The Masters Tournament App Reviews

An absolute essential Masters companion.

Streaming and UI are great, but bad accelerometer code means that to watch full screen I have to hold my phone at an awkward angle.

When it comes to the Masters, I have come to expect a wonderful app experience based on previous years. I have been very disappointed this year. No iPhone X full screen support? Not great. Can’t watch Spieth, the leader play but can see an amateurs every shot? Mind boggling. Why can’t I watch a replay of the first round the evening when it finishes? Doesn’t that seem like an appropriate time, since people work during the week? Update: More bugs. I touched Mickelson’s name and instead of his score card I got all 4 of his to show at once one on top of the other. Could not close it and had to restart. Why is there a bar on iPhone X when I play video, even in landscape? Why is there 4K coverage of 15&16 but only for direct tv? The 4K Apple TV supports Dolby vision and HDR10.

Only negative is picture is sideways on tv screen when using Apple TV.

The only criticism is have for the app is the Leaderboard page: why have an X button to collapse a players scorecard when tapping anywhere else on it collapses it? I’ve inadvertently collapsed the scorecard while trying to view a players previous round just about every time. Make the scorecard a dead tap, and just use the X to collapse it.

Does not produce full screen which is highly disappointing when screen mirroring to a flat panel TV.

Works perfectly on my iPhone and has just tons of information. I watched the round on Saturday without one hiccup or glitch. Perfect!

Stopped working. Displays a constant “no connection” message on my iPhone when other apps have no problem.

You can stream the Masters and the UX and UI are beautifully designed. Wonderful app!

Will not work unless on WiFi, so it’s basically useless since if I’m near WiFi, I’m near a TV. Even if I have a strong signal it doesn’t work. Even when I do connect to WiFi, the app freezes on the No Connection screen and I have to force close it and reopen it for it to work. Not good enough for prime time. Go back and try again. Didn’t much expect the elite class to get it anyway, but I was suckered in.

I look forward every year to the time I can just be consumed by this tournament. Unfortunately I had to work out of town through out it all. This app always keeps me up to date and even provides video coverage. This I have deleted and downloaded the app 4 times, it will not update, it will not play videos, nor will it show any leaderboard past Friday. Master you are the standard for class and the standard for quality. You missed big time with whatever update you did for this years app. So reluctantly I had to give you this review.....

从现在玩的来看还不错，简单易呐懂，就是声音键找不到

First class just like everything at the Masters!

I love this app because it is very simple to use. It is so affective in terms of opening stay in touch with what’s going on is golf term it. The featured group and amen corner and 15 and 16 help to be able to watch your favorite players. Well I’m watching it on television.

Latest update is awesome. Tracking my favs who aren’t being shown on tv very much is the best. Also love watching live while away from the tv. Great app. Now...if it would just get me some tickets it’d be perfect! 😄

What more could you want? This app, like the tournament, exudes excellence. Bravo.

This App is great. The featured groups are amazing too. Having Tiger and Phil each day featured was the best. Thats what we want to see. I legitimately watched every Tiger Woods shot and I loved it. ***** and I would rate more, but 5 is maximum!

The 2018 Masters app is poorly designed. I have an iPhone 7 Plus, and cannot stream this to my TV and get fullscreen. Very disappointed.

I used this app last year, 2017 and loved it. I used it this year, 2018 to watch the featured groups on Thursday. I was not able to get it to work on my iPhone or iPad or desktop computer on Friday. Today is Saturday and it will not work. This is very disappointing since you can’t get a TV telecast until 3:00. The biggest golf tournament of the year and this is what we get.....

Was great for streaming until Saturday. Upon opening the live streaming option on Saturday the app freezes on the opening screen. Expect better from a Masters branded product/service.

Loved this app last year, when I could stream to my AppleTV. This version won’t let that happen. Be prepared to stare at a small screen when downloading this app. Not to mention fighting with the auto-rotate. Please fix this before Sunday.

Astoundingly perfect way to watch, review, binge, and enjoy the best golf tournament.

When you mirror your iPhone screen to your Apple TV the fullscreen image is sideways! This is a horrible user experience.

This new design is amazing. The best app, period.

Can’t lay device flat in landscape mode.

Whyy

I love this app because I can see recaps of good shots I loved and everything. But the only problem I had was i could not scroll through the video with the little box scroller so I can’t rewind or forward.

Best live sports golf app I’ve seen, because of the Follow a Featured Group option. I was able to see and/or listen to Tiger Woods, Leishman, & Fleetwood play Live on Thursday while getting work done. Davis Love IIIs commentary was spot on because of his course knowledge. Impressive app! An app worthy of The Master’s name.

Nifty and well-done app. Unfortunately, the 2018 version (at least as of 10.0.1049 released April 4) has screen mirroring broken. When the iPhone 6 plus is oriented to landscape to watch a video, the mirroring device (e.g. TV) displays the action rotated 90° from reality, and shrunk so that the long dimension of the video fits the vertical dimension of the TV.

This is a fantastic app, don’t get me wrong. Great video stream and content, amazing! But!!!! Please just fix one thing before the weekend with the video is the angle that it will switch to portrait mode is too high still. I want to be able to lay my phone flat horizontal and still be in video landscape view but it doesn’t do that.

This is the best golf app ever. All the info you want in a easy user interface. Other tournaments should consider a similar app.

I rated the app one star because I can't get it it to rotate video properly to landscape when using iPhone mirroring on an apple tv. Also, the feedback function doesn't work so that makes it hard to get help.

This is a very well thought out app for the Apple TV platform. All the stats videos everything within easy reach. Well done!

The developers have known for years what they’ve been doing with this app - building in perfectly all the rich ways to enjoy content, which by the way changes and improves year to year. One recommendation - in slideshow of photos, when you are looking at the photo in landscape mode (to see the full photo) - you should be able to swipe or tap left or right to get to the new photo. Keep up the good work, folks. Truly a remarkable feat - this is the gold standard of apps. Not getting much done at work until this weekend is over...

Love this app so much!!!! Commercial free and it’s like your at the course. I run it from my iPad thru my Apple TV on my big screen and it’s flawless HD quality from early morning so I can enjoy as much of the masters as possible before network coverage. Awesome job here guys thanks a million

Love this app! Not a better sporting event app - it’s been awesome since they started it and it continues to get better every year. There isn’t a more accessible event out there for fans. An amazing app for one of the greatest events in all sports!

When it comes to the Masters, I have come to expect a wonderful app experience based on previous years. I have been very disappointed this year. No iPhone X full screen support? Not great. Can’t watch Spieth, the leader play but can see an amateurs every shot? Mind boggling. Why can’t I watch a replay of the first round the evening when it finishes? Doesn’t that seem like an appropriate time, since people work during the week?

Why is Fred couples, Li, and an amateur a featured group????

The horizontal orientation needs to be fixed. The live view is way too sensitive to vertical view and it’s nearly impossible to keep a horizontal view.

Not only the best sports app but 1 of the best apps on the App Store . Tons of features, seamless 4K video quality . ANGC is king of the app game as well as the golf game

When going to landscape mode, the video just goes up north to south on the television, still in portrait mode. Need to fix.

Not just one of the best golf apps, but one of the best sports apps out there. Smooth navigation. No bugs. Fantastic features that allow you to immerse yourself in Augusta National.

piece of **** IBM, I hate it when apps don’t utilize Chromecast delete. click.

Nothing quite like the Masters and this app brings it to you with the class you would expect.

This app was the best until this year. Picture in picture is buggy. Auto rotate is way too sensitive. Playback slider works intermittently. Having to kill and restart when can collapse video.

That app does not work on Apple TV this year. The tv pic goes sideways or top to bottom when you turn the phone. This is bad!

Downloaded the app today. So far so good but!!! No full screen for my iPhone X.

I’m not sure I have ever reviewed an app but I just wanted to thank you for this amazing app. There is so much to love...live video which is crystal clear on my AppleTV and IPhone, ability to follow favorite players, easy access leaderboard, shot trackers, alerts about favorite players...I could go on and on. Not sure there is a better way to watch the Masters action. Thank you!!!

When mirroring to Apple TV, it won’t rotate off vertical. Very annoying.

There’s a glitch where it won’t store favorites properly in this version, otherwise an app I look forward to using.

This year no coverage other than crap radio with ads

App opens but there’s nothing there.

First off this app is amazing. By far best golf app out there. But when you try to go landscape, if your phone isn’t almost exactly vertical, it switches back to portrait orientation. Needs work but still better than PGA Tour app.

I love this app, and the annual updates continue to make it better and better.

When mirroring my phone to Apple TV the image is vertical and not horizontal mirroring the full image I see on my phone. Tried my IPAD as well, IPAD has the image horizontal but did not give a full view on Apple TV either. Had to expand the view on my tv itself to get s full picture view .

They have coded the app so it will Not show a full picture on the TV. It will only show landscape as a portrait so all video is unwatchable unless on a mobile device.

Title says it all

Overall love the app, but the screen does rotate on mirroring to Apple TV. Looks like there were a few other posts on this as well, but want to bring it up again - would love to watch it on the big screen!

The app works great on my phone. As others have said, switching to landscape doesn’t work properly. I want to use AirPlay to watch on the big screen but the picture is sideways!!!! Please fix ASAP

AirPlay works fine on the iPad version but noticeably missing from the iPhone app. Would prefer it on the iPhone do I could watch additionally on my iPad.

My older iPad will not be watching this weekend. iOS 10 and higher. Like membership, app has its exclusivity as well.

I download this app each year for the Tournament. The experience never wavers from excellence. Exclusive feeling behind the scenes content paired with a live stream of some of the course’s most popular holes. Highly recommend! Aside from the live streaming, my favorite capability is being able to track your favorite golfers and/or those you are most interested in. A must have app for Master’s fans.

This is how you properly run a sports streaming app . So well organized. If I was the nba, nfl, fifa, I would be reaching out to whoever developed the app and see what they could do for my league!

This app is great except if you want to use airplay to cast it to your TV it will not go to landscape mode. It’s an issue with the app because every other app does landscape mode. Seems like the masters folks blocked you from streaming directly from the website on your phone also because it will never load.

Lots of new features.

Works well, simple and gets the job done

After starting the video and rotating the phone to landscape, the information at the top of my phone(service bars, time, battery, etc) can still be seen over the video.

Tried to login via social to try the my moments. Ux flow needs some love. Finally signed up for an account after trying a few times with Facebook and nothing seemed to work or tell me why. Decided to do a manual registration and finished but it just took me back to the form. Tried again said I had an account now. Got tired of trying and backed out. Some how I was logged in when I got back to the home acreen. Hope you get that worked out. Great event. Amazing tech behind my moments. Hope the world gets to use it.

I love all of the content and quality of the app, but one of the highlights of the app in prior years was to stream over airplay on Apple TV. Unfortunately, the picture displays completely sideways on Apple TV with the 2018 Masters App. If this is fixed, it is a 5 star app.

Almost like being there with the video, so much info too

Everything The Masters does is first class. The app is no exception. No sporting event in the world even comes close.

2018 version does not properly rotate to Landscape. The picture rotates, but the Volume display does not. To see what I mean, turn a video to Landscape and then use the buttons on the side of the iPhone to increase or decrease volume. This issue causes Airplay mirror to not work properly.

It’s ridiculous that in 2019 that the developers have not built in a casting option to cast to your tv... fix this now!!!

Watched Sergio win a couple years ago on this app on my iPhone while I was at Disney World using the Magic Kingdom public WiFi. Couldn’t be happier with this app over the years — it’s this and my PC as the only way I watch The Masters anymore. Recommend always watching live though, don’t try to start from a prior point where you left off if you get interrupted...Although they could always fix the issue with the next update. Happy Masters Week!

The video player keeps skipping backwards making it very frustrating to watch the Par 3 contest live.

It would have been great if golf fans could see the ladies scores the final round at Augusta National as opposed to the first round at Champions Retreat.

Wonderful app for masters followers

Check your dates on this. Totally off.

I don’t often leave reviews, but I have to give a huge shout out to the developers and visionaries behind the creation of this app. The layout, graphics, and presentation of all the Masters content is exceptionally well done. Within is a perfect balance of coverage and interviews with players, as well as wonderful articles and a podcast that sums up the allure of Augusta. And of course, the HD video coverage of the tournament, par 3 contest, and driving range. I also love the live leaderboard (it looks just like the real one when you turn your iPad sideways). I think some of the content could be organized a bit better to be a little easier to access, but this is a near perfect app. Thank you!

Video player is crap on the iphone. I missed the live broadcast because I was playing golf and purposefully stayed away from the news so I wouldn’t know who won. Started watching the broadcast replay on my computer but didn’t have time to finish. Figured I could watch the last 4 holes on my iphone, so I noted the time I had gotten to in the broadcast so I could fast forward to that spot using the slider bar on the video player. Time slider on the video player in the iphone app was incredibly unresponsive (I have a very fast internet connection that was working perfectly as was everything else on my iphone). As I tried to carefully move the slider to the point I left off, it repeatedly played from the beginning of the broadcast. Then suddenly, without warning, it inexplicably jumped to near the end as Patrick Reed signed his card, giving away the fact the he won the tournament!! Needless to say I was very disappointed to have the ending ruined by the very app I was relying on to enjoy the end of the tournament! Now I will have to wait another year to enjoy my favorite tournament. Rest assured, I will not be using this app to watch The Masters in the future.

Great design and excellent features!

Best Sports app out there! Beautiful update. Can’t wait for the Tournament to begin.

Where is the Apple TV 4K and HDR support? ANGC please insure the live streams are full 4K and HDR when delivered to the Apple TV 4K. The design of the app looks well done, but the beauty of ANGC should be via streaming without the complex requirements of a Directv Genie Satellite setup. Apple TV 4K has the hardware please deliever the 4K streams to the Patrons!!!

Masters Week 2018 starts in less than 6 days, and the app is still stuck on 2017. C’mon, man. You guys used to set the standard. What happened??

Great app of course. But those with an iPhone X are left with huge black borders. It’s been months since the release. Sad to see no update.

Really like the updated version for 2017. Can watch live coverage in my office on iPhone or anywhere even when not being broadcast on any network. Tapper you want to follow and you can get updates sent to you. If you've ever been to Augusta national this is the closest thing to actually being there again.

Is there going to be an update for 2018?

Great for whenever I’m in school and keeping up with the tournament and get to go the next day.

Been going to this app for many years. Though I don’t follow th pga I do follow the annual awarding of the green jacket. Looking forward to the 2018 update. Believe masters starts on Easter Week but not sure. Developers, hope you have more surprises for golf pros and fans alike

PGA Tour should look closely at this app!

This app is how I watch the tournament if I'm not there.
