Watch TNT for Pc

I use this app for movies and tv show occasionally but mainly for streaming the NBA games. It doesn’t matter if I’m on Wi-FI (I get 200Mbps download) or am on LTE, the live streaming of NBA games is simply horrible. I have to continually relaunch the frozen app. It gets stuck on the “Commercial Break in Progress” screen about 1/3 of the time. Almost every time it signs me out of my tv provider despite allowing it to use my TV provider through the TV app on my phone and by going into the TNT settings and signing in (and saying remember me). The video playback, when actually working, is glitchy. It jumps forward and then back 30 seconds randomly and and the video quality is extremely blurry and pixelated. I won’t even get into how other streaming services allow for much more functionality (rewind, pause, etc.) during live streaming. Lastly, it’s been two months now since the iPhone XS Max and XR came out and it is still showing the video on the smaller size screen with the black bars to either side. I have never had a good experience with this app. I am a software and app developer myself so I understand bugs, errors, etc. and want to give the developers the benefit of the doubt. That being said it has been the same experience now for about two years of me hoping and waiting but now I have to simply review what I’ve seen.

EDIT: I wrote the scathing review below last year. I got an email from the developer apologizing for my user experience, promising improvements. But this year the app is somehow worse!!! Now not only does it freeze constantly and play a 30 second commercial upon reboot (making you miss game action) but it just randomly rewinds by minutes. Seriously, this is THE WORST app I use. With all the resources TNT has, why the eff is their app this pathetically awful? I see the tnt app has a good rating. What?!?!?!?! I’ve found it to be the most buggy, least reliable, most frequently crashing app I use. As if the CONSTANT crashes weren’t bad enough, they play a 30 second commercial every time you have to reopen it. Which is doubly obnoxious when you’re watching the nba. I thought the problem might be my older iPad and Apple TV. Of course, I didn’t have this crashing problem with any other app. It was time so I upgraded. And STILL this is the buggiest, crashiest, most annoying app I use. Also, no Apple TV app makes me sign in more often. And the iPad version doesn’t have a volume control. It can’t just be me who has this app crash constantly. But they have a good score. I don’t get it. Hate. This. App.

I’ve read many reviews on this app before using and, while all apps have their shortcomings on one device or another, it works flawlessly on my IPad. The necessity for the extent of the commercials within ALL programs I have viewed to date is certainly contrary to one of the premises that individual video apps should be aspiring towards but, I suppose, the marketplace and it’s costs dictate such...don’t they? Or is this company simply trying to garner profit at every possible quarter without regard to building allegiances with their patron? The world of modern entertainment is rife with such profit vs duty to consumer questions. The company who finds, builds and delivers content withOUT the interruptions during the delivery/viewing will be the company who ultimately wins loyalty in their users. But surely the directors of such media stalwarts know that, right? Or is it simply about securing an ever increasing profitability and stock value? As I said, so many questions in simple delivery of something so simple these days...

I’ve been using the app for the past several weeks and have enjoyed it so far. Haven’t had any problems with streaming on my iPhone 6+ (I do have 300mb with 5G wifi). I agree with the repetitiveness of the same 6-7 commercials, but it would be worth it if I had access to the back catalogue of shows & seasons. Why would I be interested in watching The Last Ship, for example, if I cannot start at the first season? It is highly annoying to jump into the middle of a good series and not be able to start from the beginning season. TNT has invested too much into great writing and production of its series not to proudly put them all on display, cancelled series included. Please consider this, or at least disclose why they cannot be shown. It was the only reason I downloaded the app in the first place instead of streaming through my provider.
