All replays it suck’s
We’re to watch live tennis I’ve subscribed for tennis open but seems it’s not live. I want a refund please

App stops working and in order to reset you have to back out of the app and then you miss important plays. It’s been pretty frustrating this weekend.
Also, if you’re watching replay of matches and it stalls on you and you go out of the app, it starts the match all over again.

Awful
Just like Tennis Channel itself.
Abysmal app
The Tennis channel app is absolutely abysmal. Probably the worst app available amongst all the other services. It frequently crashes. -And even more often freezes. It lags. It makes signing in exceedingly difficult time and time and time again. If you want to watch Tennis on Tennis channel, it’s your only option but just so you know, it’s terrible.

Constant issues with streaming and audio sync
TC is one of the worst streaming services. Within a few seconds, without fail, the picture will start to jump around, jiggle, lose resolution, and Audi will be anywhere from 5-20+ seconds out of sync every time, even after correcting it by jumping forward or backwards 10 seconds. This what $77/yr gets you. Takes all of the enjoyment out of watching tennis. What a waste. And on top of that, I can’t login on another device to test or the website (invalid credentials, even after updating password). Absolutely ridiculous. I love tennis. It’s the only sport I watch, but the TC is terrible, including the interface, trying to watch/find matches, constant talking, and annoying advertisements and intermissions.

Good Quality
I saw there was a deal for $77 a year and i had to check it out. The quality on the lives are actually very solid. I also like how you have the 15 minute match replay’s on there for if you miss a match or two. All round solid streaming service and they also make funny instagram reels so i have to respect that too🫡🤣

Poor streaming
Lots of tennis, poor stream. Have tried it all - uninstall/reinstall, reboot Apple TV, etc. Still with choppy stream and audio/video lag. Fix this - it is not watchable.
Awful Commentary
The video feeds seem to be the same video feeds as Tennis TV (which is ATP only and no challenger coverage, and more expensive), but there is no way to watch without the horrendous Tennis Channel commentators. They are insufferable. Give me a way to watch matches without them (I like the ambient sound, so mute isn’t a great option).
Tennis channel app also has great use of split screen, showing up to four matches at once and allowing you to select which one gives audio as well.
The app appears to be slightly less quality in bit depth than Tennis TV (resolution is the same), and this is using a 2G fiber connection. But I am guessing at that because it’s not obvious. The quality of the video feed, at least with a very fast connection, is quite good.
Layout of the app is excellent. It gives a breakdown by court, which is much harder to find on Tennis TV. I much prefer the layout and organization of Tennis Channel for watching a current tournament (Tennis TV has every ATP match for past decades and it’s easy to intuitively find those).
But since I cannot stand the Tennis Channel’s commentators, I watch via Tennis TV (ATP’s direct service). Unfortunately, the commentators make me hate this app. I wish I could fire all of them (Jim Courier is fine), but that’s a joke, but I really do I could just switch off the commentary. If so, I would be a permanent subscriber.

50/50 chance stream works
When stream works, app good. When stream broken, app ripoff.
Streaming quality improved
After two years away from this app because of constant streaming interruptions, I see a deal for $77 per year and decided to sign up. After a brief learning curve, I securely activated my account on three streaming devices from my phone. So far, the streaming of matches is high quality and, as previously enjoyed, the lack of commentators for early rounds is still appreciated. Also, the previous streaming interruptions which plagued the app seem to have been resolved. While the slams are not covered on the app, which is understandable when giant like ESPN and HBO own those rights, I appreciate that lower level tournaments, i.e., 125s, and Challengers, are fully covered. Also, having three different lengths of replays for singles (full match and two different highlights) is wonderful for catching up. If this keeps up, I will probably renew next year and may even give a higher rating.

Worthless
This is my second bad review of the tennis channel app for Apple TV. I work from home using a VPN and VOIP because my job requires me to talk to customers for my entire shift. Even with a reliable 500 mbps internet connection, this app is still incredibly glitchy. I can’t even watch a full point without the audio and video stalling! What is the issue? I have read the troubleshooting guides, changed the video settings, deleted and reinstalled the app and nothing helps. It has been this way for years. When will the developers fix it?

Worst streaming service out there
The only reason to watch this shoddy Sinclair product is because it’s the only game in town. Consistently poor streaming performance compared to every other service I’ve used.
Trash
Don’t waste your money
Awful No UAT STILL
I still see the same problem I probably saw a DECADE ago…literally several years ago. It is almost like something is fixed for a while, and then someone restores a previous version that brings back the same defect again. App keeps kicking me back 15 minutes and any time I switch views the tracking is messed up jumping around instead of maintaining playback position. And there is STILL no way in 2025 just to see a master replay schedule on demand like ESPN and watch exactly what was shown on air (not the world feed).

Great app
The Tennis Channel app is really organized with great coverage of all things tennis. I really like the clean interface and usability of the app
Bad app
I have to sign in too many times a day.
Terrible App
The app freezes after about 2 or 3 minutes and requires exiting the Live TV part of the app and go to the tournament section to select a match. Worst app we have ever used! Tried to remove the app and reinstall and the problem was the same.
Is a Fraud
Do not pay for this app. It has interface problems, sometimes the tennis channel 2 is not available and you will never watch live grand slams matches as Tennis channel does not have the rights of these events. Their response to complaints is very poor.
App crashes
It glitches and scratches, I tried this app years ago and cancelled subscription and tried again 2026 and it's still bad. Looks like tennis doesn't want to invest in this app. Bye
Lots of Tennis, Terrible Streaming Experience
With every Master/WTA 1000 plus every other tournament there is; player’s interviews and good analysis/commentary from legends of the sport, the coverage deserves five stars. However, the streaming experience and overall reliability of the app is just atrocious. It’s unfortunate because Tennis Channel holds the rights to every event here in the US. Tennis is not a difficult sport to broadcast from a technical standpoint so it’s all about Tennis Channel failing to provide a good consistent experience - the broadcast quality is simply unacceptable. From poor streaming quality, out of sync audio and and constant crashing, the app just doesn’t work. I ultimately decided to add it as a PRIME VIDEO channel - the video quality still bad but at least the Prime Video app is reliable. I really hope Tennis Channel can streamline the experience so we can all sit back and enjoy all the amazing tennis. As for those asking for Gram Slam Tennis coverage, they have no idea how expensive those packages are. And they’re basically standalone events every few months a year so subscribing to ESPN Unlimited and HBO MAX for those events is not that expensive when compared to traditional Cable TV, which besides DirecTV didn’t really offer all courts coverage.
