New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on February 04, 2022) follows:
Based out of Bristol, ESPN is one of the most popular sports networks watched by more than 76 million people in the United States.
Owned by The Walt Disney Company, ESPN has several sister channels and is available in more than 200 countries. Subscribers can tune in to ESPN from the website or use the app to watch their favorite sports.
Apart from being able to watch thousands of live events, the app also lets users check scores, watch highlights, and listen to expert analysis.
That being said, recent reports from users running iOS 15.4 beta suggest that the ESPN app is crashing upon launch.
Many said that they tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but it is not helping either. Below are some of the reports shared by ESPN app users affected by the crashing issue.
It looks like users reported the crashing issues ever since Apple launched the beta on January 28.
Thankfully, ESPN Fan Support has commented on the matter and said that the app developers are aware of the app crashing issue on iOS 15.4 beta. They also said that the problem has been escalated to the concerned team.
Unfortunately, they did not share any timeline on when they plan to release a fix. Until then, those running iOS 15.4 beta will have to use the website to watch their favorite sports.
We hope the developers resolve the crashing issue in the coming days so iOS users can use the app once again. When they do, we will be updating this space so make sure you stay tuned to Piunikaweb for more information.
