### 2/5 — Wish it was cheaper

*2026-05-31, version 10.7*

$10/year for an app that tells you about who is in first feels really expensive. Even if it’s a decent looking app.

### 3/5 — Only useful if you subscribe

*2025-03-31, version 10.7*

I picked this up to see MLB standings at a glance. They have several amazing widgets that I wanted on my home screen. Unfortunately you can’t add widgets unless you’re a subscriber. So if I want to avoid paying for another subscription, I need to open the app each time to check the standings. At that point, I might as well just use the MLB app, which I already had. It’s a shame- I wanted to love this app.

### 4/5 — Very Helpful Widget

*2025-02-23, version 10.7*

Like the widget a lot but NHL this season is messed up.

### 4/5 — Widget request

*2024-12-26, version 10.7*

Please make the NBA Conference view available as a widget

### 4/5 — Updating scores

*2024-04-04, version 10.7*

This app use to update baseball scores quickly after end of game. Now it takes days. What is up with that?

### 3/5 — Used to love

*2024-02-21, version 10.7*

Was great, used it daily but it’s no longer updated. Hockey doesn’t even update with the latest info. It’s frustrating.

### 3/5 — No hockey

*2024-01-18, version 10.7*

I’ve had this app for a few years now. It’s really good for football for sure. But I used to use it for hockey as well. There hasn’t been any updates since November and it is now January. No way to contact for support or questions without beingof subscriber to formally known as Twitter. But I hate social media. I’m going to unsubscribe to the premium since I am not getting anything out of it now

### 3/5 — Wrong year / season in widget

*2023-09-07, version 10.7*

MLB shows 2022 (label and team data) even though I have it set to 2023. Current season is correct in the app it’s just the widget that is wrong. Similar for NFL.

### 2/5 — This was an easy 5 for me… has fallen all the way to 2stars

*2023-07-01, version 10.7*

I paid for premium and I could be wrong about this, but when I did it I could have sworn it was a 1 time lifetime payment. Now they’re wanting $10 every year… it is NOT worth that… however, they do have some pretty awesome widgets if you’re in to that sort of thing. 

My rating for this app used to be 5 stars.

This new (ridiculous) $10/yr price for premium is enough to knock this app down at least 1.5 stars… 

>>>>    so now we are at 3.5 stars

I cancelled my premium membership but it doesn’t go into effect until January 2024, so all of my premium features/widgets should work the same as they always have. Unfortunately,
there have been major issues with their widgets for at least the last 3+ weeks. 

Whenever I scroll thru my widgets and come across this the Pennant app’s widget, I encounter one of the following issues:

a.) the widget shows the wrong year’s standings. It keeps showing me 2022 standings (MLB) even though I have the widget set to show the current season’s standings (2023)

Or 

b.) it grays out the widget completely and shows a picture of a lock. It has a message telling me that to view the widgets I need to have a premium membership. I keep clicking on the “restore previous purchase” and it doesn’t fix the issue

**remember I should still have access to everything premium until the end of January 2024**

the above issues bring this app’s rating down another 1.5 stars

>>>>    so now we are at 2.0 stars
——————————————————————

To the creator of the app….

I’m sorry, but the Pennant app is NOT worth $10 per year. Plain and simple this price is a total rip off…. especially when the only cool thing about the app (the widgets) have been faulty more times than not for several weeks now. 

Maybe if the app and widgets actually start working correctly again AND you expanded the selection of sports beyond the big 4 professional American sports leagues.

You should consider adding College Football and College Basketball… and, although I’m not a fan of soccer, it would be wise to add some of the major professional soccer leagues around the world.

### 2/5 — Great when it works

*2023-06-24, version 10.7*

The widgets now say I need to upgrade even though I have paid for the premium features. Restore purchase does not work. The developer does not have any support page on their site, only way to reach out I can find is twitter, and no response to my messages there.

### 3/5 — Lost all my functionality

*2023-05-20, version 10.7*

Bought the app a long time ago and now am unable to view detailed stats for my favorite team. Tried restoring purchase to no avail. Tried reaching to @PennantApp a couple times and no response.

### 3/5 — Great app. But…

*2023-04-09, version 10.7*

I absolutely love this app. However one thing that I am noticing is that the widgets for different sports (specifically NBA & MLB) do not save correctly based on the parameters that you set.

### 2/5 — MLS Standings widget kind of works

*2023-03-05, version 10.7*

I’ve been looking for an app that allows me to have an MLS standings widget. This one does, but when I select 2023 on the Edit Widget screen it still displays 2022 standings. Tried to report a bug but that page is broken.

### 2/5 — Used to work

*2022-09-17, version 10.7*

Used to work great but it seems like every new season (at least with NFL) that there is a bug where the widget doesn’t update to the newest season standings no matter how many times it’s selected in the options; it always reverting back to 21-22 stats which are now meaningless. Hoping for an update soon to fix this issue and can update my review!

### 3/5 — Inaccurate info

*2022-03-06, version 10.5*

Records of teams and leagues are not up to date and it’s been a few days now. Slow on updating info. Just not worth it. Beautiful idea and concept though.

### 4/5 — Minor inaccuracies

*2021-11-12, version 10.3*

Clippers beat Trail Blazers 116-86 oct. 25 and that game seems to be vanished by both teams’ records and results.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Premium?

*2025-04-02, version 10.7*

Just paid for premium specifically for the widget but the widget keeps showing 2022 standings.

### 1/5 — Updated?

*2024-11-29, version 10.7*

I purchased the premium app, but it appears that the standings are not updated.

### 1/5 — Incorrect info. Please fix

*2024-10-18, version 10.7*

Info for central division nhl for the current year is showing incorrectly. 

I’d rather send an email to get this corrected but a review or twitter is the only contact options provided and I am not going to create a twitter account

### 1/5 — Is this app being updated?

*2024-04-08, version 10.7*

Good app but nothing updated for 2024 makes this a one star review.

### 1/5 — No more updates, still paying sub

*2024-03-23, version 10.7*

This is dumb. Used to be a great app. Nothing works now. What a sad thing.

### 1/5 — Paid subscriber for a broken app that I can’t get support for…

*2023-11-30, version 10.7*

I used to love and swear by this app. Been a paid subscriber for years and years. Lately it doesn’t update scores. NHL scores are almost a month old. Tried all the usual moves to get it to refresh. But that’s not the 1-Star review, it’s the ability to message the dev for help. “Support” is X [FKA Twitter] but I cannot DM the app profile; and I cannot DM the dev human unless I spend money to get X Verified. Frustrating and an absurd waste of my time.

### 1/5 — Widgets are a pain to get right, but good once done

*2023-09-09, version 10.7*

I’ve had the app for many years now (4?) and find it solid overall HOWEVER each year when it comes time to update the season (eg 22-23 to 23-24) it is a royal pain the backside!  I keep getting stuck in a loop where I select the new season year but the widget keeps showing a past season. Some for of this headache happens EVERY SEASON CHANGE.  
This really detracts from an otherwise quality app.

### 1/5 — Bugs bugs bugs

*2022-10-23, version 10.7*

This used to be a really good app and the developer responded immediately to bug reports. It’s become an error filled piece of junk and the developer ignores bug reports. 

Case in point, in the NBA Central Division, a team is 2-0, 1.000 win pct, 0 games back. 2 teams are 1-2, .333 win pct, also listed as 0 games back. A 3 rd team is also 1-2, .333 win pct, but that team is 1.0 game back. And the final team in the division is 1-1, .500 win pct, also 1.0 game back. So why can’t the developer do basic math and sorting?  This kind of error happens in every sport every season, some get fixed, some don’t. 

I can only suggest you use this app as a curiosity, nothing to rely on for accurate information.

### 1/5 — Subscribed to annual but not recognizing that I have it

*2022-09-26, version 10.7*

I’m subscribed to the annual all sports subscription and now the widgets are saying that I need to upgrade to pro and not working.  
I hit restore purchases and still not working… 
This is very unfortunate

### 1/5 — 2023 NFL Season?

*2022-09-19, version 10.7*

Are we no longer supporting the free app with season updates?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Change subscription

*2024-03-26, version 10.7*

How  do I change or cancel my subscription? I don’t see a place to do that on the app or in Settings. Thx.

### 5/5 — Great app. Please add remaining schedule

*2023-11-27, version 10.7*

Love this app. It’s so easy to view the whole league or just follow the season and the leagues standings.  However. I do wish I could view remaining schedules of teams somehow. It’s annoying that I have to go to another app just to see which game is next for a team.

### 5/5 — Simple but Powerful

*2022-04-24, version 10.6*

I absolutely love this app! When ESPN can’t do widgets, Pennant does and does it well. Who needs another sports app?

### 5/5 — Please add conference standings to widget!!

*2021-11-03, version 10.3*

Love the app! Not everyone’s NFL team is competing for a division title, but we still hold out hope for the wild card :’). If you could add an option to show conference standings in the widget that would be awesome!

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2021-01-14, version 10.0.5*

I am loving the app and use it almost daily. It’s updated frequently which I appreciate. 

Please add so when I’m in the my pennant view, I can click on one of my “widgets” and get into that info. So I click on my fav team and it takes me to the team screen. I click on NFL standing and it takes me to the nfl screen so I can dive in more. Should all be linked together. 

If possible, would love to be able to also see my teams upcoming schedule. Who they are playing, dates, and times. 

Also needs playoff data/standings/games. 

Thanks!

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks so much! Good news: tapping on the My Pennant views and widgets will soon launch you to the league, division, or team details. Watch for this in the next build! Schedules would be nice to add and I’ll see what I can do on that front.

### 5/5 — Baseball Fans Rejoice

*2020-10-04, version 10.0.1*

Wow! I am so bummed that I didn’t find this app until the end of September. What a brilliant concept! This is a great example of how excellent design can make tons of data fun to consume. Really beautiful and efficient way to track your team’s playoff chances.

### 5/5 — Amazing find - great widgets

*2020-09-28, version 10.0.1*

Simple app looks really good and does everything you’d want (for the most part. Some small bugs but I’m sure they’ll be fixed). Widgets look fantastic

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2020-09-24, version 10.0.1*

I’ve been using this app for a day and already really enjoy it. The widgets are clean and beautiful and awesome to get a quick look at how your sports teams are doing. One thing I do hope is added in the future is conference/league standings and playoff picture blocks. For example, I would love to be able to see where my team is in the playoff race for the NL/AL coming down the stretch in baseball or what seed my team is currently in the East/West in basketball.  Other than that, this app feels like it has it all!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-09-17, version 10.0*

You would be an idiot to not download this app. Don’t be an idiot.

### 5/5 — More sports!! Simple and wonderful

*2020-07-27, version 9.7*

You won't be disappointed. You can see all the standings in an easy to view comparison across all teams, along with more detailed W/L stats for each team. What a great app.
