User Reviews

Grand Sumo is valued for delivering sumo match videos soon after airing, comprehensive stats, and English support, making it a key tool for fans, especially in the US. However, multiple users criticize the app for spoiling match outcomes before viewing, limited video quality and playback issues, excessive advertisements, technical problems like frequent bugs and regional restrictions, and missing features such as casting and match favoriting. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a primary legal resource for following sumo tournaments and past results in English.

Pros

Provides access to sumo match videos shortly after airing, enabling fans to watch bouts close to real time.
Includes detailed stats and past tournament results, helping users keep track of rikishi histories and bashos dating back years.
Offers English language support and is one of the few legal ways for US users to follow sumo with English stats and videos.
Easy to use with daily updated fresh information, considered a valuable resource for sumo fans, including use for podcasts.
Helpful for following current tournaments and special features covering wrestlers (rikishi).

Cons

App spoils match outcomes before viewing, showing winners prominently, which many users find frustrating and a major downside.
Videos have issues such as limited camera angles, abrupt zoom-ins, sometimes not playing correctly, and lacking features like multiple angles or replays.
Excessive and intrusive ads, especially after recent updates, disrupting user experience; paid subscription pricing considered high relative to content quality.
Technical problems including app crashes, failures to load beyond logo screen, and geographical restrictions on subscriptions (e.g., Google Play codes not redeemable outside US).
Lack of features like video casting (e.g., Chromecast support) and options to favorite matches or create playlists, limiting personalization and usability.
