Ratings and Reviews
Add 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.
Great on iPhone, needs better iPad support
The play-by-play feature is great and delivers second by second updates, even on the home screen, performance depending on your internet connection of course.
The stat sheets/box score sections are also really helpful, giving quick important info that's updated fairly quickly, like pts., rebounds assists & PF's (basketball stats), and isn't visually busy.
I would actually like a couple more stats but then I guess it would crowd the screen. Would also like a link to the official websites of these teams/leagues for more stats & info (might have already, but didn't notice any). Overall, the app gives high-lvl overviews of games, mainly just the score, stats, play-by-play, which is what majority of us care for anyway.
**Biggest issue**: App layout is great on iPhone but isn't well integrated for iPad use, using the same aspect ratio and everything. The home screen live activity stuff works well on both devices, but the actual app UI really wasn't at all adjusted for iPad which is annoying.
It’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.
