Shameful Quality
Consistently dropping and stuttering. Please, please address the casting quality, it’s killing the experience.
Poor
A lot of money for a rubbish app
Shocking app
By far the worst streaming app I’ve ever come across. Utterly embarrassing to have the rights to so much top level sport and not provide it properly for fans. Ridiculous
Known issues still remain after all these years
Returned back after 2 years still this app on iOS can’t get the screen orientation right when watching in landscape , still watching some sport the screen just suddenly stops streaming or live broadcast no buffering just stops . Watching on the website is a big improvement . Your putting all this money into the sports rights for rugby Scottish football international football and nascar how about finding a app developer that can build or fix the player app on IOS

Irritating app
The app continually pings up the cookie accept or reject page. It’s happened about 30 times in the last hour. App is updated to the latest version and I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch. Annoying as hell
Poor Application
A high cost subscription for an app that rarely works and is very clunky. Such a shame as a lot of the sports content is great
Very poor performance
Given that Premier Sports hold the streaming rights for some major sporting competitions, this app is not up to the standard it should be. I have used this ipadOS app on and off for about 3 years and there has been no noticeable effort to improve the user experience during that time.
As other reviews have stated, upon opening the main screen is set to portrait- quite bizarre for a video based app - this only changes once you load a show - so if you have your iPad on a stand, you will need a neck like a flamingo to comfortably adjust between views!
The even bigger problem than that though, is if you dare to pause your show mid-play or your screen turns off, etc...you will have to restart the programme from the beginning else all you will see is 'preparing video for playback' which typically goes on indefinitely. When you do restart and try to move to your last position then dont move forward in big increments else it will hang again. This applies to both live shows and replays: incredibly frustrating for a paid streaming app.
If it wasn't for the fact they hold the monopoly to URC, Top 14 and European Rugby Cups then I would ditch them in a heartbeat.

Anyone considered user experience!!!
Of all streaming services i use this has to be the most irritating.
I must be on the 20th ‘link my tv’ of the season which is required every time i watch something of god forbid move to a different room. I can only hope some other provider buys the champions cup for future years.

Unusable
Can’t believe this is a professional sport app. It loads the wrong games, constantly buffers (irrelevant of internet speed), can’t skip on accurately, I could go on, cancelling.
Crashes On Demand
Trying to watch the rugby and the app either fails to start the match completely or force closes. I did manage to get 2mins of game and then it crashed again. Commentary is pretty pants too.
Disappointing
Very disappointing. Could be great but appears very little care has gone into it. Currently all today’s on demand games appear available but won’t play, just says source unavailable. Streaming quality is pretty low too when things do work. Would pay double if more effort was put into the platform.
Dreadful app
I took out a Premier Sports subscription to watch their Champions cup coverage, and whilst the rugby is professionally delivered, the viewing experience through the app is dreadful. It is decades behind other apps (e.g TNT), with the playback functionality especially poor, and often not loading for me. I often have my live coverage interrupted by a notification to accept cookies. Please sort this all out

Simply awful
If you wanna watch on your TV through airplay, good luck it’s not gonna work properly for about 10 attempts.
If you want to watch on your phone good luck as it’s gonna keep sending you the cookie pop up every 2 mins.
Simply not a good app

Written by a 12 year old
This app is by far the worst player I’ve ever come across. When watching a match other than live you will become familiar with the “Preparing video for playback” screen, which means 50% of the time it will not restart. If that wasn’t bad enough, when you eventually give up and close the video, there’s no option to restart from where you’d got to. An app out of the 19th century.

Can’t cast or screen mirror
Everytime I try to screen mirror and massive black block covers half the screen saying casting and won’t go, and when I try to cast it says no devices found, every other app works, waste of money and missed the NASCAR now, rubbish
Fix the bugs
If you choose the option to “watch from start “ it never works! It will put you right into the live game.
But, upside is the subscription cost is good for what you get.
For that it gets 4 stars.

Worst sports app ever
This really is dreadful for the cost. You can only watch on one device at a time, so if your partner wants to watch something while you want to watch something else, you can’t. You are also forced to watch adverts especially when watching on demand stuff. For over £100 a year this is very poor.
The coverage itself is ok, nothing special but the app keeps stalling and resetting itself, then you have to go through the sign in process again using your phone.
Absolute garbage.
No wonder people are buying chipped Fire sticks if this rubbish is the alternative.

I would give zero stars if I could
The app is not fit for purpose. It would not work on my smart TV, so I cancelled my subscription, and because they need 30 days notice, I got billed for 2 months of an app I couldn’t use. Avoid at all costs.
No landscape view
The app opens on portrait view. Cannot seen to get it to switch to landscape.
