It doesn’t matter if you charge a monthly subscription or not, that doesn’t excuse poor tech and inaccurate information. Either deliver on what you advertise or don’t. It’s not a difficult concept. The app stalls like a broken down engine and glitches. You have to exit and re enter just to get updated information and there are times when it provides the completely wrong data. ### 4/5 — Fairly Good *2026-08-28, version 26.13.0* The app is very good for following the NFL. I just wish there was an ad-free version you could buy for like $20 and it would also remove the fantasy banners. Some declutter would be nice. ### 3/5 — Flawed but Good App *2026-08-23, version 26.13.0* In the last month or two, the app freezes up when I try to read read user comments after a news story. It’s frustrating. On the other hand, it’s a good sports app that gives me all the info I need. It’s user friendly and outside of giving short shrift to women’s leagues, I rate it higher than the ESPN and CBS apps. ### 4/5 — Good enough *2026-08-23, version 26.13.0* For a Quick Look at what is on it is great app. The only thing missing is Boxing. ### 4/5 — Soccer fan *2026-08-23, version 26.13.0* Great sight. Missing a star only due to the lack of info to where to watch. ### 4/5 — More needed *2026-08-22, version 26.13.0* Can you add doubles tennis ### 3/5 — Missing Volleyball *2026-08-22, version 26.13.0* Great app for the sports it includes, but y’all need to include NCAA volleyball as well. ### 2/5 — Less betting being pushed into my face PLEASE. *2026-08-21, version 26.13.0* Yes, this app is the premier for knowing up to date scores, players subbing in/out, injuries, and sports stories from trusted sources. But all I see all the time is Odds being pushed in my face, in the form of in app notifications while I’m using the app, pushing betting, pushing odds, that’s gotta stop. Yall were great before the sports gambling bs started. ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2026-08-21, version 26.13.0* Very dependable and always up to date ### 2/5 — Content lacking *2026-08-20, version 26.13.0* I really wish there were more full articles. Too many of the stories are just advertising links for podcast videos. I really only use the app now for scores and standings. ### 4/5 — Perfect *2026-08-20, version 26.13.0* Perfect for sports fans I love it keep up with the trades, signings, and games ### 5/5 — All in one place *2026-08-20, version 26.13.0* The Score provides all the stats you need. Analytics before the upcoming matchup, live scoring during the game and post game stats after the final whistle…all in one place. Highly recommend! ### 3/5 — Betting sites in the chat *2026-08-20, version 26.12.0* Great app, one of the better spots apps out there. One complaint, get rid of all the stupid betting site bots out of the chats, it’s very annoying. ### 2/5 — Don’t use chat rooms *2026-08-19, version 26.12.0* Chat rooms are seldom a place to have meaningful conversations about sports. Instead they are filled mostly with trolls and degrading comments that have nothing to do with sports. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-08-19, version 26.12.0* One of, if not the best, for live updates. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dynamic Island *2026-08-30, version 26.13.0* The Dynamic Island doesn’t update on my phone. Just stays at whatever the score was last when I manually updated it. Pretty big waste of time. Reply to response: I get it. I know what the point is. But for me the last game I had set there never updated a single time….so…yo apps trash ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2026-08-29, version 26.13.0* This app is full of racism and it’s pathetic, and the score lets this happen ### 1/5 — Terrible Update *2026-08-28, version 26.13.0* One of the better features they had was being able to go to the current pga golf event and click any of the active players. It would then show you what their scorecard was for each of the 4 days. It has been completely removed. Ridiculous decision. I haven’t used the app much since and am looking for an alternative. ### 1/5 — Terrible Updates *2026-08-27, version 26.13.0* Live scores getting more and more glitched and lag behind. As the app updates it gets worse and worse. Used to be a very insightful site. Times have changed. ### 1/5 — Bots everywhere *2026-08-20, version 26.13.0* The chat is flooded with bots and has been for years, fix the chat and you’ll be 5 stars ### 1/5 — Used to be great. *2026-08-15, version 26.12.0* I made the switch here from Bleacher Report awhile ago. With no more updates for notifications regarding replies, this app has become useless. I like to chat about articles but without any indications for replies now, I have no use for this app. Why did the reply notifications get removed?! Might be uninstalling soon; I can get scores and news elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-15, version 26.12.0* The casino on the app is god damn awful, truly pathetic. Way too early in the apps existence, the betting is cool but the casino is horrible. ### 1/5 — Sneaky Advertising *2026-08-14, version 26.12.0* These roaches think if they trick us in to clicking on an ad by moving down the page right as you are about to click on something else to force you to click on an ad is going to build trust and we are going to like that stinking ad! This dishonest, low life kind of practices only shows how the true creators of this app are! I swear if there was another app as detailed as TheScore, I would switch so fast…. ### 1/5 — Blue Jays articles have pop up fake virus ads *2026-08-06, version 26.11.0* The Score app is good overall. However, some of the articles don’t scroll properly because of pop up videos and advertisements, in particular, blue Jays outside content ### 1/5 — Pretty Liberal *2026-08-04, version 26.11.0* Liberal and Gay now ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best sports app ever *2026-08-31, version 26.13.0* I get notifications from my favorite teams and I look at it every day ### 5/5 — THE SCORE 1 *2026-08-30, version 26.13.0* I’m very happy with the score. Look at it every day keeps me informed of all the games. I love it👍👍 I have reviewed this before I believe it’s the best app for sports in my opinion!! GO BLUE🇺🇸 ### 5/5 — Best sports app *2026-08-29, version 26.13.0* There isn’t a better sports app that exists! ### 5/5 — Simple yet effective *2026-08-29, version 26.13.0* All scores, previews, and reviews in one spot. I also like how they added, how to watch when looking scores. ### 5/5 — Easy access *2026-08-29, version 26.13.0* It's easy for manage ### 5/5 — The score *2026-08-28, version 26.13.0* Great app for sports fans ,, always up to date ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-27, version 26.13.0* I love 💕 it ### 5/5 — 5 stars, but remove the bots now *2026-08-27, version 26.13.0* Fullstar and other random predatory sportsbooks try and promote in here and the app does actually nothing to try and remove them ### 5/5 — Score *2026-08-23, version 26.13.0* My go too! ### 5/5 — Sports *2026-08-22, version 26.13.0* The Best sports App ever! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
