| 2024-11-23 |  | | **EDIT: The latest update is a mess. The News tab is way too cluttered. Also, why have scores on the News tab? Bad update.** Easily the best sports app out there. Is it perfect? No it's not. But, scores are updated quickly. News is always new and up to date. Same writers have been there for years so it's nice to see familiar "faces" writing the articles. For a free app, there's not many ads at all which is huge. Only thing I wish is that it was more customizable. |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | CBS Sports making a big move with the new update, all tho the new layout showing scores for favorites on home screen is too cluttered. Also there needs to be a fix for the feature with your favorite teams bar tab. Not showing all your favorites across the top, so you can't check all your favorites schedules & stats, you have to search the teams that aren't showing, making it more difficult. Continue updating & improving for better design improvements.... |
| 2024-11-13 |  | | The app is mostly functional, as you can check scores and read articles easily. Playing highlights and clips is nearly impossible, because you are forced to watch a 30-sec ad first, and then sometimes the video you wanted to watch doesn't actually play. Streaming any kind of live video is a waste of time and rarely works. They publish a very large number of "articles" that are really advertisements trying to get you to subscribe to Sportsline, which is annoying. |
| 2024-11-07 |  | | I really like this app. I like how easy it is to customize what content you see, and I appreciate articles having an estimated read time. However there are a few things that drag this app down. One is that articles aren't always in chronological order, and another is that the 'schedule' tab for soccer teams only includes league matches, rather than matches from all competitions. The last thing is that when I leave the app, and then return, it doesn't always bring me back to the same page. |
| 2024-10-13 |  | | Editing 10/13/24: apparently they did make it worse. The new selection screen for pickem is impossible to understand because the background colors for half the teams is the same black color as the rest of the screen. Accidentally removed my pick for one game because I tried to confirm it and actually unselected the team I picked, and couldn't tell because the color didn't change. The app didn't even let me know that I had a missing pick |
| 2024-09-15 |  | | Way too many notifications, and it ignores my notification settings. For example, I have had notifications for fantasy sports turned off for as long as I can remember, but somehow I get a notification for everything fantasy football related. Also, the hockey notifications are awful. Never received a notification that the Boston Bruins fired their head coach, yet I'm signed up for notifications. Lastly, there is no way to stop in game notifications |
| 2024-09-05 |  | | The picks side of the app is absolute trash! It's been bad and confusing in the past but they updated and made it waaaaaay worse probably the last year we will use it. The other issue is that the league manager should be able to adjust everything specifically names and what is shown. It's sad because at one point this app was much better than ESPN but now it has fallen behind. |
| 2024-08-18 |  | | Great for seeing scores and statistics. They also have a nice team specific X feed and news articles. What's upsetting is how slow and buggy the videos are and the baseball highlights well... skip most of the highlights and when you try to track a live game the plays don't update in even close to real time as presented |
| 2024-08-01 |  | | Tried the sports app again and it's actually worse. Scores not correct. Score section freezes then tries to catch up the next inning. In-game progress falls behind multiple batters on baseball. 90% of sports in the edit to follow category aren't even available once chosen. Better off following sports on ESPN, Yahoo, Draft K, MGM or others. Unfortunate with the best time of year approaching(football) and this app lags so far behind technologically. |
| 2023-09-22 |  | | App used to be tolerable when it opened straight the scores. That's why 99% of people have this app, for the scores! Now, it opens straight into the "News" feed. Waste of time! The news is also stories of sports that I couldn't care less about! I reset the filter. Nope, I still have a bunch of news feed about the bottom of the barrel sports I don't want to see. The new layout is atrocious! 🤦♂️ |
