The emails to confirm my account came so slowly and never worked, so I couldn’t log in on my TV. AirPlay wouldn’t work either. I missed most of the first period trying to get it to work, and the only option is the DMV coverage when I really want the commentators for the other team. The TV app also has a horrible interface—tons of missing text, so it’s hard to figure out account stuff. It’s been less than an hour since I subscribed and I’ve already cancelled. I think I would feel less regret about walking into traffic.

The worst streaming app. You can’t watch games delayed. If you pause, fast forward, then resume play, it will restart you back to the beginning of the program. It’s not Monumental’s fault entirely. You get the score of a game in progress as soon as you launch the app. ViewLift, the platform developer, sold an incomplete product to several teams in need of a regional sports network. If you’re watching live, it’s still a mess. They have so few advertisers and inventory that you’ll see the same ads repeatedly and in the same break. Save yourself the grief and spend a little more for a DirecTV Stream, Verizon FiOS, or Xfinity subscription this season. The tech support team is awesome and very responsive. They know it’s rough, but they’re not the product team.

This gets one star only for the fact that occasionally I get to watch a game all the way through without a glitch. Sometimes the app will quit in the middle of watching a game, the 10sec skip ahead/behind function is unpredictable and will often result in a multi-minute jump ahead if you’re trying to catch up to live. Casting to TV/chromecast is a joke; the connection is never stable, and if it is, the picture/audio jump every few seconds. Priced at $20/month, I would not say this app is at all worth the money unless they make some big improvements that allow you to do the thing the app was built for: stream local sports. Fix the bugs, invest in the product, and create something fans can actually enjoy.
