"What are your favorite sports apps?"


  

          


Interestingly enough, I don't have the MLB, NFL or NBA apps.

I have ESPN, Yahoo Sports, CBS Sports and Fox Sports.

Since we're not getting the Rays on TV, I like ESPN's game tracker for baseball. I like how Fox lays out & explains the odds & the lines. Yahoo has convenient notifications and it tracks my fantasy players too. CBS and ESPN do the best job of covering the WNBA.

I could probably stand to cut back on some of the notifications I get from them though.

What apps do you guys use and what do you like or dislike about them?

I don't really watch games on my phone or ipadm but the NBA league pass app is pretty smooth.

You cats have echoed what I've heard from a lot of other people. I've been stubbornly staying away from it but I may have to fold and give it a shot.

Thanks for the recommendation.

SO much content. I started subscribing during the pandemic and kept it going.

... you'll love it. Good beat coverage for the major sports. Podcasts without commercials. And they offer both off-beat, humorous stories along with personal interest-type content.

you can organize the app to deliver you content that's relevant to you - by your favorite sports and teams - and THEN that content is extremely well written.

has been for years. I get all my alerts on breaking sports news from them. They are better than the ESPN, in every way.

It's an ad free open source podcast client for Android.

An alternative possibly ad free version of YouTube, legal of course, that I will not name.
