For those of you still struggling, try clearing out the app cache, or uninstalling, and reinstalling the app as a basic troubleshooting step suggested by ESPN fan support.

The app’s support team hasn’t acknowledged the issue, however, reports from users have also drowned out. Thus the issue may have been resolved for most people.
