Con

👎 Although the app offers scores and streams, many features require NBA League Pass or cable sign‑in. Regional blackout restrictions often prevent viewing local games even for subscribers, and subscription costs can be high. That paywall limits casual fans and frustrates users expecting free access to live broadcasts.

👎 Live video can be inconsistent: users report buffering, video lag, audio‑sync errors, and occasional crashes during games. Streaming quality fluctuates even on strong connections, which harms the viewing experience for real‑time contests and highlights. Repeated technical issues make the app unreliable for watching close or critical moments.

👎 The app also pushes frequent, often irrelevant push notifications and displays ads for non‑paying users, interrupting score viewing. Additionally, heavy background activity and live streaming can drain battery and mobile data quickly. Settings for notifications and background usage are limited, so controlling interruptions and consumption can be cumbersome.
