NinetyNinety vs Apple Sports
Apple Sports is a clean, quick scoreboard from Apple, with Live Activities for followed teams and broadcaster information. It shows DraftKings betting odds by default (you can turn them off), and it has no spoiler setting: Apple’s own community answer is to turn off Live Activities. Ninety is built for exactly that gap.

Where Apple Sports is stronger
- Speed and design, and tight integration with Apple News and the TV app.
- Many sports beyond football.
Where Ninety is different
- Spoilers handled properly. Instead of turning Live Activities off, Ninety keeps them on and hides the score inside them when you are avoiding a result.
- No betting odds, on or off. Win chances come from prediction markets as information only.
- Much more football: predicted line-ups, injuries, referee records, top scorers, xG, news, highlights and club chat.
- Android and the web, not just Apple devices.
Which should you use?
Apple Sports is a lovely scoreboard if you want results the moment they happen. If you do not, or you want more than a scoreboard, Ninety covers the rest.
