F1 2020 season calendar is now available on Android.

In 56 days, 9 hours and 40 minutes, in Melbourne, about 24 of the world’s best drivers will rev up their powerful engines for the first time this year to claim the F1 teams and drivers’ championship. Lewis Hamilton, the current world champion will try to win his sixth. Hopefully, Ferrari will put up a fight this year, unlike the years where Hamilton won the previous six. 

This year, the official app has been updated with the 2020 race calendar which starts on the 12th of March in Melbourne. Session times for each round will follow soon. The changelog also states that it will be "easier than ever to replay live timing sessions with replay buttons now placed more prominently around the app after a race weekend." Of course, there are the usual bug fixes and performance improvements.

Check out the update on Google Play Store.

We're a month away from the 2019 F1 season and the Android app has been updated today. Fans of the sport in Cyprus, Greece, Malta, and Portugal will be able to watch the races on their devices by purchasing an F1 TV Pro subscription. The ability to watch live races on Android phones and tablets was released last year in a few countries. It's great to see the offer being extended to more countries.

This update also allows users to stream live races on the F1 TV app. Previously, this was only possible on the F1 app. If you live in one of the above-mentioned countries, download the Formula 1 app in Google Play Store.

SofaScore added push notifications for soccer goal scorers in big update for Android.

Today SofaScore published a big update to its Android app that brings the app to version 5.51.0 and includes new features that will please soccer and motorsport fans alike. 

As a soccer fan, push notifications is my favorite feature and as I'm not always in front of my TV to watch every game, push notifications on the phone and my Android watch bring me almost every action of the games instantly. Every time a team scores, SofaScore lets me know about it along with the name of the team that scored. In today's update, SofaScore added push notifications for goal scorers, meaning the app will also push the name of the player who scored. This feature must be manually enabled in the app notifications settings. SofaScore says "that if you have notifications for regular "Goals" activated as well, you'll get 2 notifications in short period." The company also said that not all games offer goal scorer notifications.

The 2018 Formula 1 World Championship will begin in 15 days with the Melbourne Grand Prix and it makes sense that SofaScore moved the popular single seater car race to the Motorsport category. I can't wait for the new F1 season to begin and see how it all unfolds in SofaScore.

Here's the complete changelog:

1. Long awaited feature – we have finally added push notifications for goal scorers. Please go to app “Notifications settings” and activate it manually.
   
2. You can now follow Motorsports and Cycling races, receive notifications and have a complete race schedule in Favorites
   
3. Minor, but important change – Formula 1 is now available under Motorsports category!
   
4. Pre-match standings/form is added to event details – quick overview of team’s form, rank, and points before the match.
5. Goal distribution is now visible in “Matches” tab
   
6. Team’s top players' list of ice hockey teams, currently in NHL only but more leagues are coming soon
   
7. Localized “Vavel” news feed for selected tournaments
   
8. Option to change default currency in-app for transfers value, player value, tournament prize money and so on
