If I Could Give 0 Stars I Would. This app is a steaming pile of garbage that has been set on fire then dedicated on by 1,000 stray cats with intestinal issues. I do not own a cable box nor satellite or anything of that sort. I have always streamed TV, mainly live sports, using different streaming apps. Everyone of my apps works fine and has been working fine for over a year, except this piece of landfill waste put out by the Fox developers. 85% of the time the chrome cast option doesn’t even appear, and yes I reset my TV and redownload the app and check the internet connection and even turn my phone on and off, when the option works for literally 7 other streaming apps I have! Then if by some miracle this hot mess of an app lets me chrome cast the connection is jumpy and fuzzy and just a terrible overall experience. If I could create a perfect world the first thing I would do is destroy fox and the app they have created and never allow them to broadcast another sporting event!

BEST Sports App!. I LOVE the Fox Sports Go App! I’m a huge Atlanta Braves fan. Last season (2019), I watched most of the Braves baseball and other MLB games on the Fox Sports Go app with access from my cable TV provider, WOW. I loved being able to stream a live game wherever I was, instead of being stuck in front of a TV screen! I never had a problem streaming games, never had any glitches, or app crashes. If you aren’t able to start watching a live game at the beginning, you can join in and start watching live, then go back and watch the beginning after game is over. For example, if the game is in 3rd inning when you start watching, you can watch live from that point. Then, when game is over, you can watch the beginning of game. Or, you can choose to start watching at the beginning of game, even though the game is already in play. You can pause, rewind, then fast forward to present time in the game. I also streamed college football games on the app. ESPN’s sports app often lags and freezes up. But I haven’t yet experienced any lags, glitches, app crashes with Fox Sports Go app! 👍

Incredible App if You Like Not Watching Things. I have never used an app that makes me reconnect my account every single time I open it, you would think with all the nickel-and-diming they're pulling that they would have a decent product, but no. They don't. I "watch" hockey and have to turn my tv off at least once a period because it freezes up on the broadcast, I've missed at least a full game or two's worth of play which is exactly what I was hoping for going in to this season. Don't let the one star rating make you think there's anything redeeming about this app, I'd give it a negative one million stars if i could Edit: in all seriousness the app freezes or quits every ~20 minutes requiring re-activation of the device that has already been registered each time the app has been opened, if yall are going to have a multi-year deal to the rights you might as well hire a team to fix this because doing nothing for this long has to be getting old or boring or something

Torpedoed the app. This used to be a pretty good streaming platform for watching sports. This latest “update” has completely torpedoed this app. None of the events load right the first time, although it’ll of course play the two 15 second ads before telling me it failed to play the show/event (priorities, amirite?). I also have to log in every single time I close the app and open it again. And if the stream gets behind due to buffering or if I pause it, there is no “live tv” or “catch up” button, or even a way to fast forward, so I have to either exit out of the app and sign in AGAIN or use the slider at the bottom of the screen, which only allows me to fast forward a certain amount before it stops my fast forwarding and forces me to watch 30-45seconds of ads. As-is, this app is unusable and I’m forced to stream through some illegal streaming site, even though I pay for this privilege through directv.

So bad. This is by far the worst tv and sports app out there. For starters, it has all the sudden just stopped working on my Apple TV. It won’t even open the program I try to watch. It flashes a loading screen for half a second and goes back to the home screen. Have tried everything I can to fix this including resetting the Apple TV, deleting and reinstalling the app, and everything in between. Contacted customer support about it and they were useless. Tried having me answering tech questions that I didn’t even understand and I am a tech savvy guy. It is there job to figure out the deeply technical stuff, not mine. Otherwise why would I contact you? Now, for viewing on the iPhone, oh boy. It constantly freezes, usually in the middle of the biggest plays/moments, and doesn’t work with air play no matter how you try it. This is just the worst app I have ever used. You would think for such a large broadcast corporation, Fox would get this figured out. And yes, this all still happens no matter what my internet speed is or if I’m using WiFi or LTE. I have tried everything and nothing makes a difference. It truly is a joke of an app.

Comically, infuriatingly awful. Wow, where to start? Let’s start with the alleged 7.0.4 update that does not seem to exist. Current version is 7.0.2, which, oddly enough, is not listed in the version history. The option to “watch live” or “start from beginning” appears alongside a LIVE FEED of the game, completely defeating the purpose of starting from the beginning, because then you’ve already seen the score. Ok, let’s say you were lucky enough to catch the live vs beginning screen during a commercial, so you haven’t seen any spoilers. Good for you, but don’t celebrate yet, because once the live game has ended, the on-demand feed will spontaneously fast-forward to the end of the game and kick you over to the postgame recap. There is no game feed to available to go back to, so you have to wait for the replay to be available after the postgame show is done. Along those lines, but in a parallel universe, the pregame show mysteriously starts itself over in the middle, instead of flowing seamlessly into the game, causing you to inadvertently miss the first 15 minutes of the game if you’re not paying attention (and of course I’m not really paying attention to the pregame show). Only nice thing I can say is that I enjoy that the replays don’t have commercials. I’m sure they’ll ruin that soon enough. I hate this app, I hate this company, but not as much as I love my hurricanes! So I deal with it. But seriously. This app is trash.

App full of bugs, doesn’t work, lacks options. First let me start off by saying don’t subscribe to Bally through their stand alone app. They don’t have all the teams that they do through your TV provider (no Rangers games). So that renders the app worthless 4 months out of the year when baseball is the only thing going. When Mavs and Stars are in season the app doesn’t work well. If you don’t watch the game as it airs, good luck watching it. You have to wait for when it repairs and then often it is a partial game because they screwed something up loading it onto the platform if I had to guess. At either rate, the company will not refund you for service paid for but not provided. They think fishing shows and poker must’ve why people subscribe because that’s all that is ever available. I paid for services that I am not getting. They are not giving me said services. So they are thieves. Buyer beware!

David. Thank you for being there for us sports fans who want just sports unlike ESPN who wants to inject politics as I’m one of those who has deleted everything and I refuse to support them in any way. I really wasn’t spending much time on your app but what a mistake and same with radio and TV I have grown to love your work, your mindset and the men and women you have working for your company. Again, thank you for sports and if I g those of us a break from all the real stuff in life and just sports and some fun to get away from life’s real things. No deal with dying human beings everyday and so when I say what I say it’s as real as anything, I work with ALS human beings daily and for all of you who do not appreciate or understand how lucky we all are with our health and the gift of life, trust me it is hardcore and at times I have no words for how blessed we all are. Thank you Fox for everything

How is it worse than the Fox Sports App?. This is the first time I’ve ever felt compelled to review any app, but that’s how garbage this throng is. I always thought the Fox Sports Go app was clunky, but this takes that clunkiness, doubles down on it, and adds unnecessary commercials for some reason. I already pay for the content; why do I have to watch an additional two ads every time I start a new game? I especially love the low-res quality of the Verizon MLB commercial. They’ve also lost the multi-game view; not sure why they cut that. But I think my favorite feature is how the app assumes that a game is over at its scheduled ending date – so at the three-hour mark of every baseball game, you get the “your game is over screen,” essentially. The game thankfully continues to play in a PIP window (HERE they’re able to manage PIP), but it’s kind of annoying to have to click to make it full-screen again. Just weird decisions all around.

Complete Garbage App. This is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. Not only for my iPhone, but for my iPad, and Apple TV. It never works. Ever. I try to watch teams in my area and the app asks me to sign into my TV provider. I sign in, get the all clear that I’ve signed in and then it takes me back to the home page. I go to watch a game and it asks me to sign into my TV provider again. It is a CONSTANT loop of this. If it ever works on my Apple TV, it will say a team isn’t in my region when I try to watch. The app redirects me to teams in my area and the team that I’m trying to watch is in my area, I click on their icon and it sends me back in the loop. It’s a complete garbage app. I don’t pay for Bally Sports+ because I pay for cable. I guarantee you the app would magically start to work if I paid for their subscription service. This app is a scam and the developers should honestly be ashamed of their lazy attempt at making a decent app.

Best mobile T.V. App for iPhone I’ve tried.. This is the best T.V. App I’ve ever used and I’ve used a lot of them. It’s better than NBC’s, CBS’s, ABC’s and History Channel’s. I used it to watch the ALDS while walking outside. I was able to rewind and pause the game. The closed captioning worked well and my favorite thing was being able to pause the game to let it get ahead and then skip past the commercials (please don’t change this option, I HATE that on the bigger stations apps you have to sit through the commercials and if you try to skip ahead then you have to watch another set of commercials!!!) The only negative was that sometimes it would stop sometimes or get fuzzy occasionally but I don’t know if that was the app or my network buffering. But I do recommend this app. You do need to log in with your cable provider or buy a subscription (if this is an option) though to use this app.

Unusable again this MLB season. Update after update and this app still won’t let me watch either of the channels I pay for! Easily the most clueless customer support and the worst app I’ve ever tried to use!!! I had no issues for 7 years when this app was “Fox Sports GO” and the App Store should have reset the reviews when it switched to Bally Sports. This is Bally’s third season of MLB coverage and it's still riddled with bugs. I’m logged in with my cable provider and in the app I can see the 2 channels I pay for (and can watch at home) from that provider. Yet somehow every time I’m away from home and want to watch a game, I select either of those channels to stream a game and I get the same error message “Your cable provider has indicated that you do not have access to this content. Please contact your cable provider to confirm your subscription details.” …. It’s literally impossible and so aggravating!!!! Calling Bally Customer Support gets me nowhere. Exhausting.

Great app high quality. I love this app to death! I’m a huge Timberwolves fan. Well, at one point in time that wasn’t the case. I would follow the Timberwolves, you know, check the box scores and ask real fans how they would do on any given night. I was that “fan”... until this app came stumbling into my life. Now I can watch and do watch them on a very regular basis due to the notifications and the overall ease of use of this app. Now, I’m not sure how you feel about Fox as a whole, but they do sports and they do it well. Especially, in the new era. Where other companies, not to name any names *coughs NBC* have struggled in this area Fox has embraced it and did the ground work necessary to make it work. A lesson to every one out there nothing good comes without hard work. Another side note I love the World Cup and this app kept me so stupidly connected to the World Cup that all my soccer fan friends couldn’t believe the amount of ridiculous info I would spit at them. In an age where you can feel so easily left out because you didn’t catch this or didn’t catch that. This app eases the FOMO that we all hatefully and in my opinion unnecessarily experience on a daily basis. Thank you Fox or what ever third party you hired. Keep up the good work, who knows maybe I’ll give Fox News a chance. Hmm... Maybe I’ll just stick to sports for now!

Truly disappointing. I’ve never written a review before, but I felt obligated after my ongoing experience with Bally Sports. Since they took over for Fox Sports, I’ve seen a cataclysmic decline in service, connectivity, customer service, and overall viewing experience. The app didn’t work on my XBox One (I logged out and logged in 3 times, uninstalled the app, powered off, and every other problem solving solution I could think of, and customer service was no help either). I was finally able to access it on my Roku and when there was 4 seconds left of the Pacer game tonight, it cut out because the program had a run time from 7:00-9:30. Mins you, this is not the first time Bally’s has left a bitter taste in my moth. As I mentioned before, ever since they took over for Fox Spirts last year, this kind of situation has happened more often than not. If anyone from Bally’s happens to read this, I implore you, take the time to put out a quality product, instead of this haphazard app that leaves myself, and countless friends and family members scratching their heads and asking, why!?

Experience. This app has an absolutely Horrible user experience on Apple TV! Especially in regards to fast forward/rewind!! For example, if I want to skip ahead to the 3rd period of a hockey game, I have to hold down the forward direction on the Apple TV remote for the ENTIRETY OF THE 1st TWO PERIODS!!! Vs simple pause then drag forward to a point of my choosing. That takes SEVEN MINUTES OH HAVING TO HOLD THE FORWARD DIRECTION DOWN. That’s STUPID!! Another issue I randomly run into is, I’ll hold down the directional pad on the APPLE TV remote, & the time bar will be counting forward like it’s suppose to, however, once I remove my thumb it actually REWINDS THE GAME TO A POINT THATS PRIOR TO WHEN I INITIATED THE FORWARD. For example, the game will be at the 15:00 minutes remaining, I’ll hold down the forward direction, watch the time bar advance 10 minutes, remove my thumb, & not only has it not fast forwarded, ITS ACTUALLY WENT BACKWARDS IN TIME!?!?!?!? I started the forward at the 15 min mark and fast forward & this thing has actually REWINDED the game back to the very beginning?!?!?!?! Which means it’s literally impossible to jump to some point later in the game via fast forward because EVERY TIME I FAST FORWARD, ITS ACTUALLY REWARDING MORE AND MORE WITH EACH FAST FORWARD ATTEMPT. Even after restarting, resetting, the Apple TV, as well as uninstall / reinstall the ballys app. Absolutely Ridiculous!!!!

Very Buggy. This app is filled with bugs. It seems to constantly rewind and then replay content I’ve already seen while watching a live stream. I have to close and re-open the app to get close to live content, and then this issue commonly comes up yet again. It happens so often it makes the app almost unusable to watch my favorite sports teams. The live steaming feed also freezes often. It randomly lost the mini-screen feature, which was very helpful for multitasking while using my phone. When I read an article about one of my teams in the app, it frequently brings me back to the top of the article, forcing me to scroll back down to find my spot, only to have this happen multiple times again before I can finally finish the article. It’s obvious that Bally Sports doesn’t have the relationships that Fox Sports had, as the same ads come up every time I watch my favorite team. These ads have not changed during the entire MLB season, thus far. The Fox Sports app was a greatly superior experience.

Literally the worst app ever created.. Congrats to the geniuses brought on to take over Fox Sports and find a way to put out THE WORST app and service ever seen in sporting history! The ONLY thing that works consistently are the ads. I have to reboot my Apple TVs whenever I want to watch a new game the next day or switch to something else, the app randomly becomes unresponsive regularly, the sound is extremely low EXCEPT for ads, the layout is horrendous, left and right selection often stops working which requires a reboot, starting games from beginning NEVER works so I end up seeing the score late in the game despite my selection, the ability to forward or rewind often stops working, and somehow it will double the audio feed creating an echo that also requires a full reboot of my device. So seriously, congratulations for making history. Your dev team should all be banned from ever publishing any apps or web services again. Clean house. Do it immediately and hire actual professionals ASAP. It’s infuriating that these people make millions of dollars and cannot put out a basic functioning app in 2022. Jesus Christ.

Rarely works. I like Fox Sports so don’t get me wrong that I am a Pro ESPN guy; I’m not. I watch and listen to more sports talk on Fox than any other station. It’s just that this app is so buggy. The videos don’t play about 25% of the time. I had full bars today for WiFi and with my wireless provider but it kept popping up network error. Then it finally went thru and I clicked to watch the 1 highlight of the 1 goal in the World Cup game and it wouldn’t load, no error message, nothing. This has happened numerous times. Also, I have Directv and Sports package with all Fox sports channels but when I got on their website to watch a World Cup match it said it wasn’t in my package. That’s funny because when I turn on my TV it comes right up. Maybe they can’t handle the traffic of the WC right now IDK. Plus this app doesn’t have a friendly schedule browser, no scores, no sports schedules, it’s just strictly a video app. That is fine if the VIDEOS ACTUALLY WORK!😩

Doing well! - Few Things to Consider. The transition to Bally has gone well all things considered. From a developer standpoint there are a few issues with the app that should be patched - 1. The in screen mini picture functionality has disappeared - this is a highly useful feature that allows watchers and listeners to keep the game on while texting, looking at other apps, while driving to check directions, etc. 2. The TV service provider covers up more than it should in the upper right hand of the screen (This may only be for certain providers, I’ve only seen my own) 3. Rewind and pause ability is a key feature that many users like to utilize when they missed certain parts of a game. This has also happened when Bally flashed an interesting factoid at the bottom - wanted to rewind but it was lost in the sauce 4. Car functionality does not sync well and tends to lose connection with certain operating systems. 5. Just an opinion ~ The red is a little obnoxious. Great work. I’m sure most of these the team of developers are aware of.

Bally Sports is utter trash. This review is probably for the overall service instead of just the app. Starting more than a week ago I was unable to even open the app on my TV, phone, or login to the website to stream. Supposedly there was an update that caused major havoc. The problem I’m having with that explanation is that I pay $20 per month for the service to primarily watch the Carolina Hurricanes, and to a lesser extent the Charlotte Hornets. I live in suburban Raleigh, and until a week ago there were no issues. Now, on my TV I get errors ranging from DRM error to user token prevents streaming but ONLY on Hurricanes games. Other content loads fine. On my computer, no live game or channel streams ever load, and ONLY Hornets replays work. On my phone, nothing works as I’m continually advised that I’m not in my home area, which is clearly incorrect as all devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi. Spoken with Bally Sports support and they’re utterly useless. They actually told me to watch on whichever device works then hung up the phone.

The latest version released a week or two ago is horrible. The latest major update to this app that was released one to two weeks ago is causing nothing but headaches. Before this latest update, for the past 2-3 years after it transitioned from Fox sports regional networks everything was great. I signed into the app with my provider & everything worked. Since this last update at the end of October/start of November, I have to sign in every time I want to watch an event. Bally sports is forcing even their cable subscribers to create a separate Bally’s account & then sign in with the provider. There have been multiple evenings where I can’t even watch anything even after creating a bally’s account & signing in with my provider. Either their systems go down or streaming video is not working….nothing but excuses. It’s clear because of Bally’s/diamond sports ongoing economic issues with the network it is now interfering with streaming sporting events. I can’t help but hope that Bally’s ceases to exist over the coming months & give back the rights of games back to their respective leagues & teams. Our governments decision to block ESPN/Disney from taking over Fox sports regional networks during fox’s specific tv divisions sale is backfiring.

Horrible. I never leave reviews, but this app is so bad that something has to be done. I used the FoxSportGo app for years with almost no issues. It worked great. The redesign and launch as the Bally Sports app has been awful. It is now the absolute worst streaming app of any kind. It never works on the Apple TV. After logging in successfully with my provider, it gives an error that there is an issue playing this video or that I’m not entitled to the context, which is not correct. On the rare occasion that it will actually load the video, it usually will not play the audio to my external speakers. And this doesn’t even get into how terrible the navigation is in the app or how it launches an ad EVERY time you try to start a video, even if you just watched the same video 30 seconds ago and had to close the stream because it froze, and the video stream freezes ALL THE TIME! It’s terrible!! You took a really solid app and ruined it!! It is now one of the worst apps in the App Store.

A great way to watch rays games while somewhere else!. I’ve been using this app for over a year now and let me just tell you, this is probably going to be the best app to use while watching games, however there are 2 issues, 1: sometimes the game is kinda delayed on the phone, for instance: the tv can be ahead which can mostly be a 5 second difference from each other. 2: once in a while it will ask you for your tv provider (even though you already signed in) but as long as you remember it, it’s fine. But I don’t really see those 2 as a issue, as long as I am watching the game, it’s good! Definitely would recommend!

One of the best sports apps!. I primarily use the FOXSports App to watch Yankee Games. Unlike some other sports app FOXSports App allows u to pause, rewind n Fast Fwd live TV, which I like a lot. It is also very quick to load n I’ve never experienced buffering or any sort of server overload. I also like that u can access all 3 FOXSports Apps via the drop down menu n all FOXSports channels within the App. Transferring back n forth is quick n easy. The highlights tab is great n covers everything I want with ease. The future TV/App listings built into the home page is perfect. All-in-all the functionality of the App is better than most n super easy to use. I rate the App overall with a 5/5 stars by itself n in comparison to all other sports apps it’s definitely one of the best! I highly recommend it for watching Yankee games live and replays from the past. -r

Consistently fails to deliver. My only legal option to watch local professional sports games is Bally Sports. It’s a tragedy for this diehard Pistons fan because Bally is the worst media platform I have ever used and it isn’t particularly close. Nearly every viewing is struggle. Unknown errors, app crashes, login issues, ending programs too early, unexplained loss of access etc. whether it’s a phone app, website, game console app… if it’s Bally sports you can expect to be let down. The rating on this App Store is a fraud, as I have never heard of someone with a high opinion of this platform. Currently writing this as I am locked out of the app after a mandatory update. An attempt to login results in an unknown error. An attempt to reset password results in an unknown error. An attempt to make a new account results in an unknown error. This is the standard experience with Bally. I pray for the downfall of this incompetent business

It’s Not That Hard To Do. Look, you had a good app base to design from, many companies have already done it - and it looks like you’ve been doing this for a couple years - so, it’s surprising to see how bad this app is. Have you done zero consumer research? Because literally nobody likes the 30 seconds of pre-launch ads. And even if they don’t mind those, they definitely don’t like the additional 30 seconds of advertisements if you accidentally close out, or hit the menu button, or if you select “Enhanced View” or whatever the stupid description you have for “full screen.” Additionally, your volume matching is broken for the AppleTV app. Not great for folks that want to hear the game, but also don’t want the advertisements (THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE ON THE BROADCAST) to blow out their ear drums. Please take this as constructive feedback; these aren’t difficult fixes/decisions, business or technical.

BALLY/DIRECTV STREAMING. I am very upset with both Bally Sports Florida and DIRECTV STREAMING. I have been trying for 3 nights to get the Tampa Bay rays games on my television, each of the three nights I have done with instructions exactly the way I was told by the BALLY customer service person and he also informed me that I would not have to go through this another time as it would be an automatic thing when I signed on to watch the games. Well, that does not happen! I am still not able to get onto watch the games when they come on. It’s bad enough that we can’t watch the games through the regional or local programming as we always have been able to because of this blackout that MLB has imposed upon our area. If I can’t get help opening the link to get to the Tampa Bay rays games, I will cancel my DIRECTV streaming. I am not dealing with these cute little tricks if the MLB seems to think they should do! Please have someone get in touch with me so I can get this straightened out before the game comes on tonight. I am tired of putting in a login and password each time I have to each time I go onto the Bally Sports to get the game. If I don’t hear from you by the end of the day,I will cancel the DIRECTV and take my chances with watching games the games

Nothing works. I wish there was at least 1 good thing to say about this app- but there isn’t. Most of the time the stream buffers every couple of seconds, half the time content that I should not be blacked out on is region locked for me. Because Bally Sports is too lazy to make a native app for Samsung Smart TVs I am forced to AirPlay to my TV, which doesn’t work half the time. The other half that it does has an insane amount of sound issues. For 1, when you first AirPlay to your tv the audio is basically at the lowest possible setting. So you turn the volume up, only for the volume to randomly start playing at an extremely loud level that easily causes noise damage. On top of that commercials play at at least 3x the DB of your regular content. And please don’t get me started about the actual UX of the app, which I suspect was designed by a blind 73 year old. This has to be hands down the worst app on the App Store, so bad in fact I’m not sure how it passes Apple’s minimum standards.

Worse the fsg. Just generally disappointed with the entire layout of the app and good things fox sports go had that they removed. With fox it was so much simpler, open the app and right away a screen of the currently live sports. Not highlights, then news, then regional news then the games. I guarantee a major of the people with the app just want to watch the games not read articles about some Tennis match at the Madrid open. Then comes the problem with watching the games, fox sports go had the Picture in Picture multitasking so you could exit the app and still be watching the game. Bally even if you swipe down to check your notifications the stream stops even more so with setting I can’t even check my battery percentage without having the steam pause and it’s just annoying and something I hope they bring back

If I could rate a zero out of five, I would. The absolute WORST sports app. IF, and its s big if it actually works it then becomes 50/50 if the app will crash during the game 100% of the time it crashes when first loading the app. Then, the interface makes it very difficult to clearly see what sports you are selecting and the multiple screens it makes you click through if watching Pre-game, the game itself and finally the Post-game (just make all three one selection to watch). Never an error message why these crashes occurred the screen typically just stays black until you the user get frustrated and reload the app. Unfortunately my hockey/basketball/baseball teams are all only available through Bally so they have me over a barrel. all of this might be somewhat passable if the app only costs $5/month but at $20/month it’s absolutely unacceptable in this day and age of streaming. If my Detroit teams ever offer other alternatives to watch I will be jumping ship ASAP. I recommend everyone avoid this app if you have any other alternatives.

Horrible. I am rating this two stars because at the very least it lets me see Reds games. However, even with a strong internet connection that works for several other apps that require internet, the app freezes constantly. When it freezes, it forces me to exit the game, tap on it again, wait five to ten seconds for an ad to load, wait six seconds for the same Miller Lite ad to end, and wait another five to ten seconds for the game to load. Then, it plays until the next pitch, and freezes again. Repeat process. It is stupid that you have to use this app and watch extra ads to watch games that you already have a cable subscription for. The old Fox Sports Go app never had these problems. I only use this app because I have to if I want to watch the games. If you have another option, do not use this app.

2 issues. I had to make this 5 stars because my 1 star review wouldn’t go through. Hmm 1. Lately I’ve been having to sign in again almost every time I open the app. 2. An old problem that seemed to be solved with a previous update has once again started with the latest update: when signing in with DirectTV, it won’t accept a userID. It will only accept an email address, which DirectTV doesn’t use anymore. Again, this very annoying problem from last year seemed to be fixed but has started again. Last year it was only a problem on the app and would work on the website on a pc, but I haven’t checked the website yet this time around. Please fix this, as this is the only way I get to watch the Cardinals!!

This app is a waste of space. I must not be watching the same sports as the people who think this app is amazing. I have tried multiple times on multiple occasions to watch a game they advertise as having available and I have yet to have success watching anything. Either it cannot authenticate my service provider or it gives me a black screen. One person who left a review said that all the haters are spoiled. Sorry. If an app promises to do one job and can’t manage to do that one job then I don’t think we are all spoiled. It would be perfectly understandable if there were a few glitches during a game. Frustrating sure, but understandable considering this is a live stream. But when you can never get the app to do the one job it is supposed to do (show you a live feed of the sporting event you want to watch), then that is a problem. I think it’s time for some major updates and improvements to this app.

Used to be great, now it’s complete garbage. This app was fantastic when it was Fox Sports Go. Since the transition to Balley's Sports, it has become hot trash. 1. They removed the ability to watch two games at once. 2. You used to be able to seamlessly switch back and forth between two different games, but now you’re forced to watch commercials every time you switch to a different game, regardless of whether or not there is a break in play. 3. The game randomly converts to a small screen in the upper right corner right in the middle of a game, forcing you to click on it in order to return to full screen. 4. Half the time during commercial breaks, you're forced to stare at a static Balley's home screen for 2-3 minutes. 5. The stream freezes ALL the time! You generally need to restart the app to get it going again. 6. Like a lot of people have already mentioned, the feed randomly transitions from high resolution to hardly watchable resolution for no apparent reason. This new app is an absolute joke. A complete embarrassment compared to the previous version. This company should be ashamed at what they’ve tried to pull on their viewers. Pathetic.

Can’t even tell what type of sport you’re watching. By far the worst of the sports viewing apps. It’s great if it is working, but that is usually around only 25% of the time. The other 75% is a mixture of black screens, frozen screens, and video quality that is so pixilated you can’t even tell what type of sport you’re even watching, let alone what is happening. The app will seemingly randomly drop resolution from normal to unwatchable when there is absolutely no change in connectivity and even regularly when your connection increases (i.e. from 3 bars to 5). It’s almost as if they put in the rewind function because they know that you’ll never be watching a game live if you actually want to see it. Don’t be fooled by the relatively high rating (3.1 stars as of this writing) the only positive reviews are about the quality of the content of the app (the amount of games and sports available to watch on FS go) and not the quality of the app itself, which is horrendous. Maybe they just don’t care because they know they have exclusive TV rights to most of their content so you physically can’t go elsewhere to watch games, because this app is atrocious. Sometimes my iPhone will even lock in the app as it freezes for so long and doesn’t make any attempt to unfreeze itself lest you exit out and start the video again. Please make changes soon as I pay for the ability to watch the World Cup but can usually only get about 20-30 minutes of a 90+ minute match.

Why is this app making things so bad?. Honestly, my husband is a sports fanatic! So we downloaded this app and half the time it won’t work as an app on the tv, so he has to mirror it from his phone, and half of THAT time it doesn’t work! He even pays for it! So honestly what is the problem? In my personal opinion, if you want to corner the market on certain games and teams, then your app should work. All they’re doing by not improving its ability to function is making people give up on sports bc it’s too frustrating to get it to work. Don’t charge people money if you can’t get your tech to work consistently. What a fail! Get better, Bally! We have no other complaints and neither do any of our friends or family other than Bally. You’re losing people. We have AI that can make paintings and music but you can’t get an app to work? Give me a break!

Very Unorganized Layout. The only reason it gets 2 stars is because once you find the game you want, the app is actually doing what it should. Countless issues with the biggest being the navigation or layout of the app in finding games... it should be extremely easy to fire up the app and click the game to watch I know is about to start. But no. I spend at least a few very frustrating minutes searching for the game that starts right now only to find it 3/4 down the page and after many clips or games that aren’t starting for hours or even days or even replays. Very unorganized layout. Apps and TV networks have been making guides for decades and it should be very simple to make the app functionally to find games as good if not better then the former Fox. Or at the very least, anything starting in the next hour should be at the immediate forefront of the app when you fire it up. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! Also the app is very buggy still and games just go black in error at least a couple times each time

Missing Features and More Ads!. It’s not cool to get an app refresh and have missing features. The Fox Sports Go app had the ability to do Picture in Picture, not this version. Also, now you have to watch 2 ads before you start streaming any game/show, not so with the old Fox Sports Go App. And make sure you start pregame shows in a “channel” so that it will auto continue into the actual game. Found that out the hard way when the pregame show restarted, making me miss the first part of the game. The old Fox Sports Go app would just continue into the game from the pregame show without you having to worry about it. The streaming quality is fine with the Apple TV, but the ipad/iPhone version keeps freezing the game after 10/15 minutes, making me having to restart the game and have to watch those 2 ads again. Please bring back the PnP and stop forcing more ads on us!

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” - Me. Over the course of time, the importance of updating and making new user experiences on applications is generally a pretty good thing. Some companies make their apps easier to use, some add more features and some revamp their apps to be more innovative. Sometimes, the consistent chase of innovation takes something that was good and makes it absolutely horrible. This is the case for the Bally Sports app. In the past, the app was simple, easy to use, never logged you out of neither your account (which was not needed before) nor your TV provider. With the new version of the app, launched about a year or so ago, the end user has been gifted with constant log outs and a much more difficult platform to watch the sports we’re all here for. I hope that eventually this gets fixed because the previous version wasn’t broken, so why’d we have to fix it with something significantly worse.

Never fails to fail. The only reason I even got this app was because they do not broadcast the Dallas maverick games on local channels or cable. If I ever have to step away and want to push pause on the app, when I hit unpause, it never fails to tell me that there is a connection error, and I have to close the app entirely. When I re-open the app, it catches me up to the live point of the game which ruins it for me cause I like to watch every second of my games. The only reason I even have this app is just to watch the Mavs and this app constantly crashes on me. There there are several times where I’m watching the game live and it restarts the game for me out of nowhere. This app is a big spoiler for fans like me. I try to watch the games real time. Especially when I pause the game because when I come back, I fully expect to pick up where I left off. And if the app crashes, then I should still be able to pick up where I left off. This is very frustrating for a fan like me.

Fox Sports SW. I would like an explanation from Fox Sports why a positive “customer service” dispute with Dish TV cannot be reached? I have spoken to Dish on many occasions regarding the inability of both Dish and Fox Sports not being able to reach an agreement regarding money. Do you both honestly think this is fair to the patrons and customers who are powerless to do anything? They say they have offered a compromise that Fox will not accept. So far in Oklahoma, we have missed the whole Thunder season of viewing. A Dish tech told me Dish thought the Thunder season was going to be a bust and they did not want to subscribe any longer, just like they did with HBO. All we want are answers and to know whether there are even any negotiations going on or not to resolve this and resume coverage of our sports events!

Piece of Garbage (All Platforms). This is likely the most frustrating hunk of junk app I’ve ever used. Ideally, I would use the Bally app on the Firestick to stream games for my Dallas-area sports teams, but it’s junk on that platform. I installed it on my XBox. That too is a no go, complete junk. So as a last resort, I thought I’d try the iOS app and cast it to the Chromecast. Nope, that doesn’t work either. Since Bally’s took this over from Fox Sports, it’s been nothing but extreme frustration. I’ve streamed games for my Dallas-area teams almost daily for quite some time using the Fox Sports Go app which wasn’t perfect, but I could at least watch games without constant annoyance. This Bally’s app is simply terrible; the interface is confusing, the game streams constantly fail with unhelpful error messages, there are random crashes, and the tech support is just standard regurgitated babble. The worst part is there is no other source for streaming these games. Maddening!

Really Bad Coverage. Loved Fox Sports and used to love watching the Braves games…. Then it got bought out by Bally. That’s when things really went south. At the beginning we had covwrage but then SE just disappeared from the app and somehow merged with South. I’m from NC so theoretically I should get coverage for either the Braves or the Nationals. Nope. They decided to only say that the Reds were in my territory. Umm nope. They switch back and forth between the Reds and the Braves but favor the Reds. It just doesn’t make any sense regionally wise. The last straw was the Reds v Braves game. Surely, that was the one guaranteed game right? WRONG. How, how, did this not air????? Seriously disappointed, I just don’t understand this issue. Do not recommend this app at all, would be better off just paying for MLB TV. The worst part is that you can see the Braves game… but it’s not included in my coverage as it is not in my region…. But the Reds are??? I live in NC! Uggg so frustrating.

Not worth the crazy price. For context, I live in the PNW but I purchased Bally Sports+ to watch the Atlanta Hawks, exclusively. I share the account with my brother (account owner) who lives in Atlanta. First off, $200/year is a crazy high price tag for any streaming service. Not to mention that this high price ONLY gives you access to regional sports teams. However, I subscribed anyways because I love the Hawks but boy do I regret it. I have used the app to watch Hawks games for a couple of months until it recently started restricting my access to Hawks games because I’m not in the right location. Why does this matter when: 1) the official account owner lives in Atlanta, and 2) you charge $200 for the service? I tried getting an answer from the customer care team but they were no help as I found myself explaining the same thing over and over. It’s an unbelievably high price for how limited the viewing options are. To charge the HIGHEST PRICE OUT OF ALL STREAMING SERVICES, Bally should at least let you watch your team’s games out of state, especially when the account owner lives in the required area. I love the Hawks and love the Bally broadcast, but I will never renew my subscription because of these limitations. The only reason I subscribed in the first place was because I’m a die hard hawks fan. Without that, what little value there was to justify such a high price is gone.

Can’t watch it anywhere except my phone. The only way to watch Bally sports plus is on my phone or with apple airplay. But the only tv that I have that actually has the airplay capability it won’t connect to. I have a roku on one of my TVs which is the only tv that I can actually get the Ya app on and the first time I went to play it it said something about it being out of region so I couldn’t watch it. Then the next time I tried a few days later and it said it couldn’t connect and to try again later. I wish the app was available on smart TVs. And not just the new TVs so that we are forced to go out and buy all new TVs. So far this service is very inconvenient and disappointing. It needs to be easier to access on an actual tv. I miss the days when we could just turn our tv on and pick a channel. Nowadays u have to find and pay for a streaming service, sign in, register your device and pray that you have a good enough connection to be able to watch whatever it is u want to watch. I’m pretty disappointed.

UPDATE - How the **** could MLB get involved in this?. After 70 minutes, working on 3 different platforms, managed to create an account and get my cable provider signed in. I am not an app developer, but I am an IT professional and this experience was awful. Unresponsive and not intuitive. (Checked my WiFi speed several times during this and it was consistently over 200 Mbps) After that it still wasn’t easy to find the game I wanted to watch or to load it once I found it. Once that was all completed, the game stream was consistent and clear, no problems with display or inserts blocking my view of the game. Really, the actual viewing experience was great, so there’s hope that they’ll continue to improve the app. Next season I’d like to contract with MLB to broadcast some games some of the time, using my iPhone 6s. I can promise better coverage and better functionality, and a better roll-out. And I’ll promise not to use a previous app’s reviews and rating to bolster my app.

Brutal app. This app disappoints me every time I try to use it. And I’m not trying to execute complex features. I’m just expect it to stream what I want to watch but literally every time I try to watch something I have one problem or another. And I’m not taking about the annoying commercials that are played when I start a stream (which is annoying when you have to start the same stream multiple times a showing due to the app not working). I’m taking about simple things like navigation. It constantly gets stuck not letting me nave to the right. Or the stream stopping and asking me to retry (and when yes the commercial starts back up). Seriously. I just want to watch the game and not have to use my remote to interact with the app to make that work. Also have seen times where it will jump back and play the same 10 seconds it just played before throwing an error asking me to retry. Really bad quality software that I was hoping would improve over time but has actually gotten worse.

Garbage. This app has been complete trash ever since the switch over. I miss a good half of the games I’m trying to see. As soon as it goes to commercial I know I’ll be missing at least 3 min of anything after the commercial and it comes back 5 min late so I am 5 min behind on the “Live” feed. I will have to close it completely, restart it, go through the mandatory 30 seconds of commercials to start again, reset the cast then try to get the stream to start all to be behind again in the live action. Any freeze during the game and I have to manually slide the progress bar forward to “go live” to only maybe be 3 minutes behind if I’m lucky. I’m trying to stick with it because I want to be able to “watch” my team but I’m just about done messing with it. I’ll just stick to radio and Bally’s has lost a consumer. Tried to get technical support and it took days of time to tell me to turn it off and back on and see if that works. Thanks but I’ll just stick to radio I think. Thanks for nothing Bally’s.

I wish I could rate this app 0 stars. I wish I could rate this app 0 stars, it is so infuriating! Despite having an account and connecting my TV provider to said account, every single time I open the app I must sign in again and reconnect my TV provider, an issue that no other streaming apps seem to have. 75% of the time the video quality is so poor, glitching and delayed audio, an aspect of sports viewing I consider pretty important. It’s a shame that Bally is the only streaming service that carries the teams I follow, because I would certainly be switching to the competitors if I could. In addition, the SAME five commercials are constantly on repeat in the exact same order every intermission. I understand this is not fully in the network’s control but for someone who watches lots of sports, a little variety or even a switch up in the order would go a LONG way. I don’t understand why they don’t have the money to hire a decent software engineer to spend an hour and fix these issues, seems like no other streaming service has any of these problems!

Not working. We pay for Directv which h Carries the brewers and buck. We are away and trying to stream the game. It keeps coming up that and error occurred and please contact Bally sports if it’s wrong. I have now three times. They told me the weather is impacting my ability to stream from wifi and cellular. I replied saying that is impossible as it was sunny and 75 and that doesn’t impact wifi and cellular in the first place.. they proceeded to ignore my follow up. I submitted a request the next day asking as I still had the same response when trying to watch. They told me it must not be the right package (I’ve been using the app for months on my phone to watch so clearly I have the right package) or to try a different device. In my request I said I tried to use multiple devices, brewers, laptop and phone, and nothing works. I responded telling them this and again received no response. I have now submitted a third response in hopes they finally listen when I tell them there is something wrong on their end giving us access to the content. Really wish they could have fixed this long ago. They charge and arm and a leg for the content we love and can’t even fix it when something goes wrong. I am extremely disappointed in this interaction and service. This is unacceptable.

Worst Streaming App Ever?. The switch from Fox Sports to Bally has been a joke. I’ve given the developers months and months to sort things out but it only seems to get worse. I’ve had to log in roughly 600 times during this NBA season. I’ve never seen any app make you login more than Bally. I think I logged into Fox Sports 2 times in my life, but with Bally it’s EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. Then once I log in it’s not like my local teams are shown on the main page I have to go seek out my region. And if you get lucky enough to actual stream the game it’s 45 to 90 seconds behind. Even though I pay to get the channel for the last few weeks I’ve resorted to finding an illegal stream online so I can watch reliably and don’t have every big moment ruined because I am a minute behind. Pure garbage all around. Bally Sports should be embarrassed.

Worst streaming app. This app can’t hardly get any worse. Besides the fact you have to have cable to access the games, the games are so annoying to watch on here. If you turn on the braves pregame, once it ends you have to back out and turn on the main stream or you’ll just miss the beginning of the game. And at the end of the game, the crucial 9th inning, I’d the game runs long. The screen shrinks to 15% of the normal size and gets placed in the top right corner. You can open the screen back up but it lasts about 30 seconds and Shrinks again. There is nothing you can do to fix this. Sinclair group needs to lose all rights to the braves, hawks, atl United, Nashville predators. Or really any sport, they have no clue how to please the fans

Ok, but missing the features from Fox Sports Go. Really need to bring back PiP. That’s a huge miss for me. I would prefer not as much navigating to get to the game I’m trying to watch. I use the app to watch Angel games and it always seems like I have to scroll past news and other items to get to the game. I appreciated it when it was the first thing that came up, especially if you’re signed in and the team is marked as a favorite. The app on my Apple TV has not played game audio for the last several weeks too. Not sure what that’s about. Audio works fine on iPhone but for whatever reason it has disappeared on the Apple TV. Ads play audio but then as soon as it cuts to the game audio is gone.

Absolute Garbage. I primarily use this app to cast to my TV. The casting is extremely spotty. The broadcast will often freeze and I will be forced to reconnect to my TV and catch up. I can confidently say this is not a wireless network issue as all my other casting apps work seamlessly. Pretty unacceptable when you’re watching live sports. Speaking of unacceptable issues, the audio is an embarrassment. For some unknown reason, the broadcast audio is extremely low. So I have to jack up the volume on my TV in order to hear it, only to have my ears blown out when the broadcast cuts to commercial because the commercials are at a normal level. These issues have persisted for well over year and I’m already missing the Fox Sports app, never had these issues with that gem.

Total regret!. Downloaded the app to be able to still watch my favorite SoCal teams after I cut the cable. I’ve had constant issues with my subscription. I was charged twice when signing up. Luckily apple fixed that straight away. Now here I sit after 2 weeks of no audio at all when I use my Apple TV. I’ve tried every possible troubleshooting step provided and spent 30 min on the phone just to be told that my issue will be escalated and I’ll receive an email at some undisclosed future date. I have paid for the entire year and requested a prorated refund. I was told that I agreed to no refunds when I signed up for the service. I guess I’ll have to escalate with apple and my bank to refund the charges since ballys doesn’t want to do right by their customers. Do yourselves a favor and steer clear of this app!

Wonderful to view Cards and Blues games when I’m on vacation. So nice to be able to view Cardinals/Blues games while I’m on vacation. I’m new to DIRECTV which carries the Bally Sports network. I was very frustrated in the beginning because I could never connect to the games. Then one day I got the bright idea to try going to Bally and see if I can just see it on their website. When I did, I went to the game to view it but it asked me who my television vendor was. When I told Directv, it connected me immediately to the game! I was so excited.

Video works 75% of the time. There are three main reasons this app is awful. 1. The video constantly cuts out during live sports. In the middle of the action. Sometimes closing the app helps fix the issue. Often it does not and I can’t watch anything. 2. When the video does work, the audio is often out of sync. Not just with the ipad app, but I notice this issue on my Roku also. I primarily watch CBJ games on Bally’s, so maybe that broadcast just has issues across the board. But Bally’s is the broadcaster, so regardless of where the issue actually lies, it’s Bally’s fault. 3. They make you watch an ad every time you start the channel. Need to switch to another app to answer a message for 10 seconds? Congratulations, you get to watch a 30 second ad when you come back to your game. Need to restart the app because the video, yet again, cut out? Your reward is getting to see a 30 second ad. It’s awesome. I’m already paying for this channel via spectrum. Why am I watching more ads than what are already in the broadcast? It’s a cruel joke. If there were any other way to (legally) watch CBJ games in market I would use it over Bally’s. But there isn’t. Which is why they can get away with this trash.

Horrible Horrible Horrible. I use this app on my iPhone 6 Plus to watch Yankees games on the YES Network. The app frequently goes from HD to standard. Then it will completely freeze. I will miss sometimes 10 minutes of a game while I wait for it to unfreeze. Also there is a volume problem with the app. When the Yankee games are on the volume will be very low. I have my volume up high. I thought this was a problem on my end but as soon as the game goes to commercials the volume goes way up. None of these problems happen on my other streaming apps. So all I can conclude is it's a problem on your end. I have emailed you guys and all you say is you will forward my problems to the right department. That was over a year ago and I still have the same problem. You should be ashamed of how you treat your customers who use this app. If I could give 0 stars I would

Please just fix it. Restarting at every single commercial break and going back to the beginning of the broadcast, as multiple people have said. Please just fix it. I’m not a software person but I imagine it can’t be that hard to fix this bug in the coding. I’ll send you $5 to contribute to your software team if you promise to fix this issue. This actually was a decent app once upon a time. I used to be able to watch a full game beginning to end with 0 issues.

Good with some Glitches. Commercials are short! I really like how you can join an event live or watch from the beginning an event that’s already started. However, sometimes the audio gets mixed up and you hear both the beginning audio and current audio at the same time. Exiting out of the video player and restarting usually fixes the problem. I mainly use this for the World Cup, and appreciate the highlights in addition to live play. However, several of the highlights (over half!) don’t work when you hit play - neither the video or audio, even though it shows it’s playing in the progress bar.

Works great for me. I don’t understand why so many reviews complain about buffering or inability to access on TV. My Sony is several years old, the app embedded in the TV works fine. I have access to high quality broadband and have never had a problem. My complaints are only with navigation (once I find the game it runs fine) and the slow pace of the advance and rewind functions. Price-wise, I imagine Bally loses money on this app. This is regional sports not national programming. The audience is fairly limited.

Best sports app by far for iPad. Ive never reviewed an app but I had to thank you guys.. I've always had ESPN and nbc sports apps and have no liked many features you guys took everything I didn't like and fixed it. You can replay all events and not have commercials, you can fast forward or rewind, you have clips and you can start at beginning or live viewing (ESPN can't fast forward, deletes most their shows day after) (NBC too many commercials and not a lot of replay options) Best sports app ever thank you now get some more important sports events so I only have to watch you guys thanks

Bally Sports is fine, App is now worse. I understand that media deals happen and Bally Sports has taken over the Fox Sports regional networks, I have no problem with that. But WHY did they have to take an excellent app (Fox Sports Go) and change it to make it worse in every conceivable way?? There are now more ads, convoluted menus, no minimized play, and worse stream controls. Really feel these changes were unnecessary. Takes a lot longer to find and load a stream you want to watch and then you have to sit through ads, not the normal TV ads, extra ads that were never present on the previous version. Hoping we can return some of the features of the old version in the future. This feels like a step back for usability. Disappointed!

I could not hate this app any more than I do. We had Fox Sports Go previously and I never had an issue. Now we have Bally Sports and I watch the Cleveland Indians through them. Every single day, whether it’s on my iPhone, Fire Stick, or directly online through my desktop computer, I get the error, “There is an issue playing the video……”. I have to reboot, and sometimes it lets me log in, but most times it does not. I signed up for the account, I have it linked to my cable provider, but still nothing. I would honestly say it works about 20% of the time. Yes I could just watch it on cable, except I do not have a cable box in my office, I have the FireStick, and everything else works great on it except for this app. I am beyond frustrated.

Way too many bugs. I love this app for the simple fact that I can watch all my local teams and pause, rewind, skip to highlight plays, and even watch a game that finished earlier in the day. My main issue is that when I watch on my Xbox it will flash a black screen in the middle of games for sometimes 5 minutes. It will keep the audio live and show the game a for a few seconds and eventually just disconnect me. On my iPhone it will struggle to keep up with the live and sometimes freeze or just replay the same part over and over again until I close the app and re open it. Please update the app to fix my problems and I will change to 5 star( yes I know you can’t fix Xbox but fixing the phone problems will make me very happy)

Better than expected. I didn’t expect much from this app, just wanted to be able to catch my regional NHL team’s games while away from home. They are always available and I’ve never had a problem with connection or quality with a good data or wi-fi source. I can even cast from the app to my TV which is a great plus. Allows me to also catch regional NBA games and college basketball. Occasionally I will get a black screen when pressing play after pausing or losing signal, but it is easily fixed by completely closing out and restarting the app and doesn’t happen enough to bother me. None of the issues with blackouts that you get with ESPN either.

From 5 Stars to Negative 5 stars. Fox Sports GO was the best sports app!! BUT they decided to be fancy and now you no longer can watch replays of your favorite sports debate shows, it redirects you to the original “Fox Sports Go” app and won’t allow you to watch replays. You can only watch live content. Yes, the streaming for the live content plays very well with little to no buffering but most people can’t watch Undisputed or The Herd because they have to work, at my job I can still watch these shows live but I loved how I could wait till my lunch break to watch a replay of an earlier telecast. FOX sometimes less is better. I’m hoping you you allow users to watch replays of an old show on the fox sports app very soon or many people will jump permanently to ESPN, at least ESPN you can rewind/fast forward or watch a show anytime and anywhere

Terrible. I use this app solely for watching Milwaukee Bucks games…or attempting to watch Milwaukee Bucks games anyway. Far more often than not the stream will REPEATEDLY freeze for a couple seconds and then start up again… until it eventually freezes up for good (usually during a commercial break) at which point you’ll need to restart the app. And this will happen again…and again and again over the course of a single game. Every now again I’ll get lucky and only have to do this once or twice during a game. But today, as per usual, it’s half time and the steam has frozen on me half a dozen times already. This is inexcusable. For the love Christ fix this abomination of an app because it’s beyond awful.

One star?. Had to give a star to write the review… worst sports streaming app ever produced. Odds are you sign into your subscription and it won’t let you watch anything due to “error viewing”. But every now and then it doesn’t let you sign in to your subscription. If it does start playing you better hope you are watching on your 4” phone screen because casting and streaming is an all out disaster; errors, app shutdowns, casting disconnects are the entire experience. Don’t buy this subscription you video will buffer every second on actual game play. Biggest joke I’ve ever paid for. Oh and customer service is no help at all if they even respond. Thanks Bally (fart sound). Any online streaming site is 10x more reliable. Bleep you Bally.

Absolutely awful. Far and away the worst live streaming app in existence. Constantly crashes, forces you to log out and back in to get it to work, and overall is massively behind any and all competitors. The UI is nice, but is completely irrelevant because you will hardly ever get a stream to work. Oh, but the Ads load fine though, so there’s that silver lining. Of course the thing that makes them money never has any issues. Also, don’t even bother trying to watch/listen to a stream while on the road, because the stream will crash roughly every 30 seconds on a 5G connection. I’m blown away by the sheer level of incompetence and the lack of care exhibited here. But it’s my only option to watch most of my games, so they’ve got a captive audience.

App is trash now. Fox Sports Go worked great. Special thanks to your developers coming in and ruining something that worked perfectly. That takes a special brand of talent. Stutters every 15-20 seconds and freezes up during EVERY single force commercial (since it doesn’t just show you the commercials that are on live tv, they have to force feed you commercials for their other crap apps instead.) I have to stop casting, reload the app, reload the stream, and cast again between EVERY SINGLE INNING. Absolutely pathetic. Also, if the game runs longer than the allotted time (which happens frequently in baseball) , then I can’t watch anymore. Since the app thinks the game is over, you can’t load back into the stream. It only shows the next days game in the games list.

Changed for the worse. This app used to be excellent! The last couple of months we started having to delete and completely redownload the app to get a live game to show up as an option to select. Then we started having trouble watching a game after it was over like we normally could if we missed it. Then none of these things worked and we literally couldn’t get the game to play until we switched over to the paid app subscription instead of relying on logging in with our compatible cable provider. GARBAGE. The app needs an update to fix! We shouldn’t have to pay for the cable subscription AND a separate BSN streaming subscription. BSN only cares about the profit and not their customers!

I never write reviews but…. Yikes. It was fine when it was FoxSportsGo still. It had your teams right on the front page, you clicked what you wanted to watch and it loaded into the steam. Now they’re trying to make it a sports news app that you can also watch ads, I mean games on. Seriously ads on the every page of the app. You open up a video and it’s an ad that you can skip, but it skips to an unskippable ad. Then when you finally get to the video to watch the game it starts buffering. Then it plays for 30 seconds and buffers again. It says you’re watching live but because of the buffering you’re at least 2 minutes behind. I gave up and decided to watch through the browser on my computer but it still buffers there. It is a joke of an app from a joke of a company

Inconsistent.. The app and the website are constantly inconsistent. I have never felt the urge or need to write a review about any app I have previously used and I’ve been using an iPhone for over 12 years, but Bally has continued to let me down. When I try to use the app each time it claims that the password I had used moments earlier on the website that worked is somehow incorrect. When I try to login in to my account on a tv and need to activate the account via web browser, the website will claim that I am in a different location than I actually am and will refuse me access. You never know when it will work and when it won’t. It has been a giant disappointment of a transition at least for me, an avid Cleveland Cavaliers fan. I hope this app is more consistent for others that use it.

Do NOT recommend. This is the worst app we have ever used. We paid $189 to be able to watch the Tigers and can’t the majority of the time because the app shows we are located in another state and will not refresh to our current location (which is MI). When we called customer service and they refreshed our location, we fluctuated between WI, OH, MN, and OK. I have tried other tv’s in the house and sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. When we get lucky and the app actually recognizes our location, it lags so bad that we have to refresh it about every 5 minutes. We unfortunately already paid for the entire season, but have canceled our subscription for next season. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anybody and wish we could get our money back for this season since we can’t watch the games anyway.

When will this be fixed?. Fox, your app is absolutely terrible. I am trying to watch the Blues @ Avalanche game and to say the streaming doesn’t work is an understatement. I wish this were an isolated incident but it is pretty par for the course with every time I use your horrible app. Streaming is not a new idea, but every time I try to watch a game all I get is unbearable lag, overlapping audio, and stream quality that makes 80’s video game graphics look like full HD by comparison. Seriously, aren’t you guys embarrassed to have your name attached to this garbage? Illegal websites run out of someone’s basement provide more consistent and better quality streaming than this app. Your video quality for the commercials is GREAT so you have that figured out, now when will the live stream quality be fixed?

It’s so bad that I miss the Fox Sports app. So bad. Every. Single. Game.... there’s an issue. Apparently Bally thinks every game ends at the 3 hour mark. So if things go smoothly before the 3 hour mark, consider yourself lucky but you’ll be watching the rest in a little PIP picture in the corner of your TV. As glitchy as the Fox sports app was, this is 100x worse. How do you even release this to the public? I would be embarrassed to have my name on that app. Tried every way, Xbox, AppleTV, Roku, all stream the same. I bet Bally’s is regretting getting the naming rights from Diamond Sports, who obviously don’t know how to make an app. It’s so bad I’ll never go into a casino owned by Bally’s. No update or fix after almost 50 games? Do you care? Do you even read these reviews? As long as you’re still making money right....

Help. I cannot get this app to work on my iPad. I need help. I keep getting the message that it cannot show content as I have not given access for my location. I have. I gave permission to use blue tooth. I am on WIFI. I have signed into my tv server. I can watch on my iPhone but prefer my iPad. What’s up. Message says my location may be out of the country. This is so very frustrating. I have had this app for several years. It has worked fine until now. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it. I have turned my iPad off and back on. I need help.

Catastrophic issue that needs fixed immediately. I truly don’t understand how this app has 4 stars. Everything about Bally is horrible. The subscription price, the app, the viewing experience, everything. But I can put all that aside if I can watch my favorite sports team. BUT EVERYGAME I CAN WATCH THE END. There is a catastrophic issue that completely ruins the viewing experience. Sports games rarely end at the “televised end time” so the game goes into the postgame show. But with Bally. That means the viewing screen shrinks and the program forces you to click the postgame show. But almost everytime I can’t watch the postgame show because it’s still “upcoming” it isn’t live for some reason. So I have to watch the game in the ended stream. But when I try to make it big enough to watch the playhead menu is overtop the game and it’s blocking a third of the screen. And if I press back or whatever to get it to go away ot goes back to the tiny screen. So until I can watch the postgame show I’m forced to see the end of the game with the playhead or a tiny little box. This is horrible and makes fans miss huge endings, overtime’s, or their team winning. Fix this. NOWWWWW

Bugs. I mostly use this to cast games to my TV and it’s often glitchy. Lots of short buffering pauses that make it painful to watch when they happen on a regular basis (which is often). On commercial breaks it goes into a loading spiral of death that it can’t break out of. When this happens I usually have to disconnect from my TV and reconnect or close the app and re-open it to knock its out of it’s loading funk. If I didn’t know better I’d think it had something to do with a slow internet connection, but I’m able to live stream lots of other things on different apps without a problem. Hopeful these issues can be worked out with further updates to the app. 🤞

Good concept, poor execution.. I've been using this app for nearly 2 years now. It's decent, but the streams are never great. Constant freezing and buffering are over of the problems. Another is constant jumping of content. When casting it had an issue where the stream with jump forward and backwards about 10 seconds randomly on its own. Often times I'll miss big plays or outs because it'll skip forward. The other main issue is audio video sync. Over there course of a game of do not reset my steam, the audio will slowly start to lag behind, and by the end of the game the audio will be roughly 4-5 seconds behind, sometimes more. All in all I really like the attempt, anf the video quality is generally acceptable, but there's just too many issues that apps like watch espn and such don't have.

🔥🔥 LETS GO MAVS🔥🔥. I absolutely love this app!!! So far it has been extremely easy for me to access everything that I have been looking for. From my teams to live games, it has just been fantastic! During the mavs game I was watching (vs the Lakers), occasionally my screen would freeze for a second and would blur for a little bit, but I understand sometimes the internet connection can be the reason for that, so I don’t hold the app accountable for that (besides it’s a lot more complicated to handle/fix than most people understand. Thanks Fox Sports Go!!!

Sensible UI Hindered By Poor Streaming Quality. I’d start with the most critical topic, and that’s the issue with quality. FSGo is consistently hindered by poor streaming quality that disrupts the program with freezing, severe pixelation, delayed broadcast or audio distortion. Restarting the app rarely helps and buffering is lacking to provide live feed coverage. This has been happening for years. It is not a behavior of how we are watching the content. ESPN, NHL Live, and CBS Sports all provide content with little to no issues. So the quality of the high speed internet connection is not a bottleneck. Confirmed on multiple app sources and different viewing locations. After several updates, Fox Sports Go app does provides a clean layout that makes it easy to find your content. They have a fantastic PiP feature if you’re viewing multiple in-market games at once. The Closed Captions are a welcomed feature as well that other apps and services should try to provide for all viewers. I implore you Fox Sports to please invest in your growing streaming customer base and focus on quality of service!

Absolute Trash. This has got to be the single worst app in the App Store. I have several different tv provider accounts with Cox, due to different property locations. Why when the app requests I select my tv provider (Cox) will it not let me actually input the tv provider account information that I’d like to use. It auto selects one, somehow, without giving me the option to select the account I wish to use. Not all of my tv provider accounts have access to Bally Sports, and it always selects the one that doesn’t, making it impossible to watch the sports that I want to watch. Absolute trash. Again, absolute trash. The single worst app in the App Store. Get your app fixed. Then delete it. Then build something worth being on my phone.

Stalls too often.... Still getting the app pausing and spinning and never takes off again on live broadcasts, so not actually buffering but stalling. I have to exit the current feed and go back into it to get it moving again. Sometimes it will happen multiple times in a hockey period, other times just once or twice. Will go to spinning when watching a replay as well, where a fast forward will get it going again, but often stalls out in playback again. Very frustrating. Note it is not my internet, as speed tests while the app is in use are showing a bunch of headroom in bandwidth and other streaming apps will work flawlessly.

The best streaming sports app. Technically head and shoulders above the rest - high quality smooth streaming even without the highest bandwidth and doesn’t become sluggish over time, can be interrupted without crashing or other performance issues, can be viewed from the beginning or live, doesn’t force you to watch the same ad just because you were forced to restart the app ... what more can you want ? If only all video streaming apps were this good! Have used TBS, NFL, ESPN, CBS for various sports, all lackluster in one way or another.

Ok about 65% of the time. I appreciate being able to watch my hometown team through the app but the live stream is iffy most of the time. And if you try to watch a “replay” at some point in almost every game the app will just go back to the very beginning of the broadcast. I have no idea why it does this but since you can jump through videos you’re only option is to hold the fast forward button for 5 minutes to try and get back to where you were. Most of the time though, once it jumps back to the beginning of the broadcast it’s just gonna keep doing it over and over no matter where you fast forward to. I usually end up giving up after spending 15 minutes fast forwarding to where I was 3 times over.

Needs improvement. I try using this app with my Firestick in a room I don’t have cable. The sound on the commercials are a lot louder than the game. I have to keep the volume on 30 in order to hear the announcers and I normally have it on 11. There is no way to start the game from the beginning, your only choice is to watch it live or wait for the replay. It sometimes just stops working for some reason. 1. Please make it so if you miss a inning or two you can start from there and not have to miss everything. 2. Fix the volume between commercials and regular broadcast sounds. I hate blaring commercials. 3. Stop the app from freezing up and having to start the app up again to get it to run. Fix this and you will have a great app.

Good!-would like couple of changes. I really like the app but would like to see a couple of improvements. First I realize it’s a video app but when I am busy with work or just on the move listening through headphones if I put my IPhone to sleep so I can place the phone in my pocket or just to save battery life & still listen to audio the app pauses or closes the game I am listening to. Also as some others have pointed out the white box on the screen with cable operators name is twice the size it needs to be. Reduce the box in half length wise & and the cable companies name would still fit without reducing size of the letters.

Trash. This app is ABSOLUTELY terrible. It constantly crashes during games and the audio is always in and out. Oh and you have to remember to start trying to get the app to open about 20-30 minutes before the game actually starts since you will probably have to log in and out multiple times but don’t worry you will always get to watch an ad before it tells you you are not logged in or you have no internet connection when all your other devices are working just fine, or that there is an error playing the stream or it just crashes. I’m really really thankful that I get to pay for the privilege of using this app. Basically if you have any other options of watching your favorite teams play, even if it’s more expensive it will be worth it if you can avoid using this app.

Downgrade from previous Fox Sports App. The previous Fox Sports wasn’t perfect, but at least I could watch a game from start to finish without issues. Currently I’m having to constantly back in and out of my program bc the screen blacks out every few minutes. There are several moments of complete silence and a “Bally’s” screen & I have no idea what’s going on. If I’m watching a pregame show, the stream won’t automatically connect/continue to the live game. The stream will just stop, no warning. If I cast to my smart TV, the volume is unstable. One minute it’ll be normal, the next minute it’s blasting at deafening volumes (this happens during commercials and actual gameplay). It’s all very weird and extremely annoying. Please fix this. Quickly.

5 stars for iPhone version but not for firetv version. The iPhone version is absolutely excellent. No complaints. And while it may not be relevant I would like to take this opportunity to share how frustrating the firetv version is do to the fact you can’t fast forward but 10 seconds at a time, but usually it’s so laggy that 10 second jump takes about 12 seconds.... Get greedy and push fast forward to many times trying to skip ahead? You’ll pay for your greed when the app crashes and you end up back at the home screen and you get to start the game back at the beginning.

College Football. Update: either they fixed the prior issue with an “all team” dropdown on college football, or else I found it finally (at the very bottom). Regardless, I found it and it’s working great. I’m finding this to be the best sports APP of all. So much so that I have eliminated the ESPN APP from my iPhone. I'm new to your App. I'm wondering why there isn't a drop down menu that lets you select ALL teams when looking at scores, rather than Top 25 and Conference. For example, I want to see who's playing tonight. If they aren't Too 25, then I have to search every conference. Please fix this ASAP. The app is working well for MLB and I'm enjoying the way your alerts work.

Always spoils the game. This app works great if you watch the game live. However, when you want it to start from the beginning it always goes to live first for a few seconds. I have gotten use to this. I turn my volume all the way down and wait for about 10 seconds before looking at the screen. However, sometimes it decides to just skip right back to live and spoil whatever is being watched. Also, be weary about pausing the game because you are not likely going to pick up where you left up. Please fix these glitches. Why wouldn’t everything immediately load at the beginning of the game and and then if the viewer chose to watch the game live to skip forward? This just does not make sense and continually ruins games after games.

Piece of junk. This app is horrible. It’s particularly embarrassing because the app has problems that other streaming apps had 5 years ago. They are new and totally unprepared for streaming. Let’s start with a horrible Chromecast experience. It fails all the time. You have to watch the same two ads when the app starts. You know the game is going, but you have to watch their ads. When there is an ad break with the game, you can’t just watch those ads you have to watch the same two ads with every ad break. It’s dumb. I’ve heard them talk about some fee of something like $30 a month for this service. You guys have an absolutely freaking huge way to go if you think people will put up with that and the performance of this app.

Garbage. This app is the worst. I would call it a dumpster fire, but that would be a compliment because you could actually watch a dumpster fire. 9 our of 10 times you turn it on, it doesn’t work. I wondered if they were still in business since it never works when you turn it on, it just sits there and spins. They talk about being a top sports network, but maybe they should just work on making sure there app works so people could watch it, that would be a good start. Fox Sports North used to be a good network to watch local Minnesota sports on, but ever since it switched to Ballys Sports, it is awful and super frustrating to try and use. Please bring back Fox Sports North, at least that network worked.

They remove negative ads bc if they didnt it would be 1 Star avg.. First I’ve written about 10 reviews on this app bc they keep being removed. I wonder why..hmmm. Here’s the review: Everything shown under the live section in the app opens a pop up saying you gotta use their other app. Everything under live section on their other app opens a pop up saying you have to watch that stuff on this app. In other words they make you download two apps and still don’t stream their content for you. I’m not an idiot this isn’t user error it’s been this way since they came out with the whole two apps for the same purpose bs. And IF you are able to stream something expect it to forget what it was doing during a commercial and either loop ads for twenty minutes or change the streamed channel on you.

Spoiler Alerts. This is the worst digital product in the world. When it does work, all of the common sense features that should be there, aren’t. I have to, delete all app data & re-log into my cable provider EVERY time I go to watch a game. I also often watch the games halfway into the game or after it is over. The first thing I see when I log in is the final scores of all the games. Can you make a separate tab for scores?? Also, everytime I start watching (from beginning) in the middle of a broadcast, as soon as the live broadcast ends, the one I’m watching does too. Then I have to go to replays and find the spot I left off. This never happened on the Foxsports app. And to top things off, the app rarely works on my smart TV. I select the broadcast, then it just loads forever. Has happened at least 5 times, leaving me to watch from Laptop.

New App Needs Work. Now that Bally Sports has totally redesigned the app, there are significant issues. This is a review of the tvOS app on Apple TV: * Pre-roll commercials (60-seconds) before every stream. Seriously, I am already getting commercials during the game. You cannot make me watch 60 seconds of spots just to check out another game on another one of your channels. * Still no access to Miami Marlins and Tampa Bay Rays, even though they are local to my region and Bally Sports has broadcast rights. This is just as bad as Fox Sports Go app. * No picture-in-picture options, as was available with Fox Sports Go app. * Wants me to log-in to Bally Sports account via website, but no place to authenticate that account with app. It’s only been a couple of days, so maybe there’s time to salvage this mess of an app. But Sinclair has taken the best of Fox Sports Go and eliminated this features. They’ve kept the worst of Fox Sports Go. And they’ve added extra commercials... during play. The other issues may be fixed, but the pre-roll ads are a big concern. It shows that Sinclair really doesn’t understand sports programming, the need to go straight to live action when I simply want to check out what’s happening with the Braves while also watching the Pelicans.

Getting what I pay for. Paying for a Bally sports app should allow me to follow (watch) my local team(s) from anywhere, and I mean anywhere, via an internet connection. Why does my app keep questioning my location when I open it up? If and when I’m traveling, say to FL or the East Coast, I should be able to watch my local teams and not the teams that Bally handles in those areas. I’m paying extra each month for that streaming capability. If I want to watch an out of market team that Bally covers, give me that capability without losing my original team I subscribed to through a drop down box.
