## Olympics Reviews in South Africa

### ***** "⚽️🏀🏈⚾️🥎🎾🏐🏓🏑🏅🏋️‍♂️🚴🏌️🧗🏊🏼‍♀️🤺🤽🏄⛸️🤾‍♀️🚣⛹️🤼‍♂️🥋"
Great app! I love the filters! They make it so fun! Wish there was videos and news for all of the sports, but otherwise, amazing!!
-- Cldt1234, 2024-08-29

### *---- "Pathetic"
App is an irritation, unfriendly and frustrating.
-- Lqnryda, 2024-08-06

### **--- "Review"
Not so user/friendly. 
But let me try this new update
-- Hathaway Simo, 2024-08-03

### *---- "Schedule doesn’t work."
Very frustrating app to use. 
Only reason you would want to use the app is for the schedule, but it’s incredibly unintuitive and has missing events when you apply filters.
-- David James Adams, 2024-07-28

### *---- "Terrible"
Terrible, just terrible. Functionality is underwhelming and confusing.
-- Duncs98, 2024-07-28

### *---- "Worst Olympic app ever"
This is by far the worst olympic app ever. The layout of this app is so confusing and makes it very hard to find the information you are looking for
-- kreef1234, 2024-07-28

### *---- "Can’t access app"
I can’t even access the app. Have to sign up just to use it and the access code is not coming through to my mail. Disappointing.
-- chiangdao3690, 2024-07-28

### *---- "Very poor"
Gets stuck on athlete formation and wont navigate back to home , foreseen to save the filters and favourites and even has events missing from the schedule: watching an event on TV that does  not exist in the schedule based on the filter. Navigation is not user friendly at all and overall experience is frustrating. Very, very poor app considering the scale of the event and the global reach.
-- MBRZ SA, 2024-07-27

### *---- "Useless"
This app is the most dreadful sporting event app I’ve ever used. Cannot find a list of participating countries or athletes. Difficult to find the schedules for all the events - went to swimming and only found the marathons! Have to keep changing the filters for finding events on a particular day. I’m sure I could probably have developed a better app myself!
-- Ha-de-da, 2024-07-27

### **--- "Bugs"
The bookmark function on the calendar does not work. It loses the bookmark after you navigate away from the calendar page
-- Benchfield, 2024-07-27

### *---- "Terrible App"
This is just horrible and frustrating. I cannot make any selections. I cannot change dates. Cannot select teams or individuals as favourites. Maybe the best I could do was see results when they have happened. 

Don’t bother.
-- Ianossp, 2024-07-26

### *---- "Poorly done. Why even bother making this app?"
Such a poorly done app. Frustrating. Got to wonder why you bothered
-- GarethG1970, 2024-07-24

### **--- "Very disappointing!"
Very poor user experience - unfriendly and unintuitive!
-- Osks, 2022-02-06

### *---- "Much more expected"
This app was disappointing. For an event that attracts hundreds of millions of viewers, it was poor. 
Some of the issues I had: no video highlights - perhaps rights issues?; almost impossible to have found an event on the schedule feature, unless you already knew the date…
Come on guys, you have a few years to improve, let’s hope you can!!!!
-- SafricanExposure, 2021-08-09

### *---- "Do not buy"
Absolute rubbish app
-- Kittypaws007, 2021-08-07

### **--- "Expected more"
Not a great app to use, I expected more for a major event. 

The filter also doesn’t work in the schedule tab, nothing listed. 

Look for something else.
-- 107ZJR, 2021-08-01

### *---- "Fails at its core function"
Event reminders don’t work and you can’t follow your favorite teams. I missed final events thinking that the official app of the olympics would work as advertised. Not worth the price. Don’t even bother downloading
-- UPT Bhuttu, 2021-07-31

### *---- "Schedule not working"
The app has a nice idea but the execution is terrible! The layout is a bit disorganized and confusing and the schedule function doesn’t work at all
-- Klarie_24, 2021-07-31

### *---- "Medal display not working"
The medal tally does not display any results, and nor does it list the countries when you try to filter on NOC. Support does not register their problem. Iphone8 with software 14.3.
-- CobraV8man, 2021-07-30

### *---- "Shocking"
Shocking app for such a great event. Downloaded it but removed it immediately as nothing wants to work.
-- @@@@Cor, 2021-07-29
