On page 3 already and nobody’s mentioned the Sports Alert app. It’s SO much better in every way.

It has Dynamic Island support for games, You can even long press on a game and "follow" it. Are there notifications for games in the Apple app? It looks as though it just pulled any "Sports" info I had saved in the TV App and dumped it in. Was really hoping for something better and a little more robust than what looks like someone built really fast for Eddy Cue.

FYI, for those wanting barebones scores with no ads. Visit plaintextsports.com and setup a weblink as a shortcut on your device.

I downloaded it, but want to know if it supports Live Activities. I have a free app (sports alerts) that does this, but gack, you have to live with ads.
Pay for the no ads. It’s worth it.

This app is pretty pointless so far. It shows me my NHL team has a game, and some very basic stats. But no player information or stats. I get a much better experience through third party apps than this. Hopefully it improves significantly.
 
Don't forget the + button in iMessage, that's also a weird UI design in iOS 17.

Weird in that it's a stark contrast to what was there before. But after a little bit of use, it works well.

As usual Apple thinks that people in the UK only support teams in the Premier League. This is typical of Americans, who always ask me "yes but what Premier League team do you support" when I tell them I support Portsmouth FC. The answer: None of them until Portsmouth is in the Premier League. It's just a fundamental misunderstanding of how UK and US fandom differs. Bad enough that Siri can't tell me the Portsmouth Score, but now a dedicated Sports app that can't do that either?
 
Besides adding the missing sports or any options at all, would be nice to see the ability to follow games or have Dynamic Island support and notifications about game play or close games. All of this just seems to pull from the Sports section of the TV app in a very limited way.
