### 3/5 — Please fix the featured game option

*2026-01-06*

I use this app primarily to check the game schedule for the mens team. I have always disliked that you have to start from the beginning of the schedule back in October and scroll till you find the current or upcoming dates. 

Recently a new element has been added. The feature game option. And I have two issues with it. One, it’s huge! Now you only have so much screen to find the upcoming game schedule. 

Now that wouldn’t be a problem if it was there to highlight the next game period. In fact that would be awesome. But it would appear the feature game section is only meant for home games. 

It would be really great if you would adjust this. Have that section somewhere else so I can look at the schedule without this huge block in the way. 

Please consider this.

### 3/5 — IOS app not opening

*2024-11-24, version 8.3.2*

App remains stuck and not opening. 11/24/24 6:06 am deleted app redownloaded and still not opening.

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2024-03-03, version 8.0.1*

I use to love this app. Now half the time it crashes. The calendar sync doesn’t work anymore and I can no longer listen to the Tar Heel Sports network. I hope this gets fixed.

### 3/5 — Notifications don’t work

*2024-02-15, version 8.0.1*

The notifications for the game start don’t work anymore.

### 1/5 — Unc app.

*2024-02-10, version 8.0.1*

App. will not open completely keeps shutting down while opening, deleted it twice and redownloaded it but same thing.

### 1/5 — Bring Back the Old Version

*2024-02-08, version 8.0.1*

The new version is horrible!! Audio times out. Where are recordings of THSN broadcasts of previous games? Sometimes when I’m at the game in person I want to listen later to THSN broadcast. Cannot find those for MBB 
Harder to navigate, find schedules, filter results. Give me back the old version!!!!

### 2/5 — FIX THE APP

*2024-02-07*

I love this app because it allows me to listen to UNC Basketball and Football broadcasts, but i hate it because ever since an update from around the start of basketball season, the broadcast FREEZES EVERY 5-10 MINUTES while listening. It used to work great without any crashes, but ever since the update has been very annoying to use. I love hearing Jones Angell's calls but sometimes it's not even worth it because of always having to close and re-open the app. Please fix this app and get it working the way it used to!

### 2/5 — Can’t make it through a game

*2024-01-31, version 8.0.1*

App shuts down and makes my phone super hot when trying to listen to the basketball game.

### 2/5 — Constantly crashes

*2024-01-31*

The app takes forever to open and it crashes almost every time I use it. I was in the middle of listening to a game and it just stopped. It also logged me out and when I try to reset my password it fails and says to try again or contact support. You would think such a popular school would have a better app.

### 1/5 — App needs improvement

*2024-01-27, version 8.0.1*

Can’t listen to the games since the app crashes every few minutes.   This app makes my phone get very hot.  Only app that does that.   Needs work.

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2024-01-20, version 8.0.1*

I can no longer open this app. I tried re-installing, but it didn’t work.

### 1/5 — Since last update a week ago I have not been able to open the app. Please help.

*2024-01-20, version 8.0.1*

Great app, keeps me informed of things I'd otherwise miss out on relating to my fav. college sports.

### 1/5 — Used to be great until redesign last month

*2024-01-11*

This app used to be great!! But the redesign update last month is terrible. Every time I try to listen to the livestream of a game broadcast, my phone gets super hot and the app randomly quits working multiple times throughout the game. Before the redesign it worked great. Very disappointed with the recent redesign update to this app.

### 1/5 — Update killed functionality

*2024-01-06, version 8.0.0*

The most recent update has totally ruined the app. It’s been impossible to stream game audio but either plays for a minute then the app crashes or it redirects me to a website that doesn’t load on my phone. Has happened for several games, not just once. Please fix!

### 1/5 — App has taken steps backwards

*2024-01-03*

The listen to broadcast times out and stops transmitting. After a few rounds of restarting to listen to the broadcast the Listen button on the main screen stops working and launches the web browser to watch the game.  This app needs a lot of work. The old app worked much better.

### 1/5 — App randomly shuts off,  can’t listen to games

*2024-01-02, version 8.0.0*

I used to take walks while listening to games, but now with this revamped app, it the audio quits on me randomly after 5-10 minutes, so I have to reopen the app and start the broadcast again. Extremely annoying. please fix

### 1/5 — Version 8.0.0 is a problem

*2023-12-30, version 8.0.0*

My phone is overheating and one basketball game has drained a full battery.  Plus it keeps dropping out every 10-15 mins.  I don’t see any benefit for the new version.   The old version worked fine.

### 2/5 — New app is worse

*2023-12-28*

I had no problem listening to games live on the old app - the broadcast drops off and the app needs to be closed out frequently with this new version.  The new app also makes my iPhone 14 heat up and drain the battery.

### 1/5 — SO BAD after revamp

*2023-12-27, version 8.0.0*

It worked fine until they revamped it. Does anyone who makes the app actually use it?! The audio either crashes every 5-10 minutes or it won't even load bc it sends you to the website. PLEASE fix immediately.

### 1/5 — Used to be great but terrible after the new version

*2023-12-24, version 8.0.0*

Please give me back the old version. After the version updated, the app crashes randomly when listening to the live broadcasts. Even emailed Learfield 2 weeks ago advising about the issue but no reply. Terrible!

### 1/5 — Only Crashes

*2024-03-11, version 8.0.1*

This used to be a great app and really useful, but I can’t even get it to open anymore. At first I thought it was being overloaded with users during games. But nope - no matter when I try, the app opens for one second before immediately crashing.

### 1/5 — Shutting down

*2024-03-09, version 8.0.1*

I get a one second peak, then it shuts down. Delete, reinstall was no help.

### 1/5 — Please fix

*2024-03-08, version 8.0.1*

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-03-02, version 8.0.1*

App used to be awesome but hasn’t worked for weeks

### 1/5 — App Is Useless!!

*2024-03-02, version 8.0.1*

I have tickets for todays game and cannot get the stupid app to function at all! It won’t let me create and account or login. UNC Athletics, shame on you! It’s 2024 and you have one of the best athletic programs in the country but can’t produce a functioning app!! Pathetic.

### 1/5 — Why did you remove my review?

*2024-02-13, version 8.0.1*

It was creative and informative. I hope you at least sent it to the app developers.

### 5/5 — Disappointed

*2023-01-21*

Tarheel lights quit working. Schedule adds every sport—all or nothing. Calendar entries have to be opened to see which game it is. Would be nice to have options for which sport you want to see on the schedule.

### 5/5 — GoHeels!

*2021-02-08, version 6.3.4*

Great app that keeps me informed of all things TarHeel

### 5/5 — TarHeels Basketball

*2021-01-26, version 6.3.4*

Number 1 Sports Team overall! No greater way than to have all of the statistics right in the palm of your hand...

### 5/5 — Go Heels!

*2021-01-16, version 6.3.4*

Great app for all true Carolina Tar Heel fans! Wish the main game schedule page was a little better laid out.

### 5/5 — HERE COMES CAROLINA!!!

*2020-12-08, version 6.3.3*

THE GO HEELS APP HAS THE BEST CAROLINA ATHLETICS UP TO DATE INFORMATION 🏀😊👍!!!

### 5/5 — Tar Heels

*2020-09-26, version 6.3.2*

It is very helpful and gives you alerts about what’s happening
GO HEELS!

### 5/5 — The App is good....

*2020-09-13*

The app IS good but could be a little better.  Please think about developing a broadcast partnership with the ACC Network to provide UNC fans a groundbreaking service/platform that will allow the app’s users and UNC fans to watch all UNC games live within/on the app, in partnership with the ACC Network.

### 5/5 — Review

*2020-03-01, version 6.3.0*

I BLEED CAROLINA BLUE!!!!!! 
TAR   HEELS.   TAR   HEELS

### 5/5 — East Roxboro Heel

*2020-02-14, version 6.3.0*

Great site for information and stories from great writers and all things Carolina!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2019-11-27, version 6.3.0*

I used to be down on this app. All of my gripes were fixed in this latest update. I can listen in the background, including when my phone screen turns off. I can also sync with the TV broadcast. I will use this app for every game!
