The Olympics - Official App for Android
It's an amazing app for the lovers of Olympics
Like it
Title is self explanatory. The app does not show schedules or display results and the navigation is terrible.
Worst olympics coverage EVER. NBC BLEW IT. Can't watch or find anything coverage was sorry. Delayed etc. Used to be a big NBC fan. No longer
Don't download this app. I'm certain there is something way better out there
Not loaded after waiting for a long time
An Olympics app without a medals table is terrible let alone the rest which other reviewers have commented on
I don't know why everyone is hating on this app. I think the layout is clean and I found load times to be quick.

What a terrible app. I suspect this is a bloody non-native app. Terrible performance, rubbish navigation and really poor content. IOC, whoever persuaded you this was a good idea, sack them immediately. Tosh.
All I wanted was a great app like the one we had for the UK 2012 Olympics, it had all the information needed complete with medals table, but this is a complete waste of time. The search is rubbish it's an individual search instead of a group one. It's now getting uninstalled,
You clearly did not design this app with the user in mind. Just trying to do something simple, like finding all results for a certain athlete, turns into a half hour of frustration, and ends in abandonment in favor of Google.
Not very user friendly. Fiddly to select a page, and very slow to load. Also the schedule has no option to change times to your own time zone.
Great job, jagoffs! Any reasonable app developer might assume when I click on 'basketball' that I want today's basketball results, but lo and behold you geniuses have figured out what I REALLY want is a history of Olympic basketball. BRILLIANT WORK, IDIOTS! I might download this again only for the satisfaction of uninstalling it again. This app made me seriously want to kill my phone. It should come with a disclaimer that reads: "Warning: this app is absolutely useless." Please die in a fire, ok?
With all the fanfare given to these games, I'd have thought they'd have a better app to use while watching. Uninstall.
Had to try even after seeing reviews. Wanted to see up to date results and news. So slow and only provides information from last Olympics. If you want current information don't get this app. I'd give it no stars if I could.
no schedule for any event. app sucks, I don't care about the accolades of the athletes ,I want to see them make new ones.
Thinking it was an official site, I thought it can't be that bad....but haha yes, it's THAT bad.....Very difficult to navigate and not very instinctive, it takes ages to find anything....Haha by the time I find the sport I want,...it would probably be over...Thus, not a helpful app at all.....I will now uninstall ....
Silly me thinking I would ignore the previous ratings and see for myself. Why would it be any better for me? And once it loaded for me and I eventually selected my country, I tried checking the results... Bad idea as the results were for previous games, not these games. I'm just about to delete this app, It's way too slow to work. I would have thought such a big mob that they could do a better job, but nope. The best apps I have found are from the little guy coding at the dining table.
Very little info really. Tried it for 3 days. A waste of memory. I guess if the IOC can't license it and make tons of money they don't want to show you much.
Horrible app. No no this is beyond horrible. Setting up scheduling favourites was easy. Getting to it seems like a mission impossible. I am still scratching my head as to where are the favorites on this app. WTF!!!!!
All I want is the medals tally. Why should this be so hard to find? Slower, weaker, lower.
There are a lot of positives about this app and there's plenty of potential but the one thing it desperately needs is a day-by-day schedule of events. Hard to understand why that has not been included so far.
Navigation is terrible. There is no schedule so I don't know when each sport is supposed to start.
Dont download and sin. One of the worst app available. I feel its a virus app. Just uninstall
This app is as bad as the Rio waters are dirty. Doesn't show current standings or updates, just the final results. Pretty worthless.
This app has nothing I want to see as an Olympic spectator. There is no medal count by country. The event calendar is undecipherable. The navigation makes no sense to me at all. 3 days into the Olympics and I'm uninstalling it.
Very poorly done. Tried to find a result and have spent several minutes without success. I've now given up. For an official app this should be seamless.
So I can't even see a medal count.. plus it's so slow
Esta ap es muyyyyy lenta y tengo una conection de internet super rapida. No lo recomiendo para nada. It sucks very slow nothing useful.
Long loading times, information all over the place without clear structure, cannot customise it to my liking.... uninstalled due to continued frustration.
Pathetic. I wanted to watch the final night of swimming but it cuts out after only a few seconds. Doesn't do it with any other sports just swimming. Not a happy camper.
This app doesnt update fast....is couple of days behind. Cant see schedules and other results easily. So frustrating.
No schedule, epicly slow load times, poor navigation, just seems to be a guide to each sport.
The "app" is just basically a bookmark for the site. Better off just viewing it in your mobile browser than to take up space with an "app".
Gives excellent information, maybe a little slow but not unusable and worth the fraction of a second delay for the information it gives me.
Worst olympics coverage EVER. NBC BLEW IT. Can't watch or find anything coverage was sorry. Delayed etc. Used to be a big NBC fan. No longer
As many before me have said, for the biggest sporting event on the planet this has to be the worst app on the planet. Seriously amateur, slow and difficult to navigate.
Trey finding a medal count...nope. what's on in your time zone on TV and station now? No. Want to dive deep on a particular sport that may or may not have been played? Totally does that...
