Altitude+

Review by eFreeware

Altitude+ is the streaming service for the Altitude Sports regional network, published by Altitude Sports & Entertainment, LLC. It carries Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche game broadcasts along with the studio programming that surrounds them, and it arrived on Google Play in October 2024. For a fan of either team who has cut the cord, that combination is the appeal: the games and the talk around them in one place, without a full cable package.

The app is free to download, and it has picked up more than 10,000 installs with a 3.4 average across 818 ratings. Those numbers suggest a service with a defined audience rather than a broad one, which fits what it is: a regional sports network putting its own coverage behind a subscription.

The games are the main draw

The core of the service is live basketball and hockey. The developer puts the slate at more than 65 Nuggets broadcasts and more than 65 Avalanche broadcasts, which covers the bulk of a regular season for each team. Those numbers are the reason most people would subscribe, and they are the first thing I would weigh against the monthly cost.

Around the games sits pregame and postgame coverage, so the app is built for the full arc of a game night rather than the opening whistle alone. If your habit is to watch the analysis before a puck drop or the reaction after a final buzzer, that framing is part of what you are paying for.

Studio shows fill the gaps between games

Away from live action, the app carries full episodes of Altitude Sports originals. These are the network's own productions, and they give the service something to offer on days when neither team is playing. For a subscriber, that is the difference between an app you open twice a week and one that has a reason to stay installed.

The developer's summary describes the app as the new streaming home of Altitude Sports, which places it as the network's own direct service rather than a bundle of channels. That matters for expectations: the catalog is Altitude's programming, and nothing beyond it is implied.

What a subscription costs and where it works

Unlimited streaming runs $19.95 per month, and the subscription renews automatically unless auto-renewal is switched off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. The renewal charge lands within 24 hours of that period ending, and the amount is shown in your account settings. You can stop the subscription whenever you like, and renewal can be switched off in the account settings.

Geography is the other requirement. The service is offered in Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Southwest South Dakota in the Rapid City DMA, and Wyoming. The developer also notes that NBA and NHL restrictions mean some areas within that footprint may not receive Nuggets or Avalanche game broadcasts, so the games you care about are worth checking against your location before you commit to a month.

The download itself is free, and the app carries ads and offers in-app purchases. The subscription is the stated path to unlimited streaming, and the monthly price is the figure to plan around.

How I would approach a first month

Because billing is monthly and cancelation is allowed at any time, the low-risk way in is to subscribe when a stretch of games you actually want to watch is coming up, then decide from there. A single month covers a meaningful run of Nuggets or Avalanche games, and it also gives you the studio shows and the pre and postgame segments to judge whether the wider catalog holds your interest.

Before paying, confirm two things: that you are in one of the listed states, and that your specific area is not among those blocked for the team you follow. Those are the two conditions that decide whether the service is useful to you at all, and both are knowable in advance.

If you keep the subscription, set a reminder ahead of your renewal date. Since auto-renewal continues unless it is turned off at least a day before the period ends, a calendar note is the simplest way to stay in control of the charge rather than reacting to it.

A regional service for a specific fan

Altitude+ is a narrow product by design. It serves supporters of two Denver teams and viewers of one regional network's programming, and it asks $19.95 a month for that. If you follow the Nuggets or the Avalanche and live inside the covered states, the value proposition is straightforward: a large share of each season plus the shows around it, without a broader television package.

If you are outside the footprint, or inside it but in an area restricted for your team's games, the service cannot do what you would want it to, and the monthly fee is hard to justify. The 3.4 average across 818 ratings suggests a mixed reception, which is worth keeping in mind alongside the fact that the app was updated in July 2026 with bug fixes and enhancements.

My recommendation is a month-by-month approach rather than a long commitment. Subscribe for a stretch of games you will genuinely watch, use the studio shows to judge the rest of the catalog, and let the renewal reminder make the keep-or-cancel decision an easy one.
