You know that feeling you get when you see that a team you hate loses? That little jolt of joy you get when you find out you missed it when Duke lost in an upset? Or that Dallas choked again in the 4th? Or Boston gave up a lead in the 9th? This app is dedicated to giving you those alerts when teams you hate lose, and ONLY when they lose. Checking the scoreboard is dangerous. You open an app, see your rival is winning by 20, and suddenly your mood is 20% worse. Why do that to yourself? They Lost! strips away the clutter. It is a precision tool for the dedicated sports hater. How we fix your sports feed: You pick the teams: NFL, NBA, MLB, or NCAA. We watch the score: We monitor the games in the background. We filter the noise: If they win, you'll never hear from us. We deliver the goods: When they lose, you get a notification instantly, along with snarky GIFs and celebrations. It’s simple, it’s petty, and it’s free. Stop doom-scrolling the scoreboard. Let They Lost! do the work for you.
