As an MLS fan that bought the season pass as soon as it was announced, I can't agree more. Honestly Apple should be embarrassed, because the biggest problem with MLS Season Pass is the app and user experience.

1) On my TV, I'm consistently logged out of the app between uses. Logging in is annoying. I've sat down to watch games, hit this issue, and decided to just watch something else. I suspect that the issue here is my 2016-era LG TV, but everyone else's apps work fine.

2) When the app is working, it stutters a lot. This happens both on my TV and iPad, so I don't think this is just an app issue.

3) I have an Andriod phone, so there's no native app. More annoying log in experiences and poor video watching UX.

4) .. but on my Mac, where a website would be fine, I'm forced to use the Apple TV app to watch a game, which creates a slow and weird experience for no reason.

I'm genuinely to the point that I might not bother to renew next year if they don't start to fix these issues. I sort of doubt they will, though, as several of these (say, not having an Android app) seem like deliberate decisions and have been issues with AppleTV+ for years.
