Apple today updated its Sports app for iPhone with some changes related to Major League Soccer and Major League Baseball.

The release notes for version 1.5 of Apple Sports indicate that the app now supports Leagues Cup matches between MLS and Liga MX clubs, and the latest version also features an indicator in MLB box scores for pitcher statistics.

Continue to ignore the lower football leagues . This app is a joke compared to fotmob.

Very nice for the 3 countries that can use it.

Tried the update and uninstalled again. What a joke of an app.

This ^ How is it possible that MLS has prominence over CFB (NCAA) in this country (USA). I am happy with both, but the suspicious absence of CFB is indeed strange and frustrating.

I wish the Atlanta Braves could update with some MLB improvements.

 

[bsbeamer]

Still no Apple Watch integration? Almost unbelievable.

 

[turbineseaplane]

Are they trying to make bad Apps?

How can a first party App be this level of "low effort"?

 

[Cheesehead Dave]

Still needs an option to just show the score on the lock screen and not send me an alert every time the batter spits during an at-bat.

 

[ericny523]

How does this app still not have a live updates (Lock Screen widget) feature???

 

[citysnaps]

Looks great!

continues to ignore most of the world, i mean how hard would it be. i prefer forza but fotmob is good too.

 

[Allwordzaremadeup]

You would think a app made by apple would have live activities since it's something they showed off with ios 16 almost 2 years ago.

Pitch count on the pitcher stat section of the box score would be nice too - right now you only see the total for the guy currently throwing.

Mexico has nothing to gain by playing the Leagues Cup, it's a waste of eveyone's time, MLS sucks big time.

… in selected markets

 

[mnsportsgeek]

That’s awesome. FotMob does it way better but thanks for trying, Apple.

 

[jz0309]

I actually like the app and its simplicity, could they have more leagues? Sure, but then it might loose its simplicity…

 

[bigjnyc]

I'm usually all for simplicity and minimalism... But in this case it did not work for me... I deleted this app and went back to Sports Alerts. Have not looked back

...including that low quality and attendance Champions League somewhere in Europe...

Liga mx was better when they competed in the Libertadores in south America. Now all we get are the mickey mouse cups.

Same. Not sure the purpose of this for apple to make a whole app and then neuter in the ways they have compared to other similar sports apps.

 

[emulajavi]

Same as Apple News…. unavailable in most places.

 

[macmyworld]

No idea why Apple is even worrying about a stripped down sports app so many out there and the “updates” are silly.

This app smacks of Eddy Cue, Manchild Sportsball Fanatic, bellowing at some product manager about WHY DON'T WE HAVE A SPORTSBALL SCORES APP?? WE NEED A SPORTSBALL SCORES APP!! So they made one, but he lost interest and wandered off to yell at someone else about getting another Ted Lasso T-shirt because he got ketchup all over his from a hotdog at a sportsball game. Now that poor product manager doesn't know what to do with it.
