### 5/5 — Worked fine

*2026-03-19*

Not sure what others experienced, but it worked great to watch FIBA women’s games

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2025-11-28, version 2.4*

Useable. For results, competitions are listed alphabetically which is ok. Should be able to follow certain competitions and have them come up above everything else.  I think you’d get a lot more conversion and general use by people if you did. Let people have an account without it being Plus also

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-09-14, version 2.4*

Disconnect, need to try connect 10 times to tv, cannot watch final, asks for login when logged in. I want a refund

### 1/5 — Needs an option to hide scores and to improve the menu navigation

*2025-09-12, version 2.4*

There are upcoming fixtures on opening screen giving away results of the previous round without any option to hide results. The navigation of menus is confusing, and it should be easier to choose between the full game or highlights replay. There should be a timestamp on the progress slider, too.

At least the playback and video streaming works well.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-09-09*

The worst streaming platform I’ve ever experienced. Both desktop and mobile app are just awful. Only way to watch EuroBasket unfortunately. Would give it 0 stars if I could.

### 1/5 — A buggy mess

*2025-09-08, version 2.4*

Constantly says connection error even though there is no problem. Logs you out every couple of days, waste of money

### 4/5 — Full Screen

*2025-09-06, version 2.4*

Overall is a good app but in full screen mode the screen is tilting to right side and not tilting other way. While using phone holder the clips pressing the sound controls and changing volume. Also my home button and finger reader is staying on right side. I am lefty and it is a bit awkward. Why the screen is not tilting both side like youtube app for example.

### 1/5 — App is bugging

*2025-09-04*

It is one of my least favorite apps to use and I wouldn’t use it if I had another choice to watch the Eurobasket. The app is constantly bugging and I am not able to consistently watch games

### 3/5 — No Apple TV app

*2025-08-30, version 2.4*

Please make this available on Apple TV boxes.

### 3/5 — App Clunky But Just Does The Job

*2025-08-30, version 2.4*

As title says.

Desperately needs a “No Spoilers/Hide Scores” feature 

Please fix asap. Waking up to all the Eurobasket results when I just want to watch the game is ridiculous. 

Time Zones/Regions Exist and it’s not always practical watching live games at 3am

Please fix immediately or I’ll cancel my annual pass
