NBA: Live Games & Scores 4+

The app itself has a clean interface that makes it easy to find any info or news I am searching for, like box scores, standings, and highlights.

NBA TV is far and away the best channel in television and has been for the last years eight years since I have been watching it. All of the analysts and reporters, like Greg Anthony, Grant Hill, Lauren Jbara, Stephanie Ready, Sam Mitchell, and Isiah Thomas, are many more are passionate about the game of basketball. What really sets apart the NBA’s own coverage of their sports from other channels is that they remain clean in language and stick to appropriate topics and healthy discourse.

NBA TV and games on League Pass (which are available with this app) give my family a great alternative to the negativity and filth in so much other media. My sons who now play basketball in school have positive athletes to look up to and learn the game from analysts who know how to be entertaining, and even funny, without degrading themselves or other people. Instead of manufactured controversy, the league is able to keep interesting story lines organically through a continually-evolving sport with the most competitive and dedicated athletes in the world.

I feel good about supporting the NBA directly as a viewer and subscriber and will continue to do so for as long as the league expresses this commitment to being a positive pillar in our society.

Thank you for the 5-star review! We appreciate the support and hope you continue to enjoy our app! Thanks, NBA Support

This is my 12th season with league pass and I have no idea what they did this year but they just made it horribly. Is seriously slow, many errors while playing, after waiting for a long time to play, then you can select which broadcast you want and wait again, it used to be the other way around which made sense, no option to download games and watch offline, so many recaps right now that they can’t even make one right is all filled with time outs and then the actual game is cut out of the recap and even the way they fitted everything in the screen is hard to interact with it. Massively dissapointed, last year it was a descent product I don’t know why you made such a big change and literally mess up everything and I think seriously this is the first time I will ask for a refund of my league pass since is impossible to enjoy the games with this app.

Update:

I’m giving a one star now after the response from the developer which is a total copy paste and shows that they don’t even read what I wrote. I thought this was they way I could get them to answer since they don’t do it with my emails, but after I saw what they wrote it was even more disappointing. With all the money you get from subscriptions I can’t believe you made a worse product than what we already had, it should be the other way around. Please refund me and cancel my subscription, after 12 years, I’m not interested in using your app anymore.

We are really sorry for the trouble and that you are not having a great experience in the app so far. We appreciate you bringing this feedback to our attention, we will pass along it to the product team.

I use this app to access my league pass, which is garbage. You can’t use a VPN, and they are admittedly selling your information to 3rd parties. You can’t ask NBA to stop selling your information—instead they instruct you to contact every single one of their “partners” separately (which is many) and I guess ask them to stop buying your information? And even if you buy league pass, you can’t watch games that are on NBA TV or blacked out because of local broadcasts. So if you actually want to watch all of your teams’ games, you have to pay for cable, pay for NBA TV, and league pass. If they were smart, they would make this whole thing simpler for the people they are asking to pay them.

UPDATE: the “developer response” or lack thereof only reinforces my criticisms. They’re selling your email address to third parties who will spam you. NBA TV blackouts have nothing to do with local broadcasting contracts. One thing you can do to make the app better (aside from selling my information) is make it work with airplay—any time I try to AirPlay, it takes me dozens of tries before it actually works. Other apps are airplaying, but when I try with this app, it acts like it’s doing something and then just goes back to the Home Screen after a few seconds. After 20 minutes or so of repeatedly trying, you might get lucky and get it to work.

We are disappointed that you are not pleased with the service, Eduardo. We'll pass along your feedback to our product team. We appreciate your support. Thanks, NBA Support Team
