How to Download and Use the CBS Sports App for Live Game Updates
I remember the first time I realized how crucial live sports updates had become in my life. It was last Tuesday when I read about Castro visiting Tropang Giga practice just before Game 6 of the finals - the very day he'd been cleared to walk without assistance. That story broke while I was stuck in a meeting, and I found myself desperately refreshing my phone under the table. That's when I truly appreciated having the CBS Sports App, which delivered that update seconds after it happened. The experience taught me that in today's fast-paced sports world, being even minutes behind can mean missing crucial developments that change how we understand the game narrative.
Downloading the CBS Sports App is remarkably straightforward, taking me about 90 seconds from start to finish. I typically recommend people visit either the Apple App Store for iOS devices or Google Play Store for Android, where the app maintains impressive ratings - 4.7 stars from over 880,000 reviews on iOS last I checked. What I particularly appreciate is that the download is completely free, though they do offer premium features for dedicated fans. The installation process consumes roughly 85MB of space, which is quite reasonable compared to some other sports apps that can take up 200MB or more. Once installed, the setup asks for your favorite teams and sports, which I've found dramatically improves the relevance of notifications you receive.
The interface surprised me with its intuitive design - something I can't say about every sports app I've tried. Within moments of opening it, I was able to navigate to the NBA section and find real-time updates about the PBA finals. The scoreboard feature provides what I consider the most comprehensive live statistics available, updating every 12-15 seconds during active games. During that crucial Game 6 mentioned earlier, I was getting player statistics, quarter-by-quarter breakdowns, and even real-time commentary from analysts. The personalization really shines here - you can set it to prioritize certain leagues or teams, which means I get notifications about my favorite basketball teams within 5-7 seconds of something significant happening.
What makes this app indispensable for me are the push notifications. I've configured mine to alert me about game starts, quarter endings, score changes, and breaking news like player injuries or trades. The Castro story I mentioned earlier? I received that notification approximately 3 minutes before most major sports websites published it. The app also includes video highlights that typically appear within 2-3 minutes of a significant play, which is faster than what I've experienced with ESPN or Bleacher Report's apps. During live games, the play-by-play feature gives me what feels like court-side coverage even when I'm supposed to be working or handling other responsibilities.
I've noticed the app performs slightly better on iOS than Android in terms of loading times - scores appear about 1.5 seconds quicker on my iPhone compared to my Samsung device. The live streaming capability requires a cable provider login, which can be slightly frustrating if you've cut the cord, but the free features still provide substantial value. Battery consumption is reasonable - during heavy game days, I've observed about 12-15% drain over 3 hours of active use, which is better than many social media apps.
Having used numerous sports apps over the years, I keep returning to CBS Sports because it strikes what I feel is the perfect balance between comprehensive coverage and user-friendly design. That Tuesday when Castro made his surprise appearance at practice, I was able to follow not just that story but also monitor two other games simultaneously through the multi-game view feature. The app has fundamentally changed how I engage with sports, transforming moments that would previously have been filled with anxious refreshing into seamless, informed viewing experiences. For any serious sports fan, I believe it's an essential tool that enhances both the immediacy and depth of our connection to the games we love.
We are shifting fundamentally from historically being a take, make and dispose organisation to an avoid, reduce, reuse, and recycle organisation whilst regenerating to reduce our environmental impact. We see significant potential in this space for our operations and for our industry, not only to reduce waste and improve resource use efficiency, but to transform our view of the finite resources in our care.
Looking to the Future
By 2022, we will establish a pilot for circularity at our Goonoo feedlot that builds on our current initiatives in water, manure and local sourcing. We will extend these initiatives to reach our full circularity potential at Goonoo feedlot and then draw on this pilot to light a pathway to integrating circularity across our supply chain.
The quality of our product and ongoing health of our business is intrinsically linked to healthy and functioning ecosystems. We recognise our potential to play our part in reversing the decline in biodiversity, building soil health and protecting key ecosystems in our care. This theme extends on the core initiatives and practices already embedded in our business including our sustainable stocking strategy and our long-standing best practice Rangelands Management program, to a more a holistic approach to our landscape.
We are the custodians of a significant natural asset that extends across 6.4 million hectares in some of the most remote parts of Australia. Building a strong foundation of condition assessment will be fundamental to mapping out a successful pathway to improving the health of the landscape and to drive growth in the value of our Natural Capital.
Our Commitment
We will work with Accounting for Nature to develop a scientifically robust and certifiable framework to measure and report on the condition of natural capital, including biodiversity, across AACo’s assets by 2023. We will apply that framework to baseline priority assets by 2024.
Looking to the Future
By 2030 we will improve landscape and soil health by increasing the percentage of our estate achieving greater than 50% persistent groundcover with regional targets of:
– Savannah and Tropics – 90% of land achieving >50% cover
– Sub-tropics – 80% of land achieving >50% perennial cover
– Grasslands – 80% of land achieving >50% cover
– Desert country – 60% of land achieving >50% cover
