Be free
Response from developer
ScoringLive is a locally operated sports media service, not a publicly funded resource. Providing scores, schedules, statistics, and coverage of high school athletics across Hawaiʻi requires significant time, personnel, and resources. Our subscription model makes that coverage possible. We respect everyone’s choice whether to subscribe, but charging for the work involved in providing this service is not taking advantage of our community.
Not worth it atm
I think that’s why people are writing low/negative reviews of the app it’s because of this charge. I get the situation for both sides but there’s gotta be a better way for more accessibility for the scoring updates for everyone. Make it fair please. Everyone providing feedback is from Hawaii and they understand that “greed” mindset that they are saying and upsetting them.
Response from developer
We understand people prefer free. ScoringLive was free and ad-supported for more than 15 years, but unfortunately that model was no longer sustainable. We don’t know whether a paid model will be either, but at $24.99/year, we believe it gives ScoringLive the best path forward. We respect that the subscription may not be worth it for everyone, but this change isn’t about greed — it’s about giving ScoringLive a chance to operate sustainably. Going back to the old free model simply isn’t an option.
Stats not being updated
Response from developer
ScoringLive provides much more than just scores. Player stats are updated for many games throughout the season — including live, in-game statistical updates for much of our coverage on game nights. If there’s a specific game, team or player you believe is missing stats, please email us at ap@scoringlive.com so we can look into it specifically.
Mean the 7 day FREE TRIAL
Response from developer
App Store subscriptions, free trials, cancellations and billing are handled entirely by Apple, not ScoringLive. We do not process subscription charges or have the ability to charge an annual subscription after cancellation. If a 7-day trial was canceled the day after it began, we recommend reviewing the subscription and purchase history associated with your Apple Account and contacting Apple regarding the charge or a refund.
Trash
Response from developer
We understand that not everyone is going to agree with the move to a subscription model. ScoringLive provided its coverage free to the public for many years, but the cost of continuing to provide statewide high school sports coverage made that model unsustainable. Calling it “hopping on the bandwagon” to make money off locals simply isn’t an accurate characterization. In fact, we’ve intentionally kept the cost of a ScoringLive subscription well below what has become typical for subscription-based sports coverage. The goal is to make continuing this coverage financially sustainable while keeping it affordable for the local community. Whether someone chooses to subscribe is entirely up to them, but without a sustainable way to support the operation, the alternative isn’t unlimited free coverage — its no ScoringLive at all.
Great app 🤙🏽
waste of $
Response from developer
We’re sorry you feel that way, but saying stats haven’t been updated in weeks simply isn’t accurate. Statistics are updated throughout the week as games are covered and information is received. While we can’t provide complete stats for every game across the state, we continue to update the coverage available to us throughout the season.
Bru it used to be free on website
Response from developer
ScoringLive is now subscription-supported, with significantly improved interface and features than our former free website. Subscriptions help us continue covering Hawaii high school sports while keeping the app ad-free.
Trash
Response from developer
Username aside, moving to an app and paid subscriptions allows us to provide a better, ad-free experience with full access to live stats, standings, rankings, Player Tracker, Time Machine and more — with reliable access even on our busiest game nights.
Family Subscriptions
Response from developer
ScoringLive subscriptions are individual. We chose an affordable annual price that averages just over $2 per month, so Family Sharing is not currently offered.
Not the same
As of now, I don’t feel the app comes close to what the website offered. That said, I’m looking forward to seeing how the app continues to grow and improve over time. I’m hopeful it will eventually become just as amazing and valuable as the website was.
Response from developer
Thanks for being a longtime ScoringLive reader. While we understand the transition from a free website to a subscription app is a significant change, we’re a little unclear on the suggestion that the app offers less content or depth. The app actually expands significantly on the website with Time Machine, Player Tracker, favorite team preferences, push notifications, an improved interface and no Lite Mode, while being considerably faster and more reliable on busy game nights. We encourage everyone to take advantage of the free trial and experience the full app for themselves. If there’s something specific from the website you believe is missing, we’d be happy to hear it.
Garbage
Response from developer
ScoringLive continues to provide live scoring and game updates, just as we always have. Subscribers also receive app-exclusive features including personalized preferences, Time Machine, Player Tracker and push notifications. If you’re experiencing an issue with an active subscription, please contact us so we can assist.
The Only Place For Hawai’i HS Sports Scores
Go back to the website
Response from developer
We appreciate that you considered ScoringLive a good website. We’ve invested significant time, effort and resources into becoming an app so we can continue covering Hawaii high school sports for years to come. The app is ad-free, and the subscription is $24.99 per year, helping support the scores, stats and coverage our community has relied on for years.
Everything get subscription now
Response from developer
We understand — a subscription isn’t going to be for everyone, but we’ve put a lot into providing comprehensive coverage of Hawaii high school sports — and a lot more than “just scores” — and we hope those who actually give the app a try will find value in what it offers.
Lose money.
Response from developer
All of the features you mentioned are available in the app. Past scores can be viewed through schedules as well as the Time Machine, teams can be accessed whether they’re playing that week or not, and division-specific views are available through the sport submenus. We also have a Player Tracker feature for following individual athletes. The app provides a navigation tooltip (long press or double click sport tabs to access submenus), and those instructions remain available anytime by tapping the ? help icon. Live scoring is available for games we’re actively covering, while scores and results are posted across the state regardless of whether a game is being scored live.
pay for high school sports box scores
Response from developer
We understand that paying for something that was free for 15+ seasons may feel “rubbah” to some, but we hope you’ll give the app a try and then decide.
Over priced
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. We’d like to clarify that the subscription is $24.99 per year, not per month — about $2.08/month. It also provides access to more than just scores, including schedules, standings, stats and other high school sports coverage. We appreciate the feedback and hope this clears up the pricing and what’s included.
Why
Response from developer
We’re glad you find our live scores valuable enough to want access to them. After providing our coverage for free for more than 15 seasons, subscriptions now help support the time and cost of producing that coverage and maintaining an ad-free app.
Game summary
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback! Live stats have always been available for select games, and we did have live coverage for select games as usual in the opening week. Scoring play updates were also provided throughout the night. Play by play is not currently a feature, but it is something we’re looking to add in the future. We’re continuing to improve our live game coverage and appreciate you following the action with ScoringLive!
