Offline until Beijing?
The app seems to be offline until Beijing? One cannot, for example, watch the world curling event happening in Calgary now. It says to go to Olympics.com, but when I authenticate there with SlingTV I get into an authentication loop I cannot break out of. Too bad, because just 2 weeks ago I watched the women’s US curling team play in a championship series in Calgary using the Olympics app. Now nothing. Unreliable.
Awesome
Love this app Great for watching gymnastics
Good, but quality has dropped.
The Olympic Channel is still pretty good: plenty of content such as original shows, sports replays, news, and a really helpful event calendar of international sports. However, the ease of navigation has dropped over the last few updates: a lot of menus have changed from normal-sized lists to scroll through to massive pictures you have to slog through to find what you’re looking for. They also used to have categories for specific Olympics at the main menu, with replays, interviews, and news; now you have to go to the search bar to find it, and all you find is athlete highlights unless you specifically search for replays. It also seems that some original shows have gone missing, though maybe I just need to look harder. That may not sound like a big deal, but newcomers may be left entirely unaware of half the channel’s content because it’s now harder to find. There’s also the issue of needing a cable or online video service subscription to access the live tv, but that’s likely due to existing business deals more than anything else.
No Resume, No Fast Forward/Rewind
Heaven forbid that you start watching a show, leave, come back, and want to pick up where you left off. There is no way to resume playback after leaving the app or returning to the app’s menu. No captions. No fast forward. No rewinding.
Left a bad taste in my mouth
Regardless of the TV deals meaning you have to have a subscription to the Olympic Channel (nightmare for cable/cord cutters), it has a fair bit of content. I just wish they had more recordings of recent events like the 2019 curling event or the table tennis test for Tokyo 2020.
It won’t let me register
Since it won’t let me register it is harder to find the events and sports I actually want to watch.
Useless
Audio doesn’t work at all for me on iOS 13. App navigation is slow to respond.
