Apple launched a new betting app, Apple Sports, on Wednesday that’s designed to give users a simple place to view scores, stats, standings, and sports betting odds. The launch of the app comes shortly before the start of the MLS and MLB seasons, as Apple offers viewing options for both leagues via Apple TV.
“We created Apple Sports to give sports fans what they want – an app that delivers incredibly fast access to scores and stats,” Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of services, said in a press release. “Apple Sports is available for free in the App Store, and makes it easy for users to stay up to date with their favorite teams and leagues.”
Apple’s app offers features similar to ESPN’s. Users can select their favorite teams and sports leagues, easily viewing scores and league standings in the process.
