FAQ

How do I favorite a team, player or ranking?

Open a ranking list, find the team or player, and tap the star next to it, or tap the star next to a search result. You can follow one national team, up to five players and up to five rankings. Home shows them under Favorites, with Team, Players and Rankings tabs; tap Edit to change them.

What do the arrows and the New #1 tag mean?

The green and red numbers show how many places a team or player moved since the publisher's previous edition. New #1 marks a ranking whose leader changed in the latest edition. Some publishers don't report a previous position, so those lists show no movement.

How do I turn ranking alerts on or off?

Tap Turn On on the alerts card on Home, or open Settings and use the Ranking alerts switch under Alerts. The first time, iOS asks whether the app can send notifications. You'll get an alert when your team's rank changes in one of its sports, a player you follow moves, or a pinned ranking has a new #1. Tapping an alert opens that team, player or ranking.

Why didn't I get an alert?

Check that notifications for WS Rankings are allowed in iOS Settings, Notifications, and that Ranking alerts is on in the app. Alerts follow each publisher's schedule, so nothing arrives until a ranking you follow publishes a new edition. Changes found between 10 pm and 7 am are delivered at 8 am, and iOS can delay background activity, for example in Low Power Mode or after you force-quit the app.

How do I add and edit the widget?

Touch and hold an empty area of your Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget, and search for WS Rankings. Choose small, medium or large (or extra large on iPad). To change what it shows, touch and hold the widget, tap Edit Widget and pick Auto, My Team, My Players or Rankings. The widget updates every few hours and whenever you open the app.

What is Week in Rankings?

A summary of the last 7 days across every sport: new #1s, the biggest moves in the top 10 and the biggest jumps in the top 100. It's on Home; tap See all for the full list, and tap a row to open that ranking.

How do I turn the weekly digest on or off?

Open Settings and use the Weekly digest switch under Alerts. When it's on, you get one notification every Sunday at 6 pm with your favorites' week. It's off until you turn it on, and it works without ranking alerts.

How do I see how a ranking's points work?

Tap ⓘ next to the Points header in a ranking. It explains how that ranking is calculated and when it updates, with a link to the publisher's own page.

How do I share a ranking, team or player?

Tap the share button on a ranking, team or player to share it as an image, or touch and hold a card on Home. To share the app itself, go to Settings, About, Share This App.

How do I switch between sports and rankings?

On Home, open All Rankings and choose a sport, then pick a specific ranking. Use the Men / Women switch at the bottom of a list to change between the men's and women's rankings (in chess, the switch reads Open / Women, following FIDE's own lists). You can also use search to find a sport, ranking, team or player.

How do I change weight category in judo?

Open Judo, then tap a weight category in the row at the top of the list. The Men / Women switch at the bottom changes between the men's and women's categories.

How do I see where my country ranks in every sport?

Star a national team in any ranking. Home's Team tab shows its top men's and women's ranks; tap the card or All rankings to open its profile, which lists where that country ranks in every sport the app covers.

Does the app work on iPhone Duo?

Yes. Version 1.1.0 supports both screens: folded, it works like any iPhone; unfolded, tables and profiles use the full width, with the sports list a tap away from the sidebar button.

Why can't I star some rankings' entries?

Teams in the Formula 1 Constructors' and MotoGP Teams' and Constructors' standings, and beach volleyball pairs, can't be added to Favorites. You can still star drivers, riders, and the rankings themselves.

How often do rankings update?

Each ranking refreshes on its sport's official publish schedule, not continuously — so a short delay after a new ranking is released is normal. The date at the top of each list is the date the publisher gave that ranking. See publishing patterns by sport.

Does the app work offline?

Yes. The last data you loaded stays available for offline browsing; reconnect to pull the latest rankings.

How do I clear the app's cache?

In the app, open Settings, then About, and tap Clear Cached Rankings.

My favorites disappeared after reinstalling or switching devices.

Favorites are stored locally on your device rather than synced to an account, so reinstalling the app or switching to a new device will reset them. If you use ranking alerts, turn them on again after reinstalling.

How do I change the app's appearance?

The app is designed for light, dark, and tinted appearances and follows the appearance you choose in your iPhone or iPad Settings.

Is World Sport Rankings free?

Yes, the app is free to download and use. It is supported by ads; see our Privacy Policy for details, including what the app sends when ranking alerts are on.
