Hello Mpt102,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see you have some questions about your ESPN app, and we'd like to help. From here, we'd recommend removing the app, installing again, and then testing to see if the issue remains. These steps can sometimes help with app issues. Remove apps from iPhone
Remove apps
Do any of the following:
•Remove an app from the Home Screen: Touch and hold the app on the Home Screen, tap Remove App, then tap Remove from Home Screen to keep it in App Library, or tap Delete App to delete it from iPhone.
•Delete an app from App Library and Home Screen: Touch and hold the app in App Library, tap Delete App, then tap Delete. (See Find your apps in App Library.)
If you change your mind, you can redownload apps you’ve removed.
If you still have issues, reaching out to the developer would be the best step from here, to look into this further: How to contact an app developer
Contact the developer of an iOS, iPadOS, or watchOS app
1) Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
2) Search for the app, then tap it. If you can't find it, tap the account button
or your photo at the top of the screen, tap Purchased, tap "Not on this [device]," then tap the app.
3) The app's product page appears. Scroll to the Ratings & Reviews section, then tap App Support. If you don't see App Support, make sure that you're signed in with the correct Apple ID.
Regards.
