### 2/5 — Used to be good

*2018-07-28, version 4.2*

This app was great for a long period of time now the app is horrible. I get started on trying to watch any of the COD tourneys and it starts then starts buffering and never restarts. So I close the app try again it goes through an add no buffering then back to the tourney a min later buffering. Fix the app please

### 2/5 — Terrible stream quality for mobile

*2018-07-19, version 4.2*

Even with good connection the stream is almost always laggy. Also the whole app is just videos. Why can't there be a standings page or information section on all the games. Really hard to find updates in this app if you missed a game.

### 3/5 — Good app, could easily make better

*2018-05-23, version 4.1*

Love being able to watch COD games at later date. I Like the setup of choosing which matches to watch within each event with clear titles and team logos. 

Would be so much better if it remembered which videos I have seen and my place within videos when I reopen the app.  Also dislike how last match is seen on top of list, so I usually know who won the event before I get to see the earlier matches.

With better navigation and personalization this could be a 5 star app!

### 3/5 — Needs Chromecast support

*2018-01-20, version 4.0.3*

This is pretty good, but I find myself going to Twitch instead since I can cast to my Chromecast devices.

### 2/5 — No Chromecast support

*2018-01-17, version 4.0.3*

What's the point of a video app on my phone if I can't watch the video on my TV? This app needs Chromecast support. Until then, I'll watch on Twitch.

### 3/5 — Videos on repeated loop?

*2018-01-13, version 4.0.3*

So over all this app is amazing. I love that I can easily look up highlights and everything for esports games. Mostly I’m waaaaayy into Overwatch and love catching highlights and spotlights on certain players in the Overwatch league right now. 
It’s like ESPN for gamers. That being said I know that other people have reported this issue, that the videos that we select for play have a playback issue and the video has a small loop where dialogue is repeated. So if that issue could be resolved than this app would have 5 stars all around. 
Thanks in advance MLG!

### 2/5 — Videos have an issue

*2017-11-08, version 4.0.0*

I love the app and it looks good and all but while watching videos it would repeat on parts of it and it would keep rewinding and playing than it rewinds again than it plays and it’s really not convenient having to watch a video that keeps going back and forth

### 1/5 — Needs Landscape Support

*2017-11-04, version 4.0.0*

The refresh is nice but there is still lack of support for iPad. No Landscape with chat!

### 1/5 — New logo is not good

*2017-11-03, version 4.0.0*

Keep the OG logo please.

### 1/5 — Please update

*2015-10-19, version 2.3.1*

This app needs updating. One item missing is more game selection. It gets boating watching the same streamer over and over again. Please add the ability to play in background and while device is locked. It would be awesome to see an option for us to select the quality of the stream for those of us who use cellular service. It'd be cool to move a stream to a corner of the device to see what other streams are happening. The app needs Chromecast support.

### 2/5 — You Can Do A Lot Better Than This

*2015-07-30, version 2.2*

This app is worthless unless you just want to watch the live streams not to mention you can't even search people the screen is way to small you need to get a grip on this app because it's worthless and in going to say this right now model it after the twitch app because that app make the MLG app look lol me MySpace while the Twitch app is Twitter

### 3/5 — I can't create a account

*2015-06-11, version 2.1.1*

Each time I try to make an account it won't let me, it says to make sure ur password has all this stuff in it. I made sure I had all this stuff like a hundred times but it still says I don't. Other then not being able to  create an account it is a good app because I can watch optic Scumpy. Pls fix so I can follow scumpy and know when he is streaming

### 3/5 — Holy Data Batman!!!!

*2015-05-12, version 2.0*

The other reviews cover most of the relative stuff for the user experience, not as good as twitches UI/Chat/Etc. BUT wow this app eats your data! Streaming on cell service is upwards of 5-7gigs per hour!!!! There NEEDS to be an option in the settings to select a resolution with a corresponding data consumption rate per hour. I used this for a 3 hour drive watching OpticScumps stream and used over 11 gigs! Seriously that's insane.

Users BEWARE!

### 1/5 — Do Not Get!

*2015-04-13, version 1.81*

This app is a joke! For starters there is no way to view your battery/wifi/time bar when you are watching a stream. The cover it all up with a white boarder, which is just stupid. Next, you can't watch the stream horizontal when you are laying down, there is no screen lock for when you hold it horizontally.  Finally, they are relentless with the ads. I'm ok with watching a few because I understand they need to make money, but this is just ridiculous the amount of ads. If I try to check the time or check my battery, which you can not do in the app, they give you another ad which is ridiculous! 

This app needs major work so don't waste your time on it.

### 1/5 — Can’t download

*2018-07-16, version 4.2*

I have been trying to download this app for about 6 months and it won’t let me. When is this going to be fixed?

### 1/5 — Chromecast  please!

*2018-01-09, version 4.0.3*

All I asked it is Chromecast available so I can stream it to my tv.

### 1/5 — Video stream constantly repeats

*2018-01-09, version 4.0.3*

When watching videos every so often the stream repeats the last 3-4 seconds of video. It is amazingly annoying and has been going on for some time now. It makes watching videos almost unbearable. When are you going to fix this longtime issue?

### 1/5 — Doesn't Even Start...

*2017-12-22, version 4.0.2*

The app downloads perfectly, my iPhone 6 is up to date, and when you launch the app it just gives a black screen.  On top of that I went through their website where it said there was a live chat with support and upon arriving at the page it was completely blank.

### 1/5 — Money Hungry

*2017-12-10, version 4.0.2*

This is the only app I have ever seen that has 30 seconds commercial every single time when you switch between topics. 

I was able to use it for 5 minutes, uninstalled it instantly ...

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2017-12-10, version 4.0.2*

I can’t watch a 10 second clip without having to wait on a 15 second ad. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2017-12-08, version 4.0.2*

Even after re-installing the app, there is nothing but a black screen when I open the app.

### 1/5 — Buggy/Too many ads

*2017-12-08, version 4.0.2*

Very glitchy. Gets stuck on loops. Can’t switch to any other app without having to restart the MLG app. Ads every time you start any stream or clip. 

15 second ad for a 25 second clip? Every time? No way.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-12-08, version 4.0.2*

No background playback, no quality selection, and poor portrait mode support. Overall a very poor experience compared to what twitch has offered for years

### 1/5 — All black

*2017-12-07, version 4.0.2*

iOS 9 can't open

### 5/5 — What would prime time television be today without a TV guide?

*2019-03-01, version 4.2*

I like Starcraft and overwatch esports as a fan but also enjoy watching any live streamed video game except for MOBAs. Sorry dota and lol fans! Doesn’t take a genius to realize this app is amazing. I personally love the schedule function. It is something the industry has been missing: consistent scheduling. The MLG app is an outlier and deserves five stars.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-01-12, version 4.0.3*

Really amazing app. Works really well and looks fantastic. Very clean looking. Definitely would recommend if you like to watch MLG games.

### 5/5 — Better than I thought honestly

*2016-12-17, version 2.6*

I thought it would be hard to navigate around the app, as well as just showing the streams and not having any special features. But you can sign in as your MLG profile and follow all the streams and its easy to understand. 💯💯

### 5/5 — Why I love this app

*2015-07-08, version 2.1.1*

I have found that this app (in my opinion) is quite easy to use, and fun at the same time. With a nice new sleek design and having chat finally added I find this app extremely simple to navigate and interact with my favorite streamers. However this app sometimes run at a slow pace I can get over that.

### 5/5 — CRASHING

*2014-09-28, version 1.35*

Every time I open the app it takes forever to load who's streaming then after that when I can pick who I want to watch it crashes 10 seconds after I pick someone

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2014-04-08, version 1.1*

This app is amazing! It works great if you are wanting to watch streams. One thing that would be awesome is if they would add a GameBattles option. I know this app is made for watching streams but this is just an idea. It would be nice to be able to report matches without having to have a computer.

### 4/5 — All the Esports you want but......

*2018-03-22, version 4.0.3*

I love the app I can watch all the Esports I want. I esp enjoy CWL coverage and that’s my primary use.  My one complaint has nothing to do with coverage but the commercials, they have 2 that I can think of and they play over and over again.  So every 5 min break between rounds you get the same commercial how ever many times they can fit it in the time slot.  I would rather watch the time clock every break then the same commercial for 4 to 5 hours of coverage

### 4/5 — Good app but needs chat!!!!!!

*2015-03-23, version 1.8*

I certainly love this app but it needs a chat like twitch and I want to be able to see what he/she is streaming. This app will be a success but I understand developers if you don't want to upgrade or update because this is a free app but please give this app a chance. I had this app for like about 3 months already and there hasn't been a update since. Please update the app

### 4/5 — Good

*2015-03-22, version 1.8*

Good update now that apple AirPlay is better. However sometimes when the app is in background it suddenly starts playing the audio when I am in another app. (Such as when in the App Store writing this review!) please fix this wasn't a problem before the recent update.

### 4/5 — Better, but Twitch still does it better

*2015-03-21, version 1.7*

Previously, you could only watch in Landscape, and pick streams in vertical view. Now you can watch in any direction! Still needs chat, though. MLG, if you read this, make chat the highest priority. Just having chat will give you the 5 star that you want.
