Great app, with issues

I have been using this app for a while, and I think it is really good. But there is a massive issue that is just bad especially for people who like OWL but don’t have time to watch every match, I support Florida mayhem and watch most of their matches, yesterday they went up against San Francisco shock, Florida won 3 - 1, now the app should show that it was Florida vs San Francisco. But it doesn’t, it shows that it was Florida vs Washington. (Florida are playing Washington today) for people who don’t watch every match might not know that what they see isn’t right, now this doesn't happen all of the time but it still happens and that is just not good. Then there is the obvious issue of it randomly logging you out, sure it is annoying but it doesn’t ruin the whole app. Bye!

Feels unfinished

The app feels unfinished after years of being live. When you expect to tap a team icon and get taken to their page it does nothing. Information in constantly out of date. Between seasons they should hide rosters until official announcements and then reveal them once teams are locked. Instead they have some teams with ONE player (who is contracted to another team).

Hope it gets better. Simple improvements could go such a long way.

Not bad...

This is overall a pretty mediocre app. Okay layout, fine leaderboards, alright system in general, but there are a couple annoying things. the “earn rewards” button does not do anything, which makes me wonder if I’m earning tokens or not, there is no individual player profiles, and there is annoying bug where if you turn your screen sideways during a live match, the app crashes. Despite all this, it’s a pretty good platform to watch live Overwatch league and I would (mostly) recommend it to any fans

Mostly good but few issues

The app is really good and used for overwatch streams and watching streams can earn you tokens but sometimes right when a stream starts the app gets really laggy and sometimes it randomly logs your account out and you can tell unless you click your profile info this is a issue because you can’t tell if your watching to earn tokens but that pretty much it the rest is fine

Crashes lots and never tells you when you get signed out

Watching video is a pain. It crashes if you rotate your device to go to full screen and then leave it.

Starting a video usually results in an ad you can’t ever skip or go full screen. All you can do is play/pause. So I have to actually watch it before I can set it up and lock my phone into full screen to prevent the crash described above. If I could at least go full screen so I could lock it it would be much nicer.

The app also doesn’t tell you or have any sort of indication that you have been signed out. So you miss out on tokens unless you double check that you are signed in each time you launch the app.

If these things were fixed it would be a solid and great app. As is it is a bit miserable.

I have an request

I love this app and it is well made! You did amazing on overwatch as well and you’ve got me hooked, but I have a small request. Can you guys make a thing of which you can view hero’s damage, health, abilities, bios, and all customizations? That would be so cool and useful! I’m trying to get my little brother into playing overwatch and I want him to be able to know everything about the heros before he gets the game. Thank you so much for your amazing game blizzard and bringing me so much joy, and keep up the good work. Thanks for considering 😁

🙂/😕 =?

I honestly really confused, it wouldn’t let me sign in. I click sign in with blizard, and then I try clicking allow website, but then when I click it, it does nothing. :( Though, I love Overwatch, and its a great game, it honestly is really cool that you can watch videos for tokens. The Overwatch league is super fun to watch, and I love supporting my team. I love Overwatch, though I am a little bummed that I can’t log in for the time being... Overwatch is a great game, and I really like to though of this app. :)

Good app, but...

I think this is a great app so you can watch the Overwatch League on the go. I just have a few problems. My first problem is that a couple days ago, I was logged into my Blizzard account and I was watching the league live, for an hour and a half, but I never got my league tokens. I was confused because it says you get 5 tokens per hour of watching the league. Another problem is the button in the menu that says ‘Earn Rewards.’ When I click on that, nothing happens. You would think it’s how you get your tokens, or it says how you do, or some sort of explanation on rewards, when really, it does absolutely nothing. My last problem is that there is no option to be able to check how long we actually have been watching the league for. Because I could’ve been wrong how long I was watching, but I don’t know, it doesn’t say! Please fix these problems asap so no one else has to deal with them.

Needs a revamp

I was excited to earn tokens, but it turns out all of the hours I spent watching amounted to nothing. I wasn’t signed in because I had to restart the app. Why? When I checked the time on my phone, the stream would stop. I would hit play again, and the stream would restart, but it would remain zoomed in on the upper left corner or on the center, and the only fix I could find was to exit and re enter the app. I love the content, but the app needs a little work.

Here for tokens only.

The app has a lot of good info on the league, but that’s about it. Honestly your better off just using your web browser half the time. The app crashes about every 20 minutes when I’m watching a stream. Also, who’s dumb idea was it to play the ad every single time you rejoin the stream. Even after leaving for less than 5 seconds to send a quick text. Honestly starting to hate T-Mobile from this overexposure.

It’s got all your OWL needs but kind of buggy

Ok, so, I’m super happy to be able to get OWL tokens again - that’s fantastic! Cannot be understated how big that is, and we know the team’s been hard at work to make it happen.

The app, on the whole however, is too sensitive if that makes sense. It bugs when you shift your phone from vertical to horizontal too many times, and any time you exit the app, even to make a setting change like disabling portrait mode, or making your screen brighter, or checking something on another app during game breaks, it treats the stream like you just entered the video again. That’s kind of annoying. It’s not a very responsive way of interacting with the video stream. I wish it just stayed on and the app just tracked whenever you were actively on it or not. Idk if that’s possible, it just is annoying trying to check something real quick and then need to rewatch the 15sec ad just to come back into the may melee.

Not updated

I used love this app back for the 2029 season, however since the start of the 2020 season they haven’t updated the standing or scheduling since the new season started. They update the news feed with recent stuff so I’m not understanding why I can only see the last two seasons on the standing and schedule omg it’s really annoying since this is where I used to watch most of the matches and found out when they were being played.

Good content, bad app

The app shows all the content it’s supposed to and I have no problems with that, but it’s annoying because I have to login to my Blizzard account every time I open the app. The app should be able to remember me and stay logged in when I open it. It seriously frustrates me to no end every time I have to open the app. I tried logging in, closing the app and opening it back up immediately and I have to login again. And the hide scores feature has been buggy for me in that it hides scores when I don’t want it or won’t let me see all the details with the scores. I’m only rating it as high as 3 stars because it has a nice UI and the app is pretty easy to get around, but it’s incredibly buggy.

For example there’s one feature I just noticed that when you’re looking at game scores you can see a kinda faded eye thing with a cross through it that I imagine is supposed to cover the scores when you have hide scores active, but is still visible when it’s not active. Instead of going away like it should it just overlaps the scores and looks bad and it annoys me.

I love the premise, and OWL, but please fix the technical problems

Two things I’ve noticed so far:
1. When you exit full screen and go back into it, the frame sticks as the smallest form you view it at. For example, if I was watching theater mode (horizontal phone) and then put my phone vertical, and then went back, it will stay in the smaller vertical form even in theater.
2. Every time I exit the app but leave it open, my account stays logged in, but once I close the app, I have to log back in every time.
Easy 5 stars if this was addressed, it’s just these small things that make it difficult to want to watch on this platform.

Keeps logging me out , asks for permissions

1. Keeps logging me out. Have to log in each time I open it.
2. Keeps asking me to update permissions when I tap to follow a team from the hub. Have already given it permission to push notifications.
3. Would be nice to have a “League has Started” overall notification on match day when the broadcast starts. I don’t want to follow every team just to get notified the first match has started.

Don’t support Bliz

Blizzard Entertainment is a terrorist organization that supports the suppression of speech and severe maiming and killing of innocents on the streets.

For those not aware, a winner of a recent Hearthstone tournament said "Free Hong Kong" in an interview following their victory. In response, Activision-Blizzard chose to revoke the winnings, ban the winner from tournaments, and fire the interviewers.

This is the equivalent of an American company supporting Hitler during WW2. And I most CERTAINLY don't mean that in the hyperbolic, throw it around because we don't like your politics, kind of way... I mean it very seriously and literally. This is outright evil and they know it.

Hide results

Overall like the app. But would recommend that the “hide results” feature actually hide the results of each map in a series too. It’s pretty easy to see instantly who won a match when you got to select the map vods and it has a score in bold next to the map name. Just say “map 1: busan” or “map 3: kings row” and don’t show the giant numbers indicating the score. It’s nice that you cover it up at the top but if you don’t cover it up below you’re still spoiling it folks

Hide scores....

Great app, all the updating over the last year has made it run a lot smoother. ONE BIG COMPLAINT!!! I don’t always get to see the matches live so I tried to do hide scores so I can watch later and not know who won. Problem is..... you hit watch video and it pulls up the map list WITH THE SCORES!!! Fix that. Hide scores means hide the overall score AND map scores....thanks.

Edit: Apparently after updating you have to take the setting off then put it back on to make it work correctly. Leaving this up Incase someone else needs that info.

Edit 2: okay I was wrong... if you click “watch” on the right you get map scores. If you click the team names on the left you don’t. Still needs to be fixed if you have hide scores selected...

Needs Improvement

The app is ok... I only use it to check the schedules because it never keeps me logged in and when I do watch it live it always freezes... this app definitely needs improvements. It’d also be nice to be more interactive like having player hero stats for heros they’ve played or maybe even like overall stats for heros played, like click brig and see the stats of like top 10 brig players

Excellent App. Couple issues.

It’s clean, it works, it’s for everyone. I currently live in Japan and often miss the live games because I’m working or it’s too early. This app is great because I can find the recording for games without the score being spoiled for me. I love it!

The app should have easier access to players and their stats, similar to the website.. It also should provide links or methods to open up videos of past games directly in an external app... I hate trying to find games and potentially spoiling the score because I want to watch on a bigger screen instead of my phone.

The iPad version also needs a rework. It’s literally the phone app with a zoom button...
