NFHS Network +4

I like the option of being able to watch stuff when I can’t travel or attendance is limited. The automated cameras are mostly reliable but can cause a bit of motion sickness when they are chasing nothing. I do wish that it either moved you to the next event on the schedule at that location. Rather than just stopping the video making it look like it is buffering. So make sure at the end of the event you are watching to back out and watch the next event so you don’t miss anything!

While browsing some of the many options I have noticed MANY hours of empty content. Dark fields, or gyms or even the occasional phys Ed class lol. The developers may want to look into these to help them free up some server space.

If you are looking for a quality streaming and viewing experience for your school sports, this is not the app for you. I don’t even know where to begin. The commercials work great! If your video suddenly stop streaming – again – and you have to leave the app and start it over to get back to your game, you have to watch another commercial. Again. If you open your “live now“ game, there is it very good chance it may be added on to the end of your school’s previous game and you will be lucky to find it by the end of the first quarter. If it is the state basketball semi final, it is likely there will be technical difficulties. The system will need rebooted and you will get to join the game at the end of the first quarter. You may get audio. You may not. You may get to watch both ends of a basketball game, or you may get to stare at end of an empty basketball court while the game continues on the other end. I could go on, but I will say that I am still grateful for this expensive, glitchy app allowing me to watch my grandsons in their athletic pursuits. I am hoping for BIG improvements in this app before the next football season begins.

P.S. Tonight, streaming the WYOMING BOYS 2A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. At the beginning of the 4th quarter, with a ONE POINT game, the streaming abruptly ended. That was all she wrote.

I am so thankful I didn’t buy the yearly subscription. I chose monthly and am now cancelling my subscription before I waste any other money. I planned to watch an important game with my elderly parents and the game never showed! It said delayed until about an hour later when they finally just didn’t even show the game available to view anymore and deleted it from the lineup. Emailed support with no response. The last game we streamed the score never updated. I didn’t expect the highest quality for this service, but I didn’t think I would be subject to missing an entire game either. I can deal with the sound being off on some games or the score not updating, and even the camera not panning correctly. Im just not prepared to continue to pay money and HOPE it airs every week with no recourse if it doesn’t. I will say that one of the games we watched was very well broadcasted to where the announcers were audible and I felt as if I was at the game. So I suppose it depends on how well each school’s A/V is set up but that wasn’t my understanding when I signed up for this service. If you’re willing to take the chance that your game airs, then it may be worth it for you.
