### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2024-01-01*

I keep deleting and downloading it, but nothing changes when I do it, I try to bring it up and it might load for a second then turn off or won’t go on at all! I like the sports content but I can get my news other places I’ve given it long enough to fix.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2023-12-18*

It’s amazing that in 2023, a developer can’t manage to at least make their app stable for a couple of months.   Where most apps fix these kinds of issues immediately, whoever is maintaining this app for SI is taking their money and sitting on their couch laughing.   The app either doesn’t load or loads and then immediately crashes.   They’ll fix it for a couple of weeks and then it crashes again.

### 2/5 — The Constant Crashes Continue

*2023-12-12*

For multiple years now I’ve had the same issue other call out here, the app will just not load, or it will boot you out for no known reason.  Restarts and reloads do not seem to matter.  Then, it will just start to work again - You just never know for how long.  Use at your own peril of insanity.  Or hey, use it until you find one that works (then tell me what it is)

### 1/5 — Inadequate

*2023-12-06*

When click on this app many times it just disappears. Literally 
And consistently. This is ridiculous and why? Why can someone
Not fix this issue. Pay money for subscription and get what? 
This is seriously lame and very disappointing!  Very.
Was a day when Sports Illustrated was best, now pathetic.

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2023-12-02*

Crashes every. single. time.  I have removed and reloaded it, rebooted my iPad (and my iPhone) repeatedly.  Nothing works.  I’ve never had an app from any source that was so useless.

### 2/5 — No personalization

*2023-11-29*

The app claims to allow you to personalize your feed but you absolutely cannot. There are some good things about the app but I don’t want to read only stories about other teams.

### 1/5 — The Worst!!

*2023-08-17*

This app doesn’t work will not open. I am going to cancel subscription which is unfortunate they have great content.

### 2/5 — Mostly crashes

*2023-08-17*

When it works, I love the app. The articles are usually timely, relevant, and to the point. Unfortunately, I rarely get to enjoy it since the app mostly crashes when I open it. Please fix the app SI!

### 1/5 — Good Content … Pathetic Tech

*2023-08-15*

Just awful.  When it (rarely) comes up, content is often truncated or just blows up.  Astonishing that a media company as established as SI could put out something terrible and never fix it.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-08-12*

This is so poorly kept up that I’m ready to cancel. It crashes everyday for 2 weeks now. Anybody home?? Horrible customer service
