### 4/5 — Awesome App For Keeping Up With Hockey, One Complaint

*2026-08-17, version 16.7.0*

I use this app almost every day during the hockey season! The schedule prevents me from having to search for a schedule on google and risk getting a virus on my device from tapping on links. The amount of features are impressive. Top players to watch for the upcoming game, the goaltending stats, and the next games between those two teams to name just a few. The roster is, personally, the best part but it’s also the worst part right now. The app tends to glitch, at least for me, after almost every update. It was the schedule that didn’t work before but this time, it’s the roster. It doesn’t let me go back any seasons at all, which it’s meant to. I recommend getting that fixed. The problem is usually solved within a few days or one update but this is taking its time. App is recommended though!

### 2/5 — Crash

*2026-07-30, version 16.6.1*

Please fix crash issue. When opened, it just sits on logo screen for 30 seconds and then crashes. Will not open. Already deleted and reinstalled and still the same.

### 3/5 — Too many adds and promotions!

*2026-06-17, version 16.6.0*

I love the app, it’s great and I check it every day. However, lately I’m seeing more and more adds and promotions in every corner. Please don’t ruin the app by polluting it everywhere with flashy and intrusive adds — please keep it reasonable or you will lose viewers like me.  If it adds would be kept to a minimum, I would give this app 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Privacy options

*2026-06-10, version 16.6.0*

I have to reject cookies anew every day.  Can we please just keep my cookie setting requests persistent!!

### 3/5 — playoffs format issue and refresh

*2026-05-16, version 16.6.0*

No joke, this is my favourite app but the fact that all regular season stats just disappear once the playoffs start is just infuriating and so impractical. Also, if it could be possible to lighten/darken the eliminated teams from the playoffs in the team and player stats just like in the bracket could make the app so much better cause now it is just confusing. In addition to that, I find the app in general kinda slow to update score and points/stats live during a game (differential, assists mentions, live activities score, etc.) and the general stats take a while to update after a game is over too. Please fix these, it would make the app 100% better!

### 2/5 — Replays

*2026-05-13, version 16.6.0*

In the last two seasons the NHL app has cut the replays to end 1 second after the puck goes in the net. No break down, no replay. They are getting lazy.

### 2/5 — Give us the full replay too

*2026-05-01, version 16.5.2*

NHL. You guys need to go back to showing the goals scored but then giving us like 30 seconds of replay after that. Not just “he scores!” And then cut… bring the full clip back immediately.

### 5/5 — Tableau des séries

*2026-04-30, version 16.5.2*

Il est rendu où????

### 3/5 — Ok

*2026-04-28, version 16.5.2*

The app is good, but the condensed games and replays dont show the fights.  Therefore i go to sport net for all the recaps which is inconvenient

### 4/5 — Love the play-by-play

*2026-04-28, version 16.5.2*

Play by play is easily my favorite feature. It works for any game. I’ve even used it at the rink before while watching a live game. 
I’d like to see a “news” section but the play by play and the radio functions alone make this free app worth it.

### 2/5 — TV app starts recaps at last second

*2026-04-22, version 16.5.1*

Since the latest update, the TV app starts the game recaps at the last second of the clip, and you need to click “start from the beginning” every time, needing to be quick enough to pause it first before another ad starts. Annoying and reveals the score / outcome prematurely.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — NHL staff ignorant

*2026-07-16, version 16.6.1*

Hard to read when staff makes obvious errors. Today, for just one example, staff writes Cutter Gauthier might get an offer sheet.  He is ineligible for one. DUH.🙄 Do better.

### 1/5 — Love Hockey

*2026-06-03, version 16.6.0*

Can improve the TV?
very hard to follow the puck on television.  
Can you use AI to highlight the puck so that we can watch it better on television?

### 1/5 — Cookie settings

*2026-05-28, version 16.6.0*

New update or whatever they have done is ridiculous. Can’t read an article without being smashed by the cookie settings pop up.

### 1/5 — Cookies

*2026-05-21, version 16.6.0*

App consistently asks for cookie permission? I am using the app, not the website, so why are you asking?

### 1/5 — Roster Doesn’t Load

*2026-05-09, version 16.5.2*

Sure would be nice to look at individual players in the roster during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but player pages don’t load. Insanely frustrating. This app used to be good.

### 1/5 — Apple TV

*2026-05-08, version 16.5.2*

Ever since the last update the Apple TV app is horrendous. Audio drops out mid replay. The ui stays on the screen while watching clips. App was way better before this update. Love the iPhone and iPad versions. But please do something about this.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-08, version 16.5.2*

WTF happened? No more highlights? No more condensed games?

### 1/5 — Ads filling the screen?

*2026-05-04, version 16.5.2*

If I get video ads filling my screen with TJ Oshie when I scroll down, I am gonna be deleting this app very soon.

### 1/5 — Great League, Bad App

*2026-04-29, version 16.5.2*

Please fix the Apple TV app. There are too many basic playback bugs for an app representing a major professional sports league.

Videos often start at the end instead of the beginning. The scroll/progress bar sometimes never disappears, leaving the entire video with a dark tint over it. Those are just a couple examples, but the overall Apple TV experience is frustrating and unreliable.

I have been trying to get friends into hockey and recommended the app as a good place to start. Unfortunately, the feedback I have received, and what I have seen firsthand, is that the app is a poor experience.

If the league is serious about growing the game, the app needs to feel professional, polished, and easy to use. With the amount of sponsorship money visible across the league, there is no excuse for such a rough product. The NFL would never tolerate an app experience this bad, and the NHL should not either.

### 1/5 — Sportsnet plus is garbage

*2026-03-30, version 16.4.3*

The NHL app isn’t bad but please do something about the garbage Sports et plus app for your games in Canada. It’s borderline not usable with so many glitches. Frustrated since the switch the Sportsnet back in 2022/23. Please don’t let it continue for another 5 years.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Go blues!

*2026-07-31, version 16.6.1*

Love this app shows scores of all of the NHL games and which channels they’re on.

### 5/5 — article titles “bad”

*2026-07-21, version 16.6.1*

editorial style where every article title includes a 1-3 word quote called “ridiculous”

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-25, version 16.6.1*

NHL keeps me updated with the next games are about to play and it shows the standings and players

### 5/5 — C’est vraiment cool

*2026-06-22*

Je trouve que c’est vraiment une app très utile pour les fans de hockey avec plein de stats, des sites pour regarder ou écouter
Bref vraiment cool et complet

### 5/5 — NHL. Your Home for Hockey. NHL Interactive Cyberenterprises, LLC.

*2026-06-18, version 16.6.0*

NHL. Your Home for Hockey. NHL Interactive Cyberenterprises, LLC.

### 5/5 — Team goal songs

*2026-06-15, version 16.6.0*

For the team goal songs, some are good, but some are… not as good as I was expecting. Like Philly sounds like Boston? And San Jose’s horn sounds like a ship horn. New Jersey’s horn is so loud.
But Montreal, Minnesota, and Chicago are 10/10.
Please fix some of the team horns

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-07, version 16.6.0*

Love this app helps me keep track of things and I love checking stats of players

### 5/5 — Amazing app just signs me out

*2026-05-14, version 16.6.0*

When the season ends it signs me out and at the beginning of every season I have to sign back in it would be a great help if you guys could and would fix this issue (kinda optional) but otherwise five stars all the way keep up the great work guys thanks for the great app bye.

### 5/5 — Live (s) notification on lock screen

*2026-05-07, version 16.5.2*

The live notifications feature on the app doesn’t work , I’ve been told it’s not my internet and it’s a app issue

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2026-05-02, version 16.5.2*

I’ve been using this app for a little while now and I’m very satisfied with how user friendly it is, you can put your favorite team on the front of the app witch is really awesome and check the schedule of your team though the season
