Apple users: give us a calculator on iPad.
Apple: best we can do is a bare bones sports scores app, and iPad you're not getting it either.

Yeah I didn't see table-tennis, equestrian events, water polo.....
Jesus. They went with some sports first and will add more sports later. Talk about getting frothy for no reason.
EU probably would've forced them to cover senior citizen cricket independent leagues or face a fine.
Don't Spanish countries usually dub movies/shows? In the Netherlands only content for children gets dubbed, everything else gets subtitled. Might explain the difference.
Weird that I can see upcoming NBA games but not upcoming MLB games in spring training. Besides just missing features, it’s just missing data.
seems like everything except iPhone (and maybe Vision Pro this year) is the red-headed stepchild Apple ignores and gives the bare minimum attention
It's iPhone only because the iPad developers are busy working on the calculator app for iPad.
Seems kind of redundant when there’s already a sports section in Apple News, and we get live activities from the TV app. I do see football though, just no American handball, all it needs is a Motorsports section, rugby, and yodeling.
I’ve seen way better stuff from 12 years olds honestly, some of the stuff Apple puts out is baffling.
Wrong answer. Tennis and golf are major international sports. So is auto racing. This app is unfinished and should never have been released as-is. Of course, all of the Apple apologists will see it otherwise.
Look, I’m not an Apple hater. Take a look at the gear in my signature. But the company needs calling out when it screws up.
For movies in theaters it's usually dubbed. But for streaming services? It's hit or miss for non-spanish speaking shows. Except in Apple TV, where you can always get both dub and subs.
Where's the NFL? Can't find any teams.
Edit - No news articles, stats, game schedule, etc. - Holy crap this app sucks. About to delete it 10 seconds after downloading. Embarassing

Sorry but golf and tennis are pretty big sports. I didn’t see any mention of them coming later. Of course they’ve never been incorporated with Siri or AppleTV either so its more likely whoever is working on this at Apple doesn’t think either is worth spending time on.
It displays scores. You want to stare at an empty page with no scores?
If its not there next season, complain.
I kind of hate the fact that this thing exists.
As a developer who has been thinking about leaving the startup world in favor of indie app development… god what's even the point in trying to make new products, the FAANGs sherlock and eat everything.

If your only idea was an app that displays sports scores, your app company wouldn't have went far anyway
The way it was released and the app itself being so bare boned is just weird. Tim Cook is promoting it on Twitter. Most of the responses are pointing out what’s missing and how it’s kind of useless at the moment. Inside the app it’s referred to as Sports. But the app name is just Sport.
