    This is a so so app. It has the information about some of the teams I like, but short on info about injuries. Place a feature that lists injury reports for each team, how long they’ll be out and their status. A lot of the stories are old too. Everything revolves around the yankees, Ed Sox and dodgers. Some Small market teams are teams that win on lower budgets, and with rosters that are not store bought winners with high salary players.
    ******Would be great if when using the "game" function if yahoo would include a sound feature to it. Listening to a game while you're team is on the road, and not on tv would really make the game feature a whole lot better.

  • Miss the days of missing big plays? You're in luck!

    If you are missing the days where big plays fly by you due to service interruptions, you're in luck! This app will fail to provide live games only at the most inopportune times, and boy does it never disappoint! It's even invented new ways you kick you off, such as randomly locating you in a blackout area for minutes at a time. Don't worry though, restarting the app or your phone is ineffective. You simply have to wait until the Yahoo Sports gods grant you another shot at seeing your team in the playoffs. What a great deal Yahoo made with your wireless provider! They didn't even have to provide appropriate capacity to handle the demand!

  • Favorite sports app out there

    The layout is easy and quick, has enough articles to keep me entertained, and the BIGGEST plus is that it's the only sports app I've found that shows what station a game is being played. That actually is the biggest separator between other apps.

    I'm giving it a 4 because stats is a little lacking, not sure how easy it is to bolster that, but it bothers me. Also, I loved when it had trending games. It was removed a while, but it still REALLY bothers me they got rid of it. I used to open the app and see a big college football game was coming up, then an NBA game, then college football. Cool. 3 big games coming on, and what channel they were on, close the app and be happy. Now I have to manually check ALL the games across all the sports. I can see if they never had it, but they did and removed it >:-<

  • Somethings is off

    I’ve been using yahoo sports for awhile now, these days for me to read the news articles it’s like commercial after commercials the worse part is it lags or stops for me to read it real quick. I hope they fix these glitches. The score updates take awhile to load, I was trying to follow the dodgers game 7 for the NLCS and someone next to me with another sport app was cheering about something and I realized my score didn’t upload fast enough so I found out the dodgers won when I had one more out to go. Please yahoo help a brother out!

  • Stop sending adds as “notifications”.

    Until recently this app was perfect. I use it often and rely on it for scores, news and relevant info. It was one of the first apps I downloaded when I purchased my first iPhone years ago. I don’t know if some policy changed with iOS 12 but I receive adds now masked as “notifications”. Stop this BS. Stop. It. Stop trying to ruin everything in the world with additional income streams. If you can’t afford to run the app, cut something irrelevant or unused. I do not want adds as “notifications”. I DO want relevant notifications on my favorite sports and teams. Learn the difference.

  • This app is wonderful!

    It gives me updates faster than other apps, and it’s not clogged with ads.

    The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars is because after the latest update, the notifications are having problems. They keep getting cut off (like the team name might not completely show). I have bigger/bolder text on my phone, but even with that, the notifications never seemed to be an issue at all. Which might not be a huge problem, but I use the notifications for score updates and such, since I can’t always have the app open or watch/listen to the game.

  • Yahoo please.

    What happened to this app?? It used to be my go-to app for my NBA scores and news, but now half of the articles aren't even legible. They just look like a cluster of links without a readable format to them. I mean does anyone actually proof-read the articles before they're put into the app? I'll see an article that is actually interesting only to find that I have to sift lines of links/sources to find where the article actually starts. I'm not saying that all of the news reports are like this, just a good majority of them. I used to think this app was coded better than ESPN's and BR's, but now it seems like it's right on par with them. Hopefully these issues can be resolved and be a thing of the past.

  • Need to fix. Used to be good

    Takes forever for scores and schedules to load. So annoying! this app used to be great. Now I always have issues getting scores/schedules. All my other apps work fine. I have a brand new phone with great service provider - it’s gotta be the app.
    *update* after this review the developer contacted me about the issues. It’s not fixed- but the fact that they read reviews and try to improve has me feeling good about yahoo sports again. I’ll keep checking back to see for improvements. But good on them for at least reading feedback from the people using the app. :)

    Developer Response

    We appreciate your feedback. Sometimes there's latency in our scoring updates, but I'll bring this to our Product Team's attention to see if we can eliminate the temporary issue. Headlines are not specific to a sport but cover all current headlines. We will pass along your suggestion to filter headlines for the specific sport as well.
  • Best sports app out there

    I’ve been a user forever, but when it was called sports liar and the app has always been way more organized and user friendly than ESPN or the score. I love how you added player stats for every year in their careers. I use it everyday and I love it but I used to like reading the associated press articles before and after games and for some reason the app doesn’t have them anymore. Once that’s back in, it’ll be the perfect app

  • Super Bowl flop

    Tried to stream the super bowl, but airplay wasn’t supported. Would have been willing to pay for access to a Super Bowl stream on the big screen.

    Let’s break that down, I would have PAID a one time price to see a stream of mostly ads, with a tiny bit of football and halftime content, but in 2018 this still doesn’t seem to exist.

    Guess I’m sitting this one out, let me know when the NFL finally gets with the times. Thanks for trying Yahoo!
