  • Would be better but

    The overall app is one of if not the best sports apps however they devs really really…REALLY hate when people speak about sports or speak their mind about sports. Most of the articles people are unable to comment on and their censorship is very rigid and more strict than your dad after five whiskeys and a call from his boss telling him to come in on Sunday. Its gotten to the point where you have to have the jargon of a PG rated Disney Princess in order for you to comment anywhere on this app…god forbid you use PG-13 acceptable language. They truly despise free speech and public discord and are big proponents of putting people in a box and telling them what they can and cannot say. Truly would be the best app if they didn’t treat the people like toddlers and allowed for more public discord and freer speech…they are the authoritarian fascist dictators of sports apps world.

  • Toxic community.

    The score is the one of the best all-in-one sports stars and news app that I have used. Besides their lack of statistical coverage of some lesser-watched sports (ex. WNBA), they have managed to keep everything in one platform, where you don’t have to click a link and go to an external website. The only negative is the lack of enforcement of the community’s comment guidelines. News stories are filled with commenters bashing players for performances, injuries, etc. These types of comments are common on other platforms as well, but they’re not as overwhelming. I believe this is do to a lack of guideline enforcement, that has lead to a negative comment culture. I have to delete this app from time to time because I don’t want to see such bold negativity constantly.

  • Best App for Sport by a long way

    Excellent app for a sports lover score updates and stories make this one of my favourites
  • Best sports app on the market. Easy to use and customise.

    Great interface which let's you customise for your teams and has all the info you need. The live feed during games is amazing, integrating twitter reactions seamlessly.
  • Just a colour change

    Great app very easy to use and information is fantastic. Any chance we can change the back ground colour of the widget to something other than black ???

  • Communist Monitoring

    According to this app, constantly promoting a gambling addiction on sports apps is fine but critiquing poor journalism is a bannable offense. What a load of hypocrisy!! So you mean to tell me, all the ways you're promoting gambling addictions is less offensive than people talking trash on a sports app…? Be honest, have any of you been to a sporting event? They’re not made for sensitive people, and the trash talk is supposed to be in fun nature, monitoring comments sections requires a substantial amount of ego to believe that you know what someone you’ve never met, should, and shouldn’t be saying…but that part bothers you enough to ban someone from commenting ever again, meanwhile you’re working hard to create the gambling addicts of the future even invested some capital in that market…. You sound ridiculous, your community policies are a joke, and you’re hypocritical for believing that cleaning up the trash talk in sports while PROMOTING GAMBLING ADDICTIONS in sports is the right way to go. Apparently being a ‘potty mouth’ is worse than being a gambling addict. Get a grip, you’re completely out of touch with reality, monetizing as much as possible at the cost of ruining people’s lives but I’m glad you stopped Kenny from using the B-word 😒😒😒😒😒😒 GFY

  • Love this app. Have a couple suggestions.

    This app almost single-handedly got me into sports during quarantine. It has a really simple interface that makes it easy to find everything. Now that I have experience with it, I have a couple suggestions.

    1. There’s a bug where your favorites (mainly players) get rearranged at the top of the favorites tab sometimes. I don’t know why it happens but that would be a good issue to fix.

    2. Bring back triple-double and double-double leaderboards for the NBA. Triple-doubles have become really common and it’s a very popular stat category. Double-doubles are good as well for measuring how productive centers/forwards are. They are both very cool stats that I want to see return.

    3. Add a feature that allows you to view stat leaderboards and standings from past seasons (in any sport). I know that this app doesn’t go back to 2001 or anything, but it would still be nice to, for example, look at the passing yards leaderboard from the 2018 NFL season or check how many wins the Warriors had 3 years ago. I could imagine that being fun.

  • Widget Issues *fixed*

    Edit: After receiving a response from the developer I was able to reset my device and get back the widget I love. Rating changed to 5 stars to reflect overall quality of the app as well as developer communication.

    You guys just released the “new and improved” widget but it’s worse. For example, with MLB games you could see not only the score and the inning but also runners on base and how many outs, as well as upcoming games for your favorite teams. This was all within the widget so you could just swipe right for a quick view without having to actually open the app. Now all you get is the score and the inning. Nothing else. Please fix this! I want more info about my favorite teams in the widget, not less! I’ve used this app for a long time and it’s still a great app overall, but the widget is terrible now.

    Hey there - If you are no longer seeing your old "Today View" widget, please restart your device and it should reappear. Additionally, we will pass along your request for more MLB information in the new widget to our Product Development team. If you have any additional questions or suggestions for us, please write in to support@thescore.com. -DB
  • One of my go-to sports apps

    TheScore has always been one of my favorite apps - easy to navigate, reliable and manages to cover all of the sports I follow fairly well.
    Comparing to the other sports apps on my phone: ESPN pushes you to watch and keep up with their content vs what you are actually interested in. TheAthletic has some great writing at the league level, but coverage of smaller market teams is lacking - and the UI is a nightmare to navigate. That’s why TheScore is typically my go to for sports.

    Two opportunities for improvement: support the new iOS widgets - no other sports app offer this and it would be a game changer. And please offer a paid, ad-free tier. I think many other would be willing to pay for a better UI experience.

  • New to app

    I am new to this app so maybe just haven’t found this infor yet, but I would like to see what TV channel some of the games I’m interested in are playing on. I find this infor for some events but not for all. Thanks!

    Thanks for your response. I do find TV listings in the locations you mentioned; however, there are no TV listings for some games that are actually being broadcast on stations I get. An example is last Friday’s Sporting KC match against Orlando. The app never showed where to watch, but I ended up running across the match on TV. Just saying it would be nice if this information was listed for all events, not just some. Thank you.
