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! ### 3/5 — 🙂/😕 =? *2020-07-18, version 2.6.1* 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. :) ### 3/5 — It’s got all your OWL needs but kind of buggy *2020-05-24, version 2.6.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Good content, bad app *2020-02-10, version 2.5.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Keeps logging me out , asks for permissions *2020-02-05, version 2.5.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Hide results *2019-05-14, version 2.3.0* 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 ### 3/5 — Needs Improvement *2019-04-12, version 2.1.8* 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 ### 4/5 — Excellent App. Couple issues. *2019-03-08, version 2.1.5* 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... ### 3/5 — Needs some help *2019-02-15, version 2.1.0* As I recall, you used to be able to use this app to look at players on teams. Now I can’t seem to find that information anywhere. This was a huge part of the functionality for this app for me. It should be easier to get to each teams ‘splash page’ which should have the players listed. I would also really like this app to be able to have player profiles- so their names are clickable and we could see personal stats. With the newest update it seems to crash a lot, and has trouble loading pages. I’m having these issues on both WiFi and off. Last, notifications don’t seem to be working reliably so that’s kind of a bummer as well. ### 4/5 — Would Love to See Widget Support *2019-02-03, version 2.0.5* Overall I love the OWL app. Fairly clean and simple UI, easy app navigation, and supports links to various outlets such as the Fanatics shop, arena tickets, and more. What I would absolutely love to see is widget support for live and current games and the scores, somewhat like the ESPN widget. It would provide a quality-of-life functionality for quick and easy access to scores without the hassle of loading into the application every single time. Definitely would make the app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! ### 4/5 — Wonderful! *2018-11-25, version 1.9.0* This is a great app that neatly organizes everything I love about Overwatch league. This is a wonderfully helpful app and please still get it when I say this but sometimes I open the app and my phone immediately shuts down and my touch screen won’t work. It’s and easy fix to reset my phone but it’s just annoying. Assuming the developers could get that fixed this app would be perfect. Other than that I love the app. Go Outlaws!! ### 4/5 — Wonderful except for one thing *2018-05-20, version 1.5.0* I’ve loved this app since day one and it’s just gotten better. The only thing I have some gripes with, aside from the video rewind that happens, is that it will randomly log me out of my account without telling me. I’ve missed matches from the teams I root for because it’s logged itself out and it therefore won’t alert me when a match has started. Please fix! Aside from that, it’s awesome. ### 4/5 — Needs a bug fix *2018-04-20, version 1.4.2* I really enjoy the app and enjoy being able to watch VODs when I am unable to watch live. However, there are a couple of glaring issues that may make me delete it altogether. There are times while watching where it will briefly rewind and the same frame will replay two or three times in a row. There are also more recently issues with the video completely starting at the beginning. It has done this multiple times and it is very frustrating. I love the app honestly so please fix these issues. Thank you and go NYXL!! ### 3/5 — Needs work *2018-04-15, version 1.4.0* This app serves its main function, but there’s a ton of bugs including: When live-streaming a game, the video turns black and crashes. This doesn’t happen when you’re streaming the game from the twitch app. When you’re watching past vods, the video usually restarts without any prompt to do so. Constant crashes on the app for whatever reason. Blizzard please fix this app, then I’d give it a higher rating. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t support Bliz *2019-10-09, version 2.4.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Feels unfinished *2021-03-01, version 3.1.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Crashes lots and never tells you when you get signed out *2020-07-24, version 2.6.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Needs a revamp *2020-06-21, version 2.6.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Here for tokens only. *2020-06-14, version 2.6.1* 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. ### 2/5 — I love the premise, and OWL, but please fix the technical problems *2020-02-10, version 2.5.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Needs some serious work *2018-05-06, version 1.5.0* The app is well formatted, but it is almost impossible to do anything on it. I don’t know if it’s a connection issue with the servers or the app just being very slow, but it takes at least 30 seconds for anything to pop up when switching tabs or opening the app (Current scores of games, rankings, etc). Also, watching games live is too frustrating to even try because it will exit out of the player every 10 seconds and pause the game. Overall this app has some great potential, but not in its current state. ### 2/5 — Usually Great, But This Version Crashes Constantly *2018-04-20, version 1.4.2* The app has previously worked mostly like a charm for me. But for some reason this version crashes almost every time I use it. I'll open it, load a stream, and switch to another app briefly. When I try to switch back to the OWL app, it reliably crashes at that point. Same if I start a stream and then try to go back to the home menu of the app. It has also started resuming audio when I leave the OWL app but then open another app. I'll give this the five star rating I think it deserves once these issues are fixed (hopefully soon!). Also, in case the devs are reading this, please make match notifications happen when the match is actually going to start, not just at the "estimated" time. Thanks for all your hard work! ### 2/5 — Constantly having to reinstall *2018-02-26, version 1.2.1* This app works great- when it actually works. This is the sixth time I’ve had to completely delete the app from my phone and re-download it; which is a pain when all I want to do is receive notifications when my favorite teams are playing. If I use almost any other function of the app, it crashes perpetually. This time I’m going to re-enter my info (for the seventh time) and keep it closed for good so I can just get the alerts. I love the overwatch league, blizzard, please just fix the app! ### 2/5 — I love the app, but the new update crashes it for me *2018-02-24, version 1.2.1* Before the newest update that added a lot of features like being able to buy tickets directly on the app, it was working great. After the update, the app crashes as soon as I open it. This is probably my phone because it is pretty old and can't update past IOS 10.3.3, but this is the only way I know how to view which teams are playing day-to-day so I would greatly appreciate it if the update team could fix this, thank you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I have an request *2020-07-24, version 2.6.1* 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 😁 ### 5/5 — Good app, but... *2020-06-26, version 2.6.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Needs just a couple fixes *2018-08-12, version 1.7.5* My biggest problem was that, before the Grand Finals, the app signed me out, so while watching the final matches I didn’t get any league tokens, and was told there was no way to be reimbursed for the lost tokens. Aside from that, the video quality is amazing and the interface is very user friendly. I would love to have a button that allowed streaming to smart TV’s, though I know that’s a lot of work. ### 5/5 — Differential addition *2018-05-01, version 1.5.0* I really liked the app but found myself still going to the website to get better standings info. This addition is actually game changing. App went from 4 to 5 stars. Good enough of a change for me to want to write a review for a first time. Now can we have an option to toggle division leaders from the playoffs tab? ### 5/5 — Great app with a few bugs *2018-01-17, version 1.0.3* I love this app and am following the Fusion and Dynasty. The app is great for tracking when the games are and the team standing but trying to use the actual video feature of the app does not work. When I go to watch a game the video page gets pulled up but where the video is supposed to be is just black. I don’t know if it’s my phone (6s) or just the app. ### 5/5 — Great app, excited for the league *2018-01-10, version 1.0.0* I'm really excited for ow, one thing I hope they add is player stats where you can click on a player and see how they are doing while the game is going on and overall through out the season and also like he role they play for their team. I like the direction the app is going tho. ### 4/5 — Not bad... *2020-08-09, version 2.7.1* 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 ### 4/5 — Mostly good but few issues *2020-08-08, version 2.7.1* 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 ### 4/5 — Not updated *2020-03-19, version 2.5.4* 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. ### 4/5 — Hide scores.... *2019-04-13, version 2.2.0* 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... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
