1. 5/5Doesn’t the NCAA want viewers?

   Depending on where you live in the country, you may not have access to all of the cable companies that the big cities do. We have fubo which is fine, but it does not have TNT or TBS or TRU TV. Acquiring those channels for live broadcasts should be stupidly simple, but it is not. I do not have a service to which I can add the channels. So once the free trial expires, so does my viewing. The NCAA site and app are fine but the free trial period is annoying and needless. The NCAA can share viewing data with the stations which they can use to sell ads for next year. Also, the site and the app have a conflict with multiple brands of smart TVs. The game plays for half a second and then a notice pops up that says the broadcast is incompatible. Obviously it is compatible or you couldn’t see it for even the half second. Tech is supposed to make our lives easier and more fulfilling. The tech related to this tournament does neither.

2. 5/5Incredibly well-designed app

   Out of all the many places I get my sports content, this might be the best for what it does. It’s very, very easy to stream games live, and if you didn’t catch the game, they do have the condensed version of the game and highlights to watch to keep yourself up to date. There’s also game previews for upcoming games, loads of stats, articles, and videos about a variety of March Madness topics, and just a really streamlined and convenient user experience overall. My one request is for the ability to keep the live stream of the game going after you exit the app, as is possible when I stream with the ESPN or NBA apps. If this had that, it would be perfect. One that I always make sure to download the second week of March for every edition of the tourney.

3. 1/5Ads and bugs

   No one will ever read this but the amount of ads you have to watch is infuriating, specifically whenever you start streaming a game they make you watch an ad to even get to the game whether they’re in a timeout or not and because of the number of bugs there are sometimes it just kicks you off a game and then you click it again and you have to watch another ad to start watching again it’s maddening. Like you pay how ever much to even get a tv provider so you can watch all the games and then you get over 50% of your watch time is ads to begin with and then they force you to watch an ad to even start streaming every time. It would be somewhat bearable if there were less tv timeouts, no ad at the beginning of any time you want to stream and less bugs. It also seems like they require more bandwidth to stream video than other apps, like even with fast internet you get a “connection strength not good enough to play video” message so often it’s so annoying. Please get your act together if you’re a multi billion dollar company that doesn’t even pay its athletes. Just sad

4. 2/5App is very useful but has one HUGE flaw

   I’d like to start this by saying this app is super convenient and useful during the ncaa basketball tournament. I would rate it 5 stars expect for one huge flaw. When a game finishes, the app is designed so that it gives you menu of other games to chose from to watch next. This seems convenient except it does this WHILE THE GAME YOU ARE WATCHING IS NOT FINISHED. So let’s say you’re watching the end of a very close game, there’s 20 seconds on the game clock, and the ball was just passed in. The clock starts ticking and … opp, the app kicks you out of the game and here are some other games you can watch. This is super annoying and takes away from all of the good things this app has to offer because this “feature” happens at the most important point of a game ,and you can’t turn it off or do anytime about it other than try to get back to the game you were watching as quickly as possible. Hopefully this can be changed, but until that happens, 2 star rating from me.

5. 1/5Possibly the worst streaming experience?

   I don’t know how this app has half a million positive ratings. Either they’re fake or these users aren’t using the same app. Every single time I try to watch a game, both the audio and video feeds skip continuously. Throughout the entire game. It’s so disorienting and distracting that I have to mute the TV and watch the game without audio. It’s not my internet, I have a gigabit connection - I have no other issues with other live sports streaming apps. It seems to me like the infrastructure behind this app can’t handle the simultaneous load of processing live video inputs from multiple sources and then streaming it without packet loss. Somehow the ads play just fine though, no skipping there, gotta get that ad revenue! Then there are the other issues mentioned in other reviews. The apps pops you out of a game with 20 seconds left on the clock. How has it not occurred to the developers of the sanctioned March Madness streaming application that the last 20 seconds of a game are often the most important? Absolutely wild.
