Good news is many of the play-by-play announcers do a good job. Those assets are lost on an app that does nearly everything poorly. Most of these comments are in regard to the Apple TV app, but are relevant here because iPhone/iPad screens are just too small to see anything - especially since the camera operators never zoom on the action or players. The only use for the mobile apps would be for data entry or device control of an Apple TV. 1. Apple TV app: every week I have to scroll through hundreds of teams to get to ours. And the app scrolls either too slowly, or way too fast. Simple solution is to add an index bar to the right! 2. No integration between Apple TV and iPhone/iPad. This would allow data entry on the iPhone to control the Apple TV. 3. Apple TV app: no Favorites! This would solve #1, to an extent. 4. No useful game info. A viewer needs several pieces of information to understand the game context. - what period? - what is the score? - how much time left in the period? - is there a penalty, and how much time is left? - SOG is a nice to have Doesn’t seem technically daunting to provide this. When it is displayed it is only time and score, which is almost always wrong. 5. The camera never zooms. For $30/month they need to invest more on improving the entire platform. If there’s one ‘worst’, that would be #5 - without it we’re just looking at a video, not a hockey game.

If you have family playing junior hockey out of town, you’ve got no choice. These guys know it, and are running an absolute racket. There is no quality control, several games a year are simply not shown and the developers don’t care. This app is an absolute disgrace, as is their base pc product. It exists only because it is a monopoly. If you have any way to avoid forking over money to the trash that runs this operation, I suggest you find it. I also implore any junior hockey league to move on from this platform. Just have somebody periscope the games with an iPhone. The quality will probably be better and you can save your parents some hard-earned money.

I was so looking forward to viewing my nephew ‘s games. I have a new XS Max phone. When the feed is not in HD I cannot get it. They refuse to acknowledge that the problem is on their end or that they are using non-digital equipment at some arenas. From Rodman Arena I could get the feed from the NHL Rink but not the Olympic Rink. Then today the audio feed was messed up. Obviously the announcer was plugged into the wrong output. Again they deny responsibility. I requested a phone number to contact management during business hours and was told one is not available. I’ve never been so disappointed in an APP.

I had this app to watch our son play and cast it to our tv using Chromecast. It worked okay last year but I deleted the app due to a glitch and when I reinstalled it you can no longer cast the games. This makes it useless for us The person that I just read his review is also right. There seems to be no controls in place to check quality and it is very expensive and is the only option.

I live on the West Coast my son is playing hockey on the East Coast. HockeyTV is an option for our family to enjoy watching him play and to root him and his team on from afar. The quality of the video can be challenging to view even on our 60 inch TV depending on which venue Is hosting, but some is better than none. I do have a hard time with the time difference. Some of the games are shown one hour different, some are live. Try it out.
