ESPN Player Reviews

by Soshoallyunfit

While they can take my money, I can't finish a game. The player will stop in the middle of a game and will push the schedule forward. Not worth the money until this is fixed.

I was excited to find ESPNPlayer and download in Singapore and it worked. I just arrived in the Philippines and got the message not available in my area

Need to change the messaging and tag line

According to ESPNPlayer , it is not available in the United States. There does not appear to be a functional ESPN app for the US as the other app is not in US either.

Subscribed to watch golf while out of the country. Didn’t work as advertised. Never did get to watch any golf... then tried to cancel subscription. Extremely poor cancellation procedure. Tried to cancel in August, still getting billed in November. Had to resort to complaining to PayPal. Junk! Would have given zero stars, but have to have at least one to review.

I couldn’t even watch anything it said doesn’t work where you live. I live in Iowa so I wonder how much more states can’t do it either

SO frustrating. I’m an ESPN+ subscriber, I live in Brooklyn, NY and iPhone app says it doesn’t work in this region, yet I have no issues watching ESPN+ via my Roku on TV. Please fix this ASAP, have the reason I have this subscription is to watch games on-the-go. Such a fundamental issue to fix.

Downloaded ESPNPlayer like 2 years ago and said ESPNPlayer was unavailable. So I obviously deleted a useless app. Tried again 2 years later and still the same thing! Get it together ESPN

“Watch anywhere” is not true at all. I have the subscription, but after downloading it says “application not available in your area.”

- Video crashes repeatedly when streamed to Apple TV which you have to do as there’s no Apple TV app

- The schedule of live events is rarely ever correctly synced, the replay library leaves much to be desired

- College sports being shown on ESPN2 isn’t always available

- Horrible live play controls (don’t try to rewind or hold your place if you have to go do something)

Not sure why this isn’t comparable to ESPN+

Only a spattering of games. Your team, especially if in the big ten, will only be on a couple times a year. How hard is it to cut a deal and show all the games? Very frustrating.

First of all, ESPNPlayer needs an Apple TV version. Being able to watch on your phone / computer when needed is great but airplay to an Apple TV just doesn’t translate well when there are so many games going on during college football season.

Second, the experience is so flaky, you’d think ESPNPlayer was on version 1. If you are watching a game on demand, sometimes it just suddenly stops. You can relaunch the game but it won’t resume from where you were last; instead it goes to the beginning.

Espn already has the technology to make ESPNPlayer better but they refuse to. It’s infuriating.

Says unavailable in your area even though it was fine

you ever accidentally leave your VPN on. I get that you don’t want people in the states using it, but when I accidentally login with my VPN on it completely breaks ESPNPlayer and requires me to delete and reinstall.

Good with high quality videos past and present with a good selection of games. My main suggestion is to improve the search capabilities on the iOS version (the web site version search is easier). I’d like to be able to search for a team that is on now and not past history. They seemed to have fixed another problem where the game video stream would not always restart after a commercial break.

Overall thanks ESPN for this service.

Have used it since launched. Have high speed internet. Live event glitch..

Whenever the event goes to a timeout or commercial break,the screen prompt says the event is on commercial break but does not return to the event unless you reload. A big glitch

If most of my choices are to see SEC, then I’ll probably cancel

I’m already impressed!

ESPNPlayer is a great way for me to stay connected to sports back home. I especially enjoy using ESPNPlayer to watch college football.

by Hrsrogers

Great app. Well worth the money. I view live and delayed games. I’ve never missed UK-Kentucky play basketball or football. For Americans living abroad who like college sports....look no further.

I hoped to watch college sports on ESPNPlayer. However the resolution is horrible—I can watch streams on pirate sources much clearer. I’ve reached out to customer service several times with no response. In this case, bootleg is better

by Boo Hopper

This doesn’t show the NBA, the only reason why I want to get ESPNPlayer. I want my money back, I just want to watch the NBA games.

by Nonooo988643

I am an Oklahoma Sooner fan. They had like one game the whole season available for viewing. Such a waste of money...

by Broken Land Style

Tells me I can’t watch or use in my area (wherever I am) on my phone. Yet on my laptop no prob. This is over a year now and no fix. Poor.

by Dyon

The description for ESPNPlayer says this player is for Asia but when I downloaded ESPNPlayer it says it’s not supporting my region (Hong Kong). Please fix!! I need to watch college football!!

by Peach Head

ESPN 5 and ESPN Films were added . ESPN 5 doesn’t work. Only content available in ESPNPlayer is ESPN Films.
