### 2/5 — Always Flaky

*2026-08-29, version 8.47.0*

Even with exquisite internet the app will freeze and require multiple restarts to finish a game. I've never seen a whole ball game without restarting the app at least once. It's embarrassing that the richest media company in the country can't handle a stable app.

### 2/5 — New update broke app

*2026-08-29, version 8.47.0*

Recent update prevents favourites from being added. Can’t get any updates 🤨

### 2/5 — App Bugs

*2026-08-18, version 8.46.1*

I am unable to set up my favorite teams on my iPhone and iPad. When I choose a team, the app gives me an error saying it’s unavailable and then crashes. 

I am also unable to log into my account on AppleTV so I can watching the streaming services. It goes through the process of connecting using my tv provider but then crashes out and then the app won’t even open again in AppleTV. 

I even tried streaming from my iPad to my AppleTV, but again, it crashes.

### 2/5 — Get Cable. Don’t Waste Your Money.

*2026-08-15, version 8.46.1*

I’ve been a long time subscriber and the price keeps going up without any value being added. I just want to watch the Oilers and the Blue Jays without blackout restrictions. I don’t care about interviews, or analyses, or any extra stuff. There needs to be better price points with options to select only what you will actually watch, so you aren’t wasting money. At almost $400 for a yearly subscription now, I’ve cancelled mine. Probably just look at getting cable or something, but I definitely will not be subscribing again. The price hikes irritated me so much I even switched my cell phone to Telus after being a Rogers customer for over 20 years.

The Sportsnet app also has a lot of bugs and often whatever I’m watching produces an error after a few minutes of play. The service went down too during the most intense inning of one of the Blue Jays World Series games in 2025 and remained down for at least a half hour. Stop increasing your price for something that keeps getting worse.

### 2/5 — oh rogers

*2026-08-15, version 8.46.1*

app crashes, no audio, close and reopen every game you want to watch. awful how expensive their subscription is for an app that’s unusable for half the time. do better guys!

### 1/5 — No point getting this

*2026-08-13, version 8.46.1*

This app likes starting the game over randomly, then you miss a lot of the actual game, trying to reboot the app. Which isn’t always successful.

### 1/5 — Crashes, no costumer support at all

*2026-08-13, version 8.46.1*

Update: I have cancelled my subscription. THIS APP IS A JOKE! This subscription app is ridiculously overpriced. Their streams constantly fail, specially during big games. Recently, they increased the subscription fee without offering any new features or resolving the major issues with their app and streaming. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they offer no costumer service at all! It is impossible to reach them when an issue arises. They are indifferent to their faults: for example, many paying costumers experienced serious issues while trying to watch the blue jays World Series, we did not get a refund or any form of compensation. DO NOT PAY FOR THIS GARBAGE, they will not deliver on what they offer

### 1/5 — The worst app

*2026-08-13, version 8.46.1*

This app is owned by the biggest telecommunications company in Canada and it’s absolute trash. Constantly freezes, screen sharing is nearly impossible, gotta log back in you account all the time. Get it together

### 1/5 — Worst sports app there is

*2026-08-13, version 8.46.1*

I signed up for a 12 month (to make it cheaper) subscription to Sportsnet + and god do I regret my mistake. I’ve had ongoing issues every day with this app, whether it’s the video quality, connecting to my tv via chrome cast or the live game not working on the app.. At first I reached out to the customer service which I realized quickly how incompetent the people are, they couldn’t reimburse me and cancel my subscription and they had no idea why I was experiencing these difficulties with the app. I gave it a few months in hopes that it would get better. I had the same issues as before and I reached out via email to get some support or guidance. I didn’t hear anything back from customer service and now I’ve given up completely. I’ve never had issues with any other sport streaming apps such as DAZN, Fubo, TSN +, or Amazon prime. And while I’m writing this review the Jays game against the Red Sox stopped working on the app so I’ve missed a bunch of the game. I would rate this app zero stars if I could. Complete joke of an organization.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2026-08-13, version 8.46.1*

Probably the worst app available for sports coverage.  Blue jays games keep crashing, and you can never reset it.  Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Worst App of All Time

*2026-08-13, version 8.46.1*

Literally can name any problem and this app has it. Freezing, lagging, crashing. It even makes my phone heat up sometimes and excessively drains battery. Games will drop you from the live feed and force you to watch from the start, the tracking doesn’t work so you can’t get back to where you were.

It’s honestly shocking that such a rich company puts their name on an app this bad. That’s not even mentioning how they continue to raise prices multiple times. Rogers better pray they keep their exclusive streaming rights because anyone who uses this app will jump ship the second there’s an even remotely viable alternative.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-08-13, version 8.46.1*

Stream repeatedly disconnect, lags, buffers. Once stream dies even app restarts do not fix the issue. 

Live jays games sometimes play yesterdays game and then show a program completed screen. 

Almost as if they’ve payed no attention to the mobile app. Blatant awful bugs.

### 1/5 — As a Canadian

*2026-08-11, version 8.46.1*

I hate Sportsnet and Rogers even more

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-09, version 8.46.1*

This app is terrible on Apple TV 4K. It crashes at least once during every game. If I start a game late and choose “watch from the beginning,” a crash after the game has ended can leave no option to restart it—or the highlights menu appears and reveals the final score, ruining the game. If I manage to avoid a spoiler, I still need to restart from the beginning and fast forward to try and find where it left off. Every single game. Paying too much to have the game watching experience ruined. Awful.

### 2/5 — Poor quality

*2026-08-08, version 8.46.1*

There is no button to skip commercials on replays, app randomly shuts down, it will not remember where you left off on replays, the skip button frequently shuts down the app. There are a lot of improvements that need to be made. Not worth the cost, but no alternative. Do better.

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2026-08-08, version 8.46.1*

The app is very slow for me. Should be able to sign in without having to go to a web browser. Also no option to add my card to the website so I could pay. Only option was through Apple Pay but I don’t have that setup.

### 1/5 — Crash much?

*2026-08-08, version 8.46.1*

ALWAYS crashes on startup using AppleTV

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-08-08, version 8.46.1*

Streaming constantly freezes and has apparently been this way for years… company doesnt care.  We are cancelling our subscription

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Garbage but no other choice

*2026-08-29, version 8.47.0*

Live streaming to Apple TV crashes repeatedly; game restarts while streaming; intermittent audio or clicking sounds are common. Unfortunately there is no other option for regularly streaming Blue Jays games in Canada so we’re stuck with this mess.

### 1/5 — No favourites anymore?

*2026-08-27, version 8.46.1*

For weeks I have tried to re-add my favourite teams. I keep getting “something went wrong” error and can’t do it. Previous versions had this functionality for years. What is going on now?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-26, version 8.46.1*

For the price they ask this app is terrible. Always glitching and freezing. Needs constant restarting and always crashes during commercials.

### 1/5 — Stopped watching when you hired Kevin Pillar

*2026-08-26, version 8.46.1*

Rogers, shame on you for hiring this homophobe back.

### 1/5 — Freezes and glitchy

*2026-08-25, version 8.46.1*

Constant freezing and glitching.  On all devices.  Not worth the money

### 1/5 — Glitchy, terrible service, bad streaming

*2026-08-22, version 8.46.1*

This app is horrifically bad. It crashes consistently. You can't google cast it to many TVs and the login loop is idiotic. It is so sad to be held hostage by this Roger's nonsense to watch sports in Ontario. May freedom one day arrive.

### 1/5 — The App Crashes while casting

*2026-08-20, version 8.46.1*

I don’t know why this app is still so shaky. A lot of issues with casting but it happens constantly and with many TV’s. Mine are all Samsungs so don’t know if there is an issue there. But seriously annoyed I pay for this app and miss half of any game I want to watch.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-08-19, version 8.46.1*

Constantly crashes. Signing in causes the app to crash. I have to delete and reinstall if I want to try and do anything. Costs enough money to be the worst app

### 1/5 — Price keeps going up but bugs remain

*2026-08-19, version 8.46.1*

Streaming the Blue Jays games peaked in the 2010s when we could watch on the excellent MLB.tv service. Now we all have to use this terrible, buggy app that keeps getting more expensive but they can’t be bothered to fix its many issues. It’s just not acceptable. But of course they don’t care; they have a monopoly on sports streaming in this country. Pathetic.

### 1/5 — Terrible app from a terrible company

*2026-08-16, version 8.46.1*

Destroying hockey viewing in Canada. Complete garbage company. Rogers is trash

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Excellent Design

*2020-03-07*

Love how this app includes OHL , AHL etc .. well done

### 5/5 — Trouble loading?

*2017-09-23*

I love this app! Instant access to a wide variety of sports has maintained my interest in my favourites and piqued my interest in several other sports. 

The biggest beef is the issue of the app frequently freezing or not loading correctly. The freezing happens part way through video clips or even when scrolling through articles. This definitely takes away from the overall experience.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear the issue you are facing.  Can you let us know what phone you are using and what iOS version you are using and we can try to reproduce here.

### 4/5 — Logging me out

*2026-07-25, version 8.45.1*

I have to log in Again every months because it keeps logging me out but other than that it’s a good app all around

### 4/5 — Good app: suggested improvements for stream audio

*2026-07-04, version 8.45.0*

Overall, I enjoy sportsnet and have subscribed to sportsnet plus to stream baseball games. I like the overall set up and that I can access the radio broadcast in the app!

My main issue is that while streaming with airpods, the app struggles to accommodate my headphones and always resets the stream. The audio will be missing with both my phone speaker or my airpods which causes me to need to reset the app.  

I would love to keep using the app to stream but this has become a major hinderance when trying to watch my games. I would really appreciate the devs looking at how this can be prevented! Thank you :​)

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-06-16, version 8.44.0*

W app but sometimes the games have no volume when connected to headphones. Otherwise everything you would want from a sports app

### 3/5 — Favourites

*2026-08-16, version 8.46.1*

All my favourites have disappeared and will not allow me to save them back.

### 3/5 — Casting improvements

*2026-05-29, version 8.43.0*

So I pay the full subscription on this app. Everything is good but the casting, it keeps going out while watching a game. And no it’s not because of my connection because I have no issues using TSN or other streaming apps to cast on the tv. Just this one. I get it, this is probably just for everyone to use on their phone but you’re paying a lot of money for it to watch games but casting it to the tv sucks.

### 3/5 — No audio, crashes, super glitchy

*2026-05-17, version 8.42.0*

On my iPhone 13, since new, this app has consistently been glitchy where it has told me that streaming video is not permitted with my subscription, failed to produce any audio for a stream, and crashed. Not super impressed with the app…

### 3/5 — Audio issues

*2026-05-17, version 8.42.0*

I have to reload this app way too many times to get the audio to work normally. Very frustrating.

### 2/5 — favourites

*2026-08-30, version 8.47.0*

When I am signed in with my tv provider I can’t add favourite teams which is very annoying because it makes it harder to be able to check scores. Please fix this.
