Adds and glitches/crashes are too much – ESPN: Live Sports & Scores Review

Don’t get me wrong, I love this app and use it daily, but I’ve also been using this for many many years and can see how it’s changed. The amount of adds are kinda embarrassing to me for a company like this who already makes a ton of money and is owned by Disney. Sure there could be a few adds here and there, but almost for every video clip is absurd. It almost ruins the fun in watching them plus it’s sometimes quicker to close out and reopen the app to watch more. It’s silly. Also, I feel that if you are an ESPN+ subscriber then you shouldn’t have adds at all or a bare minimum. On top of that the app occasionally crashes or doesn’t open properly which can come at anytime. It’s not unusual for apps to do this, but again I have higher expectations for a company such as this. Lastly when watching the video clips, a good portion of the time it won’t allow you to select the video you want on the list. It just doesn’t register your tap, so either you have to watch all the videos and adds to get to the one you want, or close out and reopen the app which I usually do. Unfortunately when you reopen that video list will change and you have to find the video clip again. A tad annoying. Anyway, I use this app daily so these annoyances add up, but I’m so used to getting my sport’s updates from ESPN that any other site just doesn’t feel right. If they can fix some of these issues then this app would be one of the best. But please get rid of adds for paid ESPN+ subscribers!
