Ton of potential
I love the social aspects of this app. It’s very positive-based. You can vote a bike “nice” or “super nice” or, if you don’t like it, you can just scroll past. You also can’t see who voted, which prevents people from obsessing. This could really be a great platform for people looking to leave other social networks but still wanting to connect to their cycling friends.
However, there is no way to add friends unless you happen to stumble across their post. You can’t edit a post once it’s up, so make sure you don’t make a typo! You can’t share workouts from Strava so it’s really limited at this point. It seems the social features were added as a bit of a second thought, which is a shame as there appear to be a lot of users here.
It would also be nice if there was just one giant “feed” like every other app. You have to switch between multiple tabs to see everything. It would be great if it worked like Instagram where there was one feed and when you had seen everything new you let you know with that “all up to date” notification.

Hopeless
***15 Aug 2022*** app fails again. I watched short highlights of stage 1 the women’s Tour of Scandinavia”, and when I went to watch stage 2, I have a spinning circle and the text “We’re just getting your content ready.” Except it’s not. Been like this all day, can’t watch anything. Quit the app, deleted the app, reinstalled the app - same problem. AppleTV a1625/tvOS 15.6
**********************
Such promise, such an exciting prospect. Utterly useless. Constantly fails when sending from iPad to appleTV. Support is garbage - never reads a troubleshooting email thoroughly, constantly asks the same question over and over and often replies to questions that haven’t been asked or are completely irrelevant. Been trying to send helpful emails about what’s going on, in the hope that it can be fixed, for most of the year I’ve been subscribed and still no nearer to getting an answer (latest support email asked me to tell them - again - what device I was using “if” I was trying to cast. I’ve been writing for a year that the problem is with the casting). Works fine on the iPad itself and on desktop computers, but this situation is intolerable, frustrating and utterly demoralizing Interesting that the day after writing that, I am suddenly locked out of my account on the desktop computer

Caleott,
Good app, needs spoiler alerts
I used the NBC app to watch the tour. Then I discovered this app. A good VPN solves the blackout area problems. I savor every minute of the grand tours. I want to watch the whole thing and enjoy the drama of the entire tour. I don’t want to know who won the race till I finish watching it. That might be a month later. You can turn off racing news in the preferences so the home page does not show you racing news. But I started watching the Vuelta and I see the big banner ‘Roglic is the king of Spain”. I had just started stage 2. Solution: have a no spoiler tab in preferences so that when I am looking for my next stage to watch in RacecTV, I am not blasted with a big banner for a recap that displays the winner.
Funniest moment: During the TdF when Wiggins was on the motorcycle and Ritchey Porte rides by and Brad does his best Aussie accent. Priceless. Wiggins and Kelly bring such funny color to the broadcast.

JJ$$$$$,
Overall positive but two issues
I subscribe to GCN+ and have been overall happy with the product, notwithstanding geo limitations which I understand is largely out of their control. However, I have had two recent issues with the app though which is frustrating.
First, please redesign now you showcase the latest news on RaceTV to avoid spoilers. Today I went to watch highlights of the TdF but the “GCN Daily” news card on the RaceTV tab had in big bold letters who had won the race. This was just a couple of hours after the conclusion of the race. Late-breaking news like this is better reported on the other tabs, e.g. Home, which I know to avoid reading if I can’t watch live.
I’d also like a smoother interface for races available to stream in my region. If a race is not available to watch, none of the options should be available to click. Otherwise, if I click on a race, I get a black screen with the play/fast forward/rewind buttons but nothing loads. Previously I would get a red screen stating not available in my region. At the very least, bring that red screen back.

foodinsights,
Great content but the app is still quite buggy
First off I really love the content and insight in the app. I am not really into the social features though. Biggest issue at the moment is that the Resume feature on playback is very poorly implemented. If you are watching a live race, stop and return to the rerun later, it gives you the option to resume which only loads the end of the rerun - sometimes showing you who the winner is!!! Next up if you resume a rerun you get a blank screen and there is absolutely no way to continue watching it. You can’t even delete and reinstall the app because it stores where you left off on the server and not the local app.
Please, please test your features before you unleash them on your users. This is unacceptable and spoils what is in general a really great app.
Another mild annoyance is that you can’t check any details about the stage while you are watching it - e.g. the route or stage profile. This used to be available in previous versions but now you have to stop watching to check these details.

Good content, difficult to use app
I subscribed solely to watch the World Cup XC mountain bike racing.
I watch only on Apple TV. The app has been reliable with no crashes of freezes. The fast-forward function during race replays is terrible though. I know the developers said in responses to other reviews that they will address this in future releases, but as of June 2023 the fast-forward function is useless. The UI to find past races is also very difficult to use.
My one major complaint is with the actual race presentation. There are too many slow-motion replays thrown into the race. I know that sounds trivial, but the frequency with which they appear is way beyond annoying. Normally I would simply click the remote once or twice to advance 15 or 30 seconds, but that’s not possible with the app due the current fast-forward function. Not being able to skip the slo-mo segments is by far the most annoying part of the GCN+ experience. Good grief, please stop with the slow motion replays!

ConiferMike,
Good for awhile
I bought the yearly subscription to this app and loaded it on my phone and my Samsung TV. I was initially impressed. I bought it mainly to watch the Tour of Italy since no U.S. network carries it. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t get some of the European classics, but I did get races I’d never seen before. The day the Giro started all of a sudden I got a content unavailable notice for any race despite the Giro and others being on the menu. I contacted customer service and was finally told the problem was fixed. Disappointedly I found out it has not been fixed. I again contacted customer service and they are ghosting me. Meanwhile the Giro goes on and I can’t access it. I also don’t know why the U. S. Is shut out of viewing a lot of the important European races. If it’s global then let it be global. Anyway, beware of this app as it seems to want to let you down.
CP Cyclist,
Incredible content outlet!
GCN by far has the greatest community oriented platform. The easy to use app and website makes for an enjoyable experience watching the countless forms of entertainment that are provided. The videos are absolutely high quality and professional with the perfect amount of humor to make you feel like you’ve known the team for years. The ability to watch live world wide races on GCN+ is always exciting! While not all races are available in the US they do their best to provide all content needed to cover the races. The community of other cyclists makes the already enjoyable experience that much more intriguing. They are willing to help answer questions and the fellow support for beginners such as myself is unforgettable. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed. Thanks GCN !
Sburrious,
Typical Experience with this App
This morning successfully watched a portion of Stage 15 of the Giro through iPhone AirPlay on my Roku. Yay! Went on an errand. Returned and attempted to resume and all I get is a black screen on my iPhone. No playback, no controls even. Spent 20 minutes trying everything I could think of, forcing app to restart, updating app, changing VPN region, turning VPN off. Trying the “includes live show” version. Nothing works. Extended highlights are available but not the race replays. Based on experience I may be able to get it to work later but for now I’m out of luck.
Airplay is also often a nightmare. This morning it just happened to be resuming playback on the app that failed.
If this app weren’t so incredibly frustrating I would maintain an annual subscription and watch classics and other content. As it is I can only stomach it to watch the Giro. Nothing else piques my interest enough to compensate for the pain of using this incredibly glitchy app. So I’ll terminate my subscription until next year.

Khaneliman,
Needs so much work
Love the content available in the app. The navigation and layout to finding said content is horrid.
The races are just a scrolling carousel without grouping by race or year or anything.
Since there’s no Apple TV app I am forced to AirPlay but the airplay support is frustrating because of the app design. When you select a stage/race it defaults to playing the full race in the video player on the app page that opens, but when you want to watch a highlight video it only opens as a slide up video on top of the main video. This causes issues with airplay and leaving the app or sleeping the screen of your phone resulting in canceling video playback of the highlight video and resuming playing the race video. This leads to next complaint…
App video playing doesn’t store what you watched. When you watch 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes of a race and your airplay changes to a different video to play on your tv, you lose track of what you watched previously when you go back to the video you wanted to watch. This can occur in too many ways because of the Airplay implementation and results in way too much time spent trying to just find where you were watching from before.
The social features are frustrating because of the inability to search for users or posts, you only see what is shown to you.
