Customer Reviews
don't pay for the in purchase if you are outside the US!!!
Nowhere in the description of the previous versions did they specify that audio streaming and video recaps was for US only. It is was unethical to accept the $8 in app purchase for features they were not going to deliver. Now it is clear where it wasn't before, both in the app (displays a popup message instead of 404 error when trying to play video) and in the description.
So are they going to refund all the money they took from customers outside of the US without giving the promised features in return? Only now did they explicitly say that some feature were only going to be available within the US.
Also it is very annoying that paying customers have to see ads both within the app and in the push notifications it sends. I understand that free app's revenues come from ads but paid apps (especially $8 which is high in app store standards) should not display ads.
Not impressed
Tap on score, all it does is a prompt to pay and upgade. Tap on video, requires pay. Dont bother.
Slow and old
I had seen good reviews on this app and bought it on those positive reviews. However, there are problems. Very slow app, you should know that "live" is relative, there is a delay of up to 8 to 10 minutes. However, the alerts work well. You are even alerted of the outcome of a game before you are done listening to the end of the game. Wow, good planning. There are numerous signal failures. AND the biggest gripe I have is that I loaded this app on my iPhone and then on my iPad and I am unable to use the upgrade version without paying an additional $8. Wow! How can you charge so much for an app that has a life span of 1 month and is full of ads. Amazinnnnnnng!
