Red Bull TV: Watch Live Events Reviews

by Quadelirus

RedBullTV is awful. A much older version (years ago) was good. I could easily navigate to find UCI mountain biking and downhill races, find the most recent race replay, and watch it. Now for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do this. Instead they push their shoes which I will not watch and don’t care about. Utterly impossible to navigate. They need to fire their UX people and make some new hires. I pop it open every once in awhile to see if this time I can figure out how to watch a race, find that I can’t, and kill RedBullTV frustrated.

Love RedBullTV through and through but for an app with everything, it doesn’t have anyway to change quality. Just auto. So I have to rest RedBullTV 3 times to get a video above 144p. Doesn’t matter if you set and wait for an extended buffer for an hour, still 144p. It’s 2020 man. Like make it buffer till it shows me at the minimum 480p. Just frustrated with lack of this feature.

First, the content is great. I especially appreciate the scope and quality commentating on mountain biking. RedBullTV is difficult to navigate though. You have to know the name of an event and search for it. Browsing won’t get you far. Also the Red Bull app is inconsistent across different platforms. I find it impossible to download content on my iPhone. It just hangs at “preparing to download.”

I love the coverage and the access to great video quality for action sports, especially Mountain Biking. What I have issues with is when streaming RedBullTV to any device t seems to lose connection, play on both mobile and the device I’m streaming too. I found that I will 1/3 times need to force close RedBullTV then reopen and reconnect. I will continue to use RedBullTV but it won’t get a higher rating until these issues are fixed.

Love being able to watch UCI mountain biking on RedBullTV. I still haven’t figured how to navigate it though. Can’t figure out how to go back to the previous screen after watching a video. And I can’t understand how the videos are organized. Seems random. I just want to see a page that lists all the UCI stops by date and race but can only find a side scrolling list of various things. Maybe I’m overlooking something?

On 12.9” iPad and only on landscape mode, the video would freeze at one frame until manually refresh then show new frame but not live video.
Unless starting to view on portrait mode and make sure the live video feed is ok, at that point turn the iPad to landscape mode then everything would be fine.
Beside of that, new version of Arlo app has much improvement over the previous version.

I can’t believe I didn’t know RedBullTV was free!! It would be awesome for just continuest POV streaming. I love putting it on my flat screen on mute while entertaining guest. Also love POV on mute at my work desk. Other than that just love RedBullTV. I would pay for this if you had more control more instant access to live Red Bull athletes POV streams. Also my kids absolutely love the dance offs. I have the best video of them dancing to it if you want to use it for a commercial email me.

Search function isn’t great, not-good really. As it’s Red Bull; you’d think you’d see the awesome’ness that’s Red Bull a vast, never-ending library of its media but it’s lacking.

Layout on the iPad (probably any tablet) is frustrating, as I would also assume on a phone. Rethinking the “sidebar” and slider would reap more clicks/repeat traffic. Change is good, let’s embrace it again... 😁

RedBullTV is good and the content is off-the-charts great. They only need to work on organization. The search function doesn’t work too well, and some of the magnificent content (like replays of mountain bike races) can be hard to find.

Climbing documentaries and killer WRC & Dakar coverage, what’s not to love?

Their UI could use some work sometimes, and there’s still not metadata for like full descriptions or dates on a lot of shows, but it’s always pretty easy to find something cool to watch and have your curiosity rewarded. A few times I’ve ended up watching a live downhill mountain bike race or ice climbing competition totally by chance and gotten sucked in to a whole world I never knew much about. And it’s free, man! Unbelievable.

by Frankiepiii

The productions on these shows are awesome. Watching any of these shows just makes you want to travel the world. This is also a great channel to have on in the background while you are doing something else in your house. Highly recommend!

While I enjoy paragliding or mountain biking I could not in a million years do what some of these folks do in these or the many other endeavors. It’s great to have a front row seat to experience what the experience might be like. Red Bull TV does an excellent job of making this possible......

This channel has brought to life so many places that I have now gone and visited… So many events with going to see… We are all mountain bikers and skiers and snowboarders hikers etc.… Can you see places that the Red Bull athletes go to and it gives you something to shoot for… I get to keep up with my World Cup events in winter biathlon and Summer mountain biking and they have the right commentators with Chad and Claudio not to mention everyone else involved. So many adventure sports and great documentaries… They have won me over!

RedBullTV is working better and better. Over the last couple years I have used it and it seems to be working great for live streaming. Not to mention all the great on demand videos. Works great on my fire stick, phone and iPad. The red bull media house is amazing every thing they put out. But I do love RedBullTV

by TheRabbidPotato

RedBullTV has everything I like to watch in one place. I enjoy the free, add-less, high quality streaming that I get with RedBullTV. It is by far one of my favorite apps on my phone and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something fresh.

I love this apps design, streaming, and variety, and I can see myself enjoying it for years to come.

No offense to other sports channels but this is Premiere quality along the entire line up. It’s domestic, it’s international, it’s pretty much the bomb when you want HD sports action. They may be very light for any form of ball sports BUT it also means the athletes are light on ego. I thoroughly enjoy RedBullTV and recommend to anybody who loves water, wheels and fun! I hope anybody who reads this, enjoys RedBullTV as much as I do!!

RedBullTV is pretty much a fully functioning version of Fuel TV without having to pay or put up with annoying commercials and ads.

The content Red Bull TV offers is pretty sick. I watched a documentary on the creation of space disco in the Scandinavian arctic tundra. I got educated on the origins of UK Grime and how Fatboy Slim broke records with break beats. I haven’t begun to scratch the surface of what else is included.

I know it sounds like this is some corporate written shill post but it’s not. They are giving you the thing you wanted as a kid while your mom called you inside after you just landed your first kick flip. You are getting 24/7 action sports and music on demand and the future is here.

Now go back outside and practice your nollie flips ;)

Main screen can get you to a section, but once in the section you are auto loaded a video with some kind of related options, but you can’t navigate back to the main screen to explore other options.

Very frustrating if you are looking for something specific. The previous version worked far better on the IPad.

What Red Bull does for certain sports and events is nothing short of amazing, and mountain biking sport, for example, owes it Red Bull some of its popularity. Producing these sporting events isn’t easy or cheap yet it’s given for free in RedBullTV , which by the way, works very well.
I have no idea how else would I be able to catch up on so much amazing programming. I don’t drink energy drinks but feel like starting some way just to support this awesome venture who’s mission is bigger than just bringing people tasty caffeine.

RedBullTV/site is the best to watch any and everything related to the action and culture lifestyle. I use RedBullTV all the time to watch surfing to rally cross. There is always something on worth watching and it’s pretty much all I watch. Easy to navigate and find what you’re looking for. I highly recommend RedBullTV.

by King.Zee

I love what redbull productions have become and the content itself is 6 out of 5 stars. The thing I have an issue with is that there is very little personalization on RedBullTV . No account I can create to save my watched videos and progress? It was fine when it was mostly just one video/episode but now there are shows with multiple seasons and episodes and it’s very hard to keep track of where I am or last episode I watched.

by Dgherastovschi

Quality content, very educational and in huge variety.
No ads
Trust me all you need is some WiFi:)

*Would be nice to have an option to download the video on home network to watch it later to not use data.

GET THI APP - Red Bull tv and RedBullTV are awesome, this is coming from a 58 year old who still rocks. Great content and quality connections every time. Red Bull rocks with all their programming, I’m partial to the motorcycling, action sports in general, but what is a fantastic is the Human Interest stories like “Mongolian Eagle Hunter”. Can’t say enough, thanks Red Bull.

I never have enough time through work or school in order to go and watch things I’d want to but always miss it but this has given me the things I’ve wanted to watch for so long AND MORE all for free and no sign up BS. Maybe that’s just with my schedule but this is perfect

by Dannyz8040

They've done us all a solid by the content and design of RedBullTV! Really, it's free awesomeness whenever you want it. Can it get any better? Thought it could by having RBGRC on it but I understand the rights NBC has to it. So no complaints here. Have fun on a stormy afternoon watching some rad people do rad things here on RBTV. And when the weather clears up, GO SHRED!

The Redbull TV app brings you a wide-ranfig library of quality video series across different sports and disciplines put together in a nicely designed functional app in line with Netflix or other on-demand video apps. There's something in there to watch for almost everyone.

by MrTommy007

Ok, it's Red Bull's coverage of outrageous sports events I'm most in love with. RedBullTV seems to almost equal what I watch on their TV channel. Unfortunately, my over-the-air web access leaves much to be desired and that's not Red Bull's (or RedBullTV 's) fault. I try not to rely on my iPad for 'important' shows. That's what my TV is for. Overall RedBullTV does a fine job. I LIKE IT!

RedBullTV is awesome in terms of content, and also the ease of use. There aren’t many glitches at all, and the HD quality is almost always on-point. Keep pushing us to push ourselves to achieve our physical and creative potential 👌.
