The Apple Sports app has its issues, but it’s also a pretty solid option if you want a simple, clean app to see how your favorite team ruined your weekend this time around. Apple has been constantly updating and improving the iPhone-only app in recent months, and now it has another update ready to go, specifically targeting a few sports.
Those sports are the NBA and NHL, and Apple’s App Store release notes say the update only applies to the upcoming playoffs. The notes say fans of the two sports will be able to follow “every match with added details on every series and more.”
With the playoffs set to begin on April 20th, this update is timely, but playoff support isn’t the only reason sports fans should consider downloading this update.

According to those release notes, this Sports update also includes “stability and performance improvements,” though we don’t know what that actually means yet. We’ll be testing the app to see if these changes fix any of the issues we’ve found with the app so far.
As for existing support, the Sports app offers scores and more for MLS, MLB, NBA, WNBA, NHL, Premier League, NCAA Basketball and many more and of course it’s free.
Want to try the Sports app? You can download it now from the App Store. Those who already have the app installed can also download the update, while anyone with automatic updates enabled may already be using it.
