### 3/5 — AirPlay issue

*2026-03-27, version 11.18.3*

Works fine on current version with most up to date iPhone software on iPhone 14 EXCEPT when airplaying to a tv.  Watching baseball games, it freezes up every half inning.  Does NOT do this when not airplaying to a tv.

### 1/5 — Why is this so damned aggravating?

*2026-03-21, version 11.18.3*

I really appreciate paying for something that raises my blood pressure. Every time out I have to hit the back button and then watch to resume the game.

### 1/5 — Weak

*2026-03-16, version 11.18.3*

Too often the channel drops out and has poor picture quality. I could live with the announcers being rookies and producing being weak if you could actually watch the game!! Wish I could go back to the Pac12!!!!

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-03-14, version 11.18.3*

Probably the worst streaming app I've ever had. I'm constantly having to back out of whatever I'm watching and then reconnect. It's awful.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-03-13, version 11.18.3*

Awful

### 1/5 — No Live Games

*2026-03-13, version 11.18.3*

Read the details before you subscribe. You won’t be able to watch live games being televised through this app alone. You’ll still another provider. Why pay for this app when you have to pay for another also?

### 1/5 — Takes your money

*2026-03-12, version 11.18.3*

This is bad business. Come in Big 10. You claim to be the premier conference. Get someone who can make the app work and provide the access.     “Dear subscriber. We rather take your money each month and not worry about you unable to watch the + network.”

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2026-03-04, version 11.18.3*

You think for what you pay this app will be dependable. Whenever I cast to my TV it crashes anywhere from 5-10 minutes in causing me to reload the app and continue the game only to miss what happened when it crashed. This app is terrible and I’m paying like $15 a month for it. Disgusting.

### 1/5 — Freezes constantly

*2026-03-01, version 11.18.3*

For as much as this app costs and considering the financial resources of the big ten you would think they could put something professional together. But you would be wrong.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-02-22, version 11.18.2*

This app is absolutely terrible. It buffers like crazy. The Big Ten has no right to charge money for a service this bad.

### 1/5 — Image freezes

*2026-02-21, version 11.18.2*

I can appreciate the student-lead announcers, etc… but the broadcast freezes constantly as if it’s using some student’s hotspot to broadcast with.  Rediculous to pay this price for horrible broadcast signal.

### 1/5 — Poor streaming

*2026-02-21, version 11.18.2*

Unfortunately if you want to watch Big 10 sports you have to use this, but the issues with the connection are horrible.

### 1/5 — breach of contract

*2026-02-08, version 11.18.1*

nothing but login issues with Big Ten plus and this is now a breach of contract, which is a legal issue for them

### 1/5 — Hot garbage

*2026-02-01, version 11.18.1*

Trying to watch a game is a wonderful combination of frustration and amazement.  Technically, the stream has more jitters than a squirrel drinking an entire pot of coffee.  Amazement in the fact that this app is allowed to continue charging money.  Listening to the game on the radio is a better option.

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2026-01-30, version 11.18.1*

This application sucks I have paid up subscription and I can’t login I get error message 207 missing IP ,  trying to get this up and running customer support sucks

### 1/5 — Completely Useless

*2026-01-18, version 11.18.0*

THEY should be paying ME $14.30 to use this garbage app. Crashes, won’t load, glitchy, you name it. It should be absolutely free considering how terrible big ten plus is

### 1/5 — 1 star. Only because I couldn’t give 0

*2026-01-17, version 11.18.0*

The worst video app in the history of video apps. I honestly can’t believe a power 4 conference would be ok putting their name on an app this of an app horrible. It’s even worse considering you have to pay for a subscription. If it was free I would be more ok with the terrible interface and bad video player but I PAID FOR IT and it still horrible. Truly insane they charge for it.

### 1/5 — Not getting notifications!!

*2026-08-27, version 12.0.4*

Why are you not sending out any Michigan notifications yet?? Thanks!

### 1/5 — No customer support

*2026-08-15, version 12.0.2*

Looks like I am among a lot of unsatisfied customers that subscribed to this app.  Trying to watch game replays and as soon as I click on watch.  The screen goes white but the audio continues to play.  No customer support whatsoever.  Subscription canceled.

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel once you start !

*2026-05-24, version 11.18.3*

Purchased to watch college team family member was plating in. Season is over, and after trying multiple time can’t find the screen to be able to cancel this.   Recommend you DO NOT purchase, find another way The worst, I feel very taken advantage of !

### 1/5 — The Worst!!

*2026-04-26, version 11.18.3*

This is the worst app I’ve ever used. Had to purchase it to watch my son play baseball. I’ve never been so irritated in my life. Feel so ripped off. Hard to find anything. Constantly getting kicked off. Who ever designed this app should definitely change careers. Dumpster fire. Please🙏🙏🙏🙏 fix it!!! They need to add an option to give it negative stars. Gave it 1 only because I didn’t want them to think I forgot to click on one.

### 1/5 — BBB needs to get involved

*2026-04-17, version 11.18.3*

Unfortunately, I did not read the other reviews. The app allows me to sign in and watch content, but only from a tablet or phone. It’s not available on any tv app stores from what I can tell, and if you stream to a device the ads cause the stream to stop working. Absolutely unacceptable. And there seems to be no way to contact customer service, because you’ll just be talking to a chatbot that tells you to go to an article to talk to customer service, but the article tells you to contact the chatbot. Not worth $12.99/month, not even worth $0.99/month. I wouldn’t even continue to use the service if they gave it to me for free. I would like to see the app taken down & the BBB get involved.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-04-10, version 11.18.3*

Picture quality is terrible. ESPN+ is 1000% better picture quality but 1000% more greedy

### 1/5 — Casting stops at every half inning

*2026-04-07, version 11.18.3*

Pretty painful to use. At the end of every half inning the app quits casting to the TV. The only solutions appear to be either repeatedly rewinding (5 taps on the rewind appears to do the trick) and then tapping “live after about 30 seconds) or completely closing out the app and starting over at each half inning. This didn’t happen last season.

### 1/5 — Have to reset every half inning

*2026-04-05, version 11.18.3*

Upgrade this app please

### 1/5 — Won’t let me disconnect

*2026-03-27, version 11.18.3*

Basketball season is over and I’m very upset that they won’t let me disconnect now. It looks like they won’t let me disconnect until the very last day of my subscription, which it will then spell over into another month of payment. Will not do this again.

### 1/5 — Do Not Subscribe

*2026-03-25, version 11.18.3*

For 2 years in a row now when I have subscribed from the app, I have not been able to log in or access any of the content. Both times I contacted their customer service and they never talked about fixing the issue, just kept telling me to request a refund through Apple. When I contacted Apple they informed me that the Big10 app is really broken. So genuinely do not spend your money on a subscription, you will just throw money away and still have no access to the content. They are the only Power 4 conference that makes it impossible for fans to access their content and watch games. They should really just remove this app from the app store entirely instead of stealing money from people and they should absolutely fire all the developers that are maintaining this app.

### 5/5 — Terrible

*2026-03-15, version 11.18.3*

Said my email and password was wrong when it wasn’t

### 5/5 — Does NOT Work!

*2025-11-21, version 11.17.0*

Have tried several times to subscribe, each time I sign in it tells me I don’t have any current subscriptions. iTunes shows an active subscription and the dates paid. I emailed Big Ten Plus once again this month, due to the same message. No active subscription, yet they’ve withdrawn the money from my account. Finally, an honest response, Big Ten Plus does NOT synch with ITunes. 
Why are they continuing to collect money from us? Big Ten told me I’d have to try to get my money back through Apple…I guess we’re back to passing the buck. This needs to stop!!! Remove the App from ITunes, you’ve said it does not synch, stop taking money from the fans until you can provide the service you’re advertising.

### 5/5 — Good app but needs improvements

*2024-04-30*

Decent team selection I purchased the annual membership which is good but they need to fix there connection with Roku and their apps besides that great app

### 5/5 — B1G Powerhouse 💪

*2023-08-16*

I love being able to watch non-televised Big Ten games all in one place, especially Michigan State. GO GREEN!!!

### 5/5 — GO GREEN!

*2023-01-25, version 11.8.1*

I love being able to watch Michigan State sports that aren’t on regular TV. I wish I could watch Big Ten figure skating but hopefully in the future. The documentaries are awesome too!

### 4/5 — Progress

*2026-08-03, version 12.0.0*

I’ve been watching games dating back to 2021 and it was always such a hassle to scroll through the calendar because it doesn’t allow you to skip to a specific month or year. They changed that recently and I am pretty content with the UI now. Good job dev team 👏

### 4/5 — Works, watching baseball

*2026-02-14, version 11.18.2*

I subscribed via the webpage after using a code to get 1/2 price for 3 months. Watching on the TV, phone at the same time (different games).

### 4/5 — Big 10

*2025-01-08, version 11.11.0*

I don’t like that you have to pay for the big 10+. I wish it was free.

### 4/5 — They fixed my issue so I changed my review

*2024-09-17*

Changed.

### 4/5 — Good app-Teach announcers volleyball terms/rules

*2023-09-12*

We are happy to have this option. Comments are based on Wisconsin versus Miami match. Examples: Service errors are not “aces”. Blocks are good blocks only if they are in. You can’t listen and count on the accuracy of what you’re hearing. On a positive note the video quality is much improved from last year. Addition to review: The App itself works well for us-the announcers are enthusiastic but need more experience and better understanding of rules and terms.

**Developer response:** Some events are produced by the Big Ten Network StudentU Program, which provides instruction and hands-on experience to students at the 14 Big Ten Conference institutions. An on-campus experience that is unique to the Big Ten, StudentU is part of the conference’s educational mission as we work to identify and teach the next generation of sports production professionals. That aside, we have reported this issue to the correct department. If you need more support, the B1G+ team is also available to assist you at support.bigtenplus.com.
