monetization

User feedback indicates that while ads are accepted as necessary for a free app, the increasing frequency, intrusive placements (including pop-ups, autoplay with sound, and ads covering content), and deceptive practices like delayed loading that cause accidental clicks significantly harm usability. Many users find the ads overwhelming, distracting, and disruptive to navigation, with repeated calls for a premium, ad-free option. Overall, monetization through ads is seen as excessive and detracts from the otherwise strong app experience.
- “I would pay a fee equal to the additional revenue to not have the ads.”
- “I don't want to give this app a bad score because it's good but it would be nice if there was a version with no ads.”
- “I would definitely pay for an option with no ads.”
- “I've had this app for many years and it's good but lately every time I open an article, I'm unable to read it completely because there are ads that cover several sentences of the article.”
- “Also, they use the deceptive practice of having ads load slower than other parts so when you go to scroll you actually click the ad that just loaded.”
- “The dev team has crammed so many ads into this app that it significantly detracts from my ability to properly view content without somehow triggering an out-of-app link to view some product that I don't want.”
stability

The app has become increasingly unstable over time, frequently freezing, crashing, and failing to update scores or content, especially since recent updates and the introduction of ads. Users report persistent glitches with the widget, slow loading times, and issues with typing and notifications, making the app often frustrating and sometimes unusable despite its valuable features.
- “For months now it freezes and crashes more than not.”
- “Constantly freezes, can't update any scores.”
- “Since the ads have started, the app freezes every time I try to open it!”

Users find the story aspect frustrating due to frequent issues with news notifications not linking directly to the intended stories and intrusive ads disrupting the reading experience. Additionally, many are annoyed by irrelevant or misaligned content, such as unrelated sports stories dominating prime space, which detracts from their interest.
- “Why is it 80% of the notifications I receive do not lead to the story when selected?”
- “Sometimes when you click on a story it will take you to the main news page instead.”
- “Biggest complaint is the posted story not aligning with the game.”

The optimization of the app has significantly declined, with recent updates causing poor and inconsistent performance, especially on Android. While some users praise its efficient battery usage and smooth experience compared to competitors, many report lag, delayed score updates, and persistent issues without fixes.
- “Way better than ESPN in scores, news, but especially, it doesn't drain your battery, it's a well optimized app.”
- “However, since their big update a few months ago, performance has been abysmal.”
- “In the last year or so, the performance has gone from cream to sour milk.”
- “Poor performance by the folks at score weeks later and still no fix.”

- “More info on teams' positioning in divisions and better game-time tracking graphics.”
- “Easy stats and simple but nice visuals of stat lines.”
- “The new NFL live visuals are awesome!”
- “They're biased against certain NFL teams; when one team scores, they'll show the video highlight of the play for the favored team, but for the other team, all they show are graphic images.”
