Also start carrying Coach Izzo’s pressers after every game. He is the Coach so I want to hear his thoughts on the team and his interactions with the media. Best stuff yo know about the team. Thanks ### 5/5 — Jim Kocher *2019-05-27* Daily I read the updates Very important part of my reading Thanks much ### 5/5 — MSU BASKETBALL *2017-07-03, version 3.6.1* Great way to keep up with Spartans when you don't live in Michigan ### 5/5 — Great *2016-11-15, version 3.6.1* App very robust never crashes good content on my awesome Michigan State Spartans ### 5/5 — The best msu app to stay up to date! *2016-11-10, version 3.6.1* Mlive always keeps me up to date and notifies me of the latest news about my favorite team!

However M Live MSU BB needs more than one writer AND needs to fix the scheduling information in order for me to want to keep this App on my phone! ### 1/5 — Very Disappointing! *2020-12-27* No longer has Standings and Schedule information. I used to love this app, but deleted it recently. Will check back to see if they have fixed any of these issues. In the meantime, I will look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Basketball app that only talks about football *2020-12-18* What happened?! No Spartan basketball news anymore just Spartan football on the basketball app. Spartan football app shows same stories but in a different format - NO BASKETBALL at all!😡 ### 1/5 — Not basketball *2020-12-16* I want news about Spartans basketball. This app was updated and hijacked by Spartans football news. What is going on? ### 1/5 — Should be easier *2019-12-22* Most of the time I’m looking for the last BB game played and the next game to be played and their W-L record. Stories are 2’nd or maybe a distant 3’rd. I do not live where MSU information is easily gotten. Make it simple ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2013-10-27, version 1.2.3.0* This app crashes every time you open in the new iOS 7.0.3 ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPhone 5s *2013-10-26, version 1.2.3.0* Won't load on iPhone 5s. Crashes every time ### 1/5 — Annoying banner ads are too much *2013-10-09, version 1.2.3.0* I don't mind banner ads but when they are animated and on a small screen then the app is history. The Bleacher Report app is much better and has the same content. ### 2/5 — Spartan Basketball Update *2021-11-18* I updated my basketball for Spartans but now i can’t get scores, schedules, etc and has a lot of football—I have a separate football app ### 2/5 — Timely news *2019-05-29* News on this app is frequently days late... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Go Green ! *2020-11-17* AWESOME! ### 5/5 — Great place For Spartan basketball news *2020-02-04* For some reason The national media does not give Michigan State basketball respect this sight is Trevor trove of inside information ### 5/5 — Steve O *2019-10-02* Always good news and views ### 5/5 — M live MSU Hoops *2019-08-23* I love this app. I get all my spartan b-ball news first here. ### 5/5 — 96 Alum *2019-06-05* Excited to see the new talent. And the returning Likely #1 pre season Let’s be #1 at the end ### 5/5 — Go Green!!! *2019-06-04* Love all the stories ### 5/5 — Dat interface doe *2019-05-29* Love the content but the interface could use a bit of an upgrade just a bit dated which isn’t saying much cuz well internet ### 5/5 — M Live MSU Hoops *2019-05-28* Great way to stay in touch w/ the latest news on our Spartans! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-05-28* Great app for MAU sports ### 5/5 — Updates *2019-05-28* Best way to keep current on MSU hoops. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
