### 2/5 — Download option!!!!

*2026-05-03, version 0.0.5*

Please give us the option to download for offline replay. Also, get it together with replay quality. So many times with great Internet, the replay quality is trash.

### 2/5 — Two stars

*2026-01-18, version 0.0.5*

Video works sometimes otherwise would have been a one star

### 3/5 — It’s ok app

*2026-01-02, version 0.0.5*

It can’t be open it at Streaming TV app in all its functions.

### 2/5 — Hardly functional

*2025-11-22, version 0.0.5*

Considering this is 2025, this is possibly the worst behaving app I have.

### 3/5 — New viewer

*2025-11-09, version 0.0.5*

I just joined a trial to see if it is better than YouTube channel. I like there not being titled video with spoilers, but wish it was even less spoiler… instead of the players in the match maybe label it Women’s Semi-final. Maybe people like to watch certain rounds of competition. I also wish they wouldn’t do split screen so much. I take the time to choose the game I want to watch and I can’t see it when you do split screen, plus spoiler for other games I want to watch. I don’t mind listening to the interviews during a game, but hate the game being half the screen. It is hard enough to watch the ball on tv. Please just put the interviews is lower corner so we know it is an interview.

### 2/5 — Needs some major upgrades

*2025-07-04, version 0.0.5*

Pickleball TV needs to seriously look at how this is being handled when people are paying monthly. Matches freeze constantly, the stream gets sent back to previous matches, and the loud music OVER the commentators and even the commercials is ridiculous.

### 3/5 — Some good some bad

*2025-06-26, version 0.0.5*

My wife and I watch the matches Thursday through Sunday. The good - works well on our iPhone. We watch recent matches. We cast it to our TV. The bad - no app for Roku, Apple TV app doesn’t update with most recent matches. Video quality is not great.

### 2/5 — Multiple errors

*2025-06-20, version 0.0.5*

Rewind and fast forward function is a nice thing to say they have, but in reality it doesn’t work effectively. If you’re watching it landscape and turn to portrait, the video auto rewinds about 2 hours. Basic things need fixing and for the amount being paid each month I don’t think the app is where it should be. Make changes and fix the bugs, then charge.

### 2/5 — Glitches

*2025-04-25, version 0.0.5*

The section of Live Events sometimes freezes and you can’t scroll to see all the live events. I have to close and reopen the app again 🙄 Also why am I even paying if not all the matches are being posted to see them later in the app? But they are definitely on YouTube make it make sense.

### 1/5 — Need Apple TV app

*2025-04-05, version 0.0.5*

I hope this is in the works. Will wait until then to subscribe.

### 2/5 — Not worth the money

*2025-03-14, version 0.0.5*

glitches, doesn’t show “ALL” courts, and doesn’t work half the time!

### 1/5 — Wait

*2025-02-21, version 0.0.5*

Unless you’re using this app on an iPad don’t waste your time. Won’t even load properly on an iPhone and rarely works on a PC.

### 3/5 — Not on Apple TV

*2025-02-18, version 0.0.5*

I like the app i like how you can see all the different courts I just with it was on Apple TV. I wish it was a little less laggy sometime when I try to reload it and I wish you could see the player pool on the app. Also keep the score right away not after a few points

### 1/5 — Still bugs on ipados 26

*2026-07-08, version 1.1.2*

Come on! Why? Also is it asking too much to actually list what is the current program being shown? I have to sit through commercials to find out???

### 1/5 — App constantly fails

*2026-05-07, version 0.0.5*

I hate opening this app. It rarely works on my Apple TV . It’s constantly crashing and the video quality is always very poor.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2026-02-16, version 0.0.5*

The only reason you may want ot pay for this app is to watch the games live… in bad quality… so nevermind. The video is super low resolution, you can’t watch in slow motion or speed it it up. It freezes in weird moments. If just recently allows landscape mode in the iPad, finally. Hopefully they’ll make the necessary improvements.

### 1/5 — Go to YouTube

*2026-01-18, version 0.0.5*

The AirPlay doesn’t work for recorded videos and the videos aren’t uploaded the day of. Might as well wait a day for it to come out on YouTube instead of paying for the app.

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2025-10-10, version 0.0.5*

Won’t load.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2025-07-12, version 0.0.5*

They expect me to pay $6 a month of. 3rd rate tv app? I just wanted to know the score of the game!

### 1/5 — You need a sound engineer

*2025-05-25, version 0.0.5*

You fools don’t know how to level broadcast with commercials, which is actually an FCC violation. It’s egregious. Hire someone who knows what they’re doing.

### 1/5 — When will pickleballtv get their act together

*2025-05-16, version 0.0.5*

I can't believe that you charge $5.99 a month for this app. For some stupid reason I keep thinking that you'll figure it out. But no.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-05-14, version 0.0.5*

The app rarely even opens.

### 1/5 — False Advertising

*2025-04-24, version 0.0.5*

Terrible app. Not able to view multiple courts simultaneously, as advertised.

### 5/5 — Love Free.

*2025-04-22, version 0.0.5*

Yas!

### 5/5 — Apple TV Compatibility Needed

*2025-03-22, version 0.0.5*

Great experience for the last 2 months I’ve had this! Just wish that I could download this to my Apple TV instead of having to Airplay.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-03-09, version 0.0.5*

This app is really good if you love watching the pros. The landscape view on the iPad has been added. Love the additional content and the organization of the matches.  Love the ability to go back 10 seconds to rewatch a point. The only thing that I think is missing is the ability to choose the playback speed. Sometimes I want to watch at 1.5x and sometimes I would like the ability to watch a shot or a point in slow motion.   Great app!  Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — PBTV is Awesome!!

*2025-02-26, version 0.0.5*

Phenomenal! I can get all of my pro pickleball matches in one place! The UI is great!

### 5/5 — The Go To Place for Pickleball

*2025-01-13, version 0.0.5*

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. It’s an incredible app and brings the game of pickleball to me anywhere. I cannot wait to see what the future advancements of this app look like.  I’ve been a subscriber to PBTV since it was an option and now with an app I’m able to utilize this even more. Well done team.  Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Pickleball Excellence!

*2025-01-06, version 0.0.5*

Looking forward to choosing which matches to watch at this week’s Masters!  Will Airplay to the AppleTV until that version releases but am excited we have an App!!  Thank you PPA Tour and Pickleball.com.

### 4/5 — About the app

*2026-05-31, version 1.1.2*

App is fun but almost everything is paid but the main games are free so it’s pretty good

### 4/5 — Good App but need 1 change

*2025-11-30, version 0.0.5*

I like the auto play feature but it needs to allow a filter option. It would be nice to filter by men’s, women’s, mixed, men’s singles and women’s singles. Plus the ability to flip to oldest first because with auto play it wants to start with the newest which is the finals then play back from there. Who wants to see who’s in the finals and then watch backwards. It would be much nicer to start with round of 64 and move towards the finals in auto play.

### 4/5 — Apple TV

*2025-02-20, version 0.0.5*

I would love an app for the Apple TV. Love the content

### 4/5 — Needs IPad update

*2025-01-08, version 0.0.5*

I know there are a couple other reviews stating the same thing, but we need as many as possible to hopefully get them to make this update ASAP!  When watching on an IPad, there is no Landscape mode on the Home Screen causing navigation to be difficult and a pain to have to turn the IPad vertical, find the game or court you want to watch hit the button and then thankfully the video is horizontal!
