The app is widely reported to be extremely buggy, with users experiencing frequent glitches, slow performance, and issues with loading content. Many reviewers noted that navigation is difficult due to these bugs, particularly when trying to watch live matches or videos, leading to a frustrating user experience. While some users appreciate the app's design and features, the overall consensus is that stability needs significant improvement.
- “This app is extremely buggy.”
- “The app is difficult to use, almost impossible. It's buggy and always fails to load, and even if you choose to enable push notifications, they never work or appear at all. One of the worst apps I have ever had to use; please fix it.”

Users express frustration with the monetization strategy, highlighting the prevalence of in-app purchases and excessive ads that detract from the overall experience. While some appreciate the navigation improvements compared to competitors, many feel that the focus on revenue generation through ads and loot boxes compromises the quality of the product.

- “The in-game purchases are optional and don't impact the overall experience, which is refreshing.”
- “It's great to see a game that offers cosmetic items for purchase without affecting gameplay balance.”
- “But hey... when you make billions in revenue from in-game purchases and loot boxes, why bother putting anything of quality out anymore...”
- “But of course you don't have any problem turning the streams unwatchable with a ridiculous amount of ads.”
- “Fix your product before advertising token drops.”

- “Cannot easily skip to gameplay.”
- “And another idea to improve the app: while casting gameplay on TV, could the overhead view of the game be shown on the phone as a companion?”
