SuperSport Reviews

by FourwaysShopper

I like the new app design. SuperSport was a bit tired looking and it was time for a reskin.

That said, the new preference system is completely unusable. As a sports nut who used to use SuperSport regularly I’m now faced with a terrible job trying to list a billion preferences just to get SuperSport back to what it was. I spent ages trying to tweak the preferences just to get major sports headlines and I’ve failed. All I get is random irrelevant headlines at the top.

Please start with sensible defaults and allow customization. Starting from zero leaves the user too much to do to just restore existing functionality.

I don’t think these people understand the frustration SuperSport causes. After the launch of the all new version, we have been asked to review it. Extensively so. Still those complaints have not been addressed. Aaarrrrgghhh!!! this app is just good with Live events. Highlights packages and Apps... preposterous.

Was hopeful when I saw an update, but alas... It's better than nothing, but watching live games you can expect it to freeze every 5 minutes, need to exit the channel and load it again.

I’ve given it a few weeks and SuperSport is still terrible, it’s slightly more stable but the results are either wrong or not updated! Totally unusable.

If there was a better app to check up on South African sport I’d use it.
First off steaming is garbage. I don’t even attempt it anymore. I use SuperSport to read news and check scores, but even that is unreliable at best. Under the scheduled games tab I see games from 2 weeks ago?! While under results I see nothing? The Today tab is always blank even though I KNOW there was rugby today.
Sort yourselves out kids. Either some idiotic nepotism is happening here or you really need to reconsider who manages SuperSport.
Like I said. I hate SuperSport, but it’s the only one I can see that gives me the targeted news I want.

I use this app to follow all my favorite sports from the USA. So now in order to customize SuperSport I must have a dumb MultiChoice or DSTV account. Really!!! I have never seen such incompetence in my life. GOOD BYE this app!!!! You are all about the money not about loyalty.

I use am iPhone 6 and it crashes anytime I’m trying to watch premier league highlights. This is very bad, I have contacted the support team by nothing seems to change. Please go back to the previous update, this one is a mess !

The new app is terrible. It was very easy to navigate before, even when I was a newbie. Now one has to sign up and they added so many steps. It’s a messy app. Who ever was in charge of these changes clearly did not do any user testing.

It is pathetic how, so long after so many complaints, DSTV still cant get a basic video streaming app right. Freezes, crashes, pauses, jumps a minute back in time and and and. Seriously lucky that Naspers can use Tencent to stay afloat if SuperSport is anything to judge by.

SuperSport went from one of the best to by far one of the worst apps. Freezees option that you have to wait about 10s beefore you can scroll again, so obsessed with advertising and gambling, cannot configure defaults without logging in especially when you don’t want to sure your personal information, they really have ruined SuperSport. Do yourself a favour and google a sport result, it’s quicker than SuperSport!

This new app update suuuuuuuucks. Takes forever to load. Then the loads wrong information. (Tables, stats, etc.)
Sends notifications (tries, goals, etc.) after the game finished.
Should’ve stuck to the previous one. Works just fine.

by Koptomist

Quite why SuperSport needed to change so drastically is unclear. I know this app are a pretty poor organization in any case, but, I at least was able to see all the sports I like in one place. I live outside SA and I’m not sure why the need to personalize my feed requires you to know and share my info. Just be a sports app like you used to and stop trying to make money off user information and preferences.

The latest version of this app is a real disappointment.
What was the point, now less info is available and SuperSport is slow and more awkward to use and find your way around.
A good example of fixing something that was not broken!

by Hamzahbha

Allow SuperSport to live stream from this app app
Its sooo much easier than switching and waiting for DStv now to open
Secondly when watching highlights it refuses to go into landscape mode.

SuperSport is very slow to load and to update live scores and commentary. It is consistently slow on Saturdays during matches. Notices are very slow.

by Dijoncorreia

Constant crashes and long load times make what could be a really good app - not so. Maybe try ease up on the amount of ads loading to try free up some of SuperSport 's resources.

by FrancGray

SuperSport has everything that you could want... News, reviews, live scores,videos the works. Only problem is that it hardly ever works when you need it. While I can watch full movies on my network connection I cannot refresh or have a reliable video feed from this app Live scores often lag by 5 - 10 mins. Not to mention (null)(null) on schedule even when time & venue were published long time ago... still lots to fix

by CECORULE

All I can ever say is that SuperSport Is the best sport app in Africa but I rate 4 star because of some channels are missing.. it’s not showing the whole this app Channel..
