Great app for tracking news and scores. Some useful additions or fixes to the app: It would be useful to filter the Scores tab to remove leagues I don't care about and add those that don't show. It would also be nice to have an option for filtering alcohol or gambling based advertising in the app. One bug is that article feedback is not always present on stories that are opened via notifications.

There's been a few ongoing issues over the past few updates: 1) The hyperlinks take us to a page of nothing but ads. I loved that I could get the background on a player using the links. 2) When using the app on my Android and have to check an email, the app usually closes so I have to find the story again. Really aggravating. Hope to see these issues fixed soon. Thank you.

The coverage is top notch but notifications don't work. For the first year I had this everything was fine but in the past 2-3 months notifications for articles are gone completely. About an 3 months ago I went from about 10-15 a day down to just game start notifications. I sent in a complaint and almost immediately after notifications started again but lasted less than a week before completely stopping again. Now the tech support just ignores anything I submit.
