Apple Sports: A free iPhone app to get you the score, fast

The Apple Sports app wants to get you scores, fast. If you know one thing about Apple’s Senior Vice President of Services, it’s probably this: Eddy Cue loves sports. He’s frequent…

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…

@jsnell A bit of a niche of course but a bit disappointing to not see any rugby tournaments there. The rugby six nations is happening at the moment and it's a pity they're not there.

I realise this could be replaced with any other [sport that does not have a certain threshold of international market share]...

@quirogaart Exactly my disappointed and rugby-shaped thoughts!
