### 2/5 — Lacking basic features, more pricey than MLB App

*2025-05-15, version 13.0*

No option to start a game from the beginning after its started.  Yankees and other NY teams gave a monopoly over the games and then make it hard to watch them. Todays game started over 5 hours ago, has been over for hours and it still isnt available to watch.  The Yankees game listed as todays full game is playing back as yesterdays game.  This pretty ridiculous considering that the app is twice as expensive as most other streaming apps. Please make it better, we fans really look forward to these games!

### 2/5 — Poor quality

*2025-03-15, version 13.0*

This app does not compare to the YES app. Lots of blackouts at the wrong time.  I hope they fix this app because it’s hard to watch a fluent game.

### 1/5 — Yes or Gotham Sports ? It’s a scam

*2024-12-01*

Warning to everyone….. when I  “canceled” my subscription to the Yes Network on October 5th, 2024 I received an email stating “we are sorry to see you go.” However, I received bills on October 28th and November 29th from Gotham Sports which the Yes Network used to keep billing my credit card. Gotham Sports refused to stop billing my credit card and I eventually had to put in a disputed charges report in order for them to stop billing me. Please be aware of this scam. It’s a disgrace that the New York Yankees are affiliated with this company that uses corporate scams to drain money from hard working Americans.  It should be noted, anyone can turn off their location settings on their devices, use a vpn to change your location outside of the NY area and just watch the Yankees on the MLB app. At least you know you won’t get scammed that way ….. the Yankees, Yes Network, and Gotham Sports, what a pathetic companies.

### 2/5 — Two years and still the same issues.

*2024-09-30, version 11.0*

How can Apple TV and prime TV, Both of which are not sports apps figure out how to let people pause and start the games late when they want but yes, who charges a much higher price, not figure out this technology to let fans be able to watch it when they want to.

### 2/5 — Scores Scrolls Back Months

*2024-09-29, version 11.0*

Open scores and it shows a game from that day or maybe a few days back but when you scroll forward it turns white and skips back many months. Today it went back to last September. And there is no easy way to skip forward to today. Super annoying. 25$ a month for this.

### 1/5 — bad quality, rudimentary app

*2024-09-28, version 11.0*

The Yes app is not at all up to par.  It freezes, takes time to open, crashes, has latency issues and poor picture quality.  Plus doesnt have the features you are used to on other streaming apps; no rewind, fast forward, record or pause. Called customer service to get my money back—not helpful.

### 1/5 — I’m done

*2024-09-26, version 11.0*

Soon as the Yanks are done I’m cancelling YES.   App is horrible & there are also issues on my TV.  FINISHED!!!

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2024-09-26, version 11.0*

The video quality is awful, often grainy and pixelated. That’s not the worst part though, I pay to watch the Yankees games but they insert commercials into the live game when you open the app. I can’t see the game because you’re showing me an ad on a platform that I pay for.

### 1/5 — The worst app I’ve ever used

*2024-09-25, version 11.0*

This app is complete garbage, drains my phone’s battery and makes my phone burning hot.

### 1/5 — Now I can’t watch after I pay for it

*2024-09-25, version 11.0*

So I FINALLY get the YES app on my vizio tv and somehow they made it worse than the phone app. Why am i getting ads during live programming?

Now I can’t watch it anymore bc im in a different zipcode?! Bruh i PAY for cable and the Yes Network. What an absolute awful service and slap in the face of the fans

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2024-09-25, version 11.0*

Constantly freezing in the middle of the game. Plus, if you’re paying all this money to have this app, why are there commercials every two seconds when you start streaming?

### 1/5 — Constantly have to Log In

*2024-09-22, version 10.0*

You’d think that an app that changes a fortune would work better. I’m constantly having to log out and log in over and over on Apple TV. It’s an ok app but frustrating to have to do that for no reason. No other streamer makes you do that constantly.

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage

*2024-09-22, version 10.0*

Ongoing audio issue that you have to force quit over and over until it works. Absolute trash

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2024-09-19, version 10.0*

Can’t sign into the app with my tv provider anymore. Guess they’re waiting to merge with new Gotham app.

### 1/5 — App Usability

*2024-09-18, version 10.0*

Terrible app, constantly fails on many platforms. Makes you log out and sign back in almost every time if you are using a tv provider login that you pay for already. Then when you do get in half the time the stream doesn’t work. You’d think with all the money they make they would actually have an app that is streamline and smooth, another half baked product…

### 1/5 — It is not letting me get in and I’m trying to do the update but it’s taking too long

*2024-09-10, version 10.0*

I waited one hour just for freaking login on my TV

### 1/5 — Ads every time you switch to app

*2024-09-10, version 9.4*

Why am I forced to watch an ad for an app that I pay an exorbitant monthly subscription fee for?  Should be zero stars

### 1/5 — Was working fine until…

*2024-09-10, version 9.4*

The app was working fine until I can’t login with tv provider. The button doesn’t work!

### 2/5 — Bilion dollar organization can’t bother to line up Spanish audio

*2024-09-09, version 9.4*

Edit: Since posting the audio is in sync, only a one game sample size, but will up score overtime if consistent. Thank you if you heard and helped to get this fixed

Across both FiOS and the YES app for several years running the Spanish audio is consistently behind the picture on the video feed Despite the huge numbers of Spanish speaking fans and players Despite the fact that listening to the Spanish audio means constant audial advertisements along with the regular commercials, and the ads behind home plate, and the 20 dollar a month charge (despite every Wednesday being on Amazon and many Sundays on ESPN, and the occasional Friday on Apple TV and the very rare publicly broadcast Fox game)

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Yes app

*2026-04-12, version 13.0*

Horrible. Not sure why it exists because it makes you download another app. Just wanted to pay some money to watch the Yankees and see the before/after shows

### 1/5 — Cheaters

*2025-12-27, version 13.0*

I would give it a Zero but it won't let me. They don't count points that are earned . Their customer service is NON EXISTENT! They don't care about customers and don't answer emails. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THERE TERRIBLE APP . They don't even care if you have proof of photos that they are cheating customers out of points that are earned !!!! They ruined what used to be a good app — Yes app . Check out BBB this company has an F rating .

### 1/5 — Gotham sports

*2025-09-20, version 13.0*

The Gotham sports app will again not let me watch the Yankees.. I have a yes subscription but the screen freezes and will not let me watch. This has happened a number of times.. someone needs to fix this 9/15/2025… the Gotham app will not let me watch the Yankees… I have a tv subscription for yes.. this is the second time this week that I have missed a game because of that app.. the screen that lets you log on with your tv provider just freezes up and you can not continue…this is an on going problem with this app. I have miss at least 5 games this year… Once again the GS app will not grant me access.. this is about the tenth time I will miss a game on my I-pad …someone needs to fix this

9/20/2025. Another missed game thanks to the Gotham app. Went to the screen where you chose your tv provider and it freezes up, like it has done many times … probably missed 10 games.. please fix this

### 1/5 — Awful, just awful.

*2025-09-13, version 13.0*

I had to spend time to figure out how to leave this feedback.  I don’t leave feedback unless something is great or awful - this app is that awful.  

For whatever reason, it randomly decides to log me out.  To log back in you need to work thru the lack of visual cues regarding what fields you’re in, how to move forward, and a complete lack of why you’re even having to login again.  

Such an awful experience.  I will not be renewing.

### 1/5 — Must Watch A Ad Even With Paid Service

*2025-06-21, version 13.0*

Such a money grab at the expense of the paying customer. I pay over $20 a month for this app just to watch the Yankees. Nothing like running trying to catch the last inning of the game and you go to put it on and it makes you watch up to 1 minute of ads. Some not even in English. Shame on the Yankees for letting this happen

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-05-14, version 13.0*

Never works. No support. The Yankees should be ashamed of this app. You cannot watch a game with it. Nobody available from support. The app is amateur. Wish I could give it 0 stars

### 1/5 — Gotham app is poor quality to loyal paying customers

*2025-04-13, version 13.0*

A shame how they are having issues already to a loyal fan base!! Your customers deserve better !!

### 1/5 — Yanks behind a paywall

*2025-04-03, version 13.0*

Absolutely ridiculous that not only does YES hold a monopoly on the Yankee games, and only ONE service carries it, but they charge this much a month for this app that barely works? Tough being a Yankees fan..

### 1/5 — 🤮

*2025-03-30, version 13.0*

As long as you do business with the Arabs I’m out !!!!!!

### 1/5 — Dumb move

*2025-03-01, version 13.0*

Worst thing you did was moving to the Gotham app. That app crashes all the time. Tell Hal he made a bad move.

### 5/5 — i will forever miss you yes app

*2024-10-12, version 11.0*

YES app allowed people who have Xfinity to use it the new GS app doesn’t. I miss watching on my phone. i’m gonna miss you YES app. 💔

### 5/5 — Needs work

*2024-08-11, version 9.4*

Constantly kicks me out and forces me to restart the app, watch an ad, it’s endless. Not to mention how expensive the year is to watch, almost cheaper to get season tickets lol. Maybe someday MLB will figure it out

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2024-07-31, version 9.3*

This app is one of the best apps you could ever by it lets you see live stats about players and it is amazing

### 5/5 — Class Act!!!

*2022-08-31, version 4.2*

As in keeping with tradition and “Yankee Pride” the folks at YES have demonstrated excellence.  To no fault of their own I signed up using Apple and a hidden email address. 
Through great enjoyment of utilizing the app and watching games I learned to play in the their pick ‘em contest and actually won.  Bc of the email address I wasn’t receiving my link to claim the prizes and got myself frustrated. But through contacting their support staff, the problem was resolved almost immediately and with great courtesy and professionalism and the same level of excellence that is expected from any organization affiliated with the New York Yankees and their brand!  
Thanks YES Network!!!! You hit it out of the park! (Ok that was bad, I know! Lol)

### 5/5 — Display

*2022-08-26, version 4.1*

One time it has happened that I could not see the Yankees game for what reason I have no idea I had all functions,working internet phone battery, and app. I erased the app just to re download it

### 5/5 — Impressive app that’s always improving

*2022-08-25, version 4.1*

What I like about the YES app is that it’s constantly improving. Throughout the season, they add cool new features like stats, portrait mode and Pick N Play Live. They add new content like jomboy media and simulcasts. I recommend!

### 5/5 — Works great on iPhone X + Samsung Q70 TV!

*2022-05-21, version 3.9*

Reading the other reviews on here made me dubious, but I gave it a shot anyway and I am very pleased. As a diehard Yankees fan who is NYC-based but spending several months working from California this is a godsend. I can watch YES by signing in with my Spectrum account. It works great on my iPhone X streaming via AirPlay to a Samsung Q70 TV. Not true HD, but I haven’t had any glitches or anything. Plus it’s fun watching NYC’s local ads out here. Now if I could just get my Pat Kiernan “In the Papers” I’d be all set! 😀

### 5/5 — Customer service

*2022-05-19, version 3.9*

I did have some frustrations but they are clearly working the kinks out. This gets 5 stars though due to excellent customer service specifically from the yes app itself. They went above and beyond to stay responsive and to follow up to ensure my issue was resolved.

### 5/5 — keep it up

*2021-08-27, version 2.3*

this is a very good app and i rarely ever have problems with it and it’s really so cool that you can watch the game while your in the car or something this app is a game changer and i really needed something like this app, keep doing your thing YES👏🏼

### 4/5 — Why not have a paid subscription?

*2022-11-08, version 4.6*

As a Yankee, Nets, Islander fan who’s a cord cutter. I would pay a monthly subscription to watch my favorite teams. You guys are missing out on a lot of money because I’m sure I’m not the only one that would happily pay a monthly subscription to watch my teams. How about the fans that live in other states? There is a strong NY presence in almost every state in these Unites States. I hope you guys read this and consider a pay subscription for people like me.
