And you have to watch at least a 30 second ad between each segment. C’mon. Ridiculous. Way to ruin a perfectly good app. Apparently NBC is now brining on more ad revenue. While spoon-feeding tiny sound bites and forcing ads down our throats. No thanks. And, there is very little useful factual information on games, schedules, etc….Or if there is? It’s buried someplace and I haven’t found it. The way it’s going they probably make you watch an ad to see a schedule. Wretched. ### 1/5 — Why? *2023-09-23* Why did you guys change MyTeams into 4 different regional apps? This app is horrible. User interface on the original was far superior. What happened to favorite teams? Reading articles now is also a miserable experience full of ads. Man, you guys had a good thing going and as always had to go and ruin it with updates. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that you're not enjoying the new app. Our team is constantly working to improve the user experience. Thank you for your feedback. ### 1/5 — Awful app that keeps getting worse. *2023-09-03, version 7.10* Unless you like watching ads for every single thing you click on, avoid this app like the plague. Want to read something? There’s an ad. Video? More ads. And these are the worst kind: no timing, no indication when content might load, just wait and watch. What’s impressive was the last version was bad but not this bad. And don’t believe the apologies! They don’t care about viewers in the least. ### 1/5 — Alerts *2023-08-12, version 7.9.1* How can you delete push alerts on some teams? Can you delete some teams completely. If I can’t I will delete the app. Old version was much better. ### 1/5 — The ROKU app needs work *2023-08-06, version 7.9.1* Please have someone update the Roku app for the strange echoing in the audio (same broadcast doesn’t echo when I watch on regular TV or MLB At Bat app). But more importantly, the app crashes all the time!!! There’s times where I flat out can’t even watch my team play. It’s ridiculous ### 1/5 — Popup ads can’t be deleted. *2023-08-02, version 7.9.1* Necessary to delete the app to get rid of the ad. ### 1/5 — This new app is a downgrade from its predecessor *2023-07-30, version 7.9.1* The previous app worked very well and it didn’t load the same videos at every article and now later seems like there are less written articles and more videos that take forever to load. I miss the previous app. I think I’m done with this one! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2023-07-17, version 7.9.1* The old “My Teams” app was much better allowing users to customize and follow only the Bay Area teams you want not all Bay Area teams. I don’t review apps but this app is so incredibly bad it motivated me to say something. Please fix it or I’ll be deleting it. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Give me back the old version of the app. *2023-07-16, version 7.9.1* If so could give this app a negative score it would be enough. On the previous version of the app, at least I could see scores and the date and time of the next game. I don’t have to keep clicking in to find the thing that should be on the home page. The home page should also be the one sport you’re watching during its season. The UI is horribly unintuitive and fussy. I have it another chance recently and now I’m going to uninstall it. ### 1/5 — Who made this garbage? *2023-07-14, version 7.9.1* The person or persons who thought this new version was better than the old app should be fired. ### 1/5 — Newer but not better *2023-07-14, version 7.9.1* Bring back the old format. ### 1/5 — It wasn’t broken *2023-07-13, version 7.9* The other app would open to a team I saved now it opens to all the teams regardless of what’s saved. Swipe across a full screen was so much nicer. Zero stars if it would let me. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Where are the Sacrament Kings??? *2026-05-30, version 8.8* I know it’s off-season but there’s a lot of stuff going on. Sometimes you go for days or even over a week with nothing new on the Kings. I’m looking for better coverage and I’ll delete this app if I find one. ### 1/5 — SJ Sharks coverage *2025-12-28, version 8.6* Wouldn’t really call it coverage or reporting when 95% of the stories are just videos posted to the site. ### 1/5 — Useless App *2025-10-25, version 8.4* I paid for the Regional Sports Network package on Peacock and still can’t stream any local games. ### 1/5 — Small print *2025-10-07, version 8.4* Look, I’m an older guy with trouble reading small print. I use an iPad most of time so I may use two fingers to enlarge the print. However on this app YOU CAN’T. Most of the articles look there written in 6-8 point print. I can hardly read a darn thing. Please consider adding the feature that allows to enlarge the screen for those of who have trouble reading small print ### 1/5 — Worse app I seen *2025-08-28, version 8.4* Never get any information that is current always have to go somewhere else to get current information ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-08-28, version 8.4* Junk, Junk, Junk app ### 1/5 — Advertising destroyed your app. I have deleted it. *2025-04-08, version 8.2* Terrible ### 1/5 — Next to worthless *2024-06-05, version 7.13.1* The entire reason I downloaded this app was to stream games when I’m away from my house. This app makes it virtually impossible and takes you to story links completely unrelated if you click on “watch.” Either make it easier to actually watch games or stop advertising as it as a place you can do that. ### 1/5 — What a waste *2024-03-19, version 7.11.3* I used this everyday for my team sports. Great way to ruin a very good tool for my local sports news. Absolute trash. ### 1/5 — Bring back the Old App *2023-10-09, version 7.10.1* This App is trash. The Ad lengths are getting worse. I use the App to see Team Videos not to see Ads. Time to delete the App. I select teams I want and I still get news for teams I have not selected or want to turn off. Bring back what we previously had. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-07-18, version 8.3.2* I use this app to follow the SF Giants and learn about the players on the team. I does everything I want it to do so it’s 5 Stars for me. ### 5/5 — Problem solved *2024-04-17, version 7.12* With the latest update I was able to finally find where to choose the teams I wanted to receive notifications for!! THANK YOU.. No longer will i receive unwanted notifications/alerts for The Oakland A’s and Sacramento Kings . ### 4/5 — Rewrite from 1 stars to 4 stars *2023-10-13, version 7.10.1* This is a re-write from my original post. I’ve had the app for a month now. It’s become my go-to app for the latest news updates on the 49er’s and the Golden State Warriors. The app is now better than the original app which I had for many years. Thank you for listening to your users. ### 3/5 — Font *2026-07-02, version 8.8* Why doesn’t the font adjustment at the bottom of all stories work. The articles are about a 5 font. Can hardly read any article ### 3/5 — Why can’t we personalize our stream? *2023-06-15, version 7.9* Please allow users to personalize their stream like the My Teams app did. I just want the content for “my teams” that I follow. The content is great. This one tweak will make the new app a home run for me! ### 3/5 — Meh… *2023-06-12, version 7.9* Format is confusing. Content is… improving I hope. ### 2/5 — New version *2025-09-04, version 8.4* New version is horrible, no more schedule and scores only for that day. Someone really messed up the app ### 2/5 — Too difficult to edit favorite teams *2025-04-23, version 8.2* I chose the teams I wanted to track but was surprised to see a team that I did Not want to track on my list. There is no way to remove it. ### 2/5 — Old Content *2024-01-22, version 7.11.3* Sometimes they go 2 to 5 days without any new stories ### 2/5 — Ads and auto-play videos *2023-07-08, version 7.9* “Upgraded” from the old app and every article I opened had an auto-play video that interrupted whatever media (music, podcast, etc.) I was already playing. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
