Review summary

Android reviews largely cite Pixel-specific UI blocks that prevent opening menus and accessing features, plus persistent fantasy page failures and casting problems. Crashes and intrusive ads compound usability issues. A minority of users still praise the app, but the recurring themes are navigation blocking bugs and unstable feature access.

Pros

Some users express positive sentiment about the app (e.g., 'I love the WSL app', 'Great', 'good').
The app is intended to provide access to core features like rankings, schedules, and fantasy.
On-device performance is acceptable for some users (e.g., 'WSL App works fine on my phone').

Cons

Pixel/Android UI overlay blocks navigation: menu and other controls are covered by the status bar, making them unclickable.
Fantasy page not loading or functioning properly on Android (including after updates).
Casting/Chromecast functionality not working or not detected.
App instability and crashes (bugs) interfere with usage.
Ad-heavy experience and difficult navigation.

2026-06-05	Am*****	this year's version of the app is trash. the UX for fantasy is absurd. why do I have to click 3 different things before I can even see my fantasy team?! it constantly resets my picks and is causing our fantasy league to miss events because it won't save. if you want people to play fantasy you should make the app functional. this should be your devs top priority. the app is ridulous. horrible UX.

2026-05-23	Ch*****	Possibly the worst sports app designed. User experience is awful. try to check scores and you're constantly inundated with ads

2026-05-14	Jo*****	love that you can watch surfing any time you want, when I grew up you had to buy a vhs tape in order to watch it. the kids today have a huge advantage by way of the ability to get better quicker and learning.

2026-05-02	Ni*****	almost never get notifications updates from the app. constantly having to turn them off and on and fiddle to get them to work, been going on for years now. videos reset meaning you need to watch the ads over and over and over. streaming quality is poor.

2026-04-26	Ti*****	If I could give it a 0 I would. TV app consistently crashes when starting. Plays the ad and then just exits the app. Can't watch a second of surfing, but can surely watch the ads. every time.

2026-04-26	An*****	every season they make it worse, the fantasy is slow and tiring to access and the cast to other devices does not work even though it works with other apps on my phone, they always make it worse and force you to watch the finals on this app, so I can watch all other heats on YouTube with chrome cast on my TV, but the final I have to watch on my cellphone, hate it
