Anybody know how to stop live activity automatically activating when one of your "favorited" teams starts a game? I can't find any settings anywhere.
 
still doesn’t track europa league matches & needs an option to not default to stack events in the UI on a given day

I just asked about this in discord and they told me to basically pound sand. Goto settings > TV > show sports scores to off stopped it for me. Every time I unfollowed the team or live activity it never worked… it was really dumb and made no sense it’s like the follow button reset every game.

Don’t understand why if I turned off Hide Betting Odds in Settings why I still see them when I go “into” the matchup details. This isn’t turning them off. I sent this to Apple and I hope they change this.
Also, the app icon is trash.

The simplicity of what made Apple products incredible seems to be failing the further we go.

The App certainly isn't ready for the real world - there are plenty of teams & sports that exist outside the PL, MLB etc.

There are loads of Apps that already offer this type of service the vast majority provide more info & are free. Just do not see the logic for creating something new.....

They need to add College Baseball.

And rugby, cricket, football, baseball in Japan, ski jumping, golf, horse racing, volleyball, table tennis, tennis and snooker. The kid who wrote this garbage in his bedroom over a weekend needs to go back to his studies...

I've already found myself really enjoying this app more than I would have anticipated at launch. Extremely simple, easy to find specific data / stats, and scores update extremely quickly which is helpful to offset the minor delays on streaming TV.
