Customer Reviews

Great app except..
This app should run with a permanent spoiler alert banner above it! The scoreboard at the top of the screen is ahead of the game clock playing below. So if you happen to glance at the on screen scoreboard right before a basket is scored, the on screen scoreboard already reflects the change in score. Fine during regular gameplay but it kinda gives away the ending down the stretch. It ruined the ending of the Wichita State-Kentucky game because I knew when somebody was going to score before they scored, and the scoreboard went to "Final" before the final shot was even taken!! Can't someone figure out how to sync the on-screen scoreboard and clock with the one that's showing on the gameplay screen?? Is there no mechanism to impart a delay if the on-screen is actually running ahead in real time? Hard to avert your eyes from the top 1/4 of the screen just so you don't learn what happens before it happens!

Understandable but unconscionable compromises
This app has the unfortunate limitation of requiring a cable subscription to watch the 3/4 of the games that are aired on the cable networks. This is understandable since the cable companies have to pay to put together a broadcast, but it is not acceptable for those who do not have cable subscriptions & have no other way to watch the games.

The developers do try to mitigate this by allowing users to stream 3 hours of cable broadcast, however this is marred by the unconscionable decision to disable AirPlay. Why they chose to disable this functionality is beyond me.

All in all, this is a reasonably well made app hindered by major compromises made to make the cable companies—not the users—happy.

Future of television
First off, be warned that many reviews are based on the fact that the user doesn't have a cable subscription and can only do the preview.
I have a cable subscription, an iPad Air, and a high speed cable internet subscription and this app is truly amazing. Switching between live games is quick and easy. I only wish every cable provider had this app. I would watch shows on my ipad all the time.

  1. There is certainly practically a full week March Madness of action before the NCAA tournament

    announces their field on Selection Saturday. But even though that

    won't happen until Walk 12, March Madness

    Live
    it's simple enough to project the four Little.

    1 seeds in Walk Madness.

    The four top seeds should be March Madness Live Stream

    guarding national champion Villanova, North Carolina, Kansas and

    Gonzaga. Those four have recently been at the top of the rankings

    and still have also been the selections of bracketologists March Madness Bracket like ESPN's May well

    Lunardi and March Madness 2017 s Jerry Palm, and it will be a surprise if they didn't emerge at the conclusion of the

    seminar tournaments that will be held at throughout the week.

    Villanova (28-3, 15-3 Big East) has put together a sensational season after beating New you are

    able to in last year's March Madness 2017 Live

    countrywide title game. Head mentor Jay Wright has

    retained his foot on the gas pedal, and the Wildcats have continued to produce on a regular most basic. NCAA March Madness

    Villanova is the No more. 1 seed in the Big East tournament 2017 March Madness , and while that league has regularly

    produced upsets in the conference tournament, it would be somewhat of a shocker if the Wildcats

    didn't make it to it game. In the event they face second-seeded

    Retainer, it could be a good game that should go down to the line

    because Butler has recently defeated Villanova twice. In

    case it is any other Big East team, the Wildcats would be a significant

    favorite.
