Windows Phone App Review: Sports Now

SimzzDev has a nice sports information application out over at the Windows Phone Market place. Sports Now will bring the latest scores, news and standings for several sports leagues to your Windows Phone. I say "several" instead of "favorite" because the app but covers the NBA, MLB, NHL and NFL sports. It is our understanding that eventually more sports categories will exist added only for now, the app only covers these four leagues.

Still... Sports Now looks overnice, takes advantage of the Windows Phone tiles, and does deliver a good amount of information to your Windows Phone. Yous exercise have the power to tag teams as a favorite for quick admission and the ability to pin games to your Start Screen.

The layout of Sports Now is adequately simply and relies heavily on tiles. The main screen has yous choosing your sport and each sport folio has a series of tiles that will send yous to editing your favorite teams, view your favorite teams, view scores, view standings, view stats, view news, view tweets, and view the developers About folio.

Sports Now

From the Scores folio you tin can pin individual games to your Kickoff Screen that will keep you updated on the game. Games volition automatically update every twenty-30 minutes or you tin manually refresh the page with the refresh button institute on the Scores Page.

It appears that all information is pulled from ESPN so you lot have to enquire "why non just use the ESPN app?". After using Sports Now for a few days, I remember that Sports Now has a much easier, user friendly interface thanESPN ScoreCenter. Sports Now is limited (for the time being) on the number of sports categories merely the navigation is more direct frontward.

I call back if Sports At present will add more sports categories (collegiate sports is a must) and dial down the automatic refresh rate, it would exist a actually dainty sports information app for your Windows Telephone. Twenty to thirty minutes for an automated refresh is a picayune likewise long of a delay. In most cases that'due south half the game.

As is, Sports Now is a decent sports information app for your Windows Phone and worth a try. Sports Now is a gratuitous, ad-supported app that you can take hold of here at the Windows Phone Marketplace.
