It’s listening to all the spectators *2026-05-23* Actually not quite impressed with watching the game on TV being that when they record it they’re not watching where they recorded. That’s all you hear is the people in the background and it’s not like you get the full screen of the game and things like that to pay $20 each month. It’s not worth this subscription. **Developer response:** Hello. Based on the competitions we cover, not every game has commentary - this is true and we make this very clear on our platforms. We are not sure what you mean by "not like you get the full screen of the game" - the app has full screen capability as well as full casting to TV devices. ### 3/5 — Not all games are streamed. *2026-04-18* Check before you pay a subscription to watch a live game. Some games only have score update with no sound or video. **Developer response:** Hello. This is actually incorrect - every game on the platform is live-streamed (barring any unexpected technical difficulties at the ground). We are not sure what you mean here. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2025-09-07* Does not let me login on app even though login details are correct, very frustrating because I just bought a subscription for it to work on the tv! **Developer response:** Hello. Login details can always be fixed - please email contact@bartvsports.com.au with some more information and we will get you connected immediately. ### 5/5 — Great work *2025-06-16, version 1.27* Hi guys, enjoying what you are doing and enjoying the commentary at the NSWRL. Can we have an annual payment, the ability to have Picture in Picture (PIP), and an Apple TV version? Bears are back!! ### 1/5 — Worse than NSWRL TV app was *2025-05-30* The NSWRL TV app was formatted terribly, which made it very hard to find your games of choice, but at least the streams worked..BarTV Sports is twice the price and works half as much. It is slightly easier to find the games I want to watch but the first (maybe) month of footy games would cut out, consistently every 10 or so minutes. Seem to have fixed that, but try and do anything with your phone while casting to a tv and it glitches the stream. Icing on top, live stream not working at all to catch a Friday night Reggie’s game. ### 1/5 — Great for spoilers, no Apple TV app *2025-04-13* First, surely this is a good candidate for an Apple TV native app. AirPlay from phone is dodgy. Secondly, really disappointing to try to start watching a match from the beginning and have it jump to the “live” 70th minute stream. Bring back nrltv ### 2/5 — Has potential but extremely unstable *2025-02-22* Rarely get to watch a full game without it cutting out. **Developer response:** Hello RezOne - sorry about our slow reply. This issue has now been fixed in subsequent releases. Thanks for helping us #growthegame. ### 2/5 — Streaming issues *2025-02-21* When streaming from my iPhone 16 pro to my Samsung TV the stream keeps disconnecting after about 8mins My wifi connection is great and I don’t have any other streaming issues on other apps ..this lastest app version didn’t fix the issue either **Developer response:** Hello ruc - sorry about our slow reply. This issue has now been fixed in subsequent releases. Streams should no longer disconnect. Thanks for helping us #growthegame. ### 2/5 — Good idea just bad execution *2025-02-15* App makes my whole iPhone spazz out. It freezes my phone then turns off completely for 10 seconds **Developer response:** Hello Tom - sorry about our slow reply. This issue has now been fixed in subsequent releases with significant performance boosts. Streams should no longer freeze. ### 1/5 — Interrupted streaming *2025-02-08* Streaming cuts out when watching on iPhone or air playing to television. Frustrating to watch. Cant get through a full game without the playback disconnecting and the game starting again. NSWRL, please use a different streaming platform. **Developer response:** Hello Hikersgirls - sorry about our slow reply. This issue has now been fixed in later versions/releases. ## Frequently asked questions about BarTV Sports ### What sports can I watch on BarTV Sports?
