Olympics: Live Sports & News 4+

I check this app like every five minutes

I am a massive skating fan, so whenever skate is on I watch live and keep the app open—it's awesome that I don't even have to refresh. The score just pops up when it's been released, which is usually 10-30 seconds before it comes up on the telly. I love that it always alerts me when a country I tick off is competing/has won a medal, that's super great. Overall, it's very aesthetically pleasing and runs quickly with practically no bugs. 11/10 would recommend!

Lots of info, but not user friendly. And what Time Zone!?

This app has been around since at least the last Olympic Games, yet is still not user friendly. Professional interface engineers need to apply best practices with user feedback to improve the usability. Too many hoops to jump through (too many clicks to desired info) and insufficient user customization of the interface.
Why are event times in military time with no time zone provided? We can assume it’s local to the Olympic site, but how do we know? It could also be GMT. And why can’t we just select our time zone in settings and see all events at the time they occur in our own time zone? As it stands now, we have to covert military time to regular civilian time and then figure out what time zone the Olympic site is in (Japan this year) and then figure out the difference between the time in Japan and the time in our own town and then covert! Just let me set my time zone!

We are sorry you are having an issue with the time zones.

The time in the app is the Tokyo local time and unfortunately, there is no way to change it. You can also find the schedule on the website https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/all-sports/olympic-schedule.htm

Our goal is to provide a rich experience. We would like to hear more about your concern. Please reach out to us at http://support.olympics.com if you have more questions or if you would like to give us feedbacks.

Not Very User Friendly

(Updated from 1 star to 3 stars because some problems were corrected.)
The pages load fast, but the settings still need to be improved:
(1) We need to have more than one favorite team; at least 3 favorites would be good - many of us have multi-national families, friends, and business colleagues.
(2) We need to be able to pick more than 8 favorite sports to follow, or else we need to be able to select some broader categories as well as individual events. At least 12 would help. For example, I would like to choose “Swimming / Diving” and get ALL the swimming and diving events including the synchronized swimming; “Martial Arts” and get Karate, Judo, TaeKwanDo and anything else considered a martial art; and “Cycling” and get everything that uses a bicycle.
(3) The app needs a landscape view for iPad and other tablets.
