## Description

Need a place to watch the big game or your favorite team? DIRECTV Sports Bar Finder app has got you covered!
 
Sports Bar Finder uses GPS to map sports bars and other establishments that subscribe to DIRECTV programming.
 
We’ve partnered with YELP to provide photos, star ratings, hours of operation and customer comments. You can filter results to find locations that have access to your desired game, team or sport—no matter which channel they are on. Create “favorites” so the locations and details of preferred sports bars & restaurants are always just a click away. Check out live scoring in-app to stay connected to all your favorite sports & teams!
 
Sports Bar Finder has your sports viewing at the best establishments covered nationwide! Filters are based off sports programming. DIRECTV does not guarantee any location will show a specific sporting event.               
                                 
You must be 21 or older to use this application. By downloading, you are verifying that you are over the U.S. legal drinking age of 21 years old.

## Review summary

The app has a promising idea to help fans find sports bars by package (e.g., Sunday Ticket) and even uses Yelp, but users report frequent instability, data inaccuracies, login problems, and missing filters, especially after iOS 17 updates. This makes it unreliable despite its potential.

### Pros

- Shows which sports packages bars carry (e.g., DirecTV, Sunday Ticket) and includes package info in profiles.
- Helps find bars that show Sunday Ticket and lets users watch games away from home.
- Yelp integration in profiles aids reading reviews and comparing venues.

### Cons

- Stability and crashes are pervasive, including app not opening and location services crashes, especially on iOS 17.
- Data accuracy is a major problem: listings are outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate about what packages bars actually carry.
- Login and account issues are common: favorites disappear, login failures, and password resets not delivering emails.
- Missing essential filters (notably Sunday Ticket) and clunky search/filter tools.
- Post-update regressions: functionality deteriorates after updates and many users prefer older versions.
