User Reviews

Users generally like Michigan Sports Xtra for centralized Michigan sports coverage and ease of use, especially for out-of-state fans. However, recurring issues—performance crashes, paywall/content access failures, intrusive ads, notification misconfigurations, and section-load errors—diminish the experience and lead some to seek refunds or alternatives.

Pros

All-in-one source for Michigan/Detroit sports news, convenient for fans living outside Michigan.
Easy to use and well-designed interface.
Keeps you informed about Michigan sports and teams you care about.

Cons

Frequent performance issues including crashes, slow loading, and loading errors.
Content access and billing problems: paywall gating, blue box blocking subscriber content, and restore-purchase issues.
Ads and clickbait introduced after updates degrade the experience of a paid app.
Notification management problems: incorrect or unwanted alerts and inability to customize for specific teams.
Inconsistent reliability when navigating sections (errors when opening team articles) and occasional missing stories.

Recent reviews

Left Detroit almost 40 years ago ,but, have a passion for the home teams. This app delivered for me for many years! However, the recent update and prominent posting of ads and click bait is a disgrace for a paid app. Fingers crossed this gets fixed with the focus on user experience
