SPORT TV has just unveiled a powerful new set of features for its mobile app that is set to redefine how fans experience football in real time. Thanks to the cutting-edge technology developed by Magycal, users can now follow everything happening in a match, even with their phone locked!
This new experience is powered by Live Activities, an interactive iOS feature that brings all the action straight to the lock screen. Without even opening the app, fans can keep track of every moment of their team’s match: from the live score and match time to goals, substitutions, and cards.
The Live Activity begins 30 minutes before kickoff and updates throughout the match. And when a goal is scored, the magic happens: the screen lights up automatically (no taps, no interruptions), notifying the user immediately of the score change. This feature is available to all users, even those without a SPORT TV subscription.
Alongside Live Activities, the SPORT TV app now supports customizable widgets for both iOS and Android devices. These widgets allow fans to personalize their home screen with the most relevant football content: upcoming matches, latest scores, trending videos, or even one-tap access to SPORT TV live channels.
Widgets come in multiple sizes and formats, so every fan can build their own setup. You can even follow multiple teams or competitions at once by stacking different widgets side by side.
Pedro Centieiro, CEO of Magycal, emphasizes the importance of pushing boundaries in digital sports experiences:
“We design digital experiences that are fast, intuitive, and built around how people actually watch football. These features are a step closer to that vision.”
This launch builds on the full-featured experience already inside the SPORT TV app, including live stats, exclusive videos, and detailed match analysis.
