Incorporate 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.

Expensive and not worth it ,

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.
