The official ESPN SportsCenter app has been updated with support for an iOS 8 Notification Center widget, and it seems awesome thus far. The widget allows you to get quick access to scores from your favorite team (go Lakers) and provides access to ESPN’s radio stations. The update is free on the App Store.

This is cool, though I deleted the app as soon as they changed it from Score Center to SportsCenter. I use the Yahoo! sports app, so hopefully they’re next to do this.
Go Blue! (As an alum, Mark I hope you see a better football team before you graduate)
I hope so too! Thanks for reading.
Sweet, I needed that.
I just wish they would give us multiple “Today” screens! The “widgets” list gets really long after only a few widgets are used. You don’t want to have to scroll down a mile to see information. At that point you could just open the app itself.
So how is scrolling sideways any different than scrolling up and down. Widgets aren’t intended to be used instead of the application or for every conceivable situation. They’re for just a quick look. The problem is people want to have an “at-a-glance” look for every thing which eventually just doesn’t work and becomes over burdensome to the intended task making today screens useless and just a cluttered mess. Multiple today screens are no better as you would still be switching from one to another.
