Utah Jazz

I’m a little obsessed with the Jazz. I love knowing the latest about the team, and this app does a great job showing me everything I want. One of the best features is the radio feature. Right from the app you can listen to the game’s radio broadcast with David Locke and Ron Boone. This is perfect if you’re working and can’t turn on the TV. It’s totally free to listen and always a pleasure to hear from the two hosts of the broadcast. I like that this app shows the live box score, news articles, and game summaries. From the app you can also access Jazz Plus online. It’d be nice if Jazz+ was integrated into the app itself, but a link to Jazz+ online is fine. My one gripe is that sometimes the app will spoil the ending of a game when I’m watching. The broadcast tends to be behind, so sometimes the final score pops up on my phone when there’s still 30 seconds left to play. This is especially bad if I’m watching on my phone. Not sure how one would fix this issue, though. Overall good app.

I just cannot stand the fingernails on a blackboard voice of Holly Rowe, the lousy tv analyst who never has anything worthwhile to say. Therefore, when she’s working the Jazz games, I mute my tv and use the radio button on the Jazz app, where I can enjoy David Locke and Ron Boone. But sometimes, the radio doesn’t work at all, and sometimes, like the last broadcast on MLK day, 2023, the radio broadcast would just quit. I could restart it, but it would quit again, for no apparent reason. This was happening on all of my Apple devices. Please fix this…don’t make me listen to the vacuous, horrid Holly! Other than this, the Jazz app is fantastic for looking at stats, player info, etc.

I liked the feature to be able to order food from the app and there are some neat ideas with the app. But it just lacks the polish of a really well-done app. It’s essentially just a wrapper around a bunch of web views, so it might as well just be accessible via a mobile website rather than requiring it to take up space on my phone (other than things like listening to the radio broadcast). It was annoying that several screens took a long time to load. Many of them never did. If it were a native app, it would be significantly faster. I would love to dedicate a really nice, polished app to the Utah Jazz, but this doesn’t quite do it for me. It would also be nice to be able to search for specific food items instead of having to go to each restaurant to look at their menu.
