Terrible mobile app

One of the worst mobile apps out there. So many pop up videos and ads to accidentally click as you’re scrolling. Also doesn’t save your spot in the article if you swipe to another app for one second.

Doesn’t work

App won’t go to an authentication screen / just tries to make me watch sports on the nbc app, which refuses to show them. Terrible.

Best Philly Beat Coverage

Good writers. Timely stories every day on all sports. Yo Dave Z: did you have to eat that Thesaurus you carry with you on your national park trips? ‘Cromulent?!’ Seriously?

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoy the coverage!

Alerts

Every time I open the app and I open the “ALERTS” tab, nothing comes up even though there are notifications that alerted me. It only says, “You currently have no news alerts. Check back soon for updates.” I have been checking on updates, but still nothing. Can you update the app please?

Can’t watch live sports

The only reason I have this app is to watch the Phillies when I am not home. The new update this year doesn’t even allow for that. When you click “Watch Live” to watch the game, nothing happens. Legit nothing at all. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling and nothing. I have no idea how this can be a thing. Whoever is in charge of developing this app is obviously not doing a good job.

Why can’t we turn off score alerts?

I frequently watch games on a delay and it’s terrible that you spoil the results of games. Why can we not customize alerts to hide scores? Now I have to have all alerts off and I’m sure I’ll miss articles I want to read during the week.

Not good

This app is terrible. For being so limited it’s incredibly clunky. Videos playing every two seconds while trying to read an article is annoying. Needs a totally overhaul.

Please adjust the app so when it is opened it defaults to large print.

Crashes constantly since last update in late April

Can’t watch a game like this, it’s awful.

Ruined

This was the perfect app to get all the information for local sports. Now it is impossible to find what you want. Adds are larger then the content I am trying to read. It is just a mess of a design. App deleted

Bring back the old app

Watching the app has become a tedious exercise in frustration. Less about the teams we love and support and too much about revenue generation with all of the pop up ads.

Basketball

Nobody cares about the basketball team that is still there and and the hockey team has been horrible for a decade. This app needs you you to be able to delete news from 3/4 of the teams we don’t care about.

Backwards

This app is absolutely useless compared to the old one. All you see when you check a game is “in progress” not 2nd quarter or 3rd period. That does no good to anybody, in progress could mean half the games left or 2 seconds are left. No box scores that I could find either, this app was clearly made by someone that knows absolutely nothing about any sport.

P.O.S.

This app was good before this piece of crap revamp. Everyone who thought replacing the old app with this convoluted hunk of garbage should be looking for a new career and leave app development to people who know what they’re doing. Deleted!
