### 2/5 — Updates make it worse every time

*2026-08-29, version 11.8*

I have exclusively used this app for sports news for many years. Sorta done with it. Can’t ever watch the clips on twitter anymore because it just redirects you to try and force you to download X. The dumb banner across the top that I cannot turn off. Just always something

### 2/5 — Videos Rarely Work

*2026-08-21, version 11.7*

None of the videos that I get notifications for work. I’ll get a random one that loads in but for the most part it’s just a black screen

### 2/5 — Still wacky

*2026-08-17, version 11.7*

I really wish they would have left it tf alone…this app is so trash compared to the previous edition. I’ll never forgive them for this change. Whoever signed off should run into the bottom post of their bed with their pinky toe each night before bed…and if they have a platform bed, it should be their shin.

### 1/5 — Racist, bigoted, hateful app!

*2026-08-08, version 11.7*

Bleacher Report is a racist, bigoted, hateful app.
Stories are always biased, mixed with racist overtones. 
Comments are never deleted that use racist, sexist, antisemitism and vulgarity! 
I thought this was a Sports App!?
Everything but an informational sports page.
This app is disgusting.
Notifying editors about  comments does absolutely nothing.
Same response over and over.
I’m done with your hatred. It’s vile and grotesque!
I will tell everyone about this trash app!

### 1/5 — Non Functioning

*2026-08-05, version 11.7*

I don't care how many times you delete our reviews. This is a disingenuous media company through and through. They completely ruined the app with the infamous update and it somehow continues to degrade. Now you can't even view the forums to interact with others.

### 1/5 — Reminder

*2026-08-04, version 11.7*

Just here to remind you that you absolutely ruined the best sports app available. Ta ta ®€+a ®d$!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-08-03, version 11.6*

The forum is such a joke. Makes it impossible to comment and then comments are deleted and rolled back to three weeks ago. What in the world

### 3/5 — Had to turn off notifications

*2026-08-01, version 11.6*

STOP GIVING ME  NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT JAKE AND LOGAN PAUL!!! THEIR STAGED SOCIAL MEDIA BEEFS ARE NOT SPORTS NEWS!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Bought out by WB

*2026-07-27, version 11.6*

Turned off comments. They don’t want us all talking about the truth of rigged sports. Right after World Cup had the world talking about rigged it was for Argentina. It’s obv

### 1/5 — Horrible UI

*2026-07-27, version 11.6*

This app used to be the pinnacle of sports apps . Now it is a shadow of what it once was with horrible loading times and live scoring delayed . It’s just not as good as it was in 2017 wish they’d go back

### 1/5 — Editors and writers make to many mistakes / The update is unusable.

*2026-07-26, version 11.6*

Bleacher Report has come to be known for frequently writing articles with factual errors and typos. It’s quite embarrassing for the site as a whole to allow this many errors. Are there even editors anymore? Also, the fan communities have been ruined by trolls from other teams. The Bleacher Report fan communities just attract the worst sport fans. It’d be nice to have fan communities cleaned up to only be that fan base. Used to really enjoy this app but just like ESPN it has gone downhill.

Post update review:
Just go back to the previous version. I tried but it’s unusable. Will give it sometime to see if they go back but if not I’m done. Scroll through the reviews and listen to your users instead of giving the copy/paste response you have everyone else.

2nd Post Update Review:
This app has been in a steady decline for quite some time. After over a decade of use, I have decided to discontinue using it. It is clear that B/R is not addressing user concerns, as evidenced by their refusal to revert to the previous version of the app and their repetitive, generic responses to feedback. It seems as though this recent update was implemented with little regard for user experience, ultimately causing the death of B/R.

### 1/5 — Racist, hatred in comments!

*2026-07-25, version 11.6*

Bleacher Report has gone from bad to worse. Stories are slanted and written with racist and hatred overtones. Comments are allowed that spew antisemitism and racist rants. Bleacher Report is not a serious sports app anymore! Time to delete and remove permanently!

### 1/5 — Fake Reviews

*2026-07-22, version 11.6*

How many of these five-star reviews are completely manufactured? They all look like generic nonsense and seems like an effort to counter the honest and truthful reviews by current and former users about how disappointed they are in the “big” update (it’s garbage btw). We want old BR back. Sellouts

### 1/5 — Kobe hate

*2026-07-22, version 11.6*

Can’t take yall seriously when yall disrespecting Kobe the way yall do.

### 1/5 — 👎

*2026-07-16, version 11.5*

Used to love this app but the reliance on twitter (X) has ruined it. It has basically become X. Can not see ha highlight or update without getting redirected to a site you don’t want to be at. I don’t have an X account. I don’t want an X account. Switching sports apps

### 1/5 — Racist, hatred in comments!

*2026-07-16, version 11.5*

Bleacher Report has gone from bad to worse. Stories are slanted and written with racist and hatred overtones. Comments are allowed that spew antisemitism and racist rants. The Score is not a serious sports app anymore! Time to delete and remove permanently!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Still Garbage

*2026-08-31, version 11.8*

BR is so trash now that I opted to pay a subscription to the Athletic. They are far superior and a glimmer of what this app used to be.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-27, version 11.8*

I’ve had this app since it first came out. It’s been on every smart phone I’ve ever owned. When it first came out it was perfect, it was curated to your specific interest ONLY allowed open communication with fellow sports fans. But then the company started taking more and more money from the wrong people who now have a strangle hold on the app. Most speech is now censored, no more tagging friends in posts and then receiving a notification. Women’s sports or forced down your throat. This app has turned into the exact opposite app that all its users originally downloaded. It’s been a very similar fall to ESPN/ Sports center. It’s pathetic and sad, every higher up at this company deserves to be fired and unemployed long enough they’re forced to file bankruptcy.

### 1/5 — Massive Downgrade

*2026-08-19, version 11.7*

Have been a supporter and devoted user of this platform since it began as Team Stream but unfortunately since the new update the user interaction has been horrendous. Had the original Bleacher Report App for over a decade and would get all of my team news and updates from there until I was forced to update to this new application. 

This is massive downgrade in my opinion for what used to be an easy and enjoyable way to follow sports and support your team has become frustrating and unusable. The amount of advertising is super excessive and it constantly gets in the way of viewing any of the content and makes it hard to read any articles and almost impossible to follow the article itself. 

The new design makes it feel cluttered, slow, and overly focused on serving ads rather than providing a user experience. I understand that advertising is necessary in order for a business to succeed but this is unbearable. 

I ended up deleting the app for a while hoping that these would get cleaned up after some feedback from people but I just tried it again and it is still impossible to connect with anything but ads on the platform anymore. Now I need to find somewhere else to stay connected with sports.

### 1/5 — USED TO BE GREAT NOW ITS TRASH!!!!!! THE NEW DESIGN/FORMAT SUCKS!!!!!

*2026-08-19, version 11.7*

WARNER BROS SHOULD SELL THIS COMPANY!!!
I REMEMBER WHEN THIS APP WAS FUN TO USE, NOW ITS THE WORSSSSST!!!!

### 1/5 — Smh

*2026-08-17, version 11.7*

This went from my go to app must look at everyday to my least favorite app. Whatever the update was broke it. Almost unusable and I was the best. If I wanted to use x I would. Well job about being the worst delivery.  Wtf.

### 1/5 — Terrible Sports App with a mediocre OS

*2026-08-14, version 11.7*

There appears to be no writers here as it seems to be done entirely by AI and that’s why the articles have several spellings errors even a 5th grader could point out and fix. Not only that. They seem to push notifications that aren’t even sports related. Completely ridiculousness that this app can get away with this goofiness.

### 1/5 — Would not Recommend

*2026-08-14, version 11.7*

I used to thoroughly enjoy this app, but now it’s just a platform to share twitter(X) feeds. If you don’t have an X account, you’ll be countlessly redirected to X.com, to which you’ll need an account to view the content. Additionally, the poor performance of the app, the ad content that launches on each page without user interaction, the incredibly laughable “highlights”, and poor AI unedited reporting — this app has lost its competitive market edge.

### 1/5 — Porn ads?

*2026-08-12, version 11.7*

I keep getting porn ads on this app. Figured it was an app for all ages to keep up with sports but I wouldn’t let your kids download this app. They’d rather make money than protect the younger users, disgusting.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-12, version 11.7*

Are there any humans running this app anymore? It’s literal train wreck. You ruined such a great idea. Why? To many scary disagreements about sports? At least now I can count on technical glitches every day and a bombardment of horrible AI articles.

### 1/5 — Slow

*2026-08-11, version 11.7*

App crashes all the time need to fix it

### 5/5 — App problem

*2026-08-24, version 11.8*

When I try to open the app, it says something went wrong. Please try again and I clicked the refresh button and nothing happens. It also says I have one notification which won’t go away.

### 5/5 — Ngl pretty darn good

*2026-08-21, version 11.7*

It gets the best view of that Lecake LeBron has so I’m in!!!

### 5/5 — Just a me thing

*2026-08-09, version 11.7*

I really enjoy it. My only small suggestion is to make the app icon more modern, edgy, and eye-catching. Keep up the good work!"

### 5/5 — Bring back older version

*2026-08-02, version 11.6*

The old bleacher report app was way better and performed much better than the current version, Too many ads for no apparent reason when I’m looking at the scores from the games that are being played there’s always a stupid ad being played above.

### 5/5 — True Sports Coverage

*2026-07-14, version 11.5*

### 5/5 — Reliable and convenient

### 5/5 — You’re the best

*2026-07-01, version 11.3.1*

I love this app. I love it so much because my kid loves to see all his basketball trades and you could literally see any sport you want hockey soccer football take your pic baseball. It’s just the best thing and you should turn on notifications so you get whenever you pick your things
