Very good, not perfect

Everyone probably wants something slightly different from this type of sports app widget that can be viewed in my Today View side panel in OS X Yosemite, but this is what I want:

* Schedule of upcoming sports game for teams I select (date, time, and, very importantly to me, TV network)
* Ideally don’t take up too much space and look pretty (smallish font, possibly team logos)

This gets 5 stars for my first item — unlike its only competitor (the Yahoo! sports app), this one gives me the TV network for the upcoming game, which is important so I know which channel to turn to. That’s huge for me and the main reason I want this type of app.

The second item is good but not perfect. It’s a simple and clean app, which I like, but the font is a little large (takes up more space, which is okay if you only follow one team but too big if you follow several teams), it doesn’t have team logos (not a deal breaker), and it includes (bizarrely) gambling statistics (like over-under points, which I definitely don’t want but can’t seem to get rid of). Like the Yahoo app, it also includes the score of the most recent game, which is nice although not necessary since I want this mainly for the upcoming schedule.

By comparison to it’s only competitor, the Yahoo! app, this is way better for me for two reasons: (1) it includes the TV network of upcoming games and (2) it’s way smaller (the Yahoo! app seems to want to include a gazillion previous game scores and gazillion upcoming games, along with trending game scores, whatever that means, and it’s divided into a past and upcoming game panes that you have to manually click to switch between — by comparison, this app just gives you the most recent past score and the soonest upcoming game scheduled, nothing else, and it’s all right there in one screen without having to click buttons to switch between past and upcoming games).

If I had recommendations for the app developers, it would be these:
* Make the gambling data optional, something I can turn off in the settings
* Make the font slightly smaller so I can cram more teams in without taking up too much space
* If possible (it might not be), add in the team logos (which just add a little prettiness and offialness feel to the app that Yahoo’s app has already)
* Add more customization features (such as allowing me to turn on/off the past game scores, allowing me to set the number of upcoming and past games I want in the pane, selecting the order in which teams will appear in the list of scheduled/past games, possibly font size, possibly the ability to limit what games are shown based on what TV networks I have available to me including local affiliates so that I only see the schedule for games I can actually watch based on the TV channels I’ve got subscriptions to — for instance, I wouldn’t want to see the schedule for every game of a team I’m following if the next game is on NBA TV but I don’t own NBA TV and therefor can’t watch that game)
