The official WNBA app delivers real-time scores, personalized updates, and extensive league coverage. While streaming requires League Pass subscription, the app serves as a comprehensive hub for dedicated women's basketball fans.

Detailed Review

The WNBA: Live Games & Scores app, developed by the NBA organization, serves as the official digital platform for Women's National Basketball Association content. Positioned as the primary destination for women's basketball enthusiasts, the application consolidates live game data, statistical analysis, and league news into a single mobile experience. With a 3.44-star rating on iOS, the app aims to provide comprehensive coverage while navigating the complexities of sports media rights and subscription models. The application's core functionality centers around real-time game tracking and personalized content delivery. Users receive live score updates, detailed statistical breakdowns, and up-to-date standings across the entire league. The schedule feature includes projected starters, injury reports, and contextual storylines that enhance game preparation and viewing. While the app description mentions in-app highlights, full game streaming remains locked behind the WNBA League Pass subscription service, creating a tiered access system that has drawn mixed user reactions. From an interface perspective, the app employs a clean, navigation-forward design that prioritizes accessibility to live game data. However, user reports indicate sensitivity issues with screen rotation functionality, particularly when devices are placed on flat surfaces. The application demonstrates strong performance in delivering real-time updates and statistical information, though the experience varies significantly between free users and League Pass subscribers. Real-world usage patterns show heavy engagement during game hours, with users frequently checking score updates and statistical feeds throughout matches. User feedback trends reveal consistent appreciation for the app's comprehensive coverage alongside recurring concerns about subscription requirements. Multiple five-star reviews from June 2025, including dxnadc (June 1) and yellowrohbeat (June 24), praise the app's content quality while noting frustration with limited streaming access without League Pass. Taco zoo (June 17) specifically highlights the superior game availability and same-day recording posting compared to other sports apps. These positive assessments are tempered by comments about pricing sensitivity and technical issues with screen orientation controls. The application demonstrates significant strengths in content depth and real-time data delivery but faces challenges regarding accessibility and technical refinement. Its primary value emerges as an information hub rather than a comprehensive viewing platform, with the League Pass requirement creating a notable barrier to full functionality. The ideal use case involves statistics-focused fans who prioritize game data over live viewing, while dedicated viewers seeking complete game access must budget for the additional subscription cost.

If you are a wnba fan this is the app, but the only problem is that the screen is sensitive when I lay my phone flat the screen rotates when I don’t want it to. Also if you don’t have league pass you won’t be able to watch games and I don’t have league pass but I love that if you enable the live activity you can see the score,quarters,halftime,and the stats of the game or players. Great app to watch sports If you are a wnba fan this is the app, but the only problem is that the screen is sensitive when I lay my phone flat the screen rotates when I don’t want it to.

Just started getting into the WNBA last year and use this app on iPad and iPhone, but this season the content in the app took it to the next level. Definitely seen that yall have been investing on improving the app and stuff coming from it, keep it up Improvements this year Just started getting into the WNBA last year and use this app on iPad and iPhone, but this season the content in the app took it to the next level.

I love this app in general although despite that without the league pass, you wouldn’t be able to watch any games live whether its a recap or not. good app I love this app in general although despite that without the league pass, you wouldn’t be able to watch any games live whether its a recap or not.

Honestly I have had just about every app to watch sports you can think of and this one is the best. It’s the only app that with league pass lets you watch every single game. If the game is on a network channel or you miss a game the recording is posted SAME DAY. I love that there are like no commercials and instead you get highlights, wnba stories, or even live happenings at the game. It’s literally awesome. My one recommendation that the app is missing is split screen to watch multiple games at the same time. Please add split screen since so many games are at the same time. Other than that the app is great and they have an app on Amazon TV!
