theScore now features Live Activities & Events!
Your favorite sports app keeps getting BETTER.
We're thrilled to announce that theScore now features Live Activities, which means you now have the ability to pin a box score to your lock screen! Follow your favorite team without needing to unlock your device!
Live Activities make it easier to follow what's happening in real time. Even better, we've made this feature available on iOS and Android. Android users will see the new feature branded as "Live Events," but it works the same way.
We're rolling out our new toy on MLB, NBA, and NHL. Additional leagues will get the feature in the future, including the NFL for the upcoming season!
There's more: We've designed each league's Live Activity to include unique sport-specific information:
- MLB: Bases view, balls/strikes, outs
- NBA: Game score, clock
- NHL: Power-play status, shootouts
- NFL: Down and distance, timeouts, possession
iOS users can subscribe to a maximum of five live events, while Android users have no cap but a maximum of eight live events will appear on a user's lock screen.
