1. [R15] 5/5 · US Best app for quick scores: Had to delete CBS sports app because they finally broke me. This has simple scores if thats all you want, doesn't add sports you dgaf about (soccer, wnba). You can go to favorite leagues and look at only that league's news. No other sports app lets you control content to this degree.
2. [R51] 5/5 · US Good Stuff: Regardless of any “poor” ratings, this app provides easy info on a broad spectrum of sports. Not sure what transformational are deemed necessary. A good product.
3. [R84] 5/5 · US love this app: best box scores
4. [R115] 5/5 · US Best sports app: Easiest way to see scores and news from all leagues in one place.
5. [R116] 4/5 · US Top sports app: This has got to be one of the best sports apps out there because of all the information and stats that it offers. What I would like to see and what could set it apart from the rest is if it showed expected and confirmed goaltenders for the NHL before games started.
6. [R18] 3/5 · US Good, Not Great!: While I think the Yahoo sports app is one of the better sports apps available for the iPhone, especially if you use Yahoo as your fantasy home (it’s the best), it could be much better. I’d love to see y’all add College Softball, and the teams to the normal coverage as well as horse racing. I also wish there was more user freedom in how things are arranged for our viewing pleasure
7. [R73] 5/5 · US Great sports app! Almost perfect.: I recently stumbled across this app and was very surprised to find almost everything in one place. For me it’s the most complete sports app I’ve found. The first improvement to make it perfect would be to clean up the scores section. It would be nice to change ‘favorites’ section to ‘followed’ so I can quickly add a specific game to my feed rather than to follow
8. [R66] 4/5 · US One suggestion: Overall great app, I like to use the widget to follow my favorite teams on my Home Screen. I would also like to have the option for a Home Screen widget that can follow other major games or leagues that are not in my “favorite teams”
9. [R253] 3/5 · GB Widgets are great but fixtures are showing in app: Widgets are awesome but fixtures aren’t showing in the app even after the recent update
10. [R1] 1/5 · US Yahoo sports: App sucks… can’t go in scores without seeing a dating app about nude women, I’m a female that doesn’t want to see that and neither does/will my husband…will delete app because it refuses to stop ads when we want them stopped!
11. [R4] 1/5 · US Annoying ads: The ads are beyond annoying. There is nothing that makes sense with them and just get in the way. Please at least make them sports related at the minimum
12. [R10] 3/5 · US Great app but too much betting focus: This has been my favorite sports app since before yahoo even owned it (I think it was called sportacular or something like that?) and it’s easily the best one on the App Store in terms of UI. But over time they have added more and more focus on sports betting which is a real shame. They should at the very least provide the option to remove the betting ads from
13. [R29] 1/5 · US Nice and simple app, but ads with audio!? Smh: How dare you interrupt my podcast with a terrible audio track for some bs brain-decaying game. DON’T EVER INTERRUPT MY PODCASTS!
14. [R2] 1/5 · US Stop the score banners!: Deleting this app because I’m constantly getting live score updates on top banner of my Home Screen even when locked, for teams I don’t even follow. All notifications and haptics are turned off and they still show up.
15. [R13] 2/5 · US Tired of it ignoring settings: Why does it change my notification settings update. It won’t even let me change them back without uninstalling and reinstalling it, it seems like EVERYONE single update
16. [R40] 1/5 · US Annoying unwanted news notifications: It feels like every month or so some new notification category pops up in the add with a default to turn ON those notifications for me, so I get some random news about some league I don’t care about. I only want the notifications I’m explicitly asking for: the score alerts I sign up for with teams I follow or for specific games. Stop sending me all of these ot
17. [R54] 1/5 · US Annoying by design: This app will frequently change (or just ignore) your setting for notifications and send you unwanted notifications, often about teams or leagues in which you have no interest. Then you have to change all of your setting the way what them previously. We live in a time when companies (in this case, Yahoo) have no shame or concern about their brand. They’re happy to be a blatant
18. [R20] 2/5 · US Favorite Leagues?: Please provide a way to filter the Scores tab to show only scores from my favorite leagues. What’s even the point of the favorite leagues feature if not that? I don’t want to have to scroll past 5 leagues I don’t care about to see the scores of the ones that I do. So annoying.
19. [R34] 3/5 · US Top tabs aren’t customizable: The leagues on top move around DAILY. Today is NCAAWB championship day and the tab isn’t even on top of the scores page. WHY?!? The first tab is NCAAB then NBA MLB NFL NHL. NFL is not even in season, why does it come before NHL? Why do I have to see 2738 tabs for soccer when I don’t follow it?
20. [R38] 1/5 · US Why do I have to see content for sports I don't care about?: why is it that I have the ability to pick and choose teams and leagues that I care about, yet when I scroll through the news I'm constantly plagued with seeing sports I actually have no interest in let alone despise? I care nothing about the WNBA, NBA, the NCAA tournament (in other words anything having to do with basketball), or countle
21. [R41] 2/5 · US Great app. But needs change: App is great. Love using it over ESPN. I just hate how the app pushes its desired leagues over your favorites. No matter what I do, they make sure to include in the top 3 of my leagues either WNBA, OR NCAAWB, I have never engaged in that sport. But the app pushes its over my desired top leagues. Besides this the app works great. Just the inability to put your favorites
22. [R11] 4/5 · US great but sometimes freezes: I've been using it for years as it's great for tracking many sports. Only problem I have is that it freezes up on a regular basis when I come back to it. I have to close the app and reopen it.
23. [R56] 1/5 · US Not working anymore: Ever since the update seems like the app won’t load.
24. [R57] 2/5 · US Was good but: Lately this app refuses to open. There’s no update, no reason for this to be happening. Very aggravating.
25. [R59] 4/5 · US App crashes: It crashes way too often
26. [R3] 4/5 · US Good but could be better: I like it about the same if not a bit more than TheScore. Yahoo Sports introduced an indicator for a win/lose streak for each team. Problem with this is that there’s no visual indicator for whether it’s a win streak or a lose streak. So while I know that the dodgers are on a win streak, I look at the Mets and think that they’ve done the impossible and not been a complete
27. [R6] 4/5 · US World Cup Start Times: Yahoo having trouble getting the start times right for the biggest event of the year. Mexico Ecuador shown as 9 pm edt for last four days. At 906, it’s updated to 10 pm edt. Not the first time either. Seems like an important detail to get right.
28. [R9] 4/5 · US FIFA Table standings!: England & Ghana are currently at halftime, playing in their 2nd match. Yet once the 0-0 score is posted, the table standings take the result as final. Another example, once the first team of any match scores, the table standings treat this result as final and show a win for the team that scores first. Finally to write this review I had to erase the review I wrote last yea
29. [R44] 2/5 · US Live Scoring Glitches: The H2H live scoring frequently glitches by reverting to what the score was either earlier in the evening, or earlier in the week. Basically, you can’t trust that the matchup score is current. This issue has been going on for weeks. I’ve updated the app to the latest version and there’s no fix to the issue. I have an iPhone 17, so this shouldn’t be a problem with a new phone
30. [R22] 2/5 · US NCAA Baseball: Why is college baseball excluded from yahoo?
31. [R42] 4/5 · US NCAA Baseball & Softball: Your app provides great scores & information on the sports you include. Your biggest gap is lack of coverage of NCAA baseball & softball. Is there any chance you’ll be adding these?
32. [R46] 5/5 · US College baseball: Please add college baseball!!!!
33. [R32] 3/5 · US Won’t let you see all of a story!: I love this app but for some reason it will let you click on a story but if the story is long it w/o let you finish it. The page turns white and you have to back up and try again.
34. [R69] 2/5 · US Glitches during long articles: The app is solid overall but it has two significant issues. First, when reading a long article it will randomly reset and move you backward in the article several chapters. This is far better than the recent additional glitch. Sometimes the app just goes blank and you have to restart the article. It happened multiple times again today and it isn’t limited to one sp
35. [R71] 2/5 · US Problems: I can only read about 2/3 of an article before the reading screen blanked out on me. Please fix this bug.
36. [R7] 3/5 · US Poorly optimized for screen: The latest update reduced the usable screen area to less than a third, with large empty bars on each side, making the actual content small and difficult to read.
37. [R125] 3/5 · US Bad redesign: Put all leagues back on home page where it makes sense. You shouldnt have to go to Scores page to find the league you want. And then it makes you scroll theough list of leagues and you cant find the one you want. Revert back to old layout.
38. [R162] 3/5 · US Yuck: This app used to be good . Then some update happened and now when you try to view stats you don’t know which tab is which because the font is too big. All you see is dots …
39. [R58] 4/5 · US Infuriating bug: Every time I open this app there’s a pop up that prompts me to pick my favorite teams. Every. Single. Time. It’s been like this for weeks. I’m not using this app again until they fix it. Update: seems to be fixed. I will now continue using this app. Lol
40. [R64] 1/5 · US Frustrating to use: Every time I open this app it asks me to choose my favorite teams. Super annoying. I’ll use my other sports app instead of this one. 0/5
41. [R65] 1/5 · US Used to be great: Been using for years, but there’s lots of issues lately. Right now I can’t even use the app: it asks me to “manage favorites” on login every time, but the “done” button doesn’t work, so I can’t use the app. Prior to this, it was asking me to manage favorites each time (with a working done button) which is still annoying because I don’t need to edit favorites frequently. Also, the
42. [R35] 1/5 · US Career Stats: It is absolutely unbelievable that Yahoo Sports cannot do math. Providing players lifetime stats is basic math. It really is not complicated. Career stats have been gone from this app for years. Really mind numbing. I am transitioning to using other sources. If you can’t have this basic stat, how do I trust anything else you do?
43. [R53] 2/5 · US Stats not available: Women’s basketball no longer shows game stats. I tried to report this in the app help section but there was no way to do report it so I guess I have to leave a review.
44. [R141] 3/5 · US Stats football game: Why did they stop posting defensive stats during football games?
45. [R178] 3/5 · US Pitcher stats: Yall need to add the number of home runs a pitcher has given up in their stats
46. [R43] 3/5 · US Widget on iPhone slowww to update: Can’t stop notifications and the widget on the iPhone is slow to update. Fair app at best
47. [R25] 4/5 · US One missing feature: Love this app for sports and information. What keeps this from being 5 stars for me is the inability to sort the leagues from top to bottom by preference. I would like to find the scores for soccer leagues easier rather than prioritizing some American Leagues im not interested in.
48. [R16] 1/5 · US Full of bugs: Do you idiots even use the app?
49. [R26] 3/5 · US Y-Sports: Installed and got a blank screen. Nothing else! I waited … nothing.Finally deleted app and wrote review.
50. [R21] 3/5 · US NBA Stats page: NBA stats page. Filtered to all teams displays top 20. But the list is incorrect. Banchero and Cunningham should be in top 20
51. [R30] 3/5 · US Navigating App is Insane: Navigating this app is crazy - nothing easy to access.
