Review summary

Users praise the YES Network app for delivering Yankees games and content with good video quality when it works. However, the app suffers from frequent freezing, crashing, and Chromecast issues, leading to a frustrating viewing experience. Mandatory ads and repeated login prompts detract from usability. The app also lacks essential features like DVR capabilities and has intrusive on-screen graphics. Despite paying a premium monthly fee, many users feel the app is neglected with little improvement or support over years, making it unreliable and disappointing.

2024-09-25	St*****	Where do I even start with this awful app.. With the "CAF Receiver v3 - Stable" error that appears every time without fail when casting requiring you to restart the app? Or the subsequent pre-roll ads that can't be skipped because the button doesn't work? Let's go with the un-dismissable overlay that blocks the entire video when you enter PiP mode. Don't worry, the developer has been made aware of all these issues for years and clearly has no intention to address them despite the $20/month fee.

2024-09-18	Jo*****	Forces you to watch an ad when opening the app for a $20 a month app. Skipping ad does not work for my android devices, but does on apple devices. Regularly has buffering issues, crashes forcing you to watch additional ads during a live sporting event even if it was within a minute of the last ad/crash.

2024-09-10	Br*****	2 years since I last reviewed an somehow the app is worse. It's comical how much worse it gets year after year. Freezes every time a homer is hit or a commercial comes on. Sometimes it comes back most of the time it just stays frozen. How do you charge for this? It's embarrassing. Spend some more on developers and get it fixed.

2024-07-30	Jo*****	Absolute trash app. Constantly freezes, errors, and even when it is working it has to be restarted every half inning because it stops working every time there's a commercial break. Takes all the joy out of watching a game. I've missed so many important moments. It's bad enough half the games are on other streaming services because of Yankee greed but now the games I can watch are unbearable. Life long Yankees fan but you guys seem to be intentionally making it hard to follow the team.

2024-07-11	ad*****	The monthly cost of YES is more than MAX, Netflix, whatever. However, they still have a mandatory ad which plays when you try to watch the game. Super greedy and unnecessary! And since the app crashes occasionally, you may be in a crucial moment (in the game) and be forced to watch an ad before returning to the action. It also logs me out occasionally and doesn't remember my info regardless of the setting. Do better!

2024-07-09	Mi*****	App is fine and snappy but whenever I am using it with Chromecast via a Pixel 6 or a Pixel 8, the stream crashes within any given 10 minute period to a black screen with the message "CAF Receiver v3 - Stable," which requires closing/reopening the app, then recasting but only for the same error to happen again within 10 minutes. Extremely frustrating. Please fix and prioritize this bug so we can 5-star the app!! Thank you

2024-06-08	Bi*****	This app sucks. And I pay over $20 per month for it. Watching the games is good, quality is good on phone, etc. Can't cast though I do think? And also, I literally have to log in to the app and my provider everytime. The app has not improved. It's very glitch at times, freezes and have to restart often. As soon as you turn on you can't just click watch now, ya gotta fiddle around the menu and go back. I'm paying for the steaming service too and It is very disappointing. Downgrading to 1 star

2024-06-02	Ch*****	App constantly freezes, especially when trying to cast to a Chromecast. App also asks you to turn on notifications every time you open the app which is annoying. There are annoying on screen graphics which are hard to hide and are unresponsive half the time. Finally there is a mandatory ad before playing live broadcast, which can make you miss part of an inning. Don't know which is worse, that the Yankees would putting out this app in such a bad state, or that it been this bad for years.

2024-05-31	Iz*****	I have constant freezing, errors, and general non-functionality when chromecasting. I submitted a case and was met with basic questions that don't in any way address the issue. Developers - most of your users have the same problems. Please stop asking us to submit tickets and test/fix your app!!! EDIT: 3 years later and this app is just as terrible as ever, if not even worse! It's extremely clear they do absolutely no testing of this app with Chromecast because it's completely non-functional.

2024-05-21	Jo*****	Constantly crashing after less than a minute. I've force stopped, cleared the cache and data and deleted and reinstalled. Still not working. Update: the app is certainly more stable, but still freezes. One thing that bothers me is when commercials run when first starting the app regardless whether the game or other program is in a break or not
