Good, just not Great

To be the "leader in sports", you have to actually be the leader is sports... whether it be sports broadcasting, news, apps, etc... When ESPN combined WatchESPN with their original ESPN app, it made things very convenient.
The flaws of this app are the abilities to navigate easily from team to team. While in favorites, its too hard to see simple information- like whether the games are home or away, the start of the game, the betting lines in real time etc... there should be basic information posted on anywhere you see your favorite team(s). Additionally, it would be very nice if you could "watch" multiple games at once... if alerts are set for certain teams and/or games, the app should allow the user to set up GameCast on maybe up to 4 teams that are playing simultaneously...
While looking into Standings, no matter if it is baseball, NCAA football, NFL, NCAA basketball, and so on, the Standings page takes too many steps to get to and is very small to click on specific teams in that conference or overall.
A "Whats Hot Now" at the start up of the app with what channel to find the event on, would be very nice as well, that way the user can quickly find that event to watch on the app or where to watch or to simply get scores of quicker.
Fantasy Sports are hugely popular and for ESPN to not bundle the Fantasy Sports app into the ESPN app is somewhat of a letdown.
Lastly, just having simple access to other Apps that could be hyperlinked inside the ESPN app would simplify the process... For Example: when looking at details of a specific sporting event, ESPN shows the weather prediction, stadium location... but having a hyperlink with Apple Maps would allow the user to click on the location of stadium to get directions immediately... this same concept could easily be done throughout the app with weather as well, so the user could see detailed weather information when clicking on weather...
ESPN is the master of very strange statistics and facts when watching on tv, but the app doesnt have fun facts or anything interesting when looking at a specific team versus another specific team with any kind of pertinent information... like head to head past 5,10, etc. years and points scored last time the two teams met up, and so on.
I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS ON APPS, so I hope this review actually gets read by ESPN and Is considered while updating the app in future!
