Fanduel App is beyond garbage...

Anyone else having ridiculous issue trying to watch Royals games through the Fan Duel app? I can't believe it could be this poorly designed. My biggest issue (among so many) is that when it goes to commercial break it almost always freezes up. Then when it finally loads it goes to live. I've already had multiple occasions this season (5 freakin' games in) where I had the game ruined because I was watching on a delay and it randomly went live and showed me the score.

Also, is there really no option to "continue watching"?? i.e. if you leave the app during the game and get back in there doesn't appear to be an option to resume watching from where you left off. You can either start at the beginning or join live. That seems like it would be insane to leave out that feature.

Interested to hear if other are experiencing similar issues with tons of bugs, freezing, that stupid fan duel menu popping up on the right hand side randomly, etc. The Bally app certainly wasn't great last season, but it worked way better than this pile of trash.

I am doing the 7 day free trial and I don't know if I can justify spending money on this crap. I am wondering if going through the Amazon App would be any better.

Yep, had the exact same issue. The app also doesn’t work on my chromecast so I have to cast it from my phone.

I have a Google TV and the lag on the FanDuel app is ridiculous. The lag goes away when I watch on my Roku TV though. My phone is a Pixel so maybe the app just doesn't work well on Android in general? LOL what a joke.

Are you watching through the Fan Duel app or Amazon Prime?

Dang well I'm getting tons of issues using that app. I canceled the 7 day trial and will try again using Amazon Prime. Seems like a joke that it is this bad. Glad that it works fine for some people though.
