User Reviews for NBC Sports

NBC should make improvements to the app and maybe don’t be too greedy

I’m ok with paying a fee for service, just like I do for Netflix or HBO GO, but personally I feel NBC is going a little far to charge a fee per sport/interest. Just have the fee for all-access to content like other services, instead of being locked out of all content but still being able to visually see it all. I don’t think anyone at NBC actually uses the App because long, long ago they would have desired to place the option to easily rewind/fast forward either in 15-30 second increments, or/and in using the app on the phone or through the T.V. allow the viewer to see content while in NBC’s version of “scrolling” through content to find the spot you are looking for. Old School VHS players rewind easier. The viewer is forced to sign in over and over again so the least NBC could do is actually remember where the user is in their personal content in one channel when switching from different devices. Netflix will remember where you currently are in their content with a multitude of shows, NBC can make the app remember where I am with my siphoned/filtered down content to one game on two personal devices. I appreciate that NBC has allowed me to watch Rugby in America, and I want to continue this relationship but possibly from your end (at NBC) continue to make the product work better for your users.

Horrible for sports

I’ve used this app over the past 4 years and am highly disappointed how buggy it is. The app will close out on you forcing you to restart the app to watch the 30 second Honda ad over and over again. I’m always unable to watch a full segment of the game because I’m either being interrupted by the closing out of the app or while watching the game it gets stuck in this 10 second loop. Even when you hit the live button it will refresh then go back to another 10 second loop of sports action forcing me to close out of the app; once again making me miss the action of the game because I’m forced to watch another 30 second ad. By the time it starts working again they’ve gone to commercials. Then you better hope the app doesn’t get buggy on that part because you’ll be stuck in this constant loop of watching the game 3 minutes at a time, closing out of the app, watch the same 30 second Honda ad over again, being stuck in the 10 second game action loop. The cycle never ends and it is frustrating especially when you want to watch your favorite sports team play. The app is absolute garbage!

NBC Sports app review

There are periods where you work and then an app update comes along and throws it all down the toilet again. As a customer all I want is a reliable way to watch the premier league and that is definitely not the case with your app. It's incredibly annoying to wake up early before the game only to realize the app is not working and you miss a significant chunk of the beginning. Then there's also the issue with the advertisements popping up randomly in the middle of the game or the app crashing and having to completely reload including the advertisements before I'm able to watch again. Been using the app for years and I don't understand how you keep messing it up. A more understandable issue is the delay from live TV. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten texts from friends about immediate results and goals prior to me seeing them. Like I said this one is understandable since its a stream. Test it before releasing please to ensure proper functionality. And then there's the issue of the gold membership locking out certain games for an extra monthly fee. I might have purchased it if I had any confidence in the app. At the time I'm writing this review, the average is 2.1 stars. Take the hint NBC Sports. Before exploiting fans, at least have a functional app. I'm currently streaming the game I want to watch using an illigitamate stream instead of yours. Hey at least no advertisements. 1 star!

Infuriating!

Like so many other reviewers, I too am a cable cutter, and someone who has watched the Olympics ever since I was also that little 4 year old performing camel spins on the ice rink her dad built on the back patio every winter with dreams of Peggy Fleming, the 7 year old blazing down the mountains dreaming of Jean Claude Killi, the high school student cheering on Mark Spitz because one of his swim teammates attended my own school, and so on. The Olympics belongs to EVERYONE, not just cable subscribers! This app claims to give you full access...but does NOT tell you it's for a supposed 30 minute free trial per day, that's broadcasting 12 minutes of commercials. NBC bought the rights years ago - and standard broadcasts deliver content with the endless commercials to pay for the licensing. I'd put up with the commercials gladly, if I got to watch an entire curling match start to finish, a whole hockey game, a complete qualifying series for luge and skeleton and bobsled, the entire race for all the alpine skiers from gold medal to last place finishers - which is EXACTLY what those cable subscribers get. The enhanced coverage is very well done - but the teaser time limited amount is INFURIATING!!! My very cheapskate self would consent to paying for the app, if it actually allowed me to watch even the standard coverage,nor the full live streams and replays. I plan to delete this thing as soon as the Olympics are over...infuriating!

Forced experience

Forced to watch commercials, forced to scroll past things I don’t want, forced to scroll one day at a time (it takes me about 20 taps to get to the content I paid for), forced to remember where I stopped watching a replay (and then forced to watch a commercial again before I can skip to where I left off), and forced to restart/re-enter credentials/re-activate my device/select all the pictures with traffic lights in them/check my email for an activation link...my dinner got cold guys, I don’t have the time, and I’m questioning if it’s worth paying for. Once I get in, it’s good; but I have to do 100% of the work - you could have basically given me a long sorted list of text links and it would be about the same mental effort. If any of your UI/UX / customer research / app design / product managers / MBA’s have LinkedIn profiles, I would suggest seriously considering whether you should list the NBC Sports app as part of your work history. If your resume ever came across my desk and you listed this app, I will have a lot of questions for you as to why you think any of this is focused on your user. And don’t get me started about how I have to pay for 3 different kinds of TV if I want to make sure I can watch all of the sport you offer. I mean, I just don’t need sports this bad.

Could be so much better

It’s a shame that a major broadcast company that has been such a big part of American sports and entertainment can’t figure out how to innovate at a high level in the new world of digital viewing... I’ve stopped keeping track of the frustrating things about this app and just tried to deal with it in order to watch Premier League matches... the most recent frustration is that purchasing the NBC Sports Gold package for premier league only gets you the matches that are designated “gold”... in any other world it would give access to the “gold matches” in addition to the regular NBCSports app matches... I was planning on being able to watch all the premier league matches without cable... but because of the way it’s set up, I had to have cable to watch the matches on the regular NBCSports app... not very golden... also, if coverage of a match hasn’t started or has finished, then don’t have it in the selection line up... or at least list the start time and then pull it out of “Live & Upcoming” as soon as the coverage ends... just do better... start with listening to the viewers...

Greed ruining a great sport

NBC is a joke. Their coverage of the Premier League is shameful. Lets not forget sports are for fan enjoyment and for the regular working class person to enjoy , not to be exploited and squeezed for every cent possible. They are very much “american-izing” this game by making it persistently more and more costly. Pay a premium to watch 4 games blocked out of your favorite team. Then the website doesnt even consistently work so you miss parts of the game and in some instances, the end and crucial part of the game. Pay the extra premium and you cant even watch the games until on the west coast , 6 pm , when it airs from 4 am to 12 pm that day. Their excuse for this rate is all the extra garbage content like men in blazers and the side show called the fan fest. I feel sorry for the 2 robbies being caught up in the ridiculous side show antics. I dont feel sorry for kyle because he has no soul clearly. Rebecca, sigh. 65$ to watch games late and try to avoid spoilers all day, and to simply see 4 games of your team the block for more money, and to add insult to injury , the content freezes and cuts off at the designated end of game time regardless of how much of the game is left. Shameful quality and conduct ruining this sport in the US.

It’s not you, it’s me

I have been happily subscribing to NBC Sports Gold for the Pro Motocross races for a few years now, with no complaints. So happy with it that I bought an AppleTV (4Gen) so that I could download the app, that wasn’t available through the Samsung Smart TV App Store, so that I could watch the SuperCross and Pro Motocross (subscription) on my tv rather that connecting my laptop to the tv to stream. Well, three races into having this AppleTV and everything works better than I could have expected except for NBC Gold. Oh wait, is it because you killed the Gold app and waited two weeks to send an email outlining the change? Maybe I missed the first one? Switch to NBC Sports app and login to my Gold profile, still doesn’t work. Maybe it’s me? Contact support, “Have you tried restarting the Apple TV or deleting and reinstalling the app?” How about yes, that’s why I’m now reaching out to you because the layman troubleshooting didn’t work, I need real support. “Well, all is fine here, why don’t you just return your AppleTV and get a Fire Stick. They seem to work much better.” Really? Does anyone give a **** about customer service? Are there still CSI scores? Does management know how poorly the product is being offered and supported?

The worst

Every time this app updates I get some hope. But I’m rarely home so I depend on it to watch Stanley cup playoffs and I can always count on the app to freeze multiple times during the game, which forces me to force quit and restart the app, which is when the app then forces me to watch an ad as if I hadn’t missed enough of the game. I’m getting 250mbps downloads and yet somehow I’m minutes behind in my games while streaming. It will also randomly skip a good 30 seconds backwards in a game leaving me that much more behind. The user interface is awful on Apple TV and makes it difficult to select what I want to watch. When selecting a game on my Apple TV they will first play an advertisement which promptly freezes. If I’m lucky, I can hit the play button and finish the ad, most of the time I’m not lucky. If there were any other way to watch the Stanley cup playoffs I would gladly delete this app and never download it again. Oh, and if that’s not bad enough, nearly once a week I’m told that I’m not paying for the content I’m attempting to stream and then I’m forced to log out and then back into the app to get it to work.Thanks for nothing NBC.P.S. All of the NHL announcers for NBC are horrid. Yes. All of them. #FirePierre

Please Fix the Streaming Issues!!!

I have been a Supercross/Motocross fan for a very long time. I wasn’t thrilled about having to pay $75 for NBC Gold in order to see qualifying and all the races live. However, I talked myself through it and was ready to buy. I am very happy I did not! I decided to stream through the NBC Sports app for the first 2 rounds of the 2019 Supercross season. This app has a great layout and easy to navigate. So many good things to say about...oh wait...it doesn’t stream without continually shutting down due to app errors?!?! Isn’t that the primary function?!?! I tried on 3 different streaming devices and verified internet connections to rule out the “user error” tag. Then I read the reviews on NBC Sports and NBC Gold apps. Streaming, streaming, streaming!!! I feel for all the people who paid $75 and are dealing with streaming issues. I hope that NBC will stand behind their products and refund their $$ until they fix their apps. I have steamed Supercross the last 2 years through Fox Sports app and never had issues. This could be such a great app. I really do like the app layout. But if it doesn’t seamlessly do the job it was designed to do, it’s just a fancy background app. If you want my $75 NBC.. fix your app streaming issues!!
