# The Lineup Is

> The Lineup Is is an iOS sports app that ranks every game — across the NFL, college football, NBA, WNBA, college basketball, MLB, college baseball, NHL, the major soccer leagues and cups, Formula 1, NASCAR, IndyCar, ATP and WTA tennis, and PGA and LPGA golf — by whether it's worth watching. A Lineup score built from eleven factors (team quality, playoff race, close game, rivalry, national TV, championship, momentum, history, star power, elimination, tournament) has no ceiling and keeps moving during the game. You set your own bar and the app tells you when a game clears it, with a notification and a Live Activity that starts itself on the lock screen; weight the leagues and teams however you watch. Every game gets a two-sentence read in plain English.

Key facts:
- Platform: iPhone, iOS 18.0 or later. No Android version yet (waitlist on the website).
- Price: free to download and use. Pro is $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan; see Features for what is free and what Pro adds.
