Washington Capitals for Android
I'm guessing this change was NHL mandated but turning a dedicated Capitals app into a shortcut to the Capitals team page on the NHL app is ridiculous. I especially miss my home screen widget that kept me abreast of real time scores for my team, not the entire league. What was the point of this change? I miss my dedicated team app.
So sad. I feel like an old friend has died. I'll miss my Caps App. And such blatant manipulation by the NHL, now with full control, taking us all under their wing. No thanks. Uninstalling NHL app and the now deceitfully named "Capitals App".
No individualism allowed in professional hockey anymore. CONFORM TO THE WILL OF THE NHL OR PISS OFF. Is that your attitude NHL? It's starting folks. They won't stop until they do to the NHL like they did with NFL football.
Old app was great! I am NOT installing the nhl app so goodbye caps app. What a joke from a team that used to have a fan's kind of owner. Total garbage move. Stupid. Dumb. No reason for it. Buh bye
This app was the perfect way for me to follow the Caps as I live out of market. I could easily listen to the games and all the stats I wanted were at my fingertips. The NHL app is clunky and harder to use, thanks for making this a redirect.
As others have posted, the "Caps App" simply launches NHL app on your phone. This is no longer a standalone app, and frankly is a bloated shortcut link acting like an app. Simply no reason to have this on your phone anymore. Uninstalling as soon as I'm done with this review.
Obviously money still rules in Washington D.C. i guess winning the presidents trophy and finally getting national coverage for our great team means an opportunity for the powers that be to cash in on all of our dedicated die hard support. We will always rock the red!!! But we will not pay the NHL'S bills just to support and follow our beloved Caps. What a pathetic move from what has otherwise been a high class well represented organization. Shame on you!!! !!!LETS GO CAPS!!!
I miss being able to look up the live game rosters and stats while listening to the radio feed. This used to be my go to app for following the Caps out of area.
I liked the old app. Now, there isn't the same content available, and I hate the layout. I resent having to download another app, just so this can launch that one. Bring back my Caps App!
NHL is greedy and wants everyone to go through their main site. This app only provide a link to the NHL app now. I recommend finding the last APK version than downloading that one. I don't know if it will still work but it's worth a try.
I liked the old Capitals app. Why do I have to open one app and then the complicated NHL app opens. Useless app. I won't use it anymore. I moved out of Caps area so Thank goodness I have Center Ice to watch my Caps.
Now I have an "app" that links to the NHL app... For what? The NHL app is terrible compared to the former app dedicated to the Caps. No score widget or easy access to Caps radio. Really disappointed!!
For the love of god please go back to the previous version. This makes managing my season tickets a total nightmare compared to the old app. Doesn't appear that i can transfer my tickets to my membership card at all.... which doesn't make sense.
Booooo!!!! This used to be an amazing app. Then the notifications stopped working. And now no more app, it's just a launcher for the NHL app??? I'm guessing the league pushed them into this. Jeez the league won't let the Caps have anything!
Bring back old Caps app please-it was great! Was giving this one a chance but it stinks. Not exclusively Caps! I only want Caps games goals & Caps news coming thru! Don't always get Caps goals either! Yuk!
WHY make us use this which simply dumps us over to NHL app. I liked the app because it was different than what the league pumped out so thanks for breaking something that didn't need fixing!
If I wanted to install the clunky NHL app I would have. Looking into other ways to keep up with the Caps.
What is the point? Why? I mean, why go from the real app to this? If I wanted to use the NHL app, I would have already been using it. I use the Caps app because I hate the NHL one.
If I wanted NHL I would have downloaded it. I was much happier with the original caps app. Don't like nothing about the new format or the way it was shoved down our throats!!!
Now that the app has been updated, it's gone from perfect to not worth my time. It was outstanding at first, getting constant updates on the game. Now I have to use a different app? Pointless.
I loved my capitals app. It was specifically designed for Washington Capitals fans. The new update merges with the NHL app. If I wanted that, I would have downloaded it. I have plenty of overall sports aps. The widget also is disabled. Uninstalling.
The NHL ruined this and every other team's app. I loved getting push notifications for game starts, goals, etc. No point in having this app anymore, I refuse to download the NHL app.
Since MLBAM took over this app is pointless as is the NHL app. Such a shame. Try to turn all notifications off but miraculously still get them.
If I wanted the NHL app I would download it. I really enjoyed the Caps app before, but I am now going to uninstall it because it is completely useless.
Should have kept the old app it was good and was always updated with everything that happens including press conferences and all that. It's too bad loved the app now it's not even an app.
Don't bother using this app of you just want caps info.... the update made the capitals app useless and just links to a crappy NHL app now. I'm guessing the point is to show you more information. Guess it's time to see if RMNB has a mobile app yet
Not only does this app no longer provide anything itself, it now requires you to download and use the NHL app. Less than worthless. Deleting for it's stated lack of purpose.
If you haven't updated, don't! New app links to NHL app. I don't want all NHL stats and news. Widget shows all teams. I only want my Capitals on my Capitals app and widget.
The update is horrible. I don't want the NHL app. Suck it Bettman.
The app was great last year. Now the NHL has neutered it and made all teams' apps just a redirect to the NHL app. Uninstalling.
If you don't put back original app I will uninstall this crap NHL app ,if I wanted NHL app I would download it.
The NHL had to meddle in something good and ruined the app by making it a shortcut to the NHL app. I've since deleted my app because of this update.
Old Caps app was perfect. But the NHL had to get their grubby selfish greedy hands on it and now its trash
The app use to be awesome now all it does is open the NHL app. Why have an app that just opens a different app. Lazy!
I already had the NHL app, and would open it if I wanted to. Love my Capitals, hate the app now.
The nhl widget shows scores around the league. I want the schedule for the caps. Bring back the older version. What is the purpose of this app now?
Updated this app and expected the normal notification for the next preseason game. Missed it since now this app is a dummy app for the NHL app. No game start or score playing notifications? Ridiculous and pointless is this app now. Uninstall I might
Hey man, here's an idea. Let's take one of the best sports websites and completely destroy it replacing it with something that only shows the team schedule. Can't you just see the 5star reviews rolling in. WORTHLESS The team owner is an old AOL guy, did you bother to ask him?
Disappointed in this update and the caps wiget I had on my phone that reminded me of games and showed me the score is gone now also. So stupid. The caps app is just the NHL app now.

I don't understand this update. Why use one app just to access another app? It already brings up Caps info in my NHL app, so I used the Caps app to listen to games or when I can't listen, keep updated on the game since it was updated faster. This really just makes no sense to me at all. If you were going to consolidate into the NHL app, just get rid of the Caps app. Seems silly and redundant now.
