    The app is consistently reported as highly unstable, frequently freezing, crashing, and loading slowly across multiple devices and updates. Video playback and notifications are particularly problematic, with streaming often freezing or glitching, especially during live matches. Despite a visually appealing interface, the pervasive bugs and poor performance severely hinder usability and frustrate users.

    • “I've had it for years on multiple devices, and through countless updates it still crashes, fails to load, freezes, and generally works poorly 99% of the time.”
    • “Plagued with glitches, bugs, crashes and long load times.”
    • “When you pay money to watch your team play, especially because you live out of market, and every time you try to watch a match it constantly freezes, you end up finding out you wasted a lot of money... great app for news articles and stats but getting ripped off for MLS live and not being able to use it pretty much ruins it. Don't purchase MLS live until they a) fix their crap streaming quality, and b) make MLS streaming available on more platforms.”
  • monetization

    55 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The app's monetization heavily relies on frequent, intrusive, and repetitive ads that significantly hinder the user experience, causing video playback issues, crashes, and app lag. Despite a paid subscription, ads persist, frustrating users who find the advertising excessive, poorly implemented, and detracting from the app's core functionality. Overall, the aggressive ad strategy is seen as unprofessional and detrimental to enjoyment.

    • “Oppressive number of ads (well, really all the same ad) make this very nearly unusable.”
    • “Paying for MLS Live doesn't take away ads in the app, including before watching videos. Also, the fact that there are still ads after buying MLS Live is absolutely ridiculous.”
    • “Ads make this app worthless... also force closes on game day... strange how the ads are more reliable than the actual content of the app.”
  • optimization

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The app’s optimization is inconsistent, with many users reporting poor performance, frequent bugs, and slow load times that hinder usability, especially for video playback and team switching. While some note improvements and appreciate the design and informative content, overall the app struggles with stability and efficiency compared to similar apps.

    • “Much improved performance.”
    • “Seasons but use the app now for its superior performance with video and”
    • “Beautiful, material design and fast performance (plus all the news and videos on my favorite teams) makes this one of my favorite apps!”
    • “I originally gave this app 5 stars a few years ago but now the performance is awful, just like what other people have said in recent reviews.”
    • “Fire your devs or make them keep an app optimized by standing over them to make sure they do it right. The app has a memory leak or something somewhere that makes it inoperable; can't switch teams when it's falling flat on its face.”
    • “Chromecast performance is an exercise in frustration.”
  • story

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 67% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    Users find the story experience frustrating due to incomplete articles, ads before short videos, and notifications that fail to open the intended story, often leading to a confusing home screen without the requested content. The fast-scrolling headlines also make it difficult to keep up with news updates. Overall, the story feature lacks smooth navigation and reliable access to the desired articles.

    • “Has been okay, but now articles are truncated, showing just a blank white screen instead of finishing the story.”
    • “When you click the notifications, it takes you to an unrefreshed home screen instead of the story you clicked, and most times, the story you clicked isn't even in the list on the home screen.”
    • “The scrolling news at the top of the page moves frustratingly fast; you barely have enough time to read the article title before the next story appears.”
  • graphics

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The graphics have improved aesthetically and perform faster over time, but some users feel they may be overly complex, causing slower navigation or loading issues. Additionally, screen compatibility and font sizing pose problems for certain users, indicating a need for better optimization on mobile devices.

    • “It's improved over time, gotten a better aesthetic, and performs quicker.”
    • “Overall great app with good graphics.”
    • “It's a nice graphic but I was hoping to look up the schedule and standings.”
    • “Since the update, the app hasn't opened past the load graphic.”
    • “Also, the graphics don't fit my screen anymore because I have my font large.”
    • “The developers seem to care more about graphics and fancy layout than usability.”
  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in this version shows some improvement from previous ones, but remains tedious and cumbersome, particularly when navigating or finding specific games. In-progress games are especially difficult to manage, and issues like game highlight videos not playing properly add to the frustrating experience.

    • “Improvement from previous versions, but still tedious and cumbersome to navigate.”
    • “It's very tedious to find a specific game; in-progress games are even worse.”
    • “Game highlight video won't playback in full screen and bounces around to other tabs during those.”
  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor aspect is reflected unintentionally through users' frustration with frequent crashes and glitches, which they find ironically amusing rather than deliberately funny. The comedic value arises from the app's instability and unexpected behaviors.

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the app is generally well-received, though some users mention that it autoloads by default; however, it can be easily muted if desired.
