• iPad bug

  by Bradywatts66

  Overall good app but there is a bug on my ipad 4th gen where the first time I got the app I signed in with my tv account and it worked fine. Now it asks me to select a provider again, but when I do, no login information comes up or anything. Occasionally I will have to wait for a minute or two and the game will start playing, but it usually does not. PLEASE FIX! Also, the games should be full screen. Thanks!

• Awesome TV on the go

  Goooooood!!

• ESPN!!

  by Boomer272727000777771985

  Its an APP!!!!

• Ok at best, make this better

  by Driggs50

  While loading the top games it never fails to put an ad in the wrong place. Also in game cast for basketball games, why is the live feed at the bottom and the shot map at the top? This is separated by the individual stats and doesn't make sense if you are trying to follow the game.

• New Version Stinks

  by Caljobsource

  The new version stinks because you can't double click and have it fill the screen. Now I have black bars on top and bottom which wastes all the space. I will have to stop using this app.

• Watch espn

  by 1kjg

  App is great but locks up all the time and crashes and I constantly have to delete it from my iPad and put it back in.

• Good ideas, poor execution

  by Geevz

  Very slow lags in table view. Maybe the worst. Strange resorting of lists causes confusion. Just. Simplify. Please.

• Awful

  by Whit is a dit

  I think that this is a awful app

• FIX THE BUGS!!!

  by NEAnnCo

  It takes forever to load a game after you click one of them. Even though I have checked the 'Remember User' box, it is now asking me to type in my email and password again, which I enter CORRECTLY, and it's not letting me watch anything. When you do get a game, the video buffers and the picture isn't clear at all; so I'm forced to close the app and start over--but then I run into the second issue above. This app used to be good; but now you spend more time trying to watch your game, by the time you get it working the game's over!

• Love this app!

  by Andice1

  Can keep up with games no matter where I am. Have used at wedding receptions, other games I'm attending and at showers. Tried to use at church once - found out that even with my phone silenced - the sound comes on with the TV coverage. Oops!!!

• Amazing

  by Lookinginview

  This app is incredible

• Great App!

  by Meeko525

  The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it lacks enough rugby union and Scottish Football.

• It does what it needs to

  by Dadebator

  Easy layout, good app

• Great App

  by smithgks

  As long as you have reliable broadband this app is able to stream games effortlessly including many events that would otherwise not be on TV.

• Best app for sports!

  by Paagal333

  The best part is they have live Cricket too.

• Horrible app

  by nemaap

  A very much hopeless app. I can use espn3 on my laptop with frontier communication but this app doesnt let me watch. Frontier doesnt even show up in the list of providers. Waste of time! Useless.

• Have Comcast & Still Have Blacked Out Games???

  by OleMissReb1

  It took a year for my Comcast password even to be recognized by the App. Now that it does, my favorite teams are blocked out. I can Peony State play Possumneck U, but I can't watch SEC teams. Ridiculous!!!

• Great app

  by MusicFan70s

  Works better than I had expected, events appear sooner than on my TV

• Super App!!!

  What a great app!! Works flawlessly and streams to my TV via Apple TV beautifully.

  by DR Hog

  This app is what every sports lover wants. Keep improving but some of past version options need to be restored.

• Excellent app

  by Bring on the girls

  Enjoyed using this app made the plane flight very enjoyable.

• Watch what?

  by Aviator Mark

  I've downloaded this app a few times thinking it was something I was doing or the app was going to get better or easier to use. I'd like to watch my favorite teams when not at my computer but this app requires a cable provider it seems--I have Verizon which is listed as an option yet it still doesn't allow me to use the app. Perhaps the Verizon store can help but only if I'm in there which I never am. I'd expect easier usage.

• Has potential if you have a cable subscription.

  by Luke1983ki

  This would be a great app if you already have a cable package. But without one you are limited to ESPN3 only. Then when there is a local game, it's blacked out and not allowed to be viewed. It may just be that Cox Communications is just that stingy of Internet and cable providers. I've got an idea. Since ESPN is partnered with Disney they could cut out the middle man easily and offer a subscription and not have to deal with this crap.

• Not for DirecTV

  by Jr traveler

  Worthless for DirecTV subscribers.

• Love watching Cricket live in HD

  by Sahithya

  Thanks

• Awesome. Simple awesome.

  by JoshuaCarr

  'Nuff said.

• Bugs

  by Prman82

  Cuts out and have to reinstall at times.

• Love it

  by Skeeterdefense

  Great app

• Old one was better

  by Hawkeye!

  The speed is not fast. Hard to load anything. The old one was better, and all this app did was change the design, slow it down, and include more ads.

• Just awesome!

  by Morpheeus007

  Well this is about the coolest app ever if you're a diehard sports fan! It's especially nice for me with shows like SportsCenter which I tend to watch late at night. Now I can watch on my iPad and let the wife sleep comfortably without having to watch it on our bedroom tv. Bliss!

• Good when useable

  by WoWpally

  Requires my Verizon ID quite frequently which I don't have memorized so I can never watch it when I actually need to use the app. It's great when it's functional though!

• Contact new networks.

  by Danny_024

  Please add new networks. Would like to watch live auto racing. It at all possible add Astound Broadband.

• Fast streaming

  Great for watching my alma mater

  by Jdale1020

  I've only used it a few times but so far the app works better than trying to watch on my laptop.

• Optimum doesn't work

  by Ozzy0180

• Worthless

  by Sdoaned

  Would give zero stars if I could. Does not work at all.

• Glitchy

  by Tuckshop2006

  When it works, it's an excellent service, however, there are often login problems/account recognition bugs that can get very annoying.

• Awesome!!!!

  by Tomygunz

  Thank You ESPN

• Get that fixed!!

  by Oursmallhours

  It can be a good app. But I shouldn't have to verify my account every day!!! Get that fixed!! Amateurs! The people who made this app at amateurs!! I hope you are looking at this creators!

• Easy Enough

  by 1Cor 15:19

  It's a handy APP for staying with the game while being away from home.

• Outstanding

  by J Swaggy P

  The title I put on this review pretty much explains everything. I'm very impressed and pleased with the WatchESPN app. A must download for a sports watcher.

  But I see room for improvement, would be nice if I could watch this app from Chromecast!

• Awesome

  by JR-Gator

  Great app

• Like having your TV in your pocket.

  by NickLurby

  Great app

• Awesome content, not so stable

  by Eric Sieger

  New version seems prone to crashes. I do like the ability to toggle scores on/off along the bottom. Do wish it had a replay function where you could watch the previous 10-15 seconds.

• I wouldn't give it one star

  by But I have to

  This app doesn't let you watch a game! Ugh!

• Stupid!

  by Adb 268

  If it doesn't support dish network or Directv, then it's freaking useless to me!

• Okay

  by 12_chase_12

  I got it to watch every ESPN channel. But it turns out you can't.

• Ehhh wish It was better

  by fireboltacic99

  Considering this is one of the most widely used apps in the store I'd think it would be better made. The interface is really glitchy, especially when loading a game score during the game. Also it's fairly difficult to see old game scores or navigate past the "my team" section.

• Need to check the App ou

  by Regrant2000

  I am not sure right now.

• Great App

  by Mikey Kranium

  This is a great application and it enjoy watching my cricket matches from where and I keep updated with all t20 big games!

  Awesome app. I do not miss events when the wife drags me to the mall.

• Incomplete

  by xxx999x

  Should be able to eliminate channels & sports I have no interest in - i.e. Soccer & ESPN D Portes

• Great app!!!!

  by Instance Variable

  This app comes in handy when you don't have access to a TV that gets ESPN. I use it when I'm traveling or when the wife and daughter have taken over the TV. Lol!!! Great, crystal clear reception when the bandwidth is abundant. Kinda, pixelated in bad bandwidth situations. Sometimes there's sync problems with audio/video.
