1. Follow
A Follow is you telling the app what you care about. Teams. Countries. A specific playoff series. A tournament or a whole season.
Following something means it surfaces on Today. Your team's games show up there on game day. Everything else stays quiet. Follows are unlimited and free.
2. Alert
Following is passive. Alerting is active. Turn alerts on for a follow and your phone buzzes when something happens. Three levels:
- Quiet. Start, final, and the rare big moment.
- Companion. The start, the breaks, the scores that matter for your team, and the final.
- Full Details. Every moment, every game.
Each follow owns its own level. Companion for the team you watch. Quiet for the rest. You can change them anytime. Alerts are free on your first three follows.
3. Track
Tracking is for a single game. Following is for a team or country across a whole season. Track tonight's game when you want it in view while it's on.
On a game page, tap Add to Watching and the game lives on the Watching tab. In the iPhone app, a live game's button reads Track on Lock Screen. It adds the game to Watching and puts the live score on your Lock Screen. Tracking doesn't turn on alerts. That's a separate switch on the follow.
Quick rule
- Follow = personalize the app.
- Alert = notification-enabled follow.
- Track = keep one game in view, in Watching or on your Lock Screen.
4. No-Spoilers
Turn No-Spoilers on once in Settings. Scores, headlines, and results stay hidden on every screen. Push notification previews stay vague. Tap a hidden score to reveal that one game.
Good for watching games on delay. The hide contract holds across the app. Share images, page titles, push previews. If you see a leak, that's a bug.
The four tabs
- Today. What's on now for the things you follow.
- Schedule. Every game, by week for the NFL and by day for a tournament.
- Following. Your follows and their alert levels.
- Watching. The games you're tracking.
On your phone, the tabs sit along the bottom and Settings is at the bottom of Following. On a computer, they're in the sidebar, with Settings at the bottom.
