Apple Sports App Updated for MLB and NCAA's March Madness

Before when I would swipe down I would see upcoming games. Now it's not there anymore. Is this specific to me or did they remove it?

That's what I find so strange about this app. I jumped on it as soon as it came out as I'm yet to find a sports app that supports Live Activities and Dynamic Island that I like.

I'd assumed that this was going to be Apple setting that straight and show off what it could do

Instead we have this hodgepodge that is focused on betting (WTF!) and sends its notifications through Apple TV so they only work if Apple TV knows about that sport. Apple News would make more sense.

You need to check out the app called Sports Alerts. Free with no ads and you can set live activities for a slew of sports, leagues, and teams. And it will show multiple live scores on the lock screen. I had two going last night for college basketball and a NHL game.
 
Still not showing MLB games for me. Then again, it could be because the app doesn't care about Spring Training games.

By swiping down I meant like on the Home Screen. You know you can see the Siri suggestion apps? Under there there used to be the upcoming games.

Ah. What appears when you swipe down on the Home Screen is based on what iOS thinks you'd want to see at the time. It will vary based on your usage.

When I first installed it showed me all the upcoming games of my favorite teams. After the update they disappeared.

I had looked at it before and dismissed it because it doesn't support the sports/leagues I'm interested in

I've just looked again and it still doesn't seem to support lower league soccer in the UK or any of the Rugby

So more sports than Apple Sports, but not comprehensive. But that's only one of the criticisims of AS. The primary one for me is not them not using it to show what _can_ be done with Dynamic Island/Live Activities for the sports it does support.

This literally made me LOL. Oh, Honey...

To answer your question there is a Feedback app and apple.com/feedback

But to truly answer your question Apple doesn't care what anyone wants. Feedback is just a scarecrow they propped up for us to yell our frustrations at.

This app exists because Eddy Cue was hammered one night and wanted his own sports scores app and drunk dialed one of his managers, who assigned it to an intern.

I have a friend that has submitted feedback and Apple has listened to them and added a feature or fixed a bug.
