World Surf League

way too buggy for making watching finals day mandatory on

Great app amazing as a surfer in so call I love it so much

Playback is problematic for an app who’s primary purpose is to display surf contests. Ads force the screen into portrait mode while watching in landscape. When ads end, you’re stuck in portrait mode and then when switching to landscape, the screen blacks out, with audio remaining. Usually, correction will require closing the app and then rewatching the same 3 advertisers’ tiresome ads, again. I’d just watch on YouTube but they don’t broadcast on finals day, which I get. Please fix the playback on the WSL app if you’re going to make that the primary viewing option. Unless, of course, you’re beholden to ESPN+ and trying to influence us over there. That won’t happen. I’ll pay by watching the ads, but not more than I have to.

When watching the contest and using Airplay or when already watching the contest using Mirror feature from iPhone to MacBook Air, when the advertisement come up, it changes from full screen to regular mode like holding iPhone on your hand. So when turning the iPhone again so it goes back and Mirroring Full Wide Screen mode, the screen goes black, with audio but unable to see anything. Try many times to no luck, to finish watching Margaret River Pro. Any attention to this little misshap will be much appreciated.

Horrible app. So hard to navigate. All i want to do is look at event schedules and for some reason this is difficult!

The app is buggy and hardly works for the one feature anyone has it for, fantasy surfing. This is what DEI will get you.

Super frustrating when you have to change your brightness and you have to watch all six advertisements again. Must do this about 15 times watching an hours worth of the contest I think I’ve watched more advertisements than actual surfing on this app. Terrible, get it together WSL.

This app is GARBAGE. It’s so annoying that you stop streaming on YouTube after Quarterfinals and force us to watch here. Every time I move my phone, or go to reply to a text, or do anything else with my phone, the stream bugs out and I have to watch a minute of ads again. This is so frustrating when we’re in the middle of a Finals heat…shame on the greedy WSL pigs!

A useful app for a great sport league, but the authors really need to figure out the stream logic when you exit the live stream and return. It looks like code confusion around picture in a picture that leaves you with two streams playing simultaneously resulting in an app restart.

If you going to let men surf against women, then eliminate categories…everyone surfs against everyone…
