More pretty than useful... Seriously glitchy - scrolls at epilepsy-inducing speeds when you had no intention of scrolling. Has none of the intuitive functionality of previous apps... Couldn't get radio to work at all, and that's usually one of my favourite features. What's going on IBM? What happened to the slick clever apps of the past?? Bring 'em back in time for Wimbledon please!!

I am unimpressed with this app. This is the worst grandslam app, I have come across. What I am disappointed about is how it doesn't utilize "the selected favorite players" efficiently like the other apps. Your app should allow me to view schedules and player draws for the players I select as my favorite players. Need to make use of that in the future, or else this app won't be user friendly.

2017 Update: Player country is now shown in draws and player alerts have been restored. Display of draws is more efficient, thank you! Other issues with the 2015 version remain. Basic navigation across the app is missing. E.g. when looking at live scores or draws, there are no links to player bios. I.e. it should always be possible to click/tap on a player's name in a draw or a score card and this navigates to their bio. Then in the player's bio one should be able to see a summary of their tournament matches so far. This should have a link to the stats for that match. Back-and-forth across the app. This would improve the usefulness of the app immensely for fans. Finally, a long-time issue: can not sort/find players by country. IBM, please, please fix these issues and add the same features to the other three apps as well. Thanks.

Every year it's the same issues! Notifications dont work, app freezes, live scores are hardly ever live, data and battery hungry app. There will be updates upon updates and nothing will be resolved. You cant even be bothered to respond to some of the issues that are raised continuously. This is the worst slam app which is a shame but at least this year the app actually opens!

Pretty weak, to be honest, given how many years you have had to refine this. Rubbish highlights videos, stats screen instability, delayed scores, unreliable alerts, inferior to standard atp app. I suggest involving some actual tennis fans in design and testing and just get it right once and for all.

The app player notification system needs improvements. New player notifications should really replace old ones instead of letting them pile up on the device notification list. After a day, I see a bunch of redundant notifications like "x and y players are warming up", "x and y match started", "x leads y", "y leads x", "x defeated y". That's pretty confusing given the many matches that take place each day. All I wanted to see is the most recent notification available with the up-to-date status of each match when I check my device and not having to dig through tens of notifications to check what is the status of each match.
