## Review summary

Users broadly value the NHL app for its core features (play-by-play, schedules, live broadcasts, and team customization), but recurring problems significantly affect the experience. The most common complaints are playback reliability on Apple TV, notification mismanagement, and intrusive ads/gambling content. Additional issues include a cluttered UI, roster loading problems, and instability after updates. Addressing playback reliability, improved notification controls, and a cleaner ad/UX approach would likely improve overall satisfaction.

### Pros

- Play-by-play is a standout feature and highly valued by users.
- User-friendly design with easy access to schedules and the ability to set a favorite team for quick access.
- Comprehensive feature set including schedules, stats, points, live broadcasts, and ticketing functionality.

### Cons

- Playback issues, especially on Apple TV: audio dropouts, videos starting at the end, stuck progress bars, and occasional video playback failures after updates.
- Notification issues: missing alerts, poor filtering, and push notification settings that misbehave or cause unwanted updates.
- Intrusive ads and gambling content: banner ads and odds visible in the app, with toggles that default to on and are hard to hide.
- UI/UX concerns: cluttered or confusing navigation and some pages that don’t load properly (e.g., roster pages).
- Stability issues after updates: some updates prevent the app from opening or playing video.
