ESPN recently updated two of their most popular Android apps, ESPN ScoreCenter for sports scores/stats tracking and WatchESPN for TV streaming. The ScoreCenter update added scoring/breaking news notifications and fixed a number of issues dealing with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and tablets. On a similar note, the WatchESPN update added full screen support for tablets and fixed an annoying bug that prevented ICS users from signing in and ultimately using the streaming service. I can confirm that bug has been squashed and it now works with ICS-powered smartphones and tablets, like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Asus Transformer Prime. Now, if only they’d update their ESPN Radio app, which has been extremely buggy for over a year now. Read on for all the details on the new versions of both aforementioned apps.
