theScore: Sports News & Scoresv26.11.0

Released July 31, 2026Major

iOS Android

The recent major update triggered a minor decline in user satisfaction, with the weighted average rating dropping by 0.11 stars to a post-update average of 3.28. While the addition of TV networks to the scores tab was well received, this positive signal was offset by broken golf leaderboard statistics and a clunky horizontal layout for the baseball inning tracker. The net verdict is negative, driven by a 0.27 star drop on iOS that outweighed a minor 0.04 decline on Android.
