Sick of everyone nickel and diming us to death! Not worth it!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Put schedule back up! *2019-10-27* That would at least get you to a two ### 1/5 — Crashing *2013-10-28* The football app was updated due to the crashing on ios 7.0.3.... It's almost basketball season and I need my daily helping of 'Cuse basketball! Please fix!!!!! ### 2/5 — Too much subscription only content *2020-11-27* Half the articles are now subscription only. Puhlease. Pay to read local reporters talking about college kids? No thanks. Also ads have slowed the app down too much. Go back to the way it used to be. ### 2/5 — did a five year old develop this ? *2012-12-21* not good ### 3/5 — Good app but new slideshows don't work well *2016-01-25* I've been following SU basketball from the app ever since it existed and have always loved it until this season. This season, many of my favorite articles, such as the Brent Axe recap (an others) are now in this terrible slideshow format which does not load well on my iPhone 4s (if it loads at all). Even when I view the slideshows on my new iPad, while they load more consistently, the user experience is still far worse than with normal articles. Please bring back normal articles and please ditch the slideshows! Sometimes new is better and sometimes it is worse; this time it is worse. I would rate it 5 stars if you got rid of those slide shows. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Rabid Fan from Massena area *2019-05-29, version 3.7.15* I read the Syr.com basketball articles on a daily basis and have the apps for Syr.com Basketball, football and general news(even though I live 140 miles north...your news is MORE interesting!!😊 I, for the most part, like the app... I always thirst for more though!! What I would really like more of are the "personal stories" behind the players and, as much as possible, the recruits! It really helps me understand them better and helps me form more of a "bond" with the players...but not in the "creepy fan" sort of way!!😊🏀🏈🏀🏈 ### 4/5 — Great, Functional app for 'Cuse Fans *2015-02-15* Great for a 'Cuse basketball fan. Functional app with many elements addressed such as current roster, news, schedule, and social media outlets. However 2 things it lacks is 1) am attractive format. 2) Stats. Providing individual and team stats would be a pleasant addition. Plain and simple it's a great app, best overall app for 'CuseNation. ### 5/5 — Up date ? *2026-08-12* Great app until I got the up date sign . Now I have nothing . ### 5/5 — Bleeding Orange *2020-04-03* I love this app on my phone! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good only if it works! *2019-10-06* Never works ### 5/5 — This link has no content *2019-09-26* So it should not have any rating. ### 5/5 — Syracuse basketball *2019-09-20* Best site for Syracuse basketball. As long as it remains free... ### 5/5 — Love the site *2019-08-28* The best ### 5/5 — Fun to read *2019-06-14* Good site for fans ### 5/5 — Buffalo Would like to see some coverage of the Buffalo program Like opinions on the new coach *2019-05-30* Would like to see some coverage of the Buffalo program and the new coach. I know it is not in Syracuse but since it is UPSTATE NY and the program is on the rise why not. ### 5/5 — Orange Basketball *2019-05-26* I think the Orange Basketball app is a great way to keep up on the latest news regarding everything Orange! ### 5/5 — Good *2016-09-30* Good place to get my SU hoops fix! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
