### 3/5 — Not Designed For iPads

*2026-04-19*

The resolution of the app has not been optimised for iPads. It opens in portrait mode in the middle of the screen and there is no way to maximise it to full screen - and watching a match on WST play is akin to streaming video on a tiny widget on the screen. Very annoying for an otherwise well designed app from a content standpoint.

### 3/5 — Unreliable

*2026-03-30, version 2.1.7*

If it worked fully without bugs it would be a great app.   Issues with reporting the frame scores for live matches.

### 4/5 — Nice app but the cast feature isn’t working

*2025-12-07*

The app works nice and smooth. Please look into the cast feature. I am able to cast youtube from my iphone to my android tv. But the cast on this app doesn’t work.

### 3/5 — Good app but quite a few bugs

*2025-10-24*

The app is so much needed to be able to follow and watch snooker. But I’m never able to log in because on the log in page it says enter a valid password. I’m able to log in with the same credentials on the website. So it’s just an app issue. 
Also when are we getting an apple tv app?

### 2/5 — Video rotation issues on iPhone

*2025-10-21, version 2.1.7*

Don’t know why they can’t get the video to orientate itself more reliably on this app?
Also why no iPad app?
Better off AirPlay-ing the video if you have the choice.

### 2/5 — Poor customer service

*2025-08-01, version 2.1.5*

If you have any problems the customer support is very slow. I can’t logon with my phone and still haven’t received any help!!

### 3/5 — Ok

*2025-05-31, version 2.1.4*

Okay app but the layout could be better and there is no dynamic type support. Font size is very small in lots of areas of app, When you click a news story etc The font does not change size.

### 3/5 — Can’t watch Live

*2025-04-23*

Something is wrong with the app I can’t watch live. Do something about it.

### 2/5 — Where are Results?

*2025-04-21, version 2.1.3*

For the life of me I can’t find completed match results.  The news headline gives a clue but you’d think a results page would be an obvious screen to have. 

I see why so many people rate this app so poorly. Looks like it’s not high on WSTs list.

### 2/5 — iPad and Apple TV app needed!

*2025-04-20, version 2.1.3*

Why is this app only for iPhone? I subscribed to watch the world championship live feed. But I don’t want to watch a snooker match on a tiny screen!?!? Why is this not available on Apple TV or at least an iPad! I won’t be renewing my subscription.

### 3/5 — No specific app for iPad

*2025-04-16, version 2.1.3*

The iPhone app works on an iPad but in iPhone format. Really needs an IPad specific app that uses the whole screen.

### 4/5 — Good for snooker fans

*2025-03-18, version 2.1.3*

I like this app and it is good for following news, live scored, and upcoming events. One thing I find difficult is trying to find results during a current tournament. If i miss a match from earlier in the day, it takes a lot of searching to find the result.

### 3/5 — Can’t watch match replays without spoilers !

*2025-03-17, version 2.1.3*

There is a lot of scope for improvement with this app, navigation is confusing and the layout is unintuitive. For those who have forked out for a subscription in order to watch either live streamed or match replays , there is an infuriating element - archived videos are displayed in order they are uploaded - so if you’re hoping to watch a match from say, the day before , you will get to read the video posted after the match - the player’s post match interview complete with headline telling you who won and who lost. 

Gah!! That’s so stupid 
PLEASE fix that .
Match spoilers are the worst - and this is totally avoidable , it’s down to the app developers. Please get it together !

### 1/5 — Glenn - Canada

*2025-03-06, version 2.1.3*

the app would be great if you could watch matches on your phone but since you have to hold the phone vertically to watch the image is little more than the size of a large stamp.  Come on people - you should be able to flip the image to horizontal.

### 1/5 — no live coverage

*2025-03-05, version 2.1.3*

bad review as i am in uk england i paid subscription to watch live but i very much disappointed with this service now

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2025-02-25, version 2.1.3*

The live scores are not all that live.  Does it take a long time to update them because of the unnecessarily detailed graphics & stats explaining each shot?  Just need it to be live scores info

### 3/5 — Need stable app

*2025-02-15*

Sometimes video stream doesn’t open in wst play and is slow  and app need improvement

### 1/5 — Disappointed so far

*2025-01-15*

Video/audio quality is great but -   
1. cannot flip to horizontal on iphone ??
2. How about keeping me logged in ? You keep asking to save cookies well one of them must allow me to stay logged in ? no ?

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-05-13*

How convenient for them that the app crashes every time I try to delete my account. Also cannot find a way to stop paying monthly dues. 
Horrible!

### 1/5 — Please keep the info easy

*2026-04-26, version 2.1.8*

I’ve been critical of the app in the past. It’s much better but why is the displayed schedule so messy. Please show the daily schedule as per the BBC ie 

10:00, which matches, latest score

14:30 which matches, latest score

19:00, which matches, latest score

This should be available for the whole tournament. All nice and simple and what people want to refer to. 




PREVIOUS REVIEW
The information, especially the schedules, are inaccurate and unreliable. Go to the Flashscore app or the BBC website for better info on the schedules. This app could be so much better if they let somebody manage it who can be bothered.
Hasn’t improved since last year, still a half hearted app. You would hope nobody is being paid to keep this up to date.

### 1/5 — Casting fails after update.

*2026-04-24, version 2.1.8*

Since the update, when trying to cast from my IPhone  to another device visible in the selection list, the cast begins but immediately fails with only the cast icon on the screen. The status on my IPhone is “no media selected”. Two emails to support have yet to be acknowledged by WST. Very Disappointing support.

### 1/5 — iPhone Only?

*2026-04-20, version 2.1.8*

Horrible to watch on iPad, not sure why it can’t be made full screen for iPad. Easier to use Chrome to be honest

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2026-04-18*

The app  👍🏻 is very much needed but the new update made the casting experience worse than before

### 1/5 — Not Fit For Purpose

*2025-04-27, version 2.1.3*

Very short review. Don’t bother with this app. There is more information on the WST website which is also much easier to navigate.

### 1/5 — Can not login

*2025-04-25*

I can not login

### 1/5 — Is it illegal?

*2025-04-20, version 2.1.3*

At the time of this application review there is an article on the app titled “Fans Could Pocket £25K With Midnight Maximum”. This article contains a link to a betting and casino website called Midnite. The applications age use is 4+ which exposes children to gambling and gambling advertisements. World Snooker Tour, it is so sad. Great sport, but an association over the years with cigarette and more recently gambling sponsorship.

### 1/5 — No live play

*2025-04-19, version 2.1.3*

This sports managers have to be to the worst financial and promoting sports in the entire world. You can’t watch snooker anywhere in North America. What a joke of a sport.

### 1/5 — iPad viewing

*2025-03-21, version 2.1.3*

This app has the potential to be incredible but its still too buggy. Sometimes it works to watch on my ipad but mostly not. Once they get this figured out they will be excellent. Thanks for getting this going. I’ll change my review once these bugs get fixed

*2024-04-04, version 2.0.0*
