App Aims: Up-To-The-Minute Sports Statistics Fix

Reviewer’s Comments
Are you a sports junkie? Maybe just an armchair quarterback? Follow your favorite teams in a variety of college and professional sports with Sportacular by Citizen Sports, Inc. This app is a great way to keep tabs on your favorite teams and/or sports. It includes scores, schedules, and standings along with the option to cheer for your team using your Facebook account. Scores update every 30 seconds but the rankings update once a day. In the settings pane you can customize the display info to show your favorite teams within each of the categories. One of the exciting updates in this latest version is the addition of the NCAA Men’s BKB Tourney brackets.

Sportacular covers a long list of sports:

• LPGA
• MLB
• MLS
• NBA
• NCAA (men’s basketball and football and women’s basketball)
• NCAA Tournament Brackets
• NFL
• NHL
• PGA
• PGA Champions Tour

The app’s offerings are well-rounded and thorough. There are a few omissions such as the WNBA and other college sports such as baseball but overall the app has a great selection of information. In the latest update the live comments feature that was originally open to anyone is now being handled through Facebook. It’s somewhat of a double-edged sword; on one hand the change improves the comments because your Facebook account is associated with your comments which makes people more conscious of what they’re saying. All the comments made through Sportacular show up on your Facebook’s profile page online. On the other hand, if you don’t have a Facebook account, you’re out of luck with regards to cheering for your team through Sportacular. It’s not a big deal to get a Facebook account so the requirement isn’t that bad.

Sportacular is the best, most comprehensive sports tracking app available in the App Store. It is an excellent resource and deserves a permanent home on the first page of any sports nut’s iPhone.
