Kicks me out

For the last 3 weeks bowlTV has turned into pause tv kicks me out every time I enter 🤬

App won’t open

Each time I try to open Bowltv app it flashes open and closes. It worked fine the other day. What did you do?

Doesn’t even work

I would give it a zero if I could. This app doesn’t even work.
Update- installed 2.5 update and app does not even open now. I just watch it on the web. It’s way easier.

Unusable

Crashes immediately open opening. I tried reinstalling and restarting several times.

Nothing works

Keeps telling me that every channel is no longer available. Can’t watch anything, uninstalling

Worthless

The app does nothing but give you an opening screen with menu but if you don’t go to the menu quick enough it disappears and you get a icon saying Watch BowlTV which isn’t even a link to anything. Just use your browser instead and go to BowlTV.com

App is BLANK

Pay to subscribe and the app is trash. When will it be repaired?

Doesn’t even work

I would give it a zero if I could. This app doesn’t even work

Atrocious

The app has potential, but in its current state it feels unstable, particularly as a web clip. The migration to the BowlTV web experience is inconsistent, and the app frequently freezes on a white screen or becomes unresponsive.

If the goal is to simplify access to BowlTV, the execution isn’t there yet. Hopefully future updates address the reliability issues, because right now it does not deliver a smoother viewing experience.

Screen freezes when app loads

The screen won’t load and freezes. You have to shut down the app and try again with luck to get it to work.

Awful

I constantly have to login and out, I constantly have to re-download the app. It fails to load.

Screen locks during playback

Was going to submit to developer support but it requires that you fill out a form with an annoyingly unnecessary amount of information or you can’t report a problem with the app.

So here is the problem:
While watching a video on iPhone, the screen will lock due to inactivity at whatever you have as the Lock Screen time.

The solution is to turn the screen lock off completely. This has lead to me pocket dialing my pro shop five times in a row, and clocking in and out of work twenty or thirty times within an hour. I finally turned it back on, and now I have to tap my screen repeatedly or the video is interrupted. If that wasn’t bad enough, sometimes it won’t keep your spot in the video and you have to find out where in the 5 hr stream you were watching before the screen locked. Not so good. Not so good at all

Very unfortunate

This app is literally good for nothing at the moment. Very unfortunate that it seems there is no customer support.

BowlTV app on iPad and Roku

I am not able to access full functionality of the app when using on my iPad. Such as changing channels and accessing the comments. It also closes for no reason.
I also have the app on my Roku and have the same issues as on my iPad but worse. Watching the WSOB last night and the app closed after every game and sometimes during the match.
I paid for the subscription and it’s very frustrating that I can only watch from a browser. Please update asap!

Chromecast can’t connect

I am unable to connect to Chromecast or even go full screen on a device. Just a bad product when you’re paying $16 a month. Fix the Chromecast and full screen option as it can be difficult to even see what’s happening in the match without them.

Oops! It appears the selected channel is not available anymore…

This is the message I received when selecting links to say recent finals, PWBA, or any other thing there. I just spent 120 Dollars for the annual subscription and nothing is working. This is the worst sports app I’ve ever seen.

Fire Your Tech Manager

Not everyone can join the broadcast on time and there is no way to rewind and start from the beginning. That seems to be a “no-brainer” to have as an option.

Also, why does it take HOURS to post replays? They’re never up in time to watch before the next round and the no rewind makes it impossible to get caught up.

And don’t get me started on “Where the Heck is Flanagan?” rant!

I’m sure Chase is a nice guy but he’s in over his head. Tom is great but he needs to work on his “smile” so he stops looking like a stalker. It’s like he’s got a hanger stuck in his mouth. Again, I really like Tom. He adds a LOT!

And finally we Boomers need the App available on ROKU too

Sorry for the long rant.

Fix these issues and I’ll change my rating to a 5.

No live events

Haven’t been able to view a live PBA event yet this year. Waste of money for the subscription.

Horrible app & no support

Never seems to work to find/view collegiate events.
Some tournaments are restricted to BowlTV but then the app doesn’t work.

Frustrating

BowlTV? Great! App? Not so much. Rarely works when it’s open. Painfully slow. Honestly, not worth the subscription unless you are able to watch in your browser.
