BT Sport for Android
Very good app to have access to all of the BT Sports channels. I would give this app 5 stars if you were able to set reminders for certain shows that are coming on later that you want to watch. Where the app could pop up a reminder via a notification to say something like "CL Show starting in 5 minutes" or "CL show about to start". Similar to what Sky have on their boxes.
Just rubbish. Why make it so bloody crap? How many times must a person click around just to get something to play? Why aren't there more buttons for simple things like forward 10s? Casting doesn't always work. No resume from where you left off. NBA basketball is really really hidden for so e reason. Such a poor effort.
Why does this app no longer work on my fire stick? Was working fine, in fact brilliant until today when app has been updated. It's now saying i needed google play services which is not supported by fire stick. How do i get app via amazon as it does not seem to be available.
Why disadvantage EE customers when it comes to casting to tv?? Are we second rate customers? Do you not want me to pay for the service once my free trial is up? Think about it. Also please stop shoving the ufc fight results in my face as soon as i enter the ufc section! I don't want to know before i watch the event, have a ufc results tab for goodness sake. Thanks
Started off crappy but this app through some updates it has to be said, has made it the must-have sports app. Amazing in game experience, stats, ability to watch goals you've missed etc. It has actually left me shell-shocked. 5* keep it up
OK so I like alot that's on the app and sports on bt but the app is buggy. Everytime I turn my Bluetooth on bt sports tells me it has a problem...OK but it wasn't even open. Also casting only works occasionally. Most of the time it's fine but you go to the app. Set it to cast and press play on a replay of a football match and it just plays on the phone. So much potential but it's just annoying most of the time *update* this is still the same after almost a year. What a joke.
This is a shocking piece of software that is alwaysbug-ridden. I would have expected better from the world's leading telecommunications company, but sadly it force quits every time I want to use it to cast a picture via Chromecast? Somewhat lacking in vision I think (Android 5.1.1)
As a BT mobile customer I got this free for my first 3 months. I will not be paying the £5+ to get this regular. I have never had such problems watching a game. Stop start for 100+ mins getting notifications through about goals 5 mins before I see them as the delay is shocking. Will be cancelling it and my contract as this was the only reason I got BT mobile. Not happy :-(
Spent more time restarting/reloading than watching the rugby. Needs to be reworked as a waste of money otherwise. Yes, tried on another device and same problem. No issues with connection, as internet/other apps worked fine!
Every 2 to 3 minutes video freezes. We need to rest at the app. Even use the bt sin 4g and bt WiFi the bt app give headache. I don't know how the other customers feel. I don't know when and how they are going to sort this
Got this for the football to chrome cast onto Samsung TV. Poor picture quality. Blurred in close up of players and pitch. Action stutters and doesn't flow as when watching good old BBC. No problem with casting and no buffering but still an eye straining experience.
Imagine - it's one minute to kick-off and you're trying to log in to this app to watch a game, and you're not sure which password you used. This one? No. This one? No. This one...? Bang - locked out for FIFTEEN MINUTES. No LFC v CHE for me. No warning, either - sudden lockout surprise. Thoroughly sh1tty, BT. It would have been so easy to pop up a warning on the second guess but no, you had to p1ss on my chips.
Too difficult to access the Guide. The minute I open this app I want to be able to which matches are on now and what is going to be on. It's too much of a ball ache to get this information.
I don't understand why the play cannot resume from where I left off if I change the screen. Hopefully you can see why this annoying if one receives a phone call. Also why does it log me out just before a big event. Annoying.
EE Customers. . . Why are you complaining?? 3 months free subscription and no contract, so what if you can't stream if that's what you want then pay for full subscription. Bravo for EE and BT. Great offer and great app.
What a sports app. Love the multi camera view during a game and the highlights points on the time bar so that you can skip back and watch important bits you may have missed. Awesome. Shame you have to pay so much to subscribe.
Like the app generally (does crash sometimes) but why no chromecast for EE package customers? I still pay for it (obviously you have a deal with EE) and it has the chrome cast logo but won't actually cast anything. Don't see why it would make any difference to just make that available to everyone.
Keeps saying I need to activate account id003 on my android tablet and still doesn't work after apparently 'activating' it. I'm a full bt user and won't let me use it after 30 or so attempts....Awful needs looking at!!
Pure crap keeps lagging on my phone and laptop when trying to watch live. Pay good money for BT and they can't provide an app that works.
In your latest update you claim to have made chromecast support easier to use? So where has the option to control the app through the lock/home screen gone? I now have to open the app to control it? Abit counter productive no, it's now harder! Poor update!
As a paying bt sport customer, you would expect a smooth and stress free app...Oh how wrong you are. This is the worst app ive ever used. its constantly stuttering and jerking when i try to watch a live game. to the point that its unwatchable. I mean just look how many 1 star reviews this gets. its terrible and it angers me that i pay BT and there are free apps which stream live sports better
Latest update has broken this on my Shield TV. It says to update Google play services, but Google play services is up to date. Have to watch BT Sport on KODI now. Some state of affairs when the free, illegal service works better than the paid for one. Then they wonder why piracy is winning!
Why have you taken away Chromecast ability from EE customers? Was a great app until you took it away. Was considering keep it after my trial. Might as well forget it now
This app is just about one of the worst I have ever used to watch live sport. It constantly crashes for no reason and whilst trying to watch football there is no option to do this in standard viewer to save data. Further to this the customer support is horrendous as they don't have a clue about how the app runs. They blamed the crashing on my phone saying the don't support BlackBerry (I use an Android version) and that app crashing was something I needed to bring up with my carrier EE. I would struggle to give this app more than 1 star if it had been free but the fact they charge people for this is a joke!!! Do yourself a favour, take 10 minutes on YouTube and learn how to work KODI... you'll be so glad you did. Update 25/01/17 - I had been in contact with BT support who advised the issue was with EE and they would need to be contacted regarding the app crashing. The app continued to crash whether used with mobile data or WIFI on fibre.
I only watch it for football, great app but it doesn't let me cast through the app. Can't see where I'm going wrong as it always me to press the cast button then.nothing.
This app used to be good but now just annoys me with streaming that stutters. Nothing wrong with my broadband connection so it must be the app as other streaming apps work just fine.
It has been working great until Thursday. Now you can't get full screen. Come on sort this problem out
As part of EE sport you can only play on your device you can't cast. While watching sport you are limited to a tiny window which cannot be maximized to feel your screen. Unless you want sport news, I wouldn't bother - uninstalled.
Bt have been saying the same thing for months you need a bt id well follow sky sports and add a virgin sign in button simple im sure your tech guys could sort this out
Hi, thank you for this great 3 month deal, but unfortunately I can only watch it on my smartphone screen, which is to small, you have given me the option to watch it on chromecast and apple tv for casting, but on the latest android software we have smart view, and other available casting systems, ex. Play to on nowtv. Why are you asking us to spend £30 upwards, when most smart tvs you can cast too without buying extra hardware. Please make this available without buying more unnecessary hardware and software. Thank you Regards Michael
BT SPORTS APP. ONLY USED IT ONCE SO FAR. BUT THE APP WORKS GREAT. AND BESIDES LIVE SPORTS THERES LOADS OF OVER SPORTS AND SPORTS FILMS TO WATCH ETC.
Loved this app until it stopped working last wkend on my firestick now says need google services to work which cant get on firestick not happy at all
Chromecast does not work. Casts BT sport logo to screen and then just plays the video on the phone instead.
Watching a football match, the whole reason for having the app. It crashes kicks me out and wont let me log in. Too many issues thinking of ditching it using wifi although connection not an issue
Great app only for BT and EE customers. I like it. BT should think about an app with all their channels aimed at Internet streaming and not require BT Internet or EE to sign up. They could make more customers and a lot of money. The need to have BT Internet or EE is restricting many people who would sign up for a streaming only service.
Bad update BT. You have re-introduced an old problem which bins the stream at every ad break when casting to Chromecast. Please fix it before the EFS on Sunday.
I pay for bt sport and use my fire stick sometimes when i don't have access to the main television. Now since the update it doesn't let me use the fire stick because it doesn't have google play services installed.
So far: so good. Quality is clear even on my cheap Android. No interruptions in broadcast, just a tiny tiny bit of buffering to begin with but that is to be expected! I would really like a search feature. (Or have I missed it?) For example: I would like to search for upcoming coverage from particular parts of the world, or for specific sports such as badminton. Rather than going through the "Other Sports" section... just to read about fishing and darts.
I had problems with this years ago but this is a completely different app now. I gave it two stars before but it's definitely a five now. Seamless streaming and amazing extra features such as a timeline where you can watch highlights you've missed such as goals etc. This came in handy yesterday when I joined the game late and missed the first two goals. There's even different cameras including the bench to see the level of Mourinho's moodiness. Simply the best streaming app there is.

This has improved drastically lately, it's actually now a pleasant experience to use the app. Love the addition of 'Live on BT Sport' so you can quickly see live events coming up without having to go to the TV Guide. However, the back button always wants to close the app instead of just going back to the previous page/info. The Chromecast info goes full page which is infuriating when trying to return to the app. Also a *request*: Add the option to set reminders from TV Guide and Live on BT Sport
