Olympics: Live Sports & News 4+

Bugs on “Notices”

Tried to check “all notices” but coding on page is screwy… just reads “other notices” then “label. Label. Label. Label”. needs a look. Also, on the “let the games begin” notice (accessed as a link under the notice re positive covid cases” there is a separate section for each athlete to watch EXCEPT for GBs Adam Peaty, whose profile is included under the header for Caeleb Dressel of the USA, and GBs Laura and Jason Kenny, who are listed together despite the text saying they are “both record breakers in their own right”!! The headlines a bit lower also have some scripting problems and read “<a href=“https://….. >” etc. ALSO (unrelated to other comments) - agree with other poster re it being useful to reflect local time for scheduling of events so we can more easily watch. And would be great if there was some way of bookmarking or tagging favourite events/bouts so as not to miss particular athletes or events/heats. ALSO how does the “favourites “ function work? I expected to be able to access details of when and what would be taking place for each sport. But that section of the app is not populated. Is it a results-only section?

Good app

I have used the Olympics for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics the Winter Olympics in 2022 and now the Olympics in Paris this is a good app because it gives you up to date scores and what is going on around the city and it gives you accurate times what the events are happening and the tv channels we can whatch all of the best olympic and Paralympic events it also gives you a medal table for you to keep track and there is also lots of interesting videos if you make a free account on the Olympic games

How was this approved for use?

The app under-delivers spectacularly. The links are not working or non-existent, not sure if that’s by accident or design. For example, viewing the schedules I can see that the Men’s Single Sculls Heat 1 has already finished but when I select it, no results are shown? Why, where are the results? If viewing the country page, there are interesting country facts like the flagbearer, or the anthem and it’s composer etc. But there is no mention of the athletes on that page? You have to go back from the country pages to find the athletes page and then start filtering. So much simpler if there is a direct link from the country page. It is IMPOSSIBLE to view which athletes are competing in which heats, and equally, to see the results after the events. There is no option to “favourite” events so that it’s easy to find the ones you really want to watch. Considering there has been an extra year to get ready for this event, it’s astounding that the app is so incredibly bad. For an event on the global stage, whoever approved this app for use should be ashamed.
