BBC Sport Reviews

What once was a great app is now useless and frustrating. It freezes and stutters when scrolling up and down that is so annoying it makes one want to delete BBCSport . Loading times also take way longer to the point where using the mobile version the chrome browser is faster. What happened here?

App presents the stories nicely. Unfortunately it doesn’t update the stories on reload or pull down. Even tried deleting BBCSport from memory and opening fresh. Used to work - obviously not testing BBCSport when they do updates.

I have used BBCSport for a long time and just loved it. But the past few months it has been horrific. It takes forever to load and refresh. I am very close to taking it off because it’s just adding stress to my life

Why does BBCSport take so long to load? It’s been a “feature” for at least a year and seems to get worse. There’s clearly a problem in the way content is accessed from the server (have you heard of Akamai?) and makes using BBCSport very frustrating. Often I just go elsewhere. Fix this and I’d rate it a 5/5.

No excuse in this day and age of fast wifi and 4G. Its consistently the slowest loading app ive ever installed on any of my phones. Its a shame cos the content is excellent. Alot of times i open it.......wait about 15 of the 20 seconds it takes and just close it,then go elsewhere.

Same as some other folks on here, BBCSport seems to freeze for seconds at a time which makes it much less enjoyable. The content itself is still great but the constant freezing is frustrating!

Since the last couple of updates, the load times for BBCSport and articles within BBCSport have become really slow.

Would give app a 5 star as it lets ex pats see what is going on in British sport. However, I would like to be able to view the videos. it quite often state not available in your area. This is discrimination to brits who live overseas

When the ‘new’ format started several years ago, it was good and informative. The picture format is helpful to identify latest news stories. However, my biggest frustration is that it takes several menu option clicks to get to the lower levels (e.g. to view certain divisions in soccer) or you can’t easily always see results and tables in the same place. There needs to be more focus on actual results, trends, latest scores from multiple sports that are more easily accessible on the side of the format, with key news forming other areas. I also access the site everyday from outside of the UK, and so some of the content (e.g. video) isn’t available. You might want to not show these links if they’re not available. And maybe join forces with other sports agencies to widen your news coverage and scope (think Flipboard or Apple News, etc) but become the global hub for sports news? Just a thought …

Takes forever to load and crashes a lot compared to BV news app. I have deleted it a few times. But I am sucker for pain.

Except information source - although sometimes when I log in it’s a previous (old) version of news that have have reloaded out of chronological sequence

The site presents you with highly objective news stories and analysis. Having an opinion is the right of every journalist but basing ones opinion on fiction rather than facts makes the opinion a nonsense!

Getting better, but still needs a favorite or some way to prioritize news.

I have been very happy with your content and design.

As a Brit living in the USA I rely on BBCSport to keep me informed of what is happening in Sports. I usually look at it several times a day and often follow events live on it.

BBCSport is highly addictive as it’s full of great information. Very easy to navigate.

Site has all the info I want about English football and more!

Best wishes and appreciation to everyone working to send sporting event results around the world. Yes, scores are trivial in life’s whole scheme but, each result diverts a few souls from crushing woes to smidgens of light heartedness.

“Hurray for our side.” And for yours. 👍❤️

Often the first place I look for results and headlines. Not the in depth coverage you want for teams you support/ watch on a regular basis. Would have been five stars but sometimes very slow to load.

Brilliant app that has all the news and even keeps me updated of my second crickey and Rugby teams (live) Australia

As usual content is good, but the load times are really slow. It’s like a current website trying to load via a dialup modem! Needs fixing ASAP.

BBCSport has good information and layout. The main downside is that on WiFi (not mobile) it injects - or allows my ISP TimeWarner to inject - long and extremely loud car adverts before each video.

Easy to navigate and on the spot update
