1. 4/5Almost the only sports app I need

   I really love the improvements made on this app over time. From using multiple sports apps, I’ve been seeing where the pros and cons are with this app. It’s easy to set up following scores (but not as easy to turn off spoilers when watching games) and seems like more sports are being added but surprisingly as of this time, the World Baseball Classic has started and this hasn’t been added yet. Live Activities has improved its design and has great commentary notes for plays. Due to the limitations of the iOS currently, choosing which game is the priority live activity seems impossible and adjusting multiple games on the Dynamic Island also is a lot of work. Team-centric data like schedules or players are not here yet as teams are shown league standing information. Some apps set up a notification 30 minutes before the game which I like while this app pops up when game time happens. Would be great to have buttons for the live notifications to turn on/off spoilers if you’re watching the game or don’t want to see the score at the time. Also, as much as I have teams selected, time periods like MLB Spring Training will sometimes load the games and other times show that the game is not being followed even if I follow the team. There is also a widget for this app which I wish would update more frequently, at least if the device is plugged in and charging, but that’s also an iOS issue for background updates on widgets. Overall, love the app and the integration it has with iOS, Apple TV, and Apple Watch.

2. 4/5Incorporate Features & Useful

   I went to write this review and see that another has commented my basic complaint months ago. To be a competitive alternative to ESPN to check scores, you need to have the Network given local location. Apple collects this info, including even the streaming and television network subscriptions on which a game is shown in any given location. Apple could draw level with ESPN for this purpose by including the network info. Apple could, in my opinion, carve out a legitimately useful novel role if they were to implement a plan for this all that makes it somewhat like “RedZone” on NFL Sunday Ticket. That is, across numerous sports, and streaming services, Apple could make carve a novel marketplace purpose for this app by making the function of the app to do what it currently does, while gathering subscription info needed to independently access certain games, and creating a multi-game viewer in their app which would be the first app to allow such a sports-centered viewing experience unlike anything on the market. Only a company in the position of Apple could make this happen. Doing so would bring viewers from individual streaming services to Apple’s App to view their games. That’s ad time, minimally, in exchange for giving the user a program to make compatible numerous games from different streaming services compatible in the same viewer. Currently, the product has none of this but it could become something a lot better.

3. 4/5Add in what network the game is being broadcast on, and add the schedules for each sport

   This is an excellent app, free from the intrusive ads seen on ESPN’s app. It’s simple, straight forward, and allows the users to select which sports, leagues (if applicable), and teams they want to follow for regular score updates. For this to be a successful app and to further enhance the user experience, Apple should consider adding the following two features: 1. Broadcast information The ability to know what network the game is being broadcast on would allow users to know if they can watch the game in their area while keeping track of other scores of happening simultaneously. 2. Full season schedules Currently, this app only shows the upcoming games for the current week and not the entire schedule for that sport. It would be very beneficial to to provide the user the ability to view the entire schedule for each sport’s current and upcoming season (if upcoming season is available). For example, ESPN’s app offers a week-by-week breakdown of the college football schedule with for the entire season, allowing users to see who’s playing in any given week. Having access to the full schedule would definitely increase the amount of users wanting to use this app.

4. 4/5Need a little bit of improvement.

   I believe this app could be so so much better if they could put the information as to where the game is being played on what television network or streaming services. Also, this app could be so much nicer if you could view the score of previous games. I would like to see every score of every game for the whole year. That would be awesome. It would also be nice if we could see the rankings for all the sports here in the app as well. I like how on the iPhone there is this thing called live view. Where you can view the live score right from the lock screen or from the dynamic island that shows you a live score of the game. Now, if you all could just duplicate that and bring that to the Apple Watch. This app would be quite amazing if you ask me. Please give this some major consideration and thoughts. And there are other people out there that have made. Comments about this app and what they are wanting added is also things to look at please. Those people make good valid points and this app could be such an amazing things are added like we want.

5. 3/5It’s an Ok app it’s just lacking in some areas

   I’ve been using this app everyday to regularly keep up with my favorite teams and leagues. Initially I realized that there was leagues missing from the app. For instance at the time I started using it I was unable to follow teams or games from the NFL. Now I can follow the NFL but other leagues and associations are still missing notably the UEFA champions league or UFC and MMA. With the teams and info that is available , the app works really well in organizing it in a modern interface allowing to choose to have the home page be organized by the teams or leagues you follow. I do wish that the upcoming games tab is easier to see your teams schedule. If you follow more than one team and you attempt to look at their upcoming schedule it will stack the games kind of like how they stack notifications in notifications center. If you don’t click on the team you wouldn’t realize that your other team necessarily played that day. The app displays odds for betting and what not but they don’t actually show what networks or apps to go to to watch these games . You would have to go to the Apple TV app to then see what networks are hosting the game. I also would like to see them just incorporated into the sports app directly.
