I am stoked because I joined the beta to try this feature, but it had already been disabled in the TV app. Works just as advertised and is a game changer for me. Anyone notice this crop up in any other apps?
This looks so legit I canāt wait till Monday
This is mostly the only reason I would update to 16ā¦ but would prob still hold off

I also love this! These guys continue to innovate! I love the fact they let you use the app on the Mac, etc. such a handy little app so many years later!
Dope. Now we wait for it in dynamic island
How will this work? Does the sports app we install have to have this feature? Iāve never used anything besides a 3rd party sports app to get game scores.
My option isnāt available in the tv settings. Updates to iOS 16.1. Wonder if itās a canada thing.
How do you select a game to get you love scores on your Lock Screen? Iām not seeing it. This sounds awesome!
Go to the game on the app and I think up to 6-7 hours before the start of the game you can click the 3 dots in the upper right and click start live activity. I used it for NFL so far. Right now none of the noon college football games have the live activity shown hmm..
Same for the World Series, I donāt see an option

Some games donāt seem to have this option. Do you need to turn it on before the game start??
Nope, bc there is a hockey game on now and u can still add it. I think itās certain games like college football that has no options for it
I guess I will try NFL tomorrow. Seem stupid college football doesnāt have this option
As an update, there is a NHL, NFL, and Premier League game today. Within the next 6 hours there is only the NFL and Premier League game, but only the NFL game gets the live activity. WTF!?
So I have the sports alerts appā¦ I still donāt have the option under the three dots on a live game for live activities. Iāve deleted and redownloaded. Any help with this?
They donāt work for NCAA football. Seems to work with NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB.
Well that sucks as NCAA-F is 90% of what I follow lolā¦ thanks for the response. Hopefully itāll come with a later update š¤·š»āāļø I love this app.
I hope so too. I follow a lot of college football so Iāll just have to stick with ESPN for that
Just to let you know, I reached out to the developers before posting here (less than 2 hours ago) and just got the below response:
Hi,
Currently the app only supports Live Activities for MLB, NFL, NBA & NHL. Weāre working on adding support for NCAA football & basketball, and hope to have it ready within a couple of weeks.
Regards, Jeff
I didnāt expect a response at all let alone that quick. So, shows they know about it and hopefully will have it added before playoffs and championship.
I donāt personally understand peopleās appeal in sports, but if that is something others seek out then that is nice! I personally wonāt use it for sports but it certainly sounds like a nice feature for those who do as itās super convenient.
Random story just because: Had a store employee recommend getting a 14 Pro line phone (was getting one anyway through Apple) solely based on being able to see sports scores which his kinda weird when someone just assumes everyone likes sports. Like not āit can do multiple things, like also show sports scores!ā, it was like the go-to feature the person mentioned and nothing else. Though it probably was their own excitement there for said feature!
It's really nice for sport enthusiasts, you directly have the resume of the match you're following on the locked screen, no need to unlock etc, quick ,simple, easy
And the dynamic island showing the score in every apps... god send

For soccer, FotMob works perfectly with live activities too š
