EVENTS ARE GONE AFTER 30 DAYS

Infuriating that events are only archived for 30 days and then they are gone forever. Missed so much content that i was looking forward to watching because of this. You guys at espn+ need to offer some way of watching events past 30 days. Especially the ncaa tournament. An unbelievable disservice to the fans that these events end up on a hard drive never to be seen again. Also your adds are way too long and frequent. I literally only paid for this because of the monopoly you have on ncaa wrestling. I’d write 10 more 1 star reviews and it still wouldn’t be enough. Terrible

ESPN Streaming Services horrors

Just ESPN Streaming Services not The higher priced packages just isbt worth it. you can watch some podcasts and maybe 5 random sporting events. Everything local is blacked out and most games are for the more costly bundles. The App drains you're memory even when closed. Customer Service is very unhelpful and cant answer basic questions. I did NOT get the higher priced Access because it is Already bad.... why would I continue on?

I can't believe that your company…

I can't believe that your company actually prompts a non sport/entertainment industry as the WWF, or whatever it's called now. It's hard to take your station seriously. Please don't run fake wrestling match updates on the bottom line score update ticker. How are your sportscenter hosts not embarrassed? How are any of you not embarrassed? If I could give 0 stars, I would!

ESPN Watch is a Dutch "service".

ESPN Watch is a Dutch "service".
If you're a customer with Ziggo it's a diaster to watch it on your laptop. Literally a disaster.
Log in to Ziggo: check
Log in to ESPN Watch....a.k.a. DISNEY! No! But somehow I got it to log on, don't ask me how.
Than another question: "Log in to ZIGGO!" You do that and all of a sudden it's a different account again. I am baffles. This is torture.

Trash!!

ESPN is the absolutely worst sports "channel". Their streaming app is worthless and definitely not worth a single penny of what they charge you. Everything from the programming to the "shows" and the personnel they have commentating games. They are bias toward certain sports and certain teams. They promote trash products that have nothing to do with quality sports viewing. App login issues, constantly buffering, no customer service what so ever.

ESPN…LOSING ITS AUDIENCE

ESPN is losing viewership for good reason…they have abandoned substantive commentary in exchange for PC appearances. Want quality content regarding baseball? Nope. ESPN gives you a softball player as its baseball expert. Why? They have to have a woman. Wow. She’s terrible. And that’s just one example. ESPN is trying to prop up the NBA despite the fact the NBA is losing viewers. Why? Several reasons, but the primary reason is that ESPN has a lot of money at stake on the NBA. You get the idea. ESPN is sacrificing substance for its own agendas.

ESPN TV is a very very poor and low quality service

ESPN sucks so bad
I pay for a subscription and they still make me watch ads during replays of events
On a regular basis they make me waste my time by having to sign back in to my tv provider even though I've been using the same one for years.
ESPN sucks. I wish i could give it .005 stars

Horrible TV App

This is the absolute worst streaming app of all time. It’s disorganized and messy. Even with the search feature I frequently miss kickoff or tipoff due to the near impossibility of finding the game I want to watch.

They just keep getting WORSE

They just keep getting WORSE. Now they have ESPN PLUS, which only adds to the utter frustration.
NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT, NO WAY TO GET THINGS FIXED WHEN THEY INEVITABLY STOP WORKING.
The only thing you can COUNT ON with these incompetent assholes is FAILURE.

Absolutely garbage

Absolutely garbage. You pay for the app then you get a get Access prompt when you go to watch the game. Don't waste your money.

The app promised to show the Australian…

The app promised to show the Australian Open tennis grand slam but even though the quarterfinal match is over since 2 hours I still cannot see the replay of the match between Sinner and Shelton or other replays ;-(( so why not instantly showing the replay ?? it is also confusing because I constantly get updates on Football or Football match even though I want to watch tennis and not football and lastly it is confusing that on the ESPN app on Samsung TV thru show less than on the ESPN phone app overall not a good app service for a tennis fan ;-(((
