The old version of the app was way better (before you switched to Microsoft). I can't watch any games on the app because it keeps asking me to enable location services EVEN THOUGH IT HAS ALREADY BEEN ENABLED. Interface is poor. I can't scroll across the box score because each line scrolls individually and not the whole page. It takes ages to load anything. I'm sure your product metrics tell you that. Do yourself a favour and end your contract with Microsoft. Their UX has always been horrible.

App keeps crashing. Couldnt even get to watch a game... Edit: Whenever i try to click on watch, the app will restart back to the main nba loading screen. Subsequently, went back to the game and clicked watch, and pop up indicating that app crash. Thankfully, it was still within the free trial period, cancelled my subscription before being charged. Happens for live games, didnt bother with the rest.

Ok, I love the theory of the app. Everything on offer is great, a one-stop shop for all things NBA. BUT... In reality,it's a frustrating app.I refer to watching games,it's difficult. When you actually get to the stage of watching the game,it freezes,has glitches n sometimes doesn't work at all. Last season I resorted to paying for an additional platform,Prime, as well as having already said for a full subscription of League Pass. For some reason it was clear on Prime. Same tv, same WiFi. So it's
