WatchESPN brings ESPN to users' mobile devices. The app itself is quite simple to set up, only requiring a valid account through a cable provider. From there, users have access to the suite of ESPN programming that they want to watch. This app is very useful when it works, offering access to watch games and programming across the country, not just the programming that happens to be being shown on only ESPN and ESPN 2 like you might find on a lot of cable broadcasts. One drawback is that there are sometimes significant connectivity issues, and the picture quality and frame rate can really lag, detracting a lot from the experience. When you factor in that you may be using a significant amount of data when not connected to a WiFi signal, oftentimes this makes using the app more trouble than it is worth.

When functional however, the app is very useful. One of the most common reasons to use it would be if there is a game you want to watch on the network but you are simply not near a TV at the time. With this app, you can see what is going on from anywhere. The interface is modern, allowing you to easily access both live content as well as recorded content. The ability to access recorded content is definitely useful for someone who wants to relive the action of a game or see interesting features about their favorite teams and players. Overall, the app is definitely worth checking out, since it allows you to access the famous sports network from anywhere.
