What does this app do that CBS Sports app or The Score app can't do? Show a score on the lock screen? And do they just show one game or an entire scoreboard for multiple leagues? I mean for me, it's two taps to open CBS Sports or The Score to get to all the scores for all the leagues I have set up as favorites. I'm just trying to understand. Thanks.
will be on the lockscreen and the island. It will show the score and the time left. Sure it's a couple of clicks away but you don't need to do anything it will be on the bottom of your lock screen. You don't need to go into the app to go in touch with games. Even better on 14 pros AOD as well
sports alerts is my go to sports app as will have all my favourite sports with one swipe.
What is the refresh rate now and what will it be with this on?
Seeing people on here who don’t understand what “live” means in software is amusing. I’m glad that there are devs here that are willing to calmly explain it.
If someone doesn’t score for 30 minutes, it’s not worth the computational energy or the battery stress of checking a server every second to see if they have, it’s much better to just let the server tell you that someone scored. Apple throttles apps so that they are not pushing data to the live activities too much (therefore decreasing battery life, similar to widgets) but this option lets you personally increase the amount of updates developers can do in a set amount of time.
