Had high hopes for this app. Very disappointed with the how it works or should I say when it works. Hope they get it figured out or will have to cancel and go back to cable. Def not worth the $70 for the season as of now.
Update to epic fail of this app. I live and reside in Las Vegas but because I’m on vacation and they use your location to verify you’re in the coverage area I can not watch the game even though I paid for the entire season. Will have to think very hard about paying for this again.
The app works pretty well. A couple of things I have noticed since signing up for the app.
1. Pausing during a live game. You can pause however at some point after you unpause it jumps to live action.
2. You only have 1 option for watching a live game. If your late I the viewer should have the option to either start at the beginning of the game or jump to live action. (ESPN+ gives you the option to start at the beginning or jump to live action.
Those are my only issues with the app otherwise for the price it works well.
The small print may tell you that you only 60-something games but when you’re watching the game the announcer and they are promoting the app, they state very clearly that you get access to EVERY GAME. That is clearly a lie and should be considered breach of contract. Scripps also lies when they say you can watch the games on channel 34 it they don’t tell you it’s only available through cable or dish. My antennae for local channels skips right over channel 34. They can have these caveats, but a little honestly would be nice.
Finally the REAL hockey fans of Las Vegas get the opportunity to see OUR BOYS play! I’m a Native and have followed the hockey fever flourish here in the Valley! My son played in the local league when there were only TWO teams. Now my Grandson plays and we have to decide which league and how many teams to play for. Amazing! The VGK have given this Valley TEAM SPIRIT! Now we have a Platform! Thank You
The app is great, but it does have its flaws. The biggest flaw is the game sometimes freezes. That may be due to my internet. So, that’s not the flaw. The flaw is since it freezes, it doesn’t save the spot where it froze. If I don’t look at the time where it froze, I wouldn’t know exactly where I left off. When I restart it, I have to start from the beginning. Is it possible to integrate this?
Games load quickly and the video quality is excellent. However, I cancelled my trial subscription at the end of preseason due to a major technical issue. While you’re able to pause a live game, resuming simply jumps straight to live - losing where you were when you initially paused. This then requires manually scrubbing back through the game to find where you left off (while also trying to avoid catching a glimpse of the scoreboard that could spoil what happened since you paused).
I understand the app & service are both new, so some bugs are understandable. I’ll definitely give it a shot once (if) I hear from others that the problem is resolved. Until then it’s hard to recommend, especially if you plan on pausing a game.
The app is trash. You can only be logged into 1 device at a time, not just watch on one device at a time, but signed in on one device even if your device you’re signed in on is turned off. If you don’t sign out of the app at home you can’t watch on your mobile device when away. If you want to switch the tv you’re watching on, you have to sign out the app on one tv and sign in on another tv at the same location. You’re better off buying a couple HD antennas or using the free streaming services out there.
It had a couple issues at the beginning of the very first preseason game, but then it worked itself right out after 5 mins or so and hasn’t been an issue since!! Thanks Bill for saying “screw it” to the nightmare that is watching sports nowadays and giving us locals this app!!
This app is complete garbage. I have it installed on my iPhone, IPad Pro, and Apple TV and not a single one works properly. It will not even load replays on either my iPhone or iPad. The only way to watch them are on my Apple TV. The Apple TV app will not let you fast forward (it just jumps to the end of the game if you try). Can’t FF through commercials either! $70 to watch commercials! That’s just stupid. Seems like they rushed this one and have failed miserably. I have cancelled my subscription. I can watch the games live on TV for free. What a shame.
The stream itself looked like 720p even though I set it to 1080p. I had a weird thing that when the stream froze, it wouldn’t restart. I would exit out of the stream and enter back into the stream now I had pip with two streams, the big one frozen, the little one playing. Sound was fine. After the game the post game kept stopping and freezing and stuttering. All videos that were not live played fine. Haven’t tried on demand replay yet.
