MLS: Live Soccer Scores & News 17+

There is a bug where tickets put up for sale in Ticketmaster through the D.C. United Application sometimes aren’t able to be recalled back to the application without customer support. This hinders two processes: 1) Those that want to recall their tickets and attend the game(s). 2) The process of selling the tickets back to the D.C. application from Ticketmaster so they can be resold to other D.C. United attendees, which is bad both for D.C. United (through lost business from those that would attend and who may spend money at the stadium) and the customers (supporters) who bought the original tickets lose their money. In short, the link between DC United to Ticketmaster works, however Ticketmaster back into the D.C. United app has bugs receiving either the unsold or wanted tickets. Fixing this bug would make the D.C. United App more functional, which is good for the D.C. United in economic efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction. Regardless, I rate the app 5 stars for going above and beyond the needs of creating such an application with limited time. Thank you. -A longtime, lifetime supporter

The content is great, but the app itself has some issues. My first complaint is that the navigation is less intuitive than past designs. I’d prefer to open into a feed of headlines and then navigate to highlights or team headlines. Instead all three feeds are crammed into the home page.
My second complaint is worse although it doesn’t sound like many other people experience this: the audio doesn’t play through my phone’s speakers. Headphones or external speakers are fine. All of my other apps are fine. I’ve racked my brain trying to figure out why this app misbehaves but I can’t figure it out.
I’d give it four stars if the audio bug was fixed and the design was tweaked a bit. I’d give it five if there was some search capability on the news feed.

I have been using the app since it first came out, and I loved all of it. Information was easy to find, game lineups posted as soon as they were given (before announced in stadium). The new design is fancier and prettier but far, far less useful. Some areas are far too touch sensitive - you accidentally open stories when you just try to scroll thru - or not nearly sensitive enough. Some areas are very difficult to open at times. For design, the redesign gets an A, for utility and ease of use, a D+.

For those lamenting about blackouts, it’s the broadcast rules. The games are controlled by the broadcasters (and that includes your local affiliate) for a period (usually 48 hours). That gives them the right to replay if they want. The reason local games are blacked out is because someone has paid for the right to broadcast and they deserve to get their money’s worth. With MLS Live (I can’t speak to ESPN+ because I haven’t tried it yet) I have never found a game I couldn’t watch or rewatch after the 48 hour window, even with my local team.
