1. [R1] 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.
2. [R5] 5/5 · US Simple and almost perfect: Please add Cycling such as the Tour de France. Otherwise great interface with littte distraction. Does what it needs to do without being bloated.
3. [R6] 4/5 · US It’s a good alternative to the ESPN app: I used the ESPN app for years and i did like how it it’s very busy. I understand that they’re trying to provide a lot of information but I feel sometimes it gets too busy. Apple Sports is not perfect either but I really like the simplicity. Sure, sometimes I miss seeing individual player stats but who knows, it could be added later on. However, there are a
4. [R52] 5/5 · US The best way to track sport games: No ads and very friendly UI. The best thing ever!
5. [R7] 4/5 · US Almost Perfect: Love this app. It’s beautiful, and works all the time. Best live activities available in sports. If they can just add the option to see a team’s schedule and previous scores this will be a 5 star review and a perfect app.
6. [R28] 5/5 · US Really easy to use and helpful: I watch the premier league, MLS, Formula One, and NHL and this has all of those in one place. I can easily switch between the different leagues and the live alerts that you can turn on and off are really helpful when im not able to watch a game. I also like how it has the champions league and world cup when they are happening. There are definitely some things that a
7. [R46] 3/5 · US World Cup: I've really enjoyed using Apple Sports. The Live Activities on the Dynamic Island are excellent, and the real-time updates are fast and reliable. One suggestion for improvement concerns the FIFA World Cup. Unlike most leagues, where fans mainly follow one team, the World Cup is a global event that many people want to follow as a whole. It would be great to be able to follow the entire
8. [R4] 5/5 · US Best so far on iOS!: Great organizer for men and woman sports leads you to the actual game and stats and video and overall really amazing. 10/10. Would recommend to download. Doesn’t take so much storage too.
9. [R18] 5/5 · US Amazing design just not enough features: It is missing features that the ESPN app has, but it is designed so well and is free
10. [R12] 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
11. [R22] 3/5 · US Decent App: Needs pro cycling.
12. [R37] 2/5 · US No Indian sports: Good app and nice UI, but those app is very US centric and ignores sports watched by one of the largest populations in the world, cricket. Please include ICC cricket World Cup matches and IPL matches in the app.
13. [R11] 1/5 · US Doesn’t have All info: 365Scores & FotMob are way better and provide more information. btw, it is FOOTBALL not Soccer
14. [R13] 4/5 · US Great App, but Needs More Detailed Stats: Apple Sports has a very clean, modern, and easy-to-use interface, which makes following live scores a great experience. However, there are a couple of improvements that would make the app much better. It would be great if users could tap on players in soccer lineups to view detailed information such as season stats and performance. Also, adding the abili
15. [R15] 5/5 · US Very simple: Be nice to see player and team stats to make it the only sports app I need
16. [R44] 3/5 · US Needs some work: I think this really needs some additional info to be a one stop shop. It should be easy to see standings, player info, and schedules.
17. [R2] 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
18. [R34] 1/5 · US Worthless: How does this app just decide I'm no longer going to see upcoming matches for random leagues/teams? I thought it was weird that after yesterday's world cup games there were none today. I checked again this morning just to make sure and there were no FIFA games, only baseball. Well imagine my surprise when I'm watching YouTube and there are highlights for two games they already happened
19. [R71] 2/5 · US Has some bugs: It automatically stops following games the second kickoff starts and it is hard to look at brackets and some blank spaces just spawn in like a <div> that’s supposed to hold an ad. This needs at least one update PLEASE. Apart from that MAJOR flaw, it’s very good.
20. [R81] 1/5 · US Unreliable Slop: The app randomly forgets what you follow, misses broadcasts and matches, often is overly delayed and generally seems to be a slop developed software embarrassment. Absolute rubbish.
21. [R73] 2/5 · US Delay updating World Cup: The app should be updating brackets faster. It takes a while to get it updated after the end of each match.
22. [R95] 3/5 · US It’s amazing, but I noticed a problem today: Anyway, the game has ended as of now, but it’s been for like an hour over but it’s still saying the game is going on and it’s the ninth inning one strike on my live activities so that just started today so if it happens any longer, I’ll report it (edit it’s been happening a lot more)
23. [R101] 2/5 · US Timing: I am getting score change updates ahead of what I am seeing on the game live. Not just a little before, several plays before I see the goal being scored. That’s frustrating. Other than that, I like the functions and options with this app for the World Cup.
24. [R107] 1/5 · US Lags behind giving delayed score updates: Lags and glitches giving delayed score updates. It also strangely Accumulates a lot of data as you use the app. You can’t save anything other than favoriting a few teams or leagues so why is it accumulating all this saved data In gigabits?!?!
25. [R23] 5/5 · US Good: Simple interface that do one thing good “display the score” which is all that matter. No iPad version though
26. [R27] 4/5 · US Great app: 5stars if there were an iPad version.
27. [R33] 2/5 · US Needs an iPad friendly version: Just like it says.
28. [R64] 1/5 · US Not support ipad: Not support ipad，So ****
29. [R145] 1/5 · US Can’t control notifications: Please fix this. I don’t understand how it’s possible to not control notifications.
30. [R224] 2/5 · US Basic settings are missing: This STILL HASN’T BEEN FIXED. Please allow for delayed scoring notifications! This app lacks the ability to turn off notifications for games that are currently enabled in live activities. I don’t want to remove a game from live activities I just don’t want to get notifications for big plays or scores since most tv streaming is seconds behind this app and the notifica
31. [R244] 1/5 · US Notifications galore: Nice simple app and interface. Unfortunately there's no option to stop notifications every time my team scores. Gets old after a while. Removing.
32. [R26] 1/5 · US Surprisingly bad: Apple can’t make an app that works and if they do, it’s to line their pockets with more greed! The bet zone in app is a sure sign. Junk app
33. [R43] 1/5 · US Disappointed: Such a well designed app, very disappointing to see the “draft kings” odds on the games. Apple is basically co-signing the equivalent of a cigarette company
34. [R103] 3/5 · US Betting odds are unnecessary: Love the app and its UI, but I hate how it displays betting odds for the games. It’s disappointing to see them on an official Apple app.
35. [R25] 3/5 · US Needs Professional Cycling coverage: This app has some of my very favorite sports: football, soccer, baseball, college football, but I follow all the Grand tours and it’s disappointing it’s not covered.
36. [R3] 4/5 · US xG: love the app but please add xG for soccer
37. [R38] 3/5 · US Technical problem: There is sometimes in the application when entering the quilifiers a sudden exit, please solve it
38. [R239] 1/5 · US Can’t turn off notifications to Apple Watch: If your watch is a little older, like mine, this is convoluted to impossible, and requires a treasure hunt through the watch app menu. Why not have a feature, right there within *this app*, to turn off notifications to devices??? Too bad - seems like a great app otherwise.
