“It has gotten complicated recently, so they are trying some new things.”The current ESPN app prioritizes scores, news and highlights, and also has a tab for cable television subscribers to watch ESPN. The new app will essentially contain three better integrated parts: news and scores, live events and shows that are on ESPN’s television channels, and ESPN+. The ESPN app has been downloaded 70 million times and has two million daily active users, according to Apptopia, an app analytics company. PhotoAt $4.99, ESPN+ is cheaper than other streaming services, but has one enormous drawback: It won’t show anything available on ESPN’s television channels. There are no current plans to introduce price tiers to ESPN+ or to allow customers to buy television channels through it.
