Apple Sports app promised star potential, but I'm benching it immediately

My guess? It’s 2-3 weeks behind schedule. They wanted it ready for the MLS season start yesterday. So they released the bare minimum, maybe not even MVP, though one could argue a simple scores only app with zero bells or whistles is the very definition of a MINIMUM, though not exactly viable product.

My guess? All of these seemingly basic features will be added by MLB Opening Day.

I haven't had a chance to put it to the test yet since my sport is NBA and my team isn't back from the All Star break until tonight but this sounds like it's not going to be useful at all. Hopefully it's just a case of Apple improving along the way but alas, there's no shortage of sports apps if it stays in the current state for a while.

It's definitely not like the ESPN and Yahoo Sports apps. It's live scores and stats, and nothing more. So if there's nothing going on, then there's nothing there. Like saying "no NFL". Well, there are no live scores. The season is over.

Again NWSL is in the APP and IT"S THE OFF SEASON. You obviously didn't understand my comment.
