Takes several attempts to open typically because it says im not authorized, crashes often, and freezes just as often. ### 2/5 — Can No Longer Log In *2026-05-11, version 4.19* I used to really enjoy this app. I particularly used it when I was away from home. So I could watch the game or I could watch pre-and post game shows whatever. All of a sudden it started giving me an error message that it couldn’t play content when I was away from my home Internet. Which does not work for me more often than not that’s when I’m using the app when I’m at home I can just watch television. So I tried reinstalling the app on both my iPhone, and on my iPad, where this was happening on both devices. And now I just can’t login at all. It doesn’t do anything. Really unfortunate. ### 1/5 — Can't even Sign In *2025-11-19, version 4.17* It's been over a year now and there has been a bug to "Sign In" into the app just to watch blocked content, such as Live games. Horrible app; clearly no one is managing it or maintaining it. ### 1/5 — Cast issue *2025-11-13, version 4.15.2* Cant google cast to tv just a black screen. Only plays when on mobile not cast/airplay ### 2/5 — Commercials *2025-05-16, version 4.15* Whoever is managing the Sportsnet LA commercial frequency is doing a lazy job. While using the subscription through the MLB app, commercial breaks occur in the middle of innings as if it’s an automated frequency. Paying for a subscription, you would think they’d just livestream the Sportsnet LA cable broadcast over onto the subscription livestream, but they don’t. I know this because this was never an issue when we did have cable. ### 1/5 — AirPlay *2025-05-01, version 4.14.1* Fix airplay please. It does not work when I try to screen share ### 1/5 — Doesnt give me content I paid for *2025-04-27, version 4.14.1* I signed up for the Lakers package. They gave me the Dodgers. Customer service has no idea how to help and tried to claim this isn’t app. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever? *2025-04-23, version 4.14.1* Nothing works, nothing loads, you can sign out! But you can’t sign back in. Website is useless, app is useless. Can’t watch anything without “credentials lost” ### 1/5 — Fake *2025-04-09, version 4.14.1* App doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Sign in issue *2025-04-06, version 4.14.1* I used this app in the 2024 dodger season and it worked great, however coming into the 2025 season im not able to see the games because it doesnt let me sign in. I tap the sign in button and no pop up comes up in either the button in the home page or the sign up button in the settings. ### 1/5 — Broken AirPlay *2025-04-05, version 4.14.1* Not sure if my last review posted so I’m posting AGAIN! the casting/airplay option no longer works! Please fix this! ### 1/5 — Live Games are 2-3 days old. Not live. *2025-04-02, version 4.14.1* This is so ridiculous. The “live” games are from 2 or 3 days ago. The dumbest thing Ive ever seen a sports app do. ### 1/5 — AirPlay doesn’t work anymore *2025-04-01, version 4.14.1* Have reset my TV and phone several times. No longer works ### 1/5 — Why take away AirPlay? *2025-03-26, version 4.14* Use to stream to my tv when home but no longer. Thanks Spectrum, great choice. ### 1/5 — A buggy app *2025-03-24, version 4.14* When it asks for TV providers it has an option for more and when you click it it just sends you back to the normal screen. Such a buggy and broken app. Please fix that and then I’ll reinstall the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes regularly on spectrum‘s network *2026-07-26, version 4.20.1* Unstable and buggy. ### 1/5 — No Mobile *2026-04-30, version 4.18* If you travel and want to watch a game it’s not available. What’s the point of a MOBILE APP if you can’t watch your favorite team when you are out of town ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in *2026-04-14, version 4.18* Had no problems but it’s been glitching lately and now I’m signed out and can’t sign in. Fix it ### 1/5 — No idea how this app has close to 5 star rating *2026-04-03, version 4.17* Can’t even sign in. I’m trying to give them my money and they can’t even take it.

App is useless ### 1/5 — Dumbfounded *2026-03-17, version 4.17* Literally cannot fathom how this network scored rights to broadcast local Laker games, but cannot create an app that works. The sign on process is absolute garbage and half the times I can’t even watch the game on the road because the login buttons don’t register. Fix your app. ### 1/5 — Spectrum does work *2026-02-15, version 1.1* It won’t allow me to log in ### 1/5 — App does not work *2026-02-12, version 1.1* If you are a Spectrum user, the app will not work for you. When I select the login option, nothing happens and I cannot access any of the videos or streaming options. Right now this app is useless. ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in *2025-12-23, version 4.17* Sign in option isn’t working ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Daniel Arizmendi *2026-08-04, version 4.20.1* Dannyearizi ### 5/5 — Buggy *2026-05-03, version 4.18* Always has issues with just opening the app. Immediately get error notifications.

The app worked before, now it states “I’m sorry the credentials used to sign in are not authorized for sports net LA.
