My first observation upon loading the app is that while it supports many European leagues, it doesn't support the Champions League, so it's telling me Arsenal is idle until Saturday when it actually plays today. Hmm.
If you ever wanted to know what kind of stranglehold the NFL has over American sports, I've already received four comments from people about how a scores app doesn't show NFL scores, less than two weeks after the NFL season finished and six months before it begins.
As my story says: NFL and NCAAF will be there, they're just not there now because their seasons just ended. There are no scores.
Still, if I were Eddy Cue I'd have told my team to let people add their NFL teams now so those fans could happily stare at the black void for six months…
The Devil’s Advocate@jsnell that’s kind of the point. I’ve never seen a sports app that wouldn’t let you sign up for notifications of a team in the off season. Apple has a high bar to climb here because people expect features to be there and this isn’t the only one. Clearly readers aren’t reading, which is par for the course for the internet, but we shouldn’t have to read an article to find that out.
@deviladv okay but that's not my problem as the writer of the article, that's Apple's problem
