### 2/5 — Poor Reporting And So Frustrating To Use

*2026-03-04, version 181.2.1*

Just one snafu after another after another after another after another…
Seriously…how do the programmers of this app still have jobs (assuming that they do)?!
Are the articles written by journalism students? It sure seems so, and not in a good way. Articles are frequently inaccurate or incomplete. Stats used are often wrong, final scores are sometimes completely omitted (!!!) from the article and occasionally statements are made that make me wonder if the writer even saw the game.
To the writers and editor - raise the bar. This isn’t good enough.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2026-03-04*

It’s unfortunate such a stellar university can’t have a better app for athletics. The schedule feature is only useful if you are looking at a specific date. It should be really easy to filter by sport and see their schedule but you can’t. Managing tickets isn’t exactly intuitive either. And please, remove the ads.

### 2/5 — So Frustrating!

*2025-12-30*

Just one snafu after another after another after another after another…
Seriously…how do the programmers of this app still have jobs (assuming that they do)?!

### 2/5 — Who’s playing today on Peacock?

*2025-11-22*

All I need here is a good schedule. My family is referencing something at 3 pm on Peacock. The app has not shed light on what sport. It’s hard to find the game time for football, and the type size is TOO SMALL. Not even the name of the sport is clear on this app.

### 2/5 — STILL needs work

*2025-03-14*

Scrolling is clumsy, where you can’t stop where you want.
Page does not refresh when prompted. The app on my phone still ‘refreshes’ to the UW/NW B1G Tournament hoops game, when that was yesterday and at the moment they are playing v UCLA.
Also doesn’t refresh consistently even if you haven’t been on it in awhile. 
Reporters submit articles that omit important facts about the game, and too often actually get some facts wrong.
Also impossible to get back to the app Home page after viewing game stats in an article link. And since the app doesn’t refresh well when prompted, I actually have to shut down my phone and restart it to sever the connection, re-establish the connection, to get back to the Home Screen. I also occasionally do this just to refresh the screen so I can read new articles.
Taking off a star in the app rating because these issues have still been ignored.
Also, for YEARS now, I have not been able to renew season tickets through the mobile app. I’ve tried every year, and every year it says it cannot process my order, to check my info and to try again later.
I call and renew my tickets, using the exact same info listed on the mobile app, and my order is successful every time.
That means that the app is screwed up.
FIX. THE. APP.

### 2/5 — Some better some worse

*2025-02-28*

App updates for ticketing is great. 
Ability to search schedules by particular sports or teams very difficult. 
Ability to find info or stories for specific sports difficult.

### 3/5 — Better but still needs work

*2024-11-10*

Scrolling is clumsy, where you can’t stop where you want. It takes you either up or down on the page, to predetermined stopping points.
Page does not refresh when prompted. Also doesn’t refresh consistently even if you haven’t been on it in awhile.

I also occasionally do this just to refresh the screen so I can read new articles.

### 2/5 — Not happy with updates

*2024-10-13*

I am not liking that the sports I follow are buried on a more page. Also, when trying to listen to the action, clicking the button appears is actually to close the app. Seriously, this is a huge disappointment. IT is failing miserably on this one.

### 4/5 — Update requires sign in every time

*2024-09-10*

Please change the default, so it is not required to resign in at every use.

### 1/5 — Can’t open the app

*2024-09-01*

I can’t open the app. It crashes every time. I’ve tried restarting my phone, uninstalling the app several times, but I can’t open the app and keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2024-08-28, version 7.0.2*

Can’t even open the app. Crashes every single time I try.

### 2/5 — Back to the drawing board…

*2024-05-22*

The new app is…not good.
Scrolling is clumsy, where you can’t stop where you want. It takes you either up or down on the page, to predetermined stopping points.
When navigating your account, you constantly get prompted to sign in again and again after you’ve already signed in. It even prompts you to sign in, WHILE on the screen it has an option for you to sign out.
If I can sign out, then I’m already signed in! If you recognize that I’m signed in, why are you making me sign in again? Ugh! So frustrating and confusing!
Are there different levels of security to my account, and how many times must I sign in before I finally reach the ‘Top Secret’ level of my own account?
It’s very cumbersome and extremely annoying. It makes me not want to ever use this app.
If I’ve signed in once, I’M SIGNED IN. STOP MAKING ME SIGN IN AGAIN AND AGAIN.

### 1/5 — What’s’ going on?

*2024-03-23, version 6.0.1*

Badger Basketball is participating in March Madness and the link in your app for the game audio is a discussion about neutering and spaying your pets?????

### 1/5 — This App is GARBAGE

*2024-02-29, version 6.0.1*

Can’t purchase tickets through the app, refuses to accept my card, and won’t tell me why. I am not going to the uwbadgers.com web site just to pay an extra $10 for a transaction fee for one seat. The price should be the same as it is here. FIX THE APP.

### 1/5 — Light show

*2023-10-28, version 5.1.3*

I downloaded this so I can participate in the light show and that is not part of this app as advertised ughhh!!  Really unhappy

### 2/5 — Notifications not working

*2023-09-14, version 5.1.2*

Volleyball game start notifications not working

### 2/5 — Basic Features lacking

*2023-07-29*

Cool site and idea. Basic things that people actually want to use this for are terrible. How do I set a password? Mobile phone and address links aren’t working properly. It’s difficult to navigate

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2022-11-26*

Even when it’s not being glitchy this app needs improvement. Live stats has gotten more difficult to access. It’s even difficult to find the score when a game is in progress.

### 3/5 — Great app

*2022-09-03, version 5.0.10*

This is a great app for a Badger fan but wish it would allow you play radio feed in Bluetooth and CarPlay

### 1/5 — Badgers suck

*2026-05-20, version 181.2.9*

I would give this pitiful app 0 stars if I could GO MAVS      💜🖤💛

### 1/5 — Poor Reporting, You Guys Suck!

*2026-04-19, version 181.2.9*

UPDATE (4/18/26)- You reported that because of weather, the Friday and Saturday softball games would be a doubleheader on Friday. Actually, it was on Saturday. Sigh…
SO, Saturday morning, I looked for the scores and found no score. I naturally figured you guys were wrong as you are so often. That was the case.
So I saw that your site said Saturday’s game(s) started at 4pm. So I go to the stadium, Goodman Diamond, just before 4pm to catch one, maybe 2 games.
When I arrived, I saw the game was in the bottom of the 6th inning already. What. The. HELL?!
Turns out, not only was the game already going on, but that was the end of the SECOND GAME. I missed the whole damn doubleheader because you idiots can’t even get game times right! 
Man, you guys SUCK.

### 1/5 — Can’t access my tix

*2025-01-26*

I’ve tried to delete app and refresh, but nothing I do allows my mobile tix to come up on app.  I have to log into browser and that has never happened before.   What is the point of having the app if it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Flashes off

*2024-12-03, version 7.0.2*

Downloaded several times but app just closes. I give up.

### 1/5 — App crashes when trying to open

*2024-11-23*

I updated the app to the latest version, and my iOS is also fully updated. However, the app continually crashes when I try to launch it. Sad because I’ve enjoyed the app up to this point. I hope they fix this issue!

### 1/5 — All this app does is crash now

*2024-11-01, version 7.0.2*

With these latest IOS update. Gee thanks

### 1/5 — The app crashes whenever I open it

*2024-09-25, version 7.0.2*

The title is self explanatory. I tap on the app icon, it loads for a fraction of a second, then closes. Great app design!

### 1/5 — App doesn't even work

*2024-09-18*

I've had this app for years and now when you click on it, it doesn't even pop-up. After deleting and reinstalling the app several times, it still doesn't work.

### 1/5 — awful

*2024-09-10, version 7.0.2*

app wont open up.

### 1/5 — New update broken

*2024-09-03*

Thank goodness I can still log in on the web to access my tickets, because the newest update causes the app to fail to load.  I’ve deleted and reinstalled a couple times, and restarted my phone a couple times, no luck.

I see a brief red screen before the app closes down. Please fix!!!!!!

Go Bucky!!!!

### 5/5 — Great h*cking app!

Can’t get enough of this app. On it night and day. Sort of addicted but not like dangerously

### 5/5 — Badgers fans!

*2015-12-12, version 3.0.1*

Wonderful app for any Badgers fan, especially one like myself that lives so far away from Wisconsin (Barbourville, Kentucky).  
-Joshua M. De Borde

### 5/5 — Live radio!

*2015-10-17, version 3.0.0*

It was a pleasure to be able to listen to the Badger game while working around the house, running errands, etc. I live in Maryland and don't get radio coverage here. Well done!

### 5/5 — This app will change your life

*2015-09-27, version 3.0.0*

If you are a badger fan.... Or even a badger enthusiast..... This app will revolutionize your game day experience. 

Before this app, I was a nobody. A loser. My parents told me to download "the badger game day app"

I am now a front runner for 2016 president of the United States.

I know the scores. I know the players. I get the immediate instant replays.

Download and get ready to have your sporting and badger world plunged into a fantasy only imaginable in Barry alverazes most personal dreams

### 5/5 — Go Badgers

*2015-09-24, version 3.0.0*

This app is great. It allows me to stay caught up and see scores. Game day camera angles give me a great perspective on the action. Go Badgers!

### 5/5 — I be Jumping Around for this app

*2015-09-22, version 3.0.0*

This app is a must have for all Badger fans.  It gives you live scores and awesome replays of your favorite sporting events. I don't know how we got along without it for as long has we did.

### 5/5 — Love the live stream and stats

*2015-09-21, version 3.0.0*

Love that I can watch the game from my seat from different camera angles. Also really enjoy the live stats, easy to follow along.

### 5/5 — Must have for Badger fans

*2015-09-20, version 3.0.0*

This gameday app is absolutely wonderful! It’s great whether you’re actually at the game, or just want to keep up with the latest headlines in Badgers sports on the go. It includes tabs for purchasing tickets, a shopping tab to deck yourself out in some brand new cardinal red and white, as well as tabs linking all of the Badger social media platforms in one place. Also, if you have been to a game and somehow want the experience to be even better (if that’s even possible?!), there’s a tab for that too. The list doesn’t end there. Download this app and check it out for yourself, you won’t regret it.

### 5/5 — Game day app!!! :)

*2015-09-20, version 3.0.0*

Number one used app on my phone! Always use to get updates! So thankful for the badger game day app!!!
