Not happy

Firstly I have complained before that when it comes to WTA TOURNAMENTS every match replays are just lumped together under one day or evening matches.
Example Cincinnati Day 5 or Cincinnati Evening 5
I have to scroll thru and watch replays I am not interested till I get to the last match eg. Rybakina vs French that was on recently

Unlike ATP MATCHES that are individually posted that makes it easy to select to watch replays. Eg. I can select Fritz vs Merida match. Or Jodar vs Tabilo.

When are you guys going to fix this issue?

Also transmission is erratic and keeps buffering which is a big frustration! There is no problem with my internet.

I love watching tennis so I hope these issues will be fixed.

Thank you.

App needs some work

Video Play back does not remember where you last watched up to.
If you leave the app and come back often the video is black can’t get it to work again unless you exit the video and enter again which again looses your place in the match.
No double tap to skip forward.
There are minor delays after pressing most buttons.

Would love some improvements please 🙏

Tennis

i watch a lot of tennis & i think it’s so behind the times i can’t watch individual games that i have to wait till you upload the videos & quite often technical issues, you expect better when you are paying for a service

Tennis

The matches should have names of players playing. Particularly in WTA it is missing.
Otherwise great

Bad all round

I just got part way through a competition they offered and it pushed me to this page!!

Half coverage

I’m literally so frustrated that I spent my money then it doesn’t show some matches of the tournament but shows some of that same tournament..like how can you be that bad streamer
Tennis to be specific, I just wanted to watch my player’s match but it wasn’t live but other matches of that same tournaments were available tho

Live stream App, won’t live stream

**UPDATE POST DEVELOPER RESPONSE - This is NOT an Australian subscription, it is an Indonesian subscription for streaming in Indonesia**

Purchased in Indonesia to live stream F1 (technically, the only legal way to watch it without heading to a pub), and it refuses to play. Across multiple devices and different internet connects, won’t play it. Black screen of nothing. Gets two stars because usually replays stream ok.

Updated Response: Hi RollyMcg, thank you for clarifying. Since you are using the Australian Apple App Store but also managing a beIN Indonesian account, our regional customer support team will need to assist you directly. Please reach out to them here so we can troubleshoot this for you: https://bein.watch/id-support ========================================================= Hi there, thank you for your feedback. To clarify, beIN SPORTS CONNECT Australia does not hold the broadcast rights for Formula 1. If you purchased a subscription while in Indonesia but are currently attempting to stream from Australia, the black screen you are experiencing is due to Digital Rights Management (DRM) protections. We are legally required to block VPNs and region-proxy streaming for content that we do not have the rights to broadcast in your current location. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Worst service in the world

It’s took me almost half an hour to get cancelled my subscription they made it to hard to get it…. Also the app always logs me out really disappointed

Response from developer

Hi Hayder, we have reached out to you via email in hopes to understand the painpoint in cancellation - Cancellation is supposed to be straight forward and if you are having a friction to do so we would like to understand why. Looking forward to supporting you further.

Fix the playback issues.

Crashes too much, can’t scroll to find your place anymore. Please fix these bugs ASAP or people will start cancelling their accounts

Response from developer

We would like to understand where these crashes are being seen and on which platform. Please reach out to us at: https://bein.watch/au-suppport

Awful experience

Unfortunately I have no other way to watch the Bundesliga in Australia than with Bein
It’s actually a disgrace
I rarely have a stream that runs smoothly
Problems galore on every front
Just really frustrating and disappointing every time I want to watch my team

THE WORST

The worst app ever, every day it’s stop working or freezing, can’t get back have to delete and install again and again, support is rubbish, they only tell you to delete and download again, no solution. Paid fir it unfortunately fir a year, would NEVER EVER SUBSCRIBE AGAIN, they not fixing and not telling you that you can watch only one game and the time. RIBBISH. NOT WORTH IT

Scam

In App Store it shows that UCL is also available as u can see the UCL logo in the picture but when u download and install the app there is no UCL games or live matches regarding UCL 😔👎

Response from developer

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out. Because we operate regionally, our broadcasting rights vary by market. Unfortunately, our current rights for the ANZ region do not include the UEFA Champions League (UCL). This can be seen in the description.

Football

Very good
Mini/highlights aer quick to be available (La Liga, Seria A, Bundasliga)
Would give 4.9 stars if there was an option

Response from developer

We’re pumped to hear you love our app! Your support fuels our passion to keep improving the app... GO Leeds!

Playback

The issues of live sports streaming has improved dramatically, not sure if you’ve made improvements to the app but it’s greatly appreciated. Long may no interruptions continue

Please do better

I’ve finally had enough and need to say something, I’m sick of avoiding seeing the score on all media platforms to then go into the app and have it show me the score every single time, I turned off spoilers but no matter what I do it ends up popping up either at the beginning or when the video glitches and fast forwards to the end of match. You would think a company that makes this much money on subscriptions would be able to pay a programming designer to do a better job. I wish the serie A was back on Kayo so I didn’t have this problem…


Can someone please buy the serie a license of of these clowns, the app never works properly and I end up just watching highlights online, waste of money… guys spend some time and money on your app……

Awful stream

I have been a paying customer of beIN Sports Connect and I am beyond frustrated with the experience. The picture quality is absolutely awful and nowhere near what they advertise as “HD.” The stream is constantly blurry, jittery, bouncy, and not sharp at all. On a big screen TV, it looks even worse — like I’m watching a low-quality free betting site stream such as Bet365, not something I’m paying a monthly subscription for.
I raised this issue with beIN more than a week ago and did everything they asked from a troubleshooting point of view. I ran speed tests (my internet is more than fast enough), I sent them short clips of the poor stream quality, and even provided examples from other matches like Bundesliga as they requested. Despite all this, the problem remains exactly the same.
The only response I get is a copy-and-paste reply that “engineers are actively working on the issue.” That is not good enough. Customers are paying for a service that claims to provide high-quality live sport, yet what we receive is closer to an unreliable, grainy stream that completely ruins the viewing experience. I even filled in their follow-up form yesterday, only to get the same dismissive answer.
This is a complete joke. If beIN cannot provide the quality service they promise, then they should stop charging customers until they can actually deliver, or better yet, hand over the broadcast rights to another provider who has the infrastructure and care to do it properly.
Football fans deserve better. Right now, beIN is nothing but pathetic, unreliable. I cannot enjoy my favourite matches, and I feel cheated every time I log in. BeIN needs to take responsibility and fix this — not hide behind empty statements while continuing to collect subscription fees.

Frustrating

As I paid the year subscription on the Foxtel deal $119 I’m unable to get the app on my not very old LG Oled television. So I have to play it on my iPad and airlift it to the PC which means I can’t record the matches later in the night, can’t see who’s playing later without disconnecting from the airlift thing and reconnecting, can’t convince my husband it’s worth it. How on earth have they made such a mess of something that until last month was such consistently good value?

I tried to watch the Miami ATP Final with Djokovic and Mensek. It dropped off 5 times or more, at pivotal moments eg I missed the first tie break!, got back in the 2nd game second set.
Not quite good enough fellas.

Response from developer

Hi Anrolw, beIN SPORTS CONNECT offers the full matches replays, so there is no need to record it. You can access the full matches replays on the specific competition page. We will be happy to assist you directly via our customer service, so appreciate if you can send us an email on au-customerservice@bein.com

Terrible app

So disappointing the Bein have the exclusive rights for many sports in Thailand yet have a service so difficult to use.

Main problems:
Chromecasting is fraught with errors. Regular dropouts when watching live or replays. Restarting the video after the drop out takes you back to the beginning, and the new UI has no way to scrub back to the point you were previously viewing. Not to mention seriously compromising the viewing experience with interruptions. I use the Google Home app to scrub, seems ridiculous this is not available within the app. Picture quality also jumps around like crazy. We have very fast FTTH internet and still often experience seriously low resolution, really not good enough for sport viewing. I am not willing to watch the sport that I want on my phone, you need to improve your bandwidth during times of high use.

I have started support tickets several times with Bein and have never received a response, despite sending in videos and screenshots of my issue. Pay no attention to the responses to “get in touch” that you see on the App Store, there is nobody home in their customer service dept.

Unfortunately, this app is the only way to view some sports in Thailand - though I often find other ways to watch the sport I want due to the in usability of this service.

I have cancelled this service multiple times through sheer frustration and have received a refund each time, the subscription gets cancelled also unfortunately. I would recommend this to those receiving sub-standard service, money talks.

Please improve your service Bein - many other providers offer a far superior service for less. To the providers contracting their sports to Bein, you are doing damage to your brand. Please choose a provider that can actually deliver the sports to the viewers, not create an absolutely terrible and frustrating experience 9.5 times out of 10.

Terrible

I didn’t know an app could be this bad. It’s almost impressive that a group of people have managed to create something so broken. This is the first review I’ve ever left on an app (that’s how bad this is).

The streaming is generally awful, half the replays you click on won’t even work. If a game is already being played but you want to watch it from the start, you can pretty much give up on that. It won’t work. If a match has just finished and you’d like to watch the replay, forget about it. It’ll just be a placeholder image that you’re attempting to click on. Come back in a couple of hours and they might have the replay working.

The horrendous app is matched by the lacklustre lineup of pundits and presenters. Where did they find these people? They’re completely out of touch and give the audience the sense that they haven’t watched a single match all season.

If you want to pay $15 a month for an app that literally does not work and will barely allow you to watch any football, then this is the app for you.
