The ESPN app no longer works on my Apple Watch. I have contacted the developers and they told me to make sure both the phone and watch were up to date. They are. Then they said they weren’t sure what was wrong because the watch app mirrors the phone. Needless to say very frustrating because I wanted to use the widget one one of my faces to check scores for the NCAA tournament and opening day in MLB
