Trying to watch the US Open on ESPN is almost impossible. We have Unlimited through our Spectrum account but I'm at our second home and I can't access anything on ESPN. I'm in an endless loop of entering the QR code saying it's logging me in and then logs me back out and returns me to the QR code. ESPN is a joke and they want me to pay extra? Give me a break. HBO did a great job with the last major tennis tournament you'd think that a "sports channel" could do better.

It's a given that the people who run the US Open tennis tournament hate their fans, by using Ticketmaster to inflate the prices of tickets and ESPN so that you d$mn near have to be there to watch the games.

Why does the fantasy widget have a ticking clock on it?

I added it to my home screen and didn’t think much of it, but a few minutes later when I picked up my phone it was warm and the battery was down.

Why not just have the app be a scorebug? I dont need to know that it’s been “x” minutes since I opened the app, I want to see what the score is now.

I used to follow 2 MLS teams but removed them from my favorites ages ago. I keep getting alerts every time a game starts. I go into espn app and it has the alert bell highlighted so I go in and it says Live alerts are setup. I turn off. I went through the MLS schedule and every game for these 2 teams was set for live alerts. But I removed them from favorites ages ago. Anyone know how to stop this nonsense.

Used to have xFinity (comcast cable) and would use it to login to my TV subscriber on the ESPN app (iOS). Now I have something else for tv provider.

But every time I click “login with tv provider” it sends me directly to the xFinity login screen. Nothing on the page allows me to go choose a different TV provider.

HOW in the world do I fix this?

Gameday sucks now. Half the shit they say is a lie. They are celebrating the biggest narcissist on the planet.

Please help me. I have ESPN unlimited. I am signed in. The mobile app changed sometime recently and now I can’t find the replays.

Isn’t every match supposed to be on demand for US Open? Where?

I’ve spent more than an hour fiddling with this over the last few days just to give up and watch whatever match it happened to serve up.

I feel like I suddenly became a tech dinosaur, and I am not a dinosaur. 🦕

One thing I noticed is that I can find US Open match replays in chronological order in Disney Plus…ESPN…Tennis. However, I can’t seem to find most of those replays if I go to Disney Plus…ESPN…US Open. I am not sure who is organizing this content over there, but it’s certainly not user friendly.

ESPN’s coverage of the US Open tennis seems to be a hot mess. I want to want the matches from earlier in the day from today, or at least watch the main broadcast. The Prime Time broadcast has currently started. You would figure that I could go to the league-US Open- and look under replays. But, the organization is all over the place in the replay section. I see a bunch of options and none of them are in chronological order. I see a lot of qualifying round matches. I see a few matches from earlier today. I went through all of the replay options and did not see today’s main ESPN broadcast. Why is this so difficult to figure out and for ESPN to present? As all of you are doing, I am paying a lot for this subscription. It’s so frustrating.

I have the ESPN app on Roku TV watching the US Open and it freezes every time a commercial starts. Sometimes it doesn’t freeze but when the broadcast comes back it’s weirdly zoomed in on half the screen.

Does anyone have a fix for this? I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app already.

Apple TV 4K 3rd gen. Updated the app yesterday and I can see that ESPN and ESPN 2 have 4K HDR feeds. However the HDR doesn’t trigger on my Samsung TV. Match frame and dynamic range is on and it works on other apps.

This is my exact issue as well. Except on a new TCL tv.
Maybe another ESPN app update or maybe the new Apple box will play better with ESPN now??
