2/5Fire Your Tech Manager
Not everyone can join the broadcast on time and there is no way to rewind and start from the beginning. That seems to be a “no-brainer” to have as an option. Also, why does it take HOURS to post replays? They’re never up in time to watch before the next round and the no rewind makes it impossible to get caught up. And don’t get me started on “Where the Heck is Flanagan?” rant! I’m sure Chase is a nice guy but he’s in over his head. Tom is great but he needs to work on his “smile” so he stops looking like a stalker. It’s like he’s got a hanger stuck in his mouth. Again, I really like Tom. He adds a LOT! And finally we Boomers need the App available on ROKU too Sorry for the long rant. Fix these issues and I’ll change my rating to a 5.

2/5Chromecast can’t connect
I am unable to connect to Chromecast or even go full screen on a device. Just a bad product when you’re paying $16 a month. Fix the Chromecast and full screen option as it can be difficult to even see what’s happening in the match without them.

1/5BowlTV app on iPad and Roku
I am not able to access full functionality of the app when using on my iPad. Such as changing channels and accessing the comments. It also closes for no reason. I also have the app on my Roku and have the same issues as on my iPad but worse. Watching the WSOB last night and the app closed after every game and sometimes during the match. I paid for the subscription and it’s very frustrating that I can only watch from a browser. Please update asap!

1/5Screen locks during playback
Was going to submit to developer support but it requires that you fill out a form with an annoyingly unnecessary amount of information or you can’t report a problem with the app. So here is the problem: While watching a video on iPhone, the screen will lock due to inactivity at whatever you have as the Lock Screen time. The solution is to turn the screen lock off completely. This has lead to me pocket dialing my pro shop five times in a row, and clocking in and out of work twenty or thirty times within an hour. I finally turned it back on, and now I have to tap my screen repeatedly or the video is interrupted. If that wasn’t bad enough, sometimes it won’t keep your spot in the video and you have to find out where in the 5 hr stream you were watching before the screen locked. Not so good. Not so good at all

2/5Atrocious
The app has potential, but in its current state it feels unstable, particularly as a web clip. The migration to the BowlTV web experience is inconsistent, and the app frequently freezes on a white screen or becomes unresponsive. If the goal is to simplify access to BowlTV, the execution isn’t there yet. Hopefully future updates address the reliability issues, because right now it does not deliver a smoother viewing experience.
