ESPN: Live Sports & Scores 4+

Blah

This used to be my favorite app throughout the year. Because I could check game highlights and even watch the game if I were working and was away from a TV. I used to watch the videos showing different highlights but now if I pick one video about a certain football team the next video will be about some random COMPLETELY off topic vids like nascar or gold. Also the app won’t let you stop the next AD video from playing! So when that AD video stops playing then you find the next on topic video you want to watch then you have to watch another AD video!!
On top of that the video quality for the first 5-10 seconds is horrible!! No matter if you pause it for a moment and restart the video from the beginning it’ll still be horrible video quality. So you spend 30-45 seconds watching one AD video then another 30-45 seconds to watch another AD video just to watch a video that’s looks like it was recorded with an old flip phone camera! I don’t know what happened but I sure do wish you all would undo it!!

Good app, disappointing Team USA coverage

Love the app and use it at least a few times a week to read headlines and stories, check scores, etc. Have to say the coverage, placement of said coverage in the “scrolling” hierarchy, and app functionality around men’s USA Olympic basketball is very disappointing. Unlike any other team I’ve ever noticed on the app, you can’t click the team icon and be taken to a subsection on the team (recent results, future schedule, etc). I’ll give that a pass, short window for the Olympics and developers might not have considered that small detail/functionality. Placement of team headlines is almost at the bottom from a scrolling perspective. I’m a football guy so I understand it being below NFL and CFB - they dominate mainstream sports in the US and the network has deals with both, I believe. However, it’s also below a section on sports betting, a 5 day old gimmicky stand alone article on sports betting, Premier Lacrosse League (that’s a thing?), LLWS, Women’s Olympic golf, Women’s Olympic Soccer, general Olympics, and a random add about fitness regimens for men’s age ranges. It’s so far down, I almost gave up and thought I’d have to search Team USA to find anything if they covered it at all. Some coverage is there, but buried with lacking app functionality and that was disappointing.

Wish i had more hands. At least 4 thumbs down

If you love ads and miss regular cable commercials this is the app for you. ESPN is the world wide leader in sports no question so i find myself using the app out of habit but not by choice. I would delete but i pay ESPN+ for soccer matches. Most apps start free, then they up sell you by telling you hey pay and we get rid of or minimize ads. Not ESPN. You got ads, commercials, and content trying to run at the same time causing the app to, in simple terms, not work. Sad to say but i think the only thing that really works flawlessly in this app is the running of the ads however they can only seem to figure out how to run THE SAME ad over and over again. At least cable tv switches up the commercials and u might run into something you might actually want. Espn runs the same ad before anything and everything you click there is no escaping it. I’d go as far as to say the ads work better than most of the videos they post of the actual content you are looking for. Tap in for a highlight you will get a flawlessly run ad followed by a barely functional video of the content you want. And if u miss that video and try to replay guess what, ANOTHER AD, the same ad, the same exact one u just watched. Insanity. I doubt anyone at ESPN cares they are suffering from success at the highest level. However when a formidable opponent comes along they will be in big trouble.
