It's terrible. I'm watching perfectly clear on my TV via Xbox. Wanted to stream the MSU game on my laptop and it freezes every 10 seconds.

They gave control of the app to Jemele Hill

Been downhill since there

This app on the PS4 is complete garbage. Almost unwatchable.

My feed for the LSU/Syracuse game on WatchESPN was shite. Choppy as hell. Switched it to the feed on SlingTV and it's perfect. Something is definitely fishy


Same here. Perfect on sling

They need more on demand options like PTI.

Works great on Roku for me.

It's horrible when I use pc or firestick.

I really wish they didn't do away with multiview.

It's still awful.

I deleted and reinstalled, but it's still not working correctly.

Buffering like crazy.

One.

Every other app every Kodi on 1080p streams almost perfectly always.

Yeah it was awful for the LSU/Troy game. And not just because of how LSU played.

It was laggy, choppy. When they went to commercial for the end of the 3rd they stayed on the commercial break screen for like 10 minutes then started the 4th about 10 minutes after live action.

At least you get some content.

I click the game I want.


Nothing happens.


It still cycles through the main games on but the one I click just doesn't come on. Then after about a minute(if I give it that long) the game I clicked finally comes on...and barely works.

I haven’t had any issues at all this year


Most years prior I would have to close down and reopen the app a couple times a game due to freezing. This year, not once. And I even downgraded my internet speeds since last year.

Not sure if it matters, but I watch on my iPad most of the time.

I guess im in the minority but its been great all year. Ive watched several games a weekend and I was just thinking this weekend how clear the games are now. No buffering at all. It looks great.

I have 1GB internet at my house. Not sure how much that helps

It’s so bad, regardless of what device you use. I finally had enough and got Sling. So much better.

I got the same thing. I switched around to the Clemson game and the Alabama game and they worked fine. I think it was an issue with the feed and not the app since other content was working fine.

I use MLB TV all the time and it works perfectly

and the new update with the 4-Box, crown it.

Didn't realize this was a thing until just now. That's pretty sweet.

That’s interesting. I used to have slingTV and it was the worst for sports. I would use my Sling account to log into the WatchESPN app. Back then my ESPN would screw up too, but SlingTV was unwatchable for me.

Not sure why I’ve been fortunate his year, but my watchESPN app has been pretty much perfect so far.

Im the same.

Watch ESPN is the only sports app that messes up for me. Fox Sports, MLB, Sunday Ticket, etc all work fine.
