Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build an iPhone app for sports fans who want scores, news and highlights for their favorite teams. Start with a team picker and save my choices on the phone. The main screen should show my teams' games with scores, opponents, start times and game status. Let me switch between scores and a team feed. The feed should contain news headlines and highlight cards, with taps opening the original article or official video link. Let me change my favorite teams from the top of the screen. Use a clean dark design with white text, green accents and clear score cards. Use realistic sample teams, games and news, clearly marked as demo content, without connecting outside services yet.

Plan on a weekend for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of ESPN, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Apple Developer Program ($99 a year); API key for sports data provider (that service's pricing); API key for sports news provider (that service's pricing).
ESPN brings its own reporting, league broadcast deals and sports archive that a homemade app with licensed highlights would not inherit. A version you build yourself won't have these: ESPN original reporting; ESPN league broadcast deals; ESPN shows and documentaries; ESPN historical video archive.
