Missing stream

Trying to listen to ISU vs Tennessee in NCAA tournament. Tennessee feed is available, ISU stream hangs.

Awful App

Awful UI makes it difficult to find anything and search is incredibly slow. Worse, the actual audio streaming is incredibly unstable. It’s baffling that an enterprise whose primary asset is audio content does not invest in decent technology.

Big XII Tournament.

Learfield provides announcers for Kansas University, but is not covering the semi finals of the Big XII league tournament. What is up with that. Low rent app.

In game commercials

They interrupt the action with commercials. Horrible!

Awesome!!

No idea why this app is only rated 3 stars. I can finally listen to all college basketball games. My only problem is there is no Ohio State podcasts. You have just about every team except one the best clloge football teams in the nation.

So many dropouts

The audio for the last couple of weeks drops out every 5-10 minutes during Florida men’s basketball games. It’s really annoying. When it works it’s great. But otherwise it’s not so great. Of course no issues during commercials.

Why can I not save my favorite team? I shouldn’t have to search through every game every time I want to listen to my team.

Please add favorites, so I can go straight to my team & not have to sift through a bunch of schools I don’t care about.

Cannot reset Password

Frustrated!!

Great app that seems to be working again

This is an amazing app. There was a portion of time that it was completely unusable, due to an ad issue where it blocked the start of any game being loaded, but currently it seems to be corrected.

After update app is not working

I use this to listen to football and softball and various press conferences. When I first started using some years ago, there was glitching, but it has since smoothed out and became a reliable broadcaster. However, last weekend, I had issues with getting it started, it finally played the pregame. I closed it to watch a video podcast, turned it on for the game and got a white screen. Since then, I have not been able to access it. I did update the app after the 1st white screen, and had updated my phone (Apple 18.7.1). Just tried with the press conferences today - I get notifications, but when I try to open it, it does not work. I uploaded the app to my iPad, same result. I would willingly give 5 stars if it worked like before.

Get a white screen? Try this…

While trying to listen to a game this evening, I got the dreaded “white screen” after trying to connect to my requested stream. There is no graceful recovery from this - you must kill and restart the app. I tried many, many times to no avail.

After the game was over, I decided to try to listen to the post-game content and again got the white screen.

I then decided to see if I could connect to the opponent’s stream, which I could do. After connecting, I found that I could then select my team’s stream, which worked great.

Based on this, I suspect that there is a missing ad or a malformed address to an existing ad which is causing the white screen.

I did submit a report during the game through the app, but since this has been reported many times in the past, I suspect that the support folks are not paying any attention to the reports, or cannot debug the issue.

My hope is that they will see this review and use it as a starting point to debug this problem, and/or test to make sure that the ads actually exist. If not, hopefully this workaround continues to work.

Good luck everyone!

Blank

Doesn’t work

Doesn't work

Won't load, or then it crashes. Have never been able to get it to work AT ALL.

Fix the ipad hangup

Works fine on my phone but goes blank after selecting a program on ipad. Reinstall does nothing to fix it. Live or on demand it doesnt matter. Only option is to quit.

Doesn’t even work. Garbage

Can’t get passed the advertisement. Does not work.

Garbage

Every single time I try using the app it is stuck on advertisement. This issue has been going on for multiple years every time I try using it.

Inconsistent

And glitchy

Great app….when it works.

I love the College Football Blitz channel that jumps between games, similar to NFL Redzone but on the radio. It’s fantastic. The problem is it hardly ever loads. When you click the icon, it just goes to a blank, white screen, where the 15 second ad normally loads. I don’t know if it’s a problem with the ad or what, but it only works about 25% of the time. When this issue exists, none of the other game audio loads either.

If this was fixed, it would easily be 5 stars and the best CFB game day app around.

Needs better stability and user interface

The potential is amazing but way too often, the user selects a feed and gets sent to a white screen. No status shown, no ability to step back, just a dead white screen. User must exit the app and try another feed. Frustrating that apps today don’t want to let the user know what is going on.

New update ruined app.

Unable to listen to games because every time I click on a game a ad pops up with a black screen that does not load.
