Worst streaming app imaginable
NESN has somehow done the impossible and created a streaming app that outright doesn’t work in 2026. I could get a high school CS class to create a better app than this garbage
So many bugs.
I love NESN. It’s the soundtrack of my childhood. But good god any time you actually interact with the screen, you have to go back out of the game and then back in, in order to reset the functions on the right. The volume for some reason jumps all over the place. I’ll keep using it because I need to watch the Sox, but for the price it has to be fixed.

Waste of money, barely works
Horrible, horrible, horrible. What a waste of money — don’t even bother. Lousy ill-designed app that barely works. Here’s a typical 60 seconds of a Red Sox game:
Watch game for 5 seconds.
Screen freezes for 15 seconds.
Buffering, buffering, buffering for 30 seconds.
Game returns, but in blurry fuzzy standard def resolution. For about 10 seconds.
Freezes.
Buffering, buffering, still frozen.
Totally black screen that says “NESN”.
Buffering, frozen black screen.
Kill the app, switch channel to Food Network.
I’m canceling my subscription and requesting a refund. NESN, scrap this thing completely and start over.

Terrible app
Constant issues simply watching the games. Insanely expensive, very limited selection of NESN content… For a company making this much money, you’d think they’d try a whole lot harder. It’s actually pretty humorous how little they care about ensuring this app is usable. Absolute rip off. Shame on John Henry and Fenway sports group. You’re a joke.

$30 for a Triple A Lineup
Sell the team. $30 a month to watch a Triple A lineup is disgraceful
