Watching ESPN in the browser is a worse experience than ESPN’s app. I have the app on my phone for this. There are reasons to have apps on a phone. That said, it is infuriating that when I click an ESPN link on twitter, it opens in the ESPN app and not a web browser.
- scarface74 7y agoOften for video content, there isn’t a choice but to have the app on mobile. But for non video content, the app is usually worse. Also, I much rather go to the Youtube site on mobile than use the app.
- TylerE 7y agoDepends. The ESPN app is actually pretty shit. On my Smart TV it is a juddering, frame dropping mess. I actually get better streams by opening the ESPN site in Chrome, and casting the tab.
- scarface74 7y agoAll Smart TVs suck except the ones with integrated Roku.
- TylerE 7y agoIt’s not the TV. I stream 4k60 from YouTube quite happily.
- scarface74 7y agoIt’s the “smart” part that I was referring to. The Roku TV’s panels are just average.
- TylerE 7y agoIt's the "smart" part responsible for decoding the incoming bytestream.
