FOLLOWING YOUR FAVORITE SPORTS TEAMS

If you are a sports fan, you can use your phone to keep up with your favorite teams. It is no real surprise that the best free app for tracking sports scores comes from none other than ESPN. Its ScoreCenter app displays a wealth of information about ongoing and past games. You can set favorite teams in baseball, basketball, cricket, football, ice hockey, rugby, and soccer, and have access to all of the major leagues within each sport. The app defaults to showing you the scores and information for these favorites, so you get the information you want quickly without having to wade through a bunch of data you do not need or care about.

My favorite feature of this app is its home screen widget, which displays the upcoming game for each of your favorite teams. You can scroll through your teams using the small arrows to the left of the widget, and each team's next game displays at the bottom. While a game is in progress, the widget automatically updates to display the current score.
