This app is horrible. 1st time with it, don't waste your money. It won't allow you to cast to a TV because it says you're not in your home area? My TV's won't download the app to the TV for some reason. The app is useless and I wasted $160. I figured it would be like the MLB app which is A+. What a waste of money. Unless it's back on YouTube TV next year I suggest not wasting your money since you can't watch it. They also charge the same price as last year even though some games are on Amazon.

I paid 160 dollars for the full package and I got absolutely nothing that was advertised. I can't watch any games regardless of blackouts. The app does not recognize if you sign up through Google play, and just keeps saying that you have to pay another 160 to watch. but if you click on the button to pay again, Google rightfully stops you and says you already paid. I have go through Google to get my money back because tech support does not exist for league pass. Terrible app terrible company.

Thank you for your feedback. Blackout restrictions are in place due to networks having exclusive rights to broadcast games in your region. If you think you've been incorrectly blacked out, please visit support.watch.nba.com to submit a request with your zip code. Thanks, NBA Support

Paid for the 1 year subscription and I can't even get anything to load after starting the app, when on mobile data. Edit after dev comment: Your strategy of uninstalling and reinstalling works great. Problem is, I have had to do this every single day. I have now uninstalled and reinstalled this app every morning for 4 days and if I don't do that, it'll just keep loading and loading and loading without going anywhere. This app used to work effortlessly a month ago.
