Review summary

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.

Hole-by-hole scoring and favourites improve usability

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
