BBC Sport app problems

The BBC Sport app is probably in the top 5 mobile apps that users love to go to, to get the latest sports news in the UK – especially for expats outside of the country.

On occasion though, the BBC Sport app can stop working and can suffer problems during live stream events. We’ve seen ourselves issues with BBC Sport video players not working properly through the app, so whenever there is an outage you can send your feedback here.

Screen flickers on second tab operation. It’s OK on home screen. Started yesterday
Calum Green

Past few days the app has been painfully slow. Anyone else experiencing this? This is at all times – not during live events

  Painful, hopeless, frustrating and a few other choice words come to mind. Really disappointing and no sign of improvement.
Bob Hurley

Seems BBC Sport is very slow this morning, cannot even get a response. That is on all sport but mainly on Football
Nigel Lane

Today’s league has been updated
But midweek games have not ?
Anthony Murtagh

BBC Sport app performance has been poor for months now. I’ve given up and mostly use Sky Sports. A disappointment for me; no other option but to go elsewhere

It’s been 8 days now that the app is not working on my android device. Why can’t you guys fix this. Season is just couple of days away..
Tim Casey

BBC should be ashamed of themselves! The Sports app has not worked for several days. I have tried on my Samsung S6, my Samsung prime, my Samsung tablet my laptop etc.

Football season is only days away, it is ridiculous with over 1 million user’s, they do not have the technical people to resolve this problem. BBC please fix this problem urgently!
Tony Beedell

It is appalling. Same for me, not been working on a Samsung J5 Prime for a number of days now.
Sam Cannon

Going to start using the sky sports app. This is just ridiculous that it has not been fixed!
Scott D

Absoltely shocking that a Comapny the size of the Beeb, cannot find the bug to fix this. Since days have they known about this, and still you do not even come up with any suggestions. Typical British run Company couldnt give a toss. Glad your not getting my money for your Licences.
Emilio Herrera

When I open it I simply get a white screen. Tried uninstalling and
reinstalling with same result. No problems with any of my other apps,

BBC Sports App is not working for me for the past 3 days. Using Samsung Galaxy S6. Latest update may have restricted to some devices?

Uninstall and Reinstall didn’t help. So, I’ve been going to Mobile site via explorer.
Amit
