Customer Reviews

• Good updates, but doesn't display tennis scores very well.

  by Mr Neanderthal

  I follow tennis quite abit on here, as I know it's not the main major sports that it follows well. It's doesn't show all tennis scores much of the time. More tennis please!

• Average

  by Pat G 621

  Honestly I liked this app much more before the major update. Once you open it you have to wait and refresh it to get the latest scores. Ads are also a pain, as they are placed in the middle if the screen and over real scores.

• The best sports app !!

  by Njrox81

  Its by far the best sports app available

  by Cariv

  All my sports in one place!

  by Nagem Yellehs

  Always up to date, and accurate times etc love it.

• Much improved app!!!

  by iMacNe

  Much improved app!!!

• Random Updates

  by Kyllwry

  Great App other than the occasional random update you get that is completely incorrect. Throws you off at first but then is usually corrected.

• Ok But..

  by William Woodall

  But really? You have to sign in just to follow a team!

• If u love sports u gotta have it

  by The hitness

• Great

  by Phillayballa

  App

• Good sports source - latest changes were a downgrade

  by Hockeyrunner

  Don't really like changes. Too much clutter. Slower. Preferred previous format

• Best of the Best

  by CalebsPapa

  Never look a gift horse in the early bird catches the going gets tough the tough gets the grease. Fortune favors the bold and the restless. No man is an island, but when in Rome the pen is mightier than two wrongs don't bite the hand that actions speak louder than if it ain't broke then practice makes too many cooks in the kitchen.

• Crashes frequently on refresh

  by jdhardie

  Overall the app is good but seems that every time I launch it crashes on refresh.

• Slow!

  by Reynaldo15

  My favorite app but so slow on my iPhone 4. I know my phone is old but it should be more compatible since many people still have this phone.

• Great app

  by Blixt1978

  Great app. I wish it let me re arrange the sports tho. And also I wish it was easier to swipe between the articles.

• Great app

  by Coledasmole

  Let's me follow all of my favorite teams easily

• Awesome!

  by Mike Kelly

  Great app! Always keeps me up to date on my favorite teams and sports! Loved the latest update on it as well! Only getting better! Thanks ESPN and Apple App Store!

• I miss the old app

  by Moeskipeen

  The old version with the black background was just faster, easier to navigate and more pleasing to the eye. I miss it and am close to looking for a new app.

• Great

  by Gnkjff

  Love it

• Where is the old score center

  by Go STL Cardinals

  Bring back the old score center. This site is too hard to navigate through and I can never find what I'm looking for. The old score center site was so much better. One star at the most!

• Figure it out.

  by Jesse Peri

  Sends out Olympic spoilers when you are not signed up for Olympic news or breaking news. Because of this, I will now be a proud supporter of CBS Sports.

• this app is bad.

  by Cars Bow

  it doesn't load the accurate scores, and it's slow as a turtle in molasses when if it does try to load. bah humbug!

• No

  by Robby1243

  I like the last version much better.

• Bad changes

  by Seaway45

  Too slow old ones way better I hope they change it

• Better design but way too many bugs

  by Jmljmljml

  This app is not launch ready coming from a big company like ESPN. WAY too many bugs. 2 stars only because when it works it's a big improvement on the previous UI. Crashes all the time. An embarrassment

• Dissapointing

  by IDF1

  I used to use this app multiple times a day but I don't anymore. I now check other apps and the regular espn website because it's more user friendly while this version is annoying and not as appealing. It is slow to load and not informative enough as the old one.

• Keeps getting worse

  by WhalesMangina

  Becoming less user friendly with each update. Will probably switch to a better app if that trend continues. I hardly use it anymore.

• Slow

  by austinrneal

  I liked the app before it recently upgraded. Now it is just so slow!!!

• Updates don't work

  by Junknation

  I started using this since the text updates can no longer be added.... However the updates from the app don't work. I've emailed support but got no answer to date.

• Keeps getting worse

  by Tallulah Cornelius

  With every update this app somehow gets worse. Keep up the good work.

• Basically useless on iPhone 4

  by Jacob Ekhoff

  Unbelievable how bad the app runs on the 4. I can't even get it to refresh when opened so there's really no point in using it. It's more worth my time to look up the score on my phones browser than to use the app. App Store should seriously consider allowing users to give 0 stars Because this app is deserving of that score with the amount of time I've wasted on it.

• This update helped a lot

  by Chriis_M

  Great app, if there were no ads it would be the best. Also I think it could be alot faster

• Great

  by Homeboy2891

  Great app

• I want the old app back!

  by Bgbaumer23

  What made them think it needed an upgrade? Don't fix what's not broken!

• Scores don't update

  by KSU125

  I use Yahoo's sports app now

• Good but crashes and lag

  by Eflopez9123

  Tends to crash when viewing favorite team's scores and up coming games. Please fix it; it's annoying on a 5S.

• Why

  by Anderson 815

  Why did I get a alert for a finished game that's still underway?

• Score Center was better

  by Max Spiegel

  Mobile content demands a certain utilitarian approach. I feel that they inappropriately sacrificed some of the finer qualities and usability of the Score Center app for an ultimately superficial aesthetic achievement. Suits and salesmen were behind this and not users, fans and nerds. It likely generates more revenue and they call it a success. Restated, they Microsofted (better for them) when I would have preferred they Appled (better).

• Nice

  by Evito1295

  Need a better interface.

• Slow to update

  by Mcr231

  I had enough of the slow score updates. Open the app has old games, outdated scores. Old app was great this one had nice features but I want to see scores immediately not sit and wait for it to update every time. I just downloaded yahoo sports. Done with this junk app.

• nice apps

  by Jon Elgincolin

  i like this apps very fast and reliable

• Futbol

  by Sleepy buckeye

  Great source to keep on top of my international futbol.

• Sports center

  by CUSEfan12

  This is a great app It keeps me updated on my favorite teams and sports!

• Awful

  by Plumbcat

  Terrible

• Upgrade failure

  by V a s

  New format / upgrade is more like downgrade. Score updates are slow, ads everywhere, interface is disjointed no flow, difficult to navigate. Really miss the older format. Have been giving this app a chance to possibly correct what seems to be obvious flaws but after a few updates...still no go. I'll be looking for a different app for sports scores, news and schedules. Too bad this is Sportscenter and should be held to higher standards, but in all reality they are slipping overall tv, web and app

• Don't like it

  by sweet hollywood

  Like the old App better video crashes and none of my alerts work anymore for my favorite teams

• Best sports app

  by Luis R Jr

  Period!

• Best app ever in the sport world

  by Dasanian

  Love the interface. Easy access to my favorite sport team, the stats, player profile, standing, video highlight. Unbeatable!

• Works Great!

  by Floyd7788

  No issues, refreshes quickly.

• Love it

  by Ash10507

  Use it multiple times a day. Love the breaking news.

• Nice

  by MaxMan413

  Works great!

• No good

  by Chespn

  Go back. New version is not good.

• SO SLOW

  by Chasegator

  Good concept with the update... TERRIBLE execution! It is unbearably slow! Gotta GET IT FIXED soon guys! Come on

• Go back to score center

  by Califliridian

  It's so slow and requires so much more work to get the same results. A big downgrade

• New format is terrible

  by Gandalf ho

  This app used to be so much better. Format was so much easier to navigate. Not to mention kinks/bugs with the new format.

• Garbage

  by Swaggycp

  I used to love this app now I hate. The last 2 or 3 updates made the app really bad

• Works well

  by Sapp898

  My only qualm with this app is the increased frequency of random glitches after the last update, which was supposed to fix the past glitches.

• Does it's calling

  by A~Dub1986

  The app lives up to its expectations! I keep track o the teams that I follow and get updates on scores as the game is played. I like the fact I can set the alert for when a game starts and so on. I enjoy the team updates and the major stories that are available through this app. I only use this app to follow certain teams and occasionally catch a big game that I would normally miss because of work.

• Bad layout

  by Yenlar

  Bad layout. Crashes. Score don't update. Lags way behind the game. Gets stuck loading ads.

• Good but glitchy at times

  by Fs2323

  Good improvement overall.

• Like it

  by Andrew Franger

  Love the way u can create a list of favorites

• Awesome

  by Gmarine83

  About time espn got it right

• T

  by TomR24

  So slow at loading stats

• Great app for sports.

  by DMF ROACH

  Download this app for any sport you follow. Great job.

• The old app was much better

  by Jttfhurfhjdf

  The app is laid out poorly and it looks cheap. To many ads. Looks like ESPN sold out. Go back to the old version.

• New changes make glitchy

  by Ric4567

  They did a 100% revamp and new version is mega glitchy. Spams me all the time with news I don't care about. My team lost and it told me 7 times the next 3 days.

• Unfortunately getting worst ......

  by Superman1082

  To bad they don't care what we rate them but every update just gets worst, I hope for the best and then they disappoint like always.

• Almost perfect, but...

  by ejrocksthisworld

  Don't notify me of sports I don't have listed as important to me. I don't care about the NHL, as one of many examples, so don't send me notifications about the NHL when I have that shut off!

• It's good app

  by Yourdadsmomsuncleabrother

  Best app for sports but it randomly crashes sometime. fix that pleasd

• Slow loading

  by Scott.m10

  The app loads slowly. And refreshes even slower.

• Great app! Better than any sports app

  by Keith1233

  This is the best sports app I've ever used! Very easy to use and can retrieve a lot of information with ease! Love it and will never delete it! Keep up the good work!

• Yup!

  by The backstreet boys

  Keeps me up to date with all sports!

• Nice look, bad features

  by Kramerific

  I like the new look, but too many changes to options, features, menus. Also, when I click a bottom category (like favs or sports) the new page opens with scores from the last time I opened it and then changes after a few seconds. Also, I liked being able to pick favorite sports not just fav teams.

• Amazing

  by Ruffindude

  Any time i want to know about a sports game, its there

• Splendid!!

  by Squidward Jones

  This application of mobile electronics is just delightful! #splendidtits

• Anghh

  by Cristoballa

  A bit wonky

• Good App

  by Del23

  I like

• Awesome

  by Refwolf6513

  This app has it all.....scores news keeps track of favorite teams and notifications

• Looks good, crashes too much

  by WeAreCSU

  I enjoy the new interface but it crashes maybe 30% of the time and some oft favorite teams don't update as quick as they used to.

• Keep up the good work!

  by JoePG

  Love ESPN!!!

• Took some getting used to, but now LOVE it

  by MystMrQ

  Now that I'm comfortable with all the controls and shortcuts on this app, I love it. Took some getting used too, but worth the effort.

• No improvement

  by Kitkat6174

  The last version was fine. They added more ads, and thusly it takes too long to load and doesnt keep up with real time. Plus the alerts keep changing on their own.

• The Best

  by lezhjani

  Can't live without it , the best !!!!!

• Ok

  by Steve's Ears

  While the update is nice I can't find a place to adjust updates. I mean I don't need an alert to tell me when a PAC-10 game is starting.

• Crashes all the time.

  by livelikecoldhardwant

  I miss the old app. It never crashed, always had CURRENT scores and never was this glitchy or slow.

• Alright but for the ads...

  by Rated RconO

  Ads always load up on scores. Other than that it's great.

• Excellent App

  by MacinSteve

  Good app. Very useful. Seems stable.

• this stinks

  by Kan1034

  old version was so much better. this one is so slow and always crashes.

• Eh...

  by WAM087

  Gets me what I need but the adds are awful and stalls out at times...

• Just got worse

  by Chalky pit

  Never updates! Just doesn't work. Got worse since last update! Not Happy!

• Espn crashapp

  by Oskareru

  This is the worst version of the app. Crashes a lot and it was easier with the old versions.

• ESPN

  by Aquí en PR

  Lousy

• App-tastic!!!

  by 41cp

  It's the app that apps the app to the app.

• Love this app

  by Tank242

  Nice app

• It's Growing On Me

  by FFEMT33

  I initially hated this app after the overhaul, but I'm starting to come around. With that said, I would still take the old version any day of the week. For this version, I like that I'm able to click on teams to see their schedule, news, etc. However, I really miss how I was able to keep track of my favorite teams on the ScoreCenter app. It's a distant memory now, so I don't recall why I liked it so much, but I just remember that it was much friendlier than this. For sports other than the NFL, I'd really like to be able to see game results and schedules by the week. There are times when I want to look up a past game and I can remember the general time frame it was played, but not the exact date, and going day by day is time consuming.

• The best

  by John_Mark

  Only sports app I use.

• Thumbs up

  by Everett Hughes

  Great app!

• Best Sports App Available

  by charles gray

  I really enjoy the up to the minute Scores and News
