1. [R10] theScore 1/5 · US terrible ads: Every time I open the app there's inappropriate ads and if I accidentally click on it, it takes me to the app store to download the app connected to the ad. I would leave zero stars if I could.
2. [R16] theScore 1/5 · US Was great until videos and ads: Great app, until recently they decided to auto play videos with ads so it shuts off my music when I’m checking scores. Apple sports is better
3. [R22] theScore 1/5 · US Lame app. Junk bet site!!: Started out great, then the greed took over, now Full of ads and spamming! Dismal user interface! App is so cluttered with ads that app is useless!! Should change name to thebet.
4. [R28] theScore 2/5 · US Ads: I understand Ads keep the app free, but can you limit them so they’re not so many? Too distracting!
5. [R3] theScore 3/5 · US Was good, too many features now: Good app overall, a bit slow, feels like the jammed in as many features as possible which makes it more clunky. It also drains battery tremendously fast now after some recent updates so will be looking for a different app. Literally drained 5% of my battery in 6 minutes the other day, so absurd. I just need the score, I don’t need chat, live updates, fancy play-by-
6. [R12] theScore 3/5 · US Too much gambling info: Great app regarding scores, sports news, and all that good stuff. -2 stars because there is way much content geared towards gambling. I wish there was just a setting to toggle off all gambling related info so only useful content was shown.
7. [R31] theScore 1/5 · US Dont want the smoke: All trash parlay boosts with horrible requirements because they know I'll take them to the cleaners with anything else 😂 SIUUUUU
8. [R6] theScore 3/5 · US Score: Was great until a few weeks ago when the score showed nothing, blank scoreboard
9. [R21] theScore 3/5 · GB Stats not working: Just got updated and now no stats come up on football, all on Zero !!!
10. [R43] theScore 1/5 · US Crashes: App crashes and black screen. Don’t bother replying. Your meta software is programmed to respond with general comments . Your app sucks now
11. [R4] theScore 2/5 · US Odd changes made: With the recent revamped look, comment notifications are missing and there’s no way to find them
12. [R25] theScore 2/5 · US The live is out of sync: The scorecast is slow and you get updates on what’s happening from the score before the live cast updates. It makes that feature useless. I think this app is garbage until they fix that.
13. [R34] theScore 2/5 · US Can’t even see the game log history: Pass feb 2026 u can’t see what pitchers or players have don’t anymore for that I’m deleting the app had it for years that upgrade was a down grade
14. [R1] theScore 1/5 · US Awful Articles: Bad , too many articles on female assaulter Conor McGregor . They delete comments if you criticize female assaulters. Shame and lame. I’d give zero stars if I could.
15. [R7] theScore 1/5 · US The Score isn’t a sports app. Racist, sexist, antisemitism and hatred.: The Score is not a sports app. It’s a mouthpiece for racist, sexist, antisemitism and hatred! I’ve reviewed this each of the past 4 months. Nothing changes, even though the controllers claim to be concerned. Total joke that they claim to have a 4.8 rating. Trash, trash, more trash! Goodbye for good. Deleted!
16. [R9] theScore 3/5 · US Political Ads: Love the App but these Trump Ads need to go!
17. [R13] theScore 2/5 · US No Tour de France coverage: No Tour de France coverage
18. [R51] ESPN 1/5 · US Worst App: I bought the subscription for a month to see Wimbledon. The streaming stopped working so many times. I reset everything and I still have the same problem. I wish I could rated 0 star. Let me mention that the other apps on my Samsung TV work fine.
19. [R55] ESPN 5/5 · US The greatness of ESPN: Dear ESPN, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ESPN app delivers an outstanding sports experience with a clean, intuitive interface and exceptionally reliable coverage. Live scores update seamlessly, breaking news is timely and comprehensive, and the personalized features make it effortless to follow my favorite teams and leagues. The streaming quality is consistently excellent, and the app strikes
20. [R59] ESPN 3/5 · US App Crashing: I like the app, and it’s easy to use. The issue with it though is that it will randomly crash while I’m reading an article. Happens too often and I don’t experience this with my other apps. If it weren’t for this I’d give it 5 stars.
21. [R60] ESPN 1/5 · US Broken app: Every time I try and read article, or anything else, I get about five sentences in and the app tries to break itself. It will either send me to the home page, switch to some random article, or gray screen. The app has been completely unusable for the last month. I’ve had the app for multiple years and just uninstalled it.
22. [R65] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Bad Update: The new update makes the app look like social media, not an app that actually has articles with sports stories along with the scores
23. [R66] CBS Sports 5/5 · US Good: It’s fun to watch games on here umm yeah it’s good but developers pls respond to me I just think it’s cool lol
24. [R70] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Just ok: The app falls short for minor sports such as wrestling, volleyball and golf. The coverage is weak for many women’s sports, too.
25. [R75] CBS Sports 5/5 · US Sports: Love CBS
26. [R79] Bleacher Report 2/5 · US Ads: I’ve used this app for years but recently I can’t even use it anymore because I’m not getting so many ads on it that I can’t navigate the app. It’s filled with pop-ups and anytime I try to read anything or just navigate the app it’s redirecting me to a third party site. It’s giving off the feel of an unsafe website that will lead to viruses. It’s a shame that the app has gotten to this point.
27. [R83] Bleacher Report 5/5 · US Goated: Been using this app for over 10 years, great way to keep up with all ur fav teams across all the diff leagues
28. [R84] Bleacher Report 3/5 · US Ads getting worse: I feel like the ads are starting to get worse. It’s starting to be a task just to look at one article, and have to scroll past 15 ads. Please figure something out.
29. [R85] Bleacher Report 1/5 · US Racist, Sexist App: This app is an absolute disgrace to sports fans. Racist, sexist, Antisemitism, political bullying is the norm! Reporting to content creators does not matter! Bleacher Report has no credibility when it comes to authentic sports reporting! Time to DELETE for good!
30. [R94] The Athletic 4/5 · US Wimbledon: Great app but shocked there’s no Wimbledon coverage. It’s not even listened in scores. Went to check when some of the matches were and couldn’t find it. I would suggest adding tennis for the 4 major events. Otherwise great overall coverage.
31. [R95] The Athletic 3/5 · US Logging On: Tired of being asked to subscribe or sign in when I already have a subscription. May cancel because of this inconvenience. Too many other options for sports news.
32. [R96] The Athletic 1/5 · US Biased Reporting: Includes too much liberal leaning politics into sports stories. Useful only if you follow a few big city franchises.
33. [R97] The Athletic 4/5 · US What happened to Live Activities on lock screen and dynamic island?: It was displaying Paraguay France World Cup live activities on the lock screen then stopped. what happened? how do you control this feature from within the app? it looked NICE. i want to turn it on but there’s no control that i can find in app. i have live activities both switched on for the app in system settings.
34. [R107] Apple Sports 1/5 · US Can’t follow upcoming games?: When I see an upcoming game that I want live activities for, I click “Follow” for that game, but then nothing ever pops up on my screen when the game starts. I go back into the app, and the game isn’t being followed anymore. It seems I can only get live activities for games if I start following them AFTER the game has already started. What is the point of that? Ever
35. [R108] Apple Sports 4/5 · US Unbelievably Good: Apple really killed this. No ads, no news pushing like ESPN or other apps like Bleacher Report, and the live events are awesome. My one gripe is that it needs more sports! I would love a college baseball section. Great design work as well: the app is very pretty to look at, while also being easy to read quickly to get a sense of what’s going on.
36. [R109] Apple Sports 3/5 · US Variedad: En Ecuador falta agregar el torneo Copa Ecuador y para interés de toda Sudamérica falta agregar Copa Libertadores y Copa Sudamericana
37. [R110] Apple Sports 1/5 · US Doesn’t have All info: 365Scores & FotMob are way better and provide more information. btw, it is FOOTBALL not Soccer
38. [R18] theScore 3/5 · GB Leagues missing: The fact that it doesn’t have the NWSL yet is kind of a joke… lack of women’s leagues on here is glaring
39. [R19] theScore 1/5 · US Doesn’t Know WC: TheScore doesn’t know the World Cup from a water closet. Hint: IT’S IN NORTH AMERICA. Trash app.
40. [R36] theScore 3/5 · GB Good app: Ability to keep up with all my favorite teams. Could be expanded to include additional sports
41. [R11] theScore 5/5 · US Best app for following live sports: I’ve found this to be the best app for following live sports, tracking your favorite teams, and keeping up to date with major news of the day. I love that the developers are constantly updating it with new features and improved user interface. Whether following a game play by play or customizing your home teams page to your preferred layout, this is #1 in my boo
42. [R23] theScore 5/5 · US Review: Gives me the correct score in real time I like that.
43. [R48] theScore 5/5 · US BEST SPORTS APP: It has the scores from all the games reminders of when they start and even all the notifications for every sports.
