What it is: This 4-by-1 widget shows you scores and schedules for your favorite sports teams, and lets you scroll through each sport by pressing a button on the widget’s left side.
Why it’s a good widget: SportsTap isn’t the only sports score app with a home screen widget, but unlike some others, it can show several games from the same team–so you don’t just get last night’s score, but the starting time for tonight’s matchup. [Free, Link]
