Yahoo Sports App Reviews

The last few weeks, there is no data loaded by the widget. It just says “No Events”, which is not true for the teams I have selected.

Used to be a great widget. Not sure what happened but it is no longer working. The scores no longer update. Version 1.0.1. Mac OS 10.11.5

I use their matching iOS app mostly for their widget to check the score of current games and the start time of future ones. Their iOS counterpart isn’t just a Notification Center widget like this is, but rather a full-fledged app plus a widget. This, however, is literally just a widget, which I’m sure will confuse many users who saw this in the Mac App Store and thought it was a Mac version of their iOS sports app. Not at all. However, to make things even more weird and confusing, this widget doesn’t even act the same as the iOS app’s widget does. On iOS, we have the option of viewing just our favorite teams in the widget; here, we don’t have that option at all. Instead, were given a “trending” view, which shows the scores of countless teams from every league and every region that I don’t care about at all. Ugh, no - we need a way to favorite teams to follow. I dont care one bit about what’s “trending” according to Yahoo - I just care about my own teams’ scores and schedules, that’s all. It’s really so bizarre that this is so different than their awesome iOS app - I mean, why?! If it weren’t for the fact that this Mac app and its iOS counterpart share a name and icon, I would absolutely believe that they came from entirely different developers since these two apps are really 100% different in every way. To make things worse, this widget hasn’t worked at all since the last few updates of El Capitan. It’s just completely blank and shows nothing. I’ve disabled it from my Notification Center and am only keeping it around in the hopes that an update might pop up in my App Store one of these days fixing the issues and making it just like the iOS version. I don’t have high hopes, though. It’s been a year and a half since Yahoo updated this, so it seems pretty clear that they aren’t interested in developing for Mac users in any serious way.

Because, Clicking the team does not open the browser to load Yahoo Sports website anymore after the 10.10.2 update, Please fix that… Thank you UPDATE: downrated to 3 as it’s OK becuase it no longer works… no score results showed up.. Looks like it went empty since June 1st what’s up? Still not working as of 10.11.6 Wha’ts happening… downrated to 1 because it no longer works and no updates since 2014! abandoned?

I think it’s a great app. But you need an option so user can follow a sport, such as NBA, NFL, or any other sports. Typing every NBA teams one by one is inefficient. Hope you can update it.

This app does exactly one thing and does it well — I absolutely recommend this if you have even a passing interest in tracking one or more team’s scores.

THank you so much Yahoo! for bringing this to the Mac!

If you have no events, you lose about 10 lines / 2 inches of space in your Notification Center for this widget to display “No Events” in a huge open space.

Can’t login to yahoo to sync favorite teams. Not that big of a deal, but it could save some time.

We should have a lot more options. For NCAA football I’d like an option to follow the entire top 25, as well as my favorite teams. Also, I’d like the ability to follow an entire sport. Example: All NFL games, or any UFC events entire results as they happen. It’s not a bad start though.

The only thing i don’t understad is why the NBA portion of the app does not have a plays section. MLB and NFL both have plays but basketball does not. Please fix this issue!

Nowhere near the phone app which allows you to see more than just the current games that day. Work on it and get it right. Shouldn’t be that hard.

I would like for the ability to have Yahoo Sport default to “Upcoming” instead of “Scores” every time I open Notification Center. Right now, every time I open Notification Center, it always shows “Scores” regardless of if I clicked on “Upcoming” in a previous visit to Notification Center.

Does exactly what I want but no D-3 Football or basketball on here…. ESPN’s app has D-3, unfortunately it isn’t a Notification Center widget, so Yahoo! will have to suffice.

This is great! Please make more Mac apps like this! Also incorporate Fantasy Sports into this.

this app is seriously great if you love sports, only thing stopping me giving this app 5 stars is the fact that its missing fantasy football! please update with fantasy football someway somehow!!!

I love the idea of integrating Yahoo Sports into OSX Yosemite, but there is one big problem. When I add my favorite teams, everything becomes smushed together, and I can’t see which game is which. Please fix this bug. Thanks.

It gets the job done, but it leaves me wishing for something much better. Why are my only options to see *everything* or *only* my favorite teams? Ridiculous. I want to be able to select specific teams and specific leagues (NCAAMB Top 25, NFL, and then my 3-4 favorite teams).

Whoever wrote this app apparently doesn’t realize that the Home team should always listed below the Away team, not the other way around. The IOS app has right. Talk to them!

…App displays some fixtures twice in notification center.
