“I’m subscribed to all my favorite professional and college sports teams on the ESPN SportsCenter app. I’m not always available to watch the games so it gives me updates about what is going on and the final score,” Andrea Gerardi, junior education major, said.

Never miss a kick off, first pitch or tip-off with this app. Its clubhouse feature offers a way to keep all of your team’s news under one page. “Going to school in Pa. I do not get to watch most of my team’s games because I root for mostly New York teams so the updates and features really do help a lot,” Gerardi said.

CBS Sports app is a roundup of all the US sports out there. It covers football, both NFL and NCAA, as well as Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Golf, Tennis and Soccer. Individuals can personalize the notifications they receive, as well as get live video.

Another feature within the app is CBS Sports Radio, which can also be livestreamed. Like ESPN, this app possesses great interface, as well as some unique features.

Bleacher Report, a sports digital media company, offers an online service, with journalism and media to accompany it. The name of the application that Bleacher Report offers is Team Stream, the iOS companion to Bleacher Report’s website.

“I just recently downloaded Team Stream and it’s been such a great news outlet for me to stay up to date on all my favorite teams and just around the leagues in general,” Anthony DiMartino, sophomore accounting major, said. “The articles on the app also make for a great read about any of the sports topics I’m interested in at the time, mostly about my teams. It’s easily the best sports app I have ever used.

The app allows people to select a team and then bring together all the stories and information surrounding one’s favorite team. This information is taken from various sources across the web, featuring local news outlets as well as national sites and blogs. Team Stream has gained a reputation for the dedicated as one of the best apps around.
