However, I have very strictly and repeatedly gone through the different sports and teams that I want to receive notifications for and turned off all of the notifications from things I don’t want. Even after doing this repeatedly, I still receive notifications from teams and sports I don’t care about. Apparently this is a very common issue. ESPN please fix your stuff! ### 4/5 — Hacer unos pequeños ajustes *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* Por ejemplo cuando están luchando por las posiciones del comodín en MLB ser específicos en los equipos que están más cerca de lograrlo. ### 1/5 — No WPBL *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* Absurd and wildly disappointing. Add WPBL to your app. Get it together. ### 1/5 — Losing the Bundesliga *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* Can’t believe you lost the Bundesliga to a USA Network. First match of the season, and they’re running with Crystal Palace and the Premier League. It’s now the consumer is a major loser here, but ESPN is the biggest loser. ### 2/5 — Weak app *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* For the power that ESPN commands, they should figure out how to make it so the push notifications actually show you the content that you want to see. Every time I click on one it takes me into the app and shows me something not relevant to what I thought I was clicking on. ### 4/5 — ESPN is good *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* So it kind of lags but that might be user error or just my old iPad. But it has the true sports news and it’s great! ### 1/5 — Horrible Ads *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* ESPN recently added gambling ads that are much brighter than the surrounding content and make the app almost unusable. ### 1/5 — Bias *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* Awful. Racially Bias towards Blacks. ### 3/5 — New fonts stink *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* Title kind of says it all Maybe I just never noticed, maybe it’s new, but some of the scores on the main page of the app now show up in a stylized font that makes the app look like it was designed by a high schooler making up new football uniforms for their team on Nike’s website. 7 looks extremely close to 1, ect. Maybe it will not bother others, but it stuck out to me since there are other scores shown that still use the old font. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* Ai overview on search is completely unnecessary and makes the search option impossible to use and way more complicated than it needs to be ### 1/5 — Play by play on games bugged *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* When you click on the play by play option on the app for a basketball game only three quarters show up it does not allow you to select the fourth quarter with this bug. ### 1/5 — Can’t watch ESPN game on app due to glitch *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* Followed steps to link my direct tv account and it’s giving me the run around keeps saying almost there when I linked everything ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-29, version 8.24.1* Nothing happens when I hit watch button. Billion dollar company can’t make an app ### 1/5 — Options *2026-08-29, version 8.24.1* You guys are always changing something and removing things ### 1/5 — App sucks *2026-08-29, version 8.24.1* Your app sucks ### 1/5 — Terrible Interface *2026-08-29, version 8.24.1* Takes several Steps and confusing process to link accounts. Constantly rejects. ### 1/5 — Bad performance *2026-08-29, version 8.24.1* Never works. Lags. Worst sports app ### 1/5 — No In Market NFL *2026-08-29, version 8.24.1* Pointless ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2026-08-29, version 8.24.1* ESPN app is garbage and always lags. It’s overpriced and poor quality. Theres more ads during WWE PLEs than free streaming on your (insert brand) smart tv. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* Cancel your subscription - Video often doesn't play on their app even with a $30/month subscription. Their solution is to delete the app and re-add it which I refuse to do anymore considering all my other platforms work fine. Even when video works if you try and rewind it 10 seconds it starts the whole game over which is beyond frustrating. ESPN is deteriorating despite us all committing more money than ever to them. Get it together and show some focus on your customers instead of your investors. How are Y'all so bad at this? Worldwide leader in not caring about the folks who support them. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* Almost never works!!! Especially not streaming on my tv ### 1/5 — Terrible app design and worse content *2026-08-28, version 8.24.1* The ESPN app has been functionally terrible for so long it’s kind of actually funny, and with them firing any actual reporters, the journalism standards are nothing more than sensationalist headlines and AI-prompt “writing”. It’s stand what’s happened to them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ESPN *2026-08-29, version 8.24.1* It has amazing news and tells you everything about sports ### 5/5 — Live sports and scores *2026-08-29, version 8.24.1* highlights and news was awesome.
