This looks nothing like the iOS version…

Even ScoreCenter gets rid of the bottom icon navigation and replaces it with top-mounted Holo tabs. You’re off your rocker.

Hey there @Legobricke. Thanks for the feedback! A new widget is coming with the ability to see multiple leagues scores. Alert tone customization is coming in a future release as well. Glad to hear you have been a user for a while, we appreciate the support and the feedback.

More like they are both iphone style. Don’t fool yourself…both companies made their apps for the iOS first, and they look almost identical. ESPN even has remnant garbage come up while loading a particular game, just before the actual stats show up.

It’s sad that neither company gets it yet. They still just want to port their iOS apps to Android, with a few minor tweaks.

Sportacular IS the joke. It’s unusable.

How about sliding left to right to access the menu? I hate having to reach the top of the bar to access my teams.

@ab065f22b9d74becbe17b543656bb224:disqus – Hi there, Kenny from theScore app team here. We added the ability to sync a team’s schedule straight to your calendar with the most recent update for Android 4.0 and up. In order to do this, Google requires us to ask for these permissions. This is a feature that we’ve had a bunch of requests for, and this was the only we could add it in to the app.

So I guess I’m the only one that has concerns with the updated app permissions? Like the fact it can read and access every single calendar event across any of my accounts on my device?

Or the fact that it needs access to review, read, and discover any account on the device?

Why the hell does this app need to do this and mine all of my data? This is a giant red flag and I will not be installing this app again.

Hi Sofia, not really sure what you mean by “device”. Do you mean widget? If so, we are currently developing an additional widget that has similar functionality to the previous ScoreMobile one which allows you to add multiple leagues’ scores to the widget.

Those are both great, but they’re 2nd and 3rd behind Thuuz.

Like the new look…. would love to see the following items added: Resizable widget (Nexus 7) / Widget that not only includes all scores for sports chosen (My Teams) but also for the 5 or 4 sports I have listed first in the overall settings./ also the ability to chose an alert tone for notifications (either by team or overall). I have been a user of ScoreMobile back to the Blackberry days and love the app. Thanks for the much needed update!

More like they are both Holo style. They also both have their own look too.
