BlackBear TV 4+

Do not pay for this service. It is inconsistent, glitchy and unreliable. Their customer service is defensive and feels the service is excellent. They clearly don’t have kids that play.

Black Bear Inc is the worst thing for youth sports. They are literally nickel and diming every parent involved and youth hockey and this app is next level theft!!!! The only positive is that the video quality is better than Live Barn but that positive cannot out weigh the negatives. Playback constantly freezes. The lag is almost a full period and that’s not an exaggeration. My wife turned the game on and it was warmups for her yet there were less than 3 minutes in the 1st period. I made the teams in our organization favorites and it doesn’t even define the different teams with age group or tier next to them. So I have to toggle between each team just to find the right one. On LiveBarn all you had to do was tap an icon and you recorded a 30 second clip. On Black Bear TV you need to be a nuclear physicist to figure out how to download the clip🙄 You can’t zoom in on the play. If I move my phone the slightest towards flat I lose widescreen mode and sometimes even need to exit the stream and restart. I can’t believe we had to pay $300 for this terrible app while you threaten to remove people from your rinks if they record clips or even the full game!!! This service is greed times 1,000,000. You should be giving us all refunds for this crap

For the sake of the kids that use this app, I will refrain from using extreme langue, however my opinions are quite the opposite. This app is cumbersome and poorly designed. I intend on watching practices and games. Highlighting practices. There’s almost a 4:1 ratio of those in a week. This organization is completely pathetic. I absolutely hate it all. And then that on top of individual videos not being able to be taken is idiocracy. As Clanko Media points out, this is an entire different type of media mentality for games or small clips. Banning this essentially bans players from having good looking highlight tapes which is a huge way that people can get scouted from. Along with this, your absence of Pano mode, ability to zoom, play back feature, and breakup of the film itself is absolutely horrendous. You need to readjust this all as well as lowering the prices before anyone should ever consider buying this product.
