Every year
Every year I hope for an app that works. Every year NESN makes it clear they know this is the only place to watch a ton of Bruins and care little about the apps performance because suckers like me still pay.
The worst app
The functionality of this app is TERRIBLE. Starting a live fame late is almost impossible. If you can accomplish that the ff/rew, pause, etc functions do not work. Then there is frequently the dreaded skipping to the end issue. This app is by FAR the worst app I have ever used.
Useless
If you are on vacation the app is useless. so no need to pay for it. The only reason to use the app is when you are not home.
Terrible on all fronts
This app exists for solely one purpose, to stream NESN. They terribly struggle to even do that.
Absolute desperation download
Can’t imagine a worse app to try and watch sports on, constantly doesnt allow you stream what you want and breaks even when it does work, please avoid unless they absolutely force you to watch
How bad can it be, oh, really, really bad!
The "Blindfold and Squint" Spoiler Protocol: Want to watch a game spoiler-free after it's started? You are adorable. The app treats spoiler prevention like a personal challenge. First, you have to launch the game, immediately dive for the remote to mute it so you don't hear the broadcast team screaming about a grand slam, and squint so the giant score graphic doesn’t spoil the game for you.
The Reverse-Time Quantum Leap: Once you manage to blindly navigate to the stream, you can't just hit "Start from Beginning" like a civilized human. No, you have to manually scrub back to the opening pitch. And by "scrub," we mean engaging in a tense, high-stakes physics experiment where the standard 15-second fast-forward/rewind button operates on a completely randomized timeline—moving anywhere from 15 seconds to a geographic epoch, instantly hurling you back to yesterday's post-game show or deep into next week's schedule.
The Commercial Break Russian Roulette: If you somehow survive scrubbing back to the start, good luck making it through the ad breaks. The app will trap you in a purgatory of repeating loops, where fast-forwarding through commercials takes on a mysterious time-dilation property that either does absolutely nothing or launches you straight into the 9th inning.
Pro-Tip: Save your sanity, ditch this absolute tire fire of a platform, get the MLB At Bat app, and just wait 90 minutes after the Red Sox game ends to watch it in peace.

Trash
Live in market. Pay for an app. Everything is blacked out. NESN is horrible
Bad controls; glitchy
Really hard to navigate- crashes and you lose your place; buttons are poorly responsive. Find another option to watch the Sox and bruins
Worst app in internet history
This may be the worst app in the history of the internet. I mean seriously. Have some pride NESN. You charge 30 bucks a month for this POS and it does not function on any device. Embarrassing
Laughable
Streams are poor if they work. Connecting your phone / tv is hilarious. Pasting links because they aren’t clickable, freezing, lagging, it’s ridiculous. Save your money. 0 stars.
Buggy as hell
The app is Always glitching on my phone and when I try to cast it is absolutely unusable, constantly freezing. Such a shame because the NESN app is not available on most smart TVs so I rely on casting. Don’t bother paying for anything, get the add on with FuboTv
Idea?
Awesome app to use when you’re not home. Too bad it won’t play when your phone is turned off like other apps. Can that be fixed?
WORST STREAMING APP EVER!!
This app is horrible and way over priced for an app that barely works at best! John Henry must have designed it himself.
Worst App
This might be the worst app I’ve ever used. AirPlay does not work for more than 20mins and the app is not compatible on the most popular brand of TV. This is an embarrassment that the Red Sox and Bruins organizations do not invest in a working streaming app
Great way to miss the first 4 innings
If you love joining a live game halfway through with zero ability to rewind or start from the top, this is the app for you! Charging top-dollar for missing basic media player controls from 2010 is a bold business strategy.
Do yourself a favor, get the MLB At Bat app and wait to watch the Red Sox after the game is over.

Horrible Buggy App
This app is infuriating to use. Pretty much a 50% chance I’m actually going to be able to watch the game on any given night without getting an error message in the app. If somehow I’m able to actually get the game on, it’s only after repeatedly signing into my account every time I open the app.
Awful streaming app
Hard to understate just how bad this app is, even more so because it’s a paid app and an expensive one at that. Constantly freezes, minimizes, just an all around terrible experience.
Unusable
Been subscribed for 2 days. After what felt like resetting the app during every commercial, started reading reviews, and seems to be a theme of this app. Unwatchable when casting, freezes nearly every commercial, then the app doesn’t populate recasting options, so you have to close the app, restart and then recast. All the while you’re missing action.
Look at your reviews and maybe fix the issue???

Horrific
NESN treats this app like a privilege not a right. Constantly debating canceling but I love the Sox too much to do so. Just prepare for the worst with this app it absolutely sucks in every way
I can’t even login
This app doesn’t even allow you to login now great
