This is very frustrating to those of us watching the streaming of the open! 2* ### 2/5 — Live activities don’t work *2026-07-17, version 3.0.6* Seems like a great app with lots of great features, only one problem…the live viewing for me won’t work. It was working, then it stopped and has not been fixed. ### 2/5 — Live Radio Keeps Crashing *2026-07-16, version 3.0.5* Live radio plays briefly and keeps crashing. Fix your app! ### 1/5 — A Disaster *2026-07-16, version 3.0.5* Absolutely the worst sports app I’ve ever encountered. Didn’t used to be, but some genius thought it would be better to slash the tires and salt the engine of this baby and she’s now a certified clunker. Impossible to understand why they did this to the app. ### 1/5 — Could be so useful, but isn’t *2026-07-15, version 3.0.5* Very busy dashboard but nothing useful on there. Went on practice day and it would have been so useful to have up to date information on who was on the course and on the range. Also radio hopeless ### 2/5 — App is struggling *2026-07-15, version 3.0.4* I want to like it and ready for the tourney but it’s getting more and more buggy and keeps throwing 403 errors when trying to watch videos and coverage media. Hope they fix this before the tourney starts. ### 3/5 — Limited viewing *2025-07-20, version 2.7.3* Would be real nice to see the end of the tournament while traveling home after spending 4 days on the course. It is dreadful how hard media has made it to watch marquee events. They will eventually subscription us to death! ### 2/5 — Well designed but limited live feeds *2025-07-20, version 2.7.3* Championship Sunday and the live feeds (in the US) only follow some middle of the pack players and a par 3 camera. The leaders are on the course, but you won’t get to see them unless they’re on a par 3. Add a broadcast channel to fix this large hole in coverage. ### 2/5 — Not great *2025-07-20, version 2.7.3* The other major championship apps are much better than this. No coverage of final group and you have to sign up to various conditions just to watch non contenders. Poor! ### 1/5 — Connection issues *2025-07-19, version 2.7.3* If you are not at home and not on WiFi it is almost impossible to watch the championship. Something is always “wrong” with the connection and you can try and deleting the app and redownloading but it only temporarily fixes the issue and then you’re right back to square one. ### 3/5 — Lee *2025-07-19, version 2.7.3* Took forever to get registered add to sign in. I’m still not sure if I’m in one club or not! Very cumbersome and slow — to difficult. ### 2/5 — Don’t highlight the top 4 *2025-07-19, version 2.7.3* It was a great app until you made the odd choice to highlight the top 4. We can see who they are we don’t need them enlarged. Really odd change. ### 1/5 — R & A app great , shame the free WiFi was rubbish. *2025-07-18, version 2.7.3* I was unable to follow any of the proceedings on the app during of the days of play. Very disappointed. ### 4/5 — Fantastic coverage tv and radio 👏 *2025-07-18, version 2.7.3* Keep it up team ### 4/5 — Working great *2025-07-18, version 2.7.3* Need to set up a Onegolf account as far as I can see but once it’s working it’s great. No adverts and sensible commentators. You can pick a group and follow that all the way round. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Coverage is weak at best - and never opens easily *2026-07-18, version 3.0.6* I can’t tell you how many times I’ve deleted and re-downloaded this app and still I have problems just seeing featured groups. I don’t know why they can’t carry the regular coverage. ### 1/5 — Watch what ? *2026-07-18, version 3.0.6* The live feed to watch doesn’t work. That stinks. ### 1/5 — Not a professional tournament *2026-07-17, version 3.0.6* disgraceful to golf ### 1/5 — Video coverage down *2026-07-17, version 3.0.6* For the 2nd day in a row, the app throws an error message when trying to watch coverage. Even after the update. Funny how the merch shop still works, though. ### 1/5 — Rubbish admin *2026-07-17, version 3.0.6* If you want to watch any of the live feeds you have to create an ID in a different App and then, when you find you’ve already registered, and ask for a password reset, the email never arrives. Hopeless. ### 1/5 — This app is a Bogey *2026-07-16, version 3.0.5* The app live feed crashes and won’t reload the live feed. Pretty terrible app if you ask me. Don’t trust watching much golf on this app. ### 1/5 — Idiotic *2026-07-16, version 3.0.5* Only first two letters of last name show on Leaderboard although I can see scores for Rounds 2,3, and 4 on day 1. Not user friendly ### 1/5 — Can’t Register to Watch *2026-07-16, version 3.0.5* Downloaded the app and to see any live groups it’s requiring registration. However the registration process throws errors every time I attempt to complete. Terrible process. ### 1/5 — Can’t register *2026-07-16, version 3.0.5* Can’t watch live coverage without registering. Getting an error message when trying to register ### 1/5 — Poor show *2026-07-16, version 3.0.5* The course map is obscured by the groups on each hole, making it impossible to see details of the hole. Total rubbish. Did nobody think ??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-04, version 3.0.6* It was my first time at the golf and this app helped me keep track of everything and understand whats happening. helped a lot! ### 5/5 — Solid app *2026-07-17, version 3.0.6* Not quite as good as the Masters but definitely better than the PGA and US Opens, love the traditional aesthetics combined with a slick modern UI ### 5/5 — Open App *2026-07-16, version 3.0.5* Homus Erectus ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2025-07-18, version 2.7.3* No spot of bother could be found with this glorious app. Great Video, marquee feature groups. Radio so quick and easy to turn on and off. I want to see you hit a home run with this one, but it’s more like a hole in one 🏌️‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Better than last year! *2025-07-18, version 2.7.3* Truly excellent. Full of great features. Following a featured group live on video just adds to the experience. ### 5/5 — Featured Groups *2025-07-17, version 2.7.3* Excellent coverage to appreciate every shot hit by three professionals, rather than edited highlights showing only the best shots, seeing the pros struggling recovering and getting the ball up and down is a sheer delight. This is how golf should be enjoyed. Wonderful. ### 5/5 — Best App *2025-07-17, version 2.7.2* Brilliant app. Includes the best radio coverage. The other majors should take notice. ### 5/5 — Coverage *2024-07-21, version 2.6.4* Brilliantly coverage, great app ### 5/5 — Inside the ropes, clubhouse, bunkers and all that! *2024-07-20, version 2.6.4* What a fantastic app! Just superb! Very well done congrats to all who contribute to this gold standard of major golf content. ### 5/5 — BanditStash *2024-07-19, version 2.6.3* Not much more to add to the other 5 Star reviews as all it would be is redundant! Simply bravo! 💪 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
