Constant Problems – NBA: Official App Review

I use the NBA app in three places. iPhone iPod and AppleTV. iPhone (3 out of 5 stars) iPod (1 out of 5) AppleTV (3 out of 5 stars) On my iPod it won't even open now. I just updated. When I try to open it shows the NBA letters in blue, then says my connection is too slow. It's not. My connection is 200 mbps, and that's not an issue for any of my other devices or any other apps on my iPod. On iPhone I can watch games okay, but NBA TV constantly has problems, it often just closes itself. and with a 4G phone connection games often have problems with clarity and pixelation. On AppleTV games usually work okay (occasional problems). What kills me is NBA TV constantly having problems. It might be a little better since the recent update, but the common denominator on all three devices is trying to watch NBA TV. The other thing you can not do on that device is move backward and forward through a live game. You can only pause. It's possible on the iPhone, why not the Apple TV too? After a game is over, you can go forward and back on the replay game feature. This is the best way to watch a game on the app, after it's over. I've contacted NBA.com about the inability to watch NBA TV multiple times and they've never contacted me back. Also why would you not have the most recent episode of gametime on demand? All that old stuff on demand but you can't watch the most recent episode of gametime on demand like other apps do with their programs? Come on! Don't tell me you don't have the technology, because the game replays are possible on demand. The app is just so much less than it should be. And you're left feeling like you didn't get what you paid for with league pass and NBA TV subscriptions, for the reasons mentioned above. Often can't even watch the product that I've already paid for.
