Pac-12 Now Reviews

by Sssssaaaaaasssssd

I don't know how to email this to the PAC 12 but I hope you read this. The announcers for the Arizona State Oregon game were so biased toward Arizona State. Play after play they would go on and on about what Arizona State was doing. It reminded me of ESPN and Ohio St., Not to mention, you may need some new refs because those refs were terrible. Never let the boys play, called way too many flags, and on that 4th down play with like 2 minutes left. THAT SPOT WAS A YARD OFF. They ruined the game for Oregon. Horrible display by the conference and this is coming from some one from the big ten.

The PAC 12 Network is Over promised, under delivered. Reminds me of a bunch of politicians making promises to those below them (Athletic departments and general public) and delivering a sub par product... but paying obscene comp packages to those “leaders” at the top. The PAC 12 Network is an embarrassment to the Conference of Champions, just as is the case with the current leadership. The PAC 12 Network and Larry Scott have run the Conference into the ground.
PS... when Pac12Now is in a commercial break there’s a typo. It says “set push notifications” where I believe you are trying to say “push set notifications”?

If only I could give Pac12Now a half a star, I logged into Pac12Now got it signed in went to watch what I was waiting to watch all day and then I go to watch it and cast it on the TV for me and my mom to watch and it stops working try deleting Pac12Now and trying again doesn’t work says there’s some error when there’s not completely disappointed and frustrated with Pac12Now if you want to watch for sports team definitely wouldn’t suggest using Pac12Now because it is terrible and completely annoying and know what I’ve been waiting to watch all day I can’t even watch I hope they see this so they can fix there app to make it functional for everyone to use.

The application freezes constantly. I have my cable information already saved in my phone and in Pac12Now and it says it fails to confirm my information and suggests restarting Pac12Now . I press the song in button and nothing happens. I press the key in the top right and nothing happens. I go to settings and select the button that says “tv provider” and nothing happens. Pac12Now is severely broken. We pay ridiculously high cable prices to these thief’s and they can’t even use that money to making a working app. They should be ashamed of themselves. Everyone using Pac12Now deserves a refund for their cable subscription. They are not providing the service they promised and the service we pay for.

Negative 1 million stars. Despite all marketing collateral to the contrary, Pac12Now will not consistently mirror to any tv or other device through Bluetooth, airplay for Apple TV, Google, etc. Tried them all. Read all the online tips and finally managed to mirror to the TV for a few minutes at a time using AirPlay, but had to hard restart my iOS device over a dozen times because Pac12Now freezes. Just wanted to watch the ASU game with my wife but had to give up. The developers at PAC-12 now should be ashamed of themselves. Avoid this steaming pile of app.

You guys already have a tough time competing with other conferences in the major sports, now customers who want to watch have no other option but to subscribe to cable or a live streaming service. 7 years and no deal with Directv/AT&T and many other providers. Even the ACC network which is another major Basketball conference has there own channel thanks to Disney/ESPN and seems to be doing much better already. With all these options to stream content from ESPN+ to CBS All-Access it doesn’t make sense why a non tv subscriber can’t just subscribe to PAC-12 directly. Honestly it’s time to follow suit of B10 SEC & ACC and make a joint-deal with either FOX or ESPN

Update: the problems went away for a bit, but was having all kinds of problems with it tonight, not just on airplay, but also just watching on my iPad Air 2. Choppy playback. Jumping backwards or forwards. Missing key parts of the game, at the end of a good game too.

Pac12Now is constantly stopping, or jumping briefly ahead, or crashing altogether while trying to AirPlay from an iPad Air 2 or iPhone 6s to an Apple TV. At this point, you should either just make an Apple TV app, or get this issue resolved. I do not have this issue with other apps that I do the same thing with.

This is the First Apple app review I’ve ever written- for years I’ve watched Scott make false promises of a future state where fans of the conference around the country can watch their alma maters’ play football and basketball. As a direct tv subscriber, the Pac-12 has failed its teams and fan base by not figuring out a way to broadcast content while working on executing the longer term strategy. Tonight I thought I could stream my favorite team’s game but after a few minutes it cut my off. Pathetic strategy - Scott should’ve been fired years ago

I have a Vizio SmartCast TV (my main TV), with a built in Chromecast and Pac12Now refuses to see it (I've never run into this issue when using other apps). I have another TV with a Chromecast dongle that works flawlessly. I can also stream to my SmartCast TV via the PAC 12 website, so I know my TV isn't the problem. When this gets fixed, I'll be happy to give a more favorable review. Until then, I'm limited on what I can watch on without having to reconfigure my setup, which I'm not gonna do for a single app.

The current version is buggy as hell. Live streams constantly drop in quality (appearing as if I’m going over a cell network even when on wi-fi), pause and the jump forward in time (sometimes I’ve even had them jump back a few secs, only to then jump forward to catch up to real time), and worse of all the streams constantly freeze entirely - the only fix is to force quit Pac12Now and re-open (which only fixes this issues for a few min, before the stream starts having issues again).

I wish the pac-12 network would spend half as much money on their platforms as they do on office rent. I can’t sign in through their google app, it just keeps acting like it’s loading. There is no fire stick application to use. And then when I try to cast the UW football game from my phone, it refuses to load, yet somehow I can cast an Arizona volleyball game that is on at the same time. Please figure your stuff out, I want to be able to enjoy this conference’s sports teams, but you make it nearly impossible.

Highly annoying that I lose connection when watching a game. When I go back to watch it I get an error message saying that “I’m not authorized to view this content”. To fix this it says to logout of tv provider and sign back in but yet the message still pops up. The only way to not get this message is to uninstall and reinstall Pac12Now completely and only then can I watch the game for like 30 minutes before the error message pops up again

I’m unable to stream replays with Pac12Now , it says “sorry unable to stream, streaming error”. I’ve also looked online and I’ve taken the steps instructed and still it saying it has a streaming error, I’ve even updated Pac12Now . Why is it so difficult with the PAC 12 app when you are supposed to be a leading brand and also located pretty much in Silicon Valley and yet me and my friends continue to get this problem? Please help ASAP or else I’ll make a complaint.

Device: iPad
App version: 2.33
Operating System: 12.1.1

Being an old timer Water Polo player I think the pac 12 could show some of the games instead of repeat games, example football games that are being shown 3,4 or 5 times, or watching games from last year, we have two pac 12 channels and too many times both are showing the same repeat sporting events at the same time. I am not saying show all games but it would be nice to see 3 or 4 each week.

It has faults but now that bball season is here, I think Pac12Now does a great job presenting a lot of content In a consumable format. I like the notifications, you can really focus on the reams you are interested in.

Poor announcers? Who cares, turn on the radio if it really bothers you.

Later: just as happy now with baseball season. Where else can I see OSU?

by Remanmek

Great app for following Pac-12 sporting events. Only issue I have is the most recent version of Pac12Now displays a message in the middle of the screen advising that I’m “viewing Pac12Now using airplay” when mirrored to a television. It is not a large type message and anywhere but the middle of the screen would be tolerable. Hopefully this is eliminated in a future update.

Every since I left Oregon thirty five years ago I always represented my Home teams for life Beavers or Ducks and let’s not forget Trial Blazers!.....Proud to have grown up in North Portland back in the day.......Understand things have changed a lot that according to the News!....I guess the groundhogs finally came out of the ground......SMH

The PAC 12 owes it to it’s students and fans to be managed by a Commissioner that understands the prudent use of funding. A person who will negotiate business contacts that are fair and equable across the sports community. Many of us felt that the former management used the position for his own personal benefits. We look forward to leadership that will set a example of honesty and openness for our nation’s future leadership. High standards, and moral commitment are needed more than ever in today’s society.

An avid sports fan living on the East Coast and with children going to USC I would love to see PAC-12 sports on a cable provider here. I think it is imperative to do this so the rest of the country can be exposed to PAC-12 excellence. Just look at the example the SEC Network has established.

by PrVegeta

Pac12Now is perfect because there are so many Softball games to watch. Sometimes there are up to 4-Games playing Live. And if I miss any of the games, I can watch the Encore/Replay later the next day! This is the perfect app for any Softball Fans looking to watch great games on the weekends! Keep up the good work!

The past few weeks, streaming live sports on the iOS app has been consistently unstable. The selected stream will start, have limited buffering and then reliably crash after a minute or two, leaving the playback on a black screen with a buffering circle. This has been occurring on every stream attempt for at least 2 weeks, and is occurring on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV platforms.

This problem seems to be occurring for other users too.

They must have fixed any bugs that everyone is talking about. It worked perfectly for me with no issues. If you rate this one star, thinking you can watch it without a cable provider, then you have a one star brain.
