### 2/5 — Too Many

*2026-07-26, version 2.9.8*

Camera switches views too many times.  Zooming in too far and misses the event.  Takes too long to load.  Too much buffering.  Please Show the entire chute and box on the timed events without the zoom and switch.

### 2/5 — Streaming

*2026-07-13, version 2.9.8*

Seems every year they change where they stream the live performances and then unable to view usually the final round. It’s me, it’s my tv that’s “not supported,” but has firestick per their streaming requirements, and definitely can’t be them. 

It’s insane that it happens every single year.

### 3/5 — Okay APP

*2026-07-08, version 2.9.8*

The live portion doesn’t always show all live events only what’s currently on the cowboy channel even though I have the plus subscription.

### 1/5 — This is terrible

*2026-07-04, version 2.9.8*

Right in the middle of trying to watch Calgary and get cut off! I’m not in Canada, what is going on? Where is 100 days of Rodeo!

### 1/5 — Hard to navigate

*2026-06-30, version 2.9.8*

This app is extremely hard to navigate, I got the everything we got package and still cannot locate the archived footage!

### 1/5 — Not airing all days of a rodeo

*2026-06-27, version 2.9.8*

Won’t bother purchasing again after them not airing all the days of a rodeo.   Who wants to watch just 2 of the 4 days of a rodeo? The cowboy channel itself will not issue money back.

### 3/5 — Fix this connection I wanna watch

*2026-06-25, version 2.9.8*

I like that I am able to watch a rodeo everyday but the amount of lagging/buffering that happens with everything is pretty upsetting and why I have to give the app 3 outta 5

### 2/5 — Disappointed with Teton

*2026-06-19, version 2.9.8*

I loved the cowboy channel when Patrick ran it almost all of the pro rodeos where streamed and so many more horse events now that Teton owns it there is only a few pro rodeos. As a wife of a professional roper and a fan of rodeo  it was nice to be able to watch the rodeos when I wasn’t able to travel with him. I’m so disappointed with what Teton has done with the cowboy channel the last few years it’s almost not worth paying my subscription for it anymore

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-06-13, version 2.9.8*

As a competitor, I like to be able to go watch the previous nights of PRCA rodeos to gather information for a game plan on which horse to run etc. they took this ability away and it hinders my decision making ability for individual rodeos. You would think being labeled “cowboy channel” they would advocate for the competitors., but that is not the case.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-06-11, version 2.9.8*

Sucks used to be better

### 1/5 — New ownership flat out sucks

*2026-06-11, version 2.9.8*

Sell back to real cowboys

### 1/5 — Frozen screens and reruns.

*2026-06-07, version 2.9.8*

The CC+ has gone down hill since Teton Ridge purchased and took over. I pay over $100 to watch the Live Rodeos and the feed is usually frozen or will not load on the App. Or you can watch rodeo reruns on the Cowboy Channel.

### 1/5 — Completely Misses the Mark

*2026-06-07, version 2.9.8*

They are just missing the absolute basic necessary functions to be considered a streaming app.  Resume watching option? Nope, find the rodeo and fast forward to where you were at.  Search button? Nope. Library option? Nope.  If you want to login and watch a specific rodeo, you better hope it’s in the featured section otherwise you can’t find it.

### 1/5 — Cowboy Channel Sucks

*2026-06-05, version 2.9.8*

I paid $119.00 to watch live over 100 rodeo’s plus the NFR a year and all I am getting to see is reruns. I want my money back. And myself and many others to don’t waste your money on CC.

### 1/5 — Disappointed Cowboy

*2026-06-04, version 2.9.8*

Since Teton Ridge has taken over and changed the entire channel. The CC absolutely sux. There are more commercials than rodeos and most of the rodeos are reruns. Y’all are losing customers by the day due to this. We don’t want TV shows. We want what we paid for is Rodeos. Get ur head out of the sand

### 1/5 — 👎🏼

*2026-06-04, version 2.9.8*

I have a very strong internet and it skips like an old scratched CD

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-05-29, version 2.9.8*

App sucks now can’t find any previous rodeos.

### 3/5 — Replays

*2026-05-28, version 2.9.8*

Can’t find the replays of rodeos anymore

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not there yet

*2026-08-05, version 2.9.8*

Constant buffering and glitches. The livestream at least for the local rodeo we want to watch has not worked well 3 years in a row now. Great idea but so far they haven’t got it figured out.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-27, version 2.9.8*

Paid for a year and can’t watch

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-07-23, version 2.9.8*

Can’t cast to tv using the app so it’s a waste of $120.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-21, version 2.9.8*

Paid for a year subscription format so we could ensure we were able to watch family at NHSRA Finals. Every single live feed froze and then a pop up stating unable to play selected content. Useless

### 1/5 — Won’t load content

*2026-07-16, version 2.9.8*

The app take too long to load or times out. 
I have tried with WiFi and cellular data

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2026-07-16, version 2.9.8*

Never used this app before, as soon as I tried to watch the local Rodeo it crashes

### 1/5 — Pitiful.

*2026-07-12, version 2.9.8*

I’ve had this app a few years now. Every time I open it I’m hoping they used some of the money they make on improving it and am left disappointed. It’s frustrating to try rewinding or fast forwarding. There’s several rodeos I have to go to the website to watch because they’re impossible to find in the app. I find it hard to believe this is the best they can give us especially with what we’re paying to be able to watch including the NFR and we’ve had problems watching that when the time comes too. It’s obviously getting really annoying because I never write reviews. You might as well hire me to design a new app. It might be my first time but I bet I’d do a better job than this! It’s pitiful.

### 1/5 — Calgary

*2026-07-07, version 2.9.8*

Why can’t we watch Calgary live or any repeats on the app?

### 1/5 — Why

*2026-07-05, version 2.9.8*

Not showing the “live” rodeos as they are going on SUCKS. I have family to watch and I’ve never had so much trouble. I should be watching Calgary live but it’s not on. Thx for nothing

### 1/5 — No signal

*2026-07-04, version 2.9.8*

Every time I watch the app, it won’t even load it just skips and skips and I’m paying money for nothing come on guys

### 5/5 — I tried to resign up but….

*2026-06-21, version 2.9.8*

I am not able to watch the plus broadcasts I have tried to sign up and subscribe several times.  Please fix this

### 5/5 — Love the app but

*2026-06-21, version 2.9.8*

I love the cowboy channel app I watch it all the time the only thing is I wish they had a search bar on the mobile app outside of that I love it

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2026-04-04, version 2.9.8*

I can so see much more good rodeo with this app. I watch way more than I thought. Lots of good stuff if you love the West. Hope they keep adding more.

### 5/5 — Non-stop rodeo

*2026-04-03, version 2.9.8*

Great access to rodeo content with different streams so I can feel like I’m in the arena!

Absolutely love the content and the brand. Great user experience and looks amazing.

### 5/5 — Rodeo

*2026-02-26, version 2.9.7*

The best money I’ve ever spent! I love the Cowboy Channel plus.

### 5/5 — Can’t watch

*2025-12-06, version 2.9.6*

I am not at my home TV I can’t get logged in to the app or the cowboy website to watch the NFR. That is the only reason I subscribed

### 5/5 — Disappointed

*2025-12-06, version 2.9.6*

My review would be higher if I could actually get into my account. Feeling frustrated.

### 5/5 — Added fast forward feature

*2025-06-28, version 2.8.8*

Just wanted to come say how much I love the app and the fast forward feature has made it so much easier to catch up on missed rodeos! Highly recommend the app to keep up with the season
