CBS Sports App: Scores & News 4+

👁CBS Sports

👁CBS Sports is an awesome app! I love how the integrate CBS Sports HQ into their news wall, allow you to easily navigate through to your favorite team’s blog sites with local and national sports stories while also seeing news of each league. I like how you get live tweets from both sides of a game and can live tweet along with your team’s beat writers and click on stories. The app use to crash, but updates have improved the navigation of the app as well as the user interface experience. I do wish they’d do a better job with teams logo’s color: I’m a SF Giants fan and seeing our SF logo in white when it should be orange, at the same time seeing other teams have their multiple color schemes used...did y’all run out of orange? Overall, CBS did a great job and I use this app to keep up with games that don’t come in as clear on the radio (we live in an area where am radio doesn’t come in very clear.) Plus in dark mode, its so much better, now that the bug that put black on black writings has been fixed.

Bracket problems

I don’t like the changes this year. I’m a manager and I couldn’t find access to information before the brackets locked. It was hard for some of my members to log in and I couldn’t help. It wasn’t clear how you could use the sample brackets. Once the brackets locked I couldn’t make changes for players as I could in the past. I sent a question to the help desk and never got a response other than an acknowledgment of receipt.
I didn’t like the ways the brackets displayed. I like seeing the whole bracket at once. The having to click multiple times on regions was just annoying and made the tournament seem fractured. Ii made it hard to keep track of how teams were doing. I didn’t like the check and the “x”, you had to keep digging to find the team names. I didn’t like that you could submit your bracket without completing it. I had a couple of players who didn’t realize they hadn’t completed there brackets. I didn’t like the new version at all.

In my opinion, it’s the best

I’ve tried all the sports apps and have tested them extensively for a few years now. My top three are CBS Sports, Yahoo Sports, and ESPN. The one I favor for experience is definitely CBS. The UI is quite slick and the information provided is well organized and easy to read and understand. The thing I’m desperately waiting for though is Home Screen widgets and live actions. I know there is a widget you can add to that weird screen to the left, but I really want something right there on my home page giving me updates on my games. Plus live actions they stay up to date to the second would be amazing. Lastly, PLEASE give us an in app subscription that will remove ads. I will pay for that immediately.
