Love It BUT…
The update that was just released, 1.0.26, has broken filtering. You can’t click on any of the plus signs when trying to filter your sports.

It was quickly fixed! Thank you!
The 17.4 iOS update broke the app. Nothing works. When choosing a game, you get the spinning circle. Bad timing with tournament season here!
Edit…I’m revising my review below. This is an amazing app if you love college sports. That being said, the broadcasts often have continuous skips, making it impossible to listen to. Last weekend almost every replay was not the replay indicated and they were almost all just broadcast of the radio station broadcast sometime during the day. The Illinois broadcast was the Illinois State broadcast, and it was only 34 minutes long. I don’t understand why you haven’t fixed this. I’m forced to delete this app due to the poor quality and the lack of updates and fixes. I love this app where everything is gathered into an easy format to find just about any team out there. As others have noted, there are dropouts here and there. Another issue is the notification times are off by one hour. If my team is playing at 5, for some reason the notification comes at 4. Other than that I am loving it. This app is a perfect example of what apps were born to do.

App has Some hang ups
I often listen to my team’s broadcast over the ESPN guys. I often find myself having to reload the app and getting stuck on the black advertisement screen. I wondered if I could just go to the Varsity website to work around these issues. The website is quicker and more reliable than the app while still allowing me to listen to the broadcast for free. If you struggle with the app I would suggest checking out the website.

Response from developer
Hi, Sorry for the unpleasant experience you had with our app. We request you to upgrade the app to the latest version and write to us at varsitynetwork@learfield.com if you still face any issue.
Please fix the Pause button!!!
I can’t use the app for the primary purpose any longer! I use the app to listen to my team feed, synched up to the TV feed.
The pause button no longer pauses the feed, it basically just mutes the live stream. When you start it back, it doesn’t pick back up where it was paused, but rather in current live feed.
Please fix this functionality back to how it used to work (correctly!).

What happened???
I used this app during football and basketball season to sync broadcasts with TV and it was money. I tried to last night for baseball and it was garbage. What changed? Syncing was impossible using pause within the app. When pause would work the audio was distorted and awful. Something had changed in the app over since Mid March. Change it back.

App hardly ever works
Almost every time I try to listen to a game, or podcast, it freezes on the “Advertisement” screen. And I’ll close the app and reopen it, still doesn’t work. Delete the app, and re-download it, still doesn’t work. But then I’ll use it a week later, and it’ll work fine, the ad plays, and it works. The inconsistency is the worst thing about it.

Carplay works! Quick tap works as well!
Vehicles with Carplay can stream game audio but if listening at home or on phone at work it gets stuck on advertisment. Update 3-19. Upon clicking on audio quickly tap screen upon transfer and the audio advertisement played then it worked not on carplay! Unbelievable, I knew there was a way for it to work when not just carplay. March Madness!

Waste of time
This app is a waste of time. I thought this would be a great option to listen to my teams games considering I’m halfway across the country from their broadcast area, but the app simply doesn’t work and was a waste of my time. Every time I try to listen to anything, it takes me to a blank, gray screen that simply says advertisement at the top and that’s it. No audio, no nothing. I’d give this zero stars if that were an option.

Great app, lacks responsive support
This is a great app, one that fans living outside the radio broadcast networks for their favorite teams will cheer for. Crystal clear sound from livestreaming coverage of your college team will beat scratchy AM radio every time.
That being said, the good folks at Learfield do NOT respond to the support inbox, even to acknowledge an issue.
Case in point: I’ve reported more than once that while adding my school to the “Following” option adds them to “My Feed” on my phone, it doesn’t add my school to “My Feed” on the Apple CarPlay version of the app. It does so for other schools, but not for mine. It’d be nice if Learfield would at least let me know they’re aware of the issue.
Otherwise, this app rocks. Address the responsiveness issue and you’ll get 5 stars!
