I couldn't help but notice that most of the 5 star ratings were for older versions, and most of the newest reviews were 1 star. I didn't have the older version that everyone seems to think was better, but if my 1 star rating can help bring back the older version that wasn't basically the NHL app with different colors, then I will do my part.
Nhl do you want fans or not. Team owners speak up the NHL ruined a good thing for us loyal fans. Oh my god they are stupid. Guess what no team website or app. Fans are going to miss watching games and lose interest. Cant find game schedule or team news easily, viewers decline, revenue declines. Your always trying to increase viewers, not with a move like this.
It was great pre update, no this app is useless and not what I originally intended, not to mention the single greatest part about this app was the JLA horn. I am deleting this app, but never the Red Wings from my heart (and phone). Back to the ESPN app. 10/2/2016
I loved this app. Like all true fans. If I gave 2 s***s about other team news I would have downloaded an nhl app or went to TSN. Then went to update and BOOM! Hijacked by the nhl. Guess I can free up space on my phone for mlive maybe. DELETE
After the update, it's not even an app anymore. When I could open it, it would just send me to the NHL app. Now I can't even open it. I loved this app sooo much because it gave me everything Red Wings that I needed and wanted. Now it's useless. Unfortunately I'm deleting this app now. Today is a sad day.
So not only does it not load easily but the NHL has entirely removed my one joy... the goal sirens from the Joe. This thing is garbage and serves as nothing more than bait for NHL streaming services now.
Even with the app sent to get all goal, end of period, and final score notifications I miss hard the goals and the final score. The new update is terrible and if it can be separated from the NHL app like it was, maybe I'd give it more stars. It's worthless for someone who lives where they can't watch their take am on TV and rely on the app for game updates.
ABSOLUTE BULLCHIT!!! If I wanted the NHL app, I would have downloaded it. I only want access to the team that I follow which is the Detroit Red Wings. I don't think I should have to go through the NHL app which has all the other stuff I don't want. Just like everything else in this world, you have taken a perfectly good product and turned it into something that is controlled by a bigger media device!
Would rate it negative stars, if I could. This was a very bad move by the NHL. It seems like all of the team apps have been hijacked by the NHL app. Bruins & Sharks app were DESTROYED too. All now default to the underwhelming NHL app. They went from GREAT to JUNK in one simple update. We'll be uninstalling this & NHL app till they give us back our old apps.
The new app launches the NHL app. Last year the Redwings app was easy to navigate. Now you have the NHL site not the Redwings site. This is a giant leap backwards. Hard to navagate, have to go through the BS of Nava gating through the other games and teams. Love the Wings but i am deleting this waste of an app.
Absolute hot garbage of an app. I didn't even download it because I read the other reviews and they were so negative I couldn't help but get irritated and write my own angry review. HOW DARE THEY remove the horn tho. Oh well, f the NHL anyway it's all a money grab at the end of the day. Can't watch half the games online because you'll be blacked out anyway.. so dumb
I hate the NHL app. I want the "hey hey hockeytown" at the start of a game and the JLA horn on goals. I want to easily see Red Wings info, not league-wide. This app was nearly perfect. Now, it's garbage. Look at how the ratings have changed since your "upgrade" and bring back the app we all loved!
Was a great well organized app when was for just the Redwings. Now that the NHL has sold out to MLB tv first Web based app was ruined now the mobile app is too. Is poorly organized hard to find things notifications are generic; loved goal horn on the old app for a Detroit goal. Going to delete and go elsewhere for Redwings information
Biggest disappointment is losing the notifications when game starts, period start and ends and the sound of the famous horn when the Wings score! The new update looks nice but it doesn't give the fans what it used to. Please fix whatever needs to be done- bc I feel like NOW it's broken...
Its a free app, didnt have any expectation to this, but, even with no expectation i get let down. Loved the Hey Hey Hockeytown for a game start alert and the famous goal horn used at jla to sound off from a detroit goal. Having the widget scorebaord helped me with dates and times of the next game and for the whole season. That has all been ruined now. A complete waste of an update. Not only is this teams app ruined but all 30 teams apps are now ruined.
I loved this app prior to being forced into using the NHL app. The NHL app crashes repeatedly. This week my phone informed me I had 17 issues with the app. It takes up far more space then necessary. Consiatsntly drains my power, and triggers power drain alerts on my phone.
If I wanted the NHL app I would have downloaded that. This "update" is terrible; they even removed the sound of the horn for when goals are scored! The other app was so well done, why in a million years would you change it? The old app was JLA, and this app is a hot n ready mess.
if I wanted the NHL app I would have got it. Not cool and I hate the new format
Horrid! DRW used to have an awesome app but apparently had to fall under the NHL's jacked up app format, so now, feel free to download this app, but you can't even get into it without also downloading the NHL app. I don't want the NHL app, I don't want info on all teams, I just want the locally written latest on MY team. Utter frustration!
If I wanted to use the NHL app on a frequent basis i would have. The old app was useful and showed Redwings only content. Also, with the App update/grade there is no more scoreboard widget.....Again....I have the NHL for the OTHER games.
This was a great app. Five stars great, in fact. The key word is "was." I got all Red Wings news and scores without needing to root through news and scores of other teams. Just straight Red Wings. With this latest update, I get an all NHL app. This app was uninstalled. Monumental failure.
The NHL had to go and screw up a good thing. They already have an app.-why mess with something that wasn't broken don't they squeeze enough money from the Red Wings fans and organization I hate the update. Will probably uninstall
10/1/16. Thanks for selling out. If I wanted to use the NHL app, then I would use the NHL app. I liked the Red Wings app because it was strictly Red Wings. I liked the notification tones and the widget. I don't like navigating the NHL app and all the other garbage I get instead of just Red Wings. Thanks, but no thanks.
Notifications don't work anymore, horn or game starts. Wake up nhl all of these reviews are bad. Put it back.
The Red Wings app used to be awesome. The NHL app is awful to say the least. Always notifying me about other teams, even though I didn't select them. Also, the app has used over 500mb of data within a week. Mind you, my phone is on wifi 80% of my day. I will be uninstalling it.
Like everyone else, I hate that the awesome Red Wings app is now a glorified shortcut to the NHL app. No more awesome notification sounds and I need to use the terrible NHL app. I'd give this 0 stars if I could.
Horrible update... I liked the old app and hate this one. I see that I'm not the only one that feels this way.
This app was wonderful as a stand-alone app. It had everything I needed, and was clean and easy to use. Now it's just a link to the NHL app, which is crap. I don't get the notifications I want, info is hard to find and mostly unhelpful, and I miss the Red Wings sound effects from the stand-alone app.
Loved the old app, only Red Wings updates. The NHL takeover is terrible. I really don't care that Edmonton's 4th line center had grilled cheese for breakfast. Also, the got rid of the horn sound from the Joe. Please bring back the old app!
