Terrible…not at all like their good iOS app

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.
