I've used The Score app/widget for years on various Android phones and while it has progressively gotten worse, the current version has been unusable as a widget for a while. Nothing on the widget updates easily, can't switch between sports anymore without significant time/effort, it shows old info (like this morning, still showing scores from last night that i cant get updated to show today's games), and the only way to get any of it to update in real time (sometimes) is opening the app and then going back out to the widget screen. Which completely misses the point of a widget, of course. So, I'm wondering what other apps/widgets have the kind of functionality of The Score where you can see and switch between scores from multiple sports on the widget and easily click into a game when interested in following the action - like The Score used to work. I've seen a couple of apps that look promising but require a subscription to basically see the app work. And, I'm not sure if they have a widget. Any suggestions? US sports-focused mostly.

No, this app has been degrading in quality for several years and I've had 3 different phones in the last 3-4 years. I'll try it but it's the app/widget, not the phones.

Sounds like a phone problem to me. Try rebooting your phone. If it's a Samsung phone, try device care and clean out memory. Then download good guardian and use app booster. See if that helps

You might try the ESPN app, I did, but switched back to TheScore. I only use as an app though, not the widget.

Sport apps in general are terrible. I have Score and ESPN and they both suck. ESPN was literally sending me notifications of the Kelce and Swift wedding like igaf.
