Looking for a sports app???
This is the one and the ONLY one you need. Absolutely fantastic insights into so many sports and a great, easy to use interface. One thing, if the developer reads this, any plans on a widget for my shiny new Home Screen?Biggysnax

Hi there, we wanted to let you know that we now have an iOS 14 home screen widget! You must be on an OS version of 14.0 or greater and have updated the app to version 21.8.0 to set up the widget. For any questions regarding the new widget, please email us at support@thescore.com - DBGreat app, needs some tweaks
This is a great sports app, love the scores, news and updates plus they even have the Canadian Football League, I’m a big fan!
Having said that, the in-game portions of the app could use some work. For football games, ESPN and CBS Sports show the field and player pictures and arrows to see exactly what’s happening and the most recent play. TheScore’s “field” is far less like a real football field.
For baseball, competitor apps show the batter, where pitches were located and where the ball was hit. TheScore doesn’t do those things. Hockey, should show an ice surface to see where shots and goals come from.
Additionally, the dark theme on theScore app is ok, but you should have an option for a light theme.
Lastly, when you click on a particular player, it should show their career stats, not just the stats from this game and this season. I like to see a player’s full career numbers.
Also, maybe remove the Chat section from games. It often becomes mean-spirited with fans going too far with verbal taunts and I just don’t enjoy it. I don’t like reading that sort of thing.
In my opinion if all those changes were made, this app would be FLAWLESS.
Thanks

Excellent app for staying up with your sports all in one. Would love to see other sports added to the app such as Aussie Rules! Can’t seem to be able to compare players stats anymore though 😔tny9$

Hey there, thanks for the review and kind words! I'll be sure to pass along your request for the AFL to our development team for review. -MCPoor
Used to really enjoy this app but now it’s full of adverts and pop ups!
To many times before you can read the content you’ve clicked on you have to wait for videos to be cancelled or side bars that cover what you’re trying to read.Laimster

Hey there - can you please write in regarding this issue to thescoreapp@thescore.com with more information? Our support team can help investigate. -EKDownload CNN, MSNBC or Foxnews instead!
For a long time the score remained politically neutral and just did sports. Times have changed. You would think that a no name start up, that has managed to wrestle away a large swath of users from ESPN, would understand that it was less about how good theScore was and more of a referendum on ESPN. America doesn’t watch sports to get another dose of politics. American media makes sure we are well aware Trumps tweets and Biden’s gaffes. I will be deleting this app now, not because of its features or usability, but because it has become just another conduit for people to editorialize some version of some story and remind me I shouldn’t try and interpret the world as I see it. They must know they are being controlled as the “remove comments” for any opinions piece they write, which has become a majority of their articles.
In conclusion if you would like to get a solid dose of political animus with your football or basketball scores then this is the app for you!Show lessProudSalmon

This is the greatest sports app I’ve ever downloaded. It has everything from wrestling to soccer to basketball. It has all players and teams and I really like how it has a comment section so you can talk with other people. Best app!Donnie McHufh

Hey there, thanks for the awesome review! - AWToo many useless notifications
I’ll start by saying this is the best sports app I can find for news and scores. The problem is, I find myself drowning in “breaking news” notifications such as “this week in footy” and “vote for the best performance of the week!”. There should be an option to separate the ACTUAL breaking news from the fluff articles that happen to mention the team or league you want to follow.
EDIT: the developer response was helpful, but this option is not available to all leagues and teams. There is no option to turn off social, video, and features for English Football, Champions League, or English football teams (such as Liverpool) - and these leagues are the worst of the bunch in this regard. Please standardize this ability to filter news notifications and this will become 5 stars and hands down the best sports app ever!
EDIT 2: been months and no change on this front. Getting tireless push notifications for things like ‘wacky transfers gone wrong!!!!!’ Not sure how the ability to filter breaking news from the rest of the drivel hasn’t been standardized across all leagues / teams. Downgraded review to one star due to this frustrating oversight.Show lessMasis79

Hey there, thanks for getting back to us and for updating your review. We'll pass along your additional feedback to our product team. - AWA couple of updates I’d like to see
The Score is still my favorite sports app, but I feel that it is falling behind in a couple of regards. One is the ability to pay for an ad-free option. Particularly with soccer apps, an ad-free option is standard for a small annual fee. It would be nice if the Score could offer something similar - the ads are not only annoying, but cause the app to become a battery hog at times, limiting the amount of time I spend on the app.
Secondly, the app struggles to render external links. Apps like Yahoo Sports, One Football, etc. have gotten a lot better about featuring content from external sites but rendered cleanly in-app rather than forcing you to go to the external site itself. But even when they do force to go outside the app, those pages load much more quickly and clearly than they do inside the Score (and avoid the big intrusive black bar at the top of the screen that the Score always seems to have). Twitter videos also embed much more cleanly in their articles than they do on the Score. It’s getting to the point where I ignore the “favorites” section altogether, because it is predominantly populated with external links.Show lessRScannix

Thanks for the support. In-app advertising ensures we can continue offering theScore as a free app. That said, we do work to ensure any advertising does not significantly detract from using the app, so we’re sorry if this has not been your experience. Although there are no immediate plans for an ad-free version of the app, I'll be sure to pass along your thoughts and all your suggestions to our team. -MC
