### 3/5 — Could be better

*2026-08-16, version 120734*

Can there be some games where you can watch the full game without having to subscribe or pay for premium. Like if there is a live game, Ik u can see the score but I would like to watch the game as well live. Even if it is that h can’t watch it live but after like a day or so you can watch it free. 

Pls do that that is the only reason I am giving it a three otherwise everything is good.

### 2/5 — Canceling subscription

*2026-08-05, version 120732*

The app use to be very good. Now you can’t even watch games because most are streamed on other platforms. I’ve been trying to cancel for the past 2 years and it keeps renovating. The app has a cancellation option but when I press it, it says I don’t have any but it will renew again. Then I get billed and can’t do anything about it. Please help, I do not want to renew!!!!

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2026-08-04, version 120730*

Whenever I go on moments, it shows me the exact same thing every single time.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2026-07-17, version 120726*

1) The resume button needs to show up more consistently like it used to 

2) Why the hell do we have to watch 3/4 ads for each highlight, especially if the clip is less than 15 seconds ? They’re starting to show greed, it’s absurd. 

3) Again….I’m not just speaking for myself, I’m speaking for everyone else who can’t watch games live or on the same day…STOP the app from refreshing and transferring to the current game page if we decide to watch past games from about a week before. It shouldn’t be hard to be a bit more considerate towards the consumers. 

4) Please do NOT increase the price again. 

5) I’m going to be blunt and say that it’s pretty dumb that we can’t watch the most important nba games, such as the playoffs live on the app itself. That’s just drastically tainting the experience for us, especially during the finals. Nobody should have to wait 5 hours just to watch a replay. 3 hours was obviously better like it used to be.

### 3/5 — SCHOGANG

*2026-06-15, version 120722.1*

So The app is very good I think there is some bugs in the app here is one so sometimes when I open the app I get completely signed out which I think is stupid so please fix this but other wise it’s a good app for nba games and scores you can watch past nba finils

### 1/5 — Terrrible

*2026-08-13, version 120734*

Terrible 
!!!!!!!!!. The worst ever!!!!

### 1/5 — Flopping is ruining the game

*2026-08-03, version 120730*

The flopping problem in the NBA is absolutely out of hand and it's making the game unwatchable. Every night you watch Shai Gilgeous-Alexander drive, throw his head back, and fall on the floor and get a whistle. It's every single possession. It's not toughness, it's not craftiness, it's just flopping. And the league is completely rewarding it. You gave him an MVP, a Finals MVP and a ring for it, so why would he ever stop?

This is going to have a huge long term effect on the league. Look at what Steph Curry did to the game. Steph changed basketball forever with the three-pointer, and now you have a whole generation of players like LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards and basically every young guard who grew up watching Steph and now they all shoot from 30 feet. Kids copy what works.

So now what is the next generation learning? Kids who are in middle school and high school right now are watching SGA and other guys flop and get rewarded for it. When those kids get to the NBA in 5 to 10 years, they are all going to be floppers too. Because that is what the NBA is teaching them wins. If you want to win MVP and a championship, you need to fall on the floor.

The NBA needs to actually enforce the flopping rule, start calling technicals, start giving real fines, stop rewarding it. Otherwise you are going to ruin the future of the league.

### 1/5 — Cable Provider login not working

*2026-07-24, version 120730*

I can’t log in to the NBA on Apple TV with my cable provider to watch NBA TV after the latest update. I put in my credentials and nothing happens. Says an error occurred. Worked fine until previous update. Only occurs on Apple TV

### 1/5 — Not as fake as Korean basketball

*2026-07-18, version 120726*

Monthly app could be cheaper knowing they make mad profit with Gambling and they have the edge and make money off people without losing.

### 1/5 — Might be the worst official App by any major sports organization

*2026-07-15, version 120726*

The app is absurdly slow and unresponsive. You can’t even watch summer league games in the same cadence as regular games. The streaming quality has shown zero signs of improvement in the last 6 years. The NBA should be embarrassed by this pathetic excuse for an App. Do better

### 1/5 — Ads Ada Ads

*2026-07-05, version 120726*

1 game highlights = 4 ads, you guys are sick

### 1/5 — Block legit customers

*2026-06-22, version 120722.3*

Had a horrendous experience with league pass support. App blocks me when sitting in my living room and accuses me of being in another country. No proxy or VPN, just gaslighting from incompetent NBA staff. I cancelled my subscription after having paid for this for over a decade. Seriously NBA - you treat loyal customers like garbage.

### 1/5 — Blacked out finals?

*2026-06-14, version 120722.1*

Knick fan traveling in Europe. Was watching on Prime Video no problem. Wouldn’t have WiFi for Game 5 so I needed a backup plan. Subscribed to League Pass and paid $25 only to find out at tip off that the game was blacked out. ESPN for the win luckily.

### 1/5 — Unnecessary Location Requirements

*2026-06-12, version 120722.1*

I know live games have blackout restrictions  so no contest there but to require location to watch archive games (previous years) is absurd.

### 1/5 — Elephant in the room

*2026-06-11, version 120722.1*

App was so useful until they made it unless; how could you take away watching live games for people who don’t have a tv service to go thru to watch! It doesn’t make any sense when you’re literally paying for the benefits. What’s the point in having or creating the app for the league if I gotta got to go to another app to watch  and I’m already paying for your benefits telling me I should be able to watch live games and you’re connected with the organization like there ain’t another nba.com. I don’t understand why? when the games are rigged while at the same time taking our money. Just bring it back and watch how much more money yall make

### 5/5 — Nba

*2026-08-12, version 120734*

I hope to be an nba player when I get older. I’ve always had a love for basketball. But this app is awesome for inspiration. The little clips and shorts are awesome to stay on track about nba stuff. U can also watch games on this app which is awesome for the price. I do have a cool idea for this app though, what if you guys added something like an nba training routine or something like that  and made it like 3$ to unlock the routines? 🤝🔥

### 5/5 — NBA  WASA SPECTACULAR LAST HIGHLIGHTS
