User Reviews for Bleacher Report: Sports News

Great if you want to read ads

This app is littered with pop up ads. Every time I click on (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) an article to read I am either interrupted or prompted to pay for a subscribed (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) service. While the app in principle covers many (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) sports and allows you to follow your favorite (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) teams, even setting priorities for your news feed, you’re better off just (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) reading the headlines and checking scores, both of which can (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) be found in an sport-official app such as MLB app and others. App also links a lot of content (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad) to Twitter, and if I wanted to use Twitter I’d just (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad is this annoying yet? Yeah I bet. And so is the app when it does it get the picture?) reactivate my Twitter account and participate that way. At least Twitter has (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad and you thought I was done) an ad blocker. In other words, for complete stories use other apps otherwise risk being (this review is being interrupted by a simulated pop up ad)...

Almost completely unusable

This used to be by far the best app for sports. Now the app is almost completely unusable. The first reason is when I’m reading articles they jump randomly when the ads load in. And this happen about 30 times while I’m trying to read something so I have to find and refind my spot in the article constantly. The second reason the app is becoming unusable is that some video ads will randomly go full screen while I’m reading the article so I have to close the ads the find my spot in the article again. The last reason is their still isn’t dark mode! The entire app is white and I keep my brightness almost completely down but it’s still extremely bright when I’m at the app at night. So just add dark mode. Also if the problem with the articles jumping isn’t fixed soon I’m deleting the app I just can’t deal with that anymore. And if the video ads going full screen doesn’t stop too I’m also deleting the app it’s just way too annoying. Update March 31: I’m done with this app. There are now ads in the twitter feeds. I’m officially deleting this terrible app. Bleacher Report literally only cares about money and no longer cares about the quality of their app so I will no longer support them. I am deleting the app. So great job Bleacher Report you just lost one of your longest term users.

Horrible update

I used to love this app. I recommended it to all my friends. It was comprehensive, concise, intuitive, and most of all; the information I needed and wanted was right at my fingertips. In a recent update, that all changed. They changed the bar across the top of the home page that used to show my team’s current and upcoming games. Now it shows current games and a bunch of completely irrelevant games from sports I didn’t even tell the app I liked! To find my team’s upcoming games, I have to dig around in scores, which is inconvenient and unnecessary. I also used to be able to tap on a game to see where it would be broadcast. Can no longer do that. Again, have to find that in the scores, extra searching, and it’s no longer customized for my local market so I still don’t know where I can find the game. (I’m in Ohio, when the Cavs are playing OKC, it’s no help to tell me they’re on FS OKC, are they on FSO?)My homepage feed no longer seems to be customized to my preferences. Frankly, I’m just waiting to find a replacement app and then I’ll dump this one.

Negative star rating please

To get into the confusing details, I will say my day and night has been full of frustration. I bought an AEW ppv 2 days early might I add through bleacher report app in order to be "ready" ahead of time.To my dismay, even after activating my Xbox one for like the 20th time for Bleacher Report, I cannot access the AEW ppv I had purchased. So I get on the app on my iPhone and go to view purchases and it says no purchases stored. I literally have the screenshot of my Apple ID and receipt for my purchase and whatever is wrong with their system has to be happening to people other than me. Their customer service is legitimately almost Non Reachable. Emails take forever to get responded too. Live chat doesn't even exist because it disconnects you. And when I did get through to customer service on phone he tells me to email them!I said I have 4 times! Second time I told him this he must not understand or has a bad connection. So I start reading the reference number emailed back to me about the issue I sent screenshots of and also my receipt and he can't hear the final numbers and the line cuts off. Are you kidding me?I will never buy anything through this crap company again. STAY AWAY!

Functional, but confusing for PPV

First time buying an AEW ppv on this app, and the stream worked fine on my Apple TV - no issues there, and the stream was high quality. However, the UI could really use some work for finding PPVs and finding your library afterwards. It’s hidden under “My Events” in my profile, when really it should have a dedicated tab for streams/purchases. The ATV app seems a little more simplified in this regard at least, which is where it counts. Also an issue I ran into: I was logged into the app on my phone earlier in the day, before I bought the PPV. Then when I actually bought it, come to find out, I had been logged out at some point, so my purchase wasn’t associated with any BR account. Thought I threw out $50 because I couldn’t get it to play on the native ATV app when I was signed in, but luckily I found the link to “sign in to link my purchase” on the stream on my phone. It just made it kind of hassle to get it to show up on the ATV BR app, and I’m not sure the average person would have been able to figure it out. Might be a good idea to make that link or a restore purchases option more visible/obvious.

good, and still a ways to go

b/r is obviously a must for a sports fan. but there are a few things i wish it had. my main thing is the articles. most of the time the articles b/r includes under your favorite teams are sourced from other publications. that’s not a problem at all, i just really hate clicking to read one and being taken to another website, being subjected to that site’s cookies, ads, etc. kinda annoying. if i’m not mistaken, back in the day b/r would get those same articles but present them to you from within the format of the b/r app. i don’t doubt that the reason they stopped doing this was due to some legalities or deals made with publishers in order to continue using their content, but i’ve definitely not clicked on some articles before when i know the publication’s site that it will lead me to will be a hassle to navigate through. also, on a much less serious note (i’ve been crying about this forever) i wish they adopted a night mode on their app. so many times before bed i open b/r and i just wish there was a darker interface option so i wouldn’t have to have that white background reflecting on my face. i do enjoy that b/r is implementing social media features into their app—that experience has been fun. although b/r has been around for a minute now, i still see a lot potential for this app. i feel like they’ll ultimately get there, just at a bit of snail’s pace.

It’s alright

I’ll start off by saying when I try to read articles not written by Bleacher report the fully loaded page turns white making it literally impossible to read. Kind of annoying and it’s only when it’s non bleacher report articles. iPhone Xs The rest is about Bleacher report itself.Annoyed of the constant click baiting when I just want good sports knowledge. Constant errors in the writing, it doesn’t seem like they have an editor. Sometimes it’s really minor stuff like a misspelled word. Most writing programs have a spell check feature so it’s really bothersome that the writer couldn’t click a few extra buttons to make the article better but I think it’s actually representative of the writing in general. I don’t think much time or care is taken with the assignments. I definitely think they are more interested in getting you to click something rather than making sure whatever they write is worth clicking. I am slowly and slowly finding myself just going to google and searching for writers who I know took time to write rather than go on the app and that’s kinda sad cause this app is really what got me into sports as much as I am. I understand you got to keep the lights on but I just want to be entertained or interested not bored or mad.

Alright but one major flaw

The articles are not top tier, its very much a quantity over quality situaion. This is fine for me since I usually just pass time reading articles or checking scores.The major issue I have is with the video player. It has a bad habit of playing a video from a different feed and it will play at the same time as a video you are viewing. So you get to hear two videos at once. Has been happening for over 6 months. Ive been using BR since 2014 and this is starting to push me to something else. Why cant you just play the audio for the video im looking at, why is it always some random video playing from the twitter feed that I never clicked on playing in the background or simueltaneously. Id give 5 stars if it wasnt for this because it really is great for getting scores and highlights quick. Sadly highlights cant be listened to because of this video player bug

Good app, this would make it better/more convenient.

Great app. I love the articles. I would give a 5 star, if you had a way to see previously read articles or were able to favorite preciously read articles like the “News” app on iPhone. It makes it incredibly more convenient and easier to share articles or refer back to an article when needed. I’ve given up on multiple occasions when trying to find an article I’m referencing when talking to friends or family or when I’m trying to see if someone’s responded to my comment. Locating a previously read article is so difficult, I’ve been unsuccessful with finding some articles even after going to bleacher report after a few minutes, notably if the article is under the “Fire” category. Usually, I have to do a google search of the terms I remember + bleacher report just to pull up a previously read article. This issue should not be an issue in this day and age.

Warrantless shadow bans are fun

My account got banned without warning. The only thing that would even lead me to know this is that I can no longer comment on anything. When I try to comment, I get an error message that doesn’t say anything about being banned. It even says “try again later” which is obviously a lie if I’m banned. I emailed support and they re-instated my account, but I was still never told how or why I was banned. I never comment anything ban-worthy. I stick to my own team’s community and generally just comment occasionally. The only thing I can think of is if I was in a debate with someone about the team and they just reported me for no reason and I was banned with no oversight from an actual human. Just an algorithm that says “he was reported, ban his account.” Ridiculous. But don’t worry, I won’t be commenting much anymore because for some reason the app attributes your actual name (not your user name) to the comments. B/R is trying to turn into a social media platform instead of just being the sports app that it is...
