A Thuuz replacement
If you're looking for Thuuz, you already know the idea: rate every game by how exciting it is, so you know what's worth watching and what to skip. Thuuz launched in 2010 and scored games in four bands — dull, OK, good, great — weighing pace, parity, momentum, social buzz, novelty and context.
What happened to Thuuz?
Stats Perform acquired Thuuz's platforms in November 2020, and the consumer app went offline in February 2021. The excitement-rating technology now goes to broadcasters and media companies rather than to fans, and thuuz.com redirects to Stats Perform. There is no consumer Thuuz app any more. If you've been searching for a Thuuz alternative, that's why you can't find one. Its old rival, Are You Watching This?!, is still around, but as a data service for broadcasters and betting sites rather than an app on your phone.
What The Lineup Is does
The Lineup Is is built on the same idea, for today's games. It scores every game across the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, college football, basketball and baseball, soccer, tennis, golf, Formula 1, NASCAR and IndyCar with an eleven-factor Lineup score that weighs stakes, closeness, rivalry, star power, and more — then ranks the day's slate and tells you, in two sentences, why each game matters. The score keeps moving while the game is on, so a comeback climbs the list.
Like Thuuz, the score is the point. Unlike a wall of scores, it's an opinion: here are the games tonight worth your time, and here's why. You set the bar — Casual, Balanced, or Hardcore — and we tell you when a game clears it, with a notification and a Live Activity that starts itself on the lock screen.
How it compares
- Same core idea: a single watchability score per game, so you don't have to guess.
- Consumer-first: a free iOS app, not a B2B feed buried inside someone else's product.
- Explained, not opaque: every game shows the three factors that moved its score most (all eleven with Pro) and gets a plain-English read grounded in the real state of the season. A handful of reads a day are free, always with the top game; Pro opens every one.
- Broad coverage: all the major US leagues plus global soccer, tennis, golf, and racing.
- Spoiler-free, as Thuuz was: turn on Hide Scores and we keep scores off the app, your lock screen, notifications, widgets and Siri. You still see which games are worth watching, and a Show score button reveals any game when you're ready.
Questions
What happened to Thuuz?
Thuuz rated sports games by how exciting they were and alerted fans when one got good. Stats Perform acquired its platforms in November 2020, and the consumer app went offline in February 2021. The technology now goes to broadcasters and media companies, not fans.
Is there a Thuuz replacement in 2026?
Yes. The Lineup Is, a free iPhone app, scores every game on tonight's slate for how worth watching it is, explains why in plain English, and alerts you when a game gets close or clears the bar you set.
Does it alert me when a game gets good?
Yes. Free: alerts for up to three favourite teams when their games are starting, close in the final minutes, in overtime or final. With Pro, alerts for every game that clears your bar, whoever is playing. Tonight's top game also starts a Live Activity on your lock screen by itself.
Is it spoiler-free like Thuuz?
Yes, when you want it to be. Hide Scores keeps results off the app, the lock screen, notifications, widgets and Siri, while still showing which games are worth watching.
What about Are You Watching This?
Are You Watching This?! (RUWT) was Thuuz's main rival. It still exists, but as a data service for broadcasters and betting sites, without a consumer iPhone app.
Is The Lineup Is on Android?
Not yet. It's on iPhone (iOS 18 or later), and there's an Android waitlist on the website.
