FloSports: Watch Live Sports Ratings and Reviews

Spoilers for replays

This is generally fine in terms of streaming, but it would be nice to be able to split the screen on an iPad so you can multitask while streaming. The big problem with this app is the spoilers in the replay names. It’s very difficult to find the reply you want without seeing a headline that spoils the results of the replay you are looking for. Specifically for bike racing. Current example is the 2024 Vuelta coverage. If you click on vuelta it brings you right into a spoiler and auto plays the highlight. If you search through thumbnails for the full replay you will probably see a different thumbnail that spoils the replay. If you wait long enough you can possibly avoid a spoiler when the full replay comes up as a large thumbnail with no spoiler in it. Please correct this. You charge more than other apps and spoiling the replays is unacceptable and the reason for 2 stars.

ADS on PAID app!?! So many ads during gameplay :(

I subscribed to FloSports so I could watch my child’s college games but instead I’m watching 1-3 ads every 3 minutes. Unbelievable! I’ve missed gameplay because of ADS on a PAID app?
The scoreboard on the app stinks, too. So far the score has been posted incorrectly multiple times throughout the game, no indication of balls and strikes and the inning count lags behind what is actually happening on the field. Because there is only one camera behind home plate it is impossible to see the actual scoreboard on the field or the foul posts on the sides.
All in all a disappointment. FloSports should be ashamed but they have a captive audience so why should they care, right? They could provide better scorekeeping, keep ads to the beginning or end of the broadcast (or totally do away with them on their paid app) so as not to interfere with gameplay. But they don’t. I was excited to be able to watch the games when I couldn’t make it to the field but now I’m just frustrated and wishing I hadn’t given them a single dime.
I don’t believe they care about sports. They do care about taking your money and screw you if you don’t like their poor service.

App acts like it needs an update, but never does

Let me preface this by saying, I’ve written 1 review in the almost 15 years I’ve used the App Store. It also needs to be said that I love FloSports as a company, even more so with the way they support Dirt Track racing. This is a review on the app however , not of Flo in general. I got so tired of the buffering, and resetting the app as well as my phone, that I turned off my High-Limit stream to finally make this review.

I thought DirtVision was bad, but every single race I try to stream has technical difficulties. Buffers for way more time than the video plays live, which results in huge portions of missed content. It doesn’t matter if I’m using WiFi or my unlimited high-speed data (At&T). They do a good job with replays, but I paid $160+ to watch the event live; not waiting for it to load even the event has ended.

If they could fix the never-ending buffering, it would instantly be a 3.5-4.5 star review. The only reason I even gave it 2 stars, is because I like Flo & they support Sprint Car racing in an amazing way. Fix dat app doe!

Ok… but glitchy. Pay service with commercials

The USHL dropped hockey tv in favor of FloSports. This is an improvement as tge streams do appear to be more stable however there appear to be problems with dropped frames that make the service frustrating to use.

As you watch a game you see and hear glitches lasting a fraction of a second to several seconds. In a chat dialogue with the service they blamed tge arena internet service for this. When I pressed them for details so I could check for accuracy tge chat session was disconnected. Needless to say I do not believe the explanation.

Instead I believe FloSports has a capacity problem that could be solved with increased buffering. To their credit they appear to be trying to keep tge stream close to live, rather than producing the lags and outages of their predecessors.

So I think it winds up being with the discounted price offered at tge front of the season. It is, however not worth the full price.

Perhaps the service will improve. If this happens I will revise my review accordingly.

One final point: you have no reason to interrupt the game with your own commercials. I’ve paid for tge service… and would pay more for flawless streaming with no commercials. Do better.

FloSports, I’ll be watching…. For now.

Awful

In my opinion, from my personal experience, this is an absolute waste of money with no legitimate customer support available. I purchased a full season to watch the AHL Bpt Islanders and gladly paid $159 in September for the convenience to watch home and away games when I am not able to attend as a season ticket holder. Sadly, it is one error after another from multiple venues. After submitting a service ticket with back and forth replies, FloSports just dodged, deflected, and denied any accountability or ability to improve their service and declared almost immediately no refunds or credits: great business model. Just about a week ago I received an email to a survey as to why I set my account to not renew for next season. The absurdity shows just how out of touch the company is. If, and this is a very big if, this app delivered the access to the vast sports coverage it purports to then it would be great. But, it does not. Save your money!

Overpriced, Error-Ridden, and Plagued by Ads – The Only Option for Sports Streaming

Prepare to be disappointed. FloSports has a monopoly on poor-performing sports streaming, and unfortunately, there’s no other choice. You’ll need to shell out for an overpriced monthly subscription, but the frustration doesn’t stop there. After paying, expect bad connectivity. I tried watching a performance and encountered multiple errors—four times during one show alone. They suggest downloading the TV app for a ‘better experience,’ but it feels like they’re just chasing download numbers. And guess what? Once you download the TV app, they direct you to download the mobile app too. Despite all this, the streaming errors persist. On top of it all, even though you’ve paid the inflated subscription fee, you’ll still be bombarded with loud, intrusive ads between segments. FloSports might control the events, but this service is far from great.

Marching Arts - Great if live; replays have no audio

If you are planning to watch a live, streaming performance, this app gives good flexibility to do so with high cam or multi-view perspectives and screen-sharing opportunities.

However, if you want to watch a replay, be prepared for visual with no audio due to copyright. In this particular entertainment space you cannot make that kind of trade-off; the two go hand-in-hand. This is not like watching another sport that can be viewed without audio.

The copyright issue surrounding marching arts audio needs to be made clear to people before they subscribe to your service. And, the copyright issue needs to be resolved ASAP. The only reason why I subscribed to this service was so that I could view corps replays WITH audio. This is a waste of $ for me at this point. I will be canceling my subscription.

Really bad

I signed up for FloSports specifically to watch bike racing. Went for the yearly option due to the absolutely ridiculous monthly subscription fee. Anyway within hours I realized it’s not going to for us the way I wanted it to. Shut it down and requested a refund to which they told me that because we viewed a couple of hours of pro coverage I didn’t qualify for my money back. Several emails back and forth with them and after having cancelled the renewal in the app, I dispute the transaction with my cc company. Ultimately the cc company sided with them based on terms of service so now I am resigned to just use the app for the year and not renew only to find that they have inactivated my account with no refund or alerts to me. They have my money. I have no bike racing. Sent them a email asking for resolution on this several weeks ago and have seen no response. Pretty disappointing…

Terrible coverage for the price

For $30 advertised as “PRO” access, basic features should be available. For example, we purchase so that we can watch softball. So the score and inning should be updated and accurate. This is almost NEVER the case. We have to keep the stats ourselves. During almost every broadcast there are technical issues and we lose some of the broadcast. When this happens, we cannot rewind back a few minutes to view what we missed. We just miss it. 3 years ago we couldn’t go to florida to watch our daughter play in person and FloSoftball was the only way to watch. We experienced all the issues I described and it was so frustrating. Our daughter graduated last year. So this year we purchased it and are watching and I am really disgusted to say that the only thing that’s changed is my daughter isn’t on the field. Very disappointed.

Horrible organization and streaming

I was forced into getting a subscription to this app when Motocross moved mid season from MAVTV to Flo Racing. This may be the only app in history that is harder to find specific content on than RedBull TV. Holy crap. If you type motocross in the search box nothing comes up. You have to go to racing, events, replays and then scroll backwards through a few weeks worth of hillbilly racing to get to the last round of motocross. Then when you play it on a 1GB Wi-Fi connection that streams all day every day on every other service known to man…..it freezes. The only way to get it to work again it to force quit and start again. What a steaming pile of …. I’m not even going to watch the last two rounds of the motocross outdoor season as this app is so horrible I can’t bring myself to send them another month of fees.
