I paid and got nothing from them a couple of years ago. People here have been disappointed for several years. Unsure if they have a free trial. Not eager to send them any money after getting burned last time. Not eager to let whomever makes these decisions mistake FLO for a good streaming partner.
BUT.... I really don't want to miss this weekend's games, and I can afford to pay.
What are others doing? Are there other considerations people are thinking?

I'm in the same boat. Willing to pay to watch the games but not willing to waste my money on some 3rd rate streaming service. Shame on SNY/UConn for dissing their fans like this.

I really don't want to miss this weekend's games, and I can afford to pay. What are others doing? Are there other considerations people are thinking? BBB complaints look dismal: www.bbb.org/us/tx/austin/profile/digital-media/flosports-inc-0825-1000108975/complaintsAnd this is 2 years ago, but doesn't sound good: www.reddit.com/r/NCAAW/comments/e22kzf/does_anyone_have_any_experience_with_flohoops/As I understand it, the monthly plan is $30. It's not clear to me whether there is still a free 7 day trial, which, if it exists, would certainly do the trick, both in testing its dependability and getting coverage for the tournament. Even without the free trial, I'd roll the dice on $30 if I knew that I were watching. But, as I said in the daily check-in section, I have family coming and it's uncertain I'll be able to watch until Monday, when it's on ESPN, I think. |

I've read horror stories about them, I believe (no evidence to support that) that the replays will be on Youtube within 12 hours. At least the championship game is on espn or espn 2, not worth the risk of getting ripped off.

I think the tournament owns this streaming deal. If UCONN owned it, it would be probably be SNY. Still a shame, though. |

I also have family coming in, so a delayed replay may even increase my likelihood of being able to see it. But it'll be killing me at game-time to be missing it! |

If you have a smart tv, just add the flosports channel and everything is seamless! Beware. I asked for a month and the app billed me for an annual subscription. Sigh. Not a good start. Also note that you can cancel any time, but there are no refunds. Your time is still expiring and the only thing you gain from cancelling early is deactivating your ability to get subscribed content. I contacted Customer service immediately. We'll see. |

I'll go the radio route, and thanks for that. The one I used last year now charges. This one is just for iphone or ipad, not for a laptop. But I can keep working as I listen on my phone.
Why is this stuff so hard?

I tried adding it on my TV and it said Flosports wasn't an option. How did you do it? |

In any case, the app doesn't do anything but play whatever game is streaming to my cellphone. I may plug TV to computer and have a wired connection today. |

My smart Android TV used to be able to do that, but "upgrades" now, for unknown reasons, prevent it. sigh.... |
