User Reviews

Overall, The Open app delivers strong tournament coverage and useful features like hole-by-hole scoring and favorites, with accessibility for viewers without Sky Sports and responsive support noted by some. However, reviews frequently cite reliability problems: live streams often fail or show black screens, login/authentication issues prevent access, and the app is buggy, slow, or crashes. Content gaps persist (limited live video and leaderboard visibility). Frequent in-event updates and casting issues also hamper the experience.

Pros

Excellent coverage of The Open
Hole-by-hole scoring and favourites improve usability
Accessible for viewers without Sky Sports
Responsive tech support with quick fixes
Chromecast / casting support

Cons

Live streams often fail or show a black screen
Login/authentication issues prevent access to content
Buggy, slow performance with crashes
Insufficient live video coverage and lack of a clear live leaderboard
Frequent in-event app updates disrupt usage

Recent reviews

App seems good but live stream fails and just displays a black screen (even after clearing data, cache, cookies and logging back in)

They aren't talking enough about what actual golf is being played, and keep talking about how wonderful the RNA is. Perhaps we should all focus on the golf championship action? This is supposed to be the championship app...can someone ask the radio team to cover the 2025 Open please.

Wow, how poor is this app, it's DREADFUL. The R&A should be really embarrassed. Ok it shows some scores, but the video coverage is embarrassingly poor with only two primary channels (and a par 3 channel, woopy-doo) The R&A obviously didn't learn a thing from the overwhelming criticism last year., and IMO they're either too ignorant or too transfixed with money to care about the average golf fan to offer anything worthwhile. Try learning from the Masters!
