Today we will talk about football. More precisely, how to follow the matches of your favorite team. After all, it is not always possible to sit in front of the TV, computer or watch the broadcast from mobile devices, but you want to know how “ours” play there right here and now.
What do you want to see in the football fan app? First of all, the ability to follow your favorite team or an individual player: match statistics, changes in the composition, when the next game and any news in general. Secondly, it would be nice to receive information about upcoming or ongoing tournaments. Thirdly, I would like to follow the ongoing match online, ideally, watch the video broadcast. As we all know perfectly well, nothing perfect exists, but you can find something close to this.
Now I will tell you about the features of the free Scores & Video app.
Favorite players, teams, tournaments
I think I won't be mistaken if I say that every football fan has a priority team or player. In the Scores & Video application, you can mark any existing teams, tournaments and players that you want to follow and receive not only up-to-date information about upcoming or past matches, but also news. To do this, you need to go to the 'Favorites' section in the side menu and select the desired items. It should be noted that push notifications are sent only for team matches, and tournaments and players are in favorites only for quick access. In order not to forget an important match, you can add a reminder to the system calendar right from the application. During the game, you will receive notifications about the most important events, be it a goal or a penalty card.
'Live broadcasts'
Unfortunately, the application does not provide access to online video broadcasts of matches, completely different services are engaged in this and for money, sometimes rather big ones, if you want good quality. Scores & Video broadcast matches in text with a full description of what is happening, which is quite convenient if you, for some reason, cannot watch the video broadcast of the game.
From the application interface, you can get complete information about the match: the current score, the composition, the placement of players on the field, which channels are broadcast live and who is the main referee. The application broadcasts in two formats: text and visual chronological graph. After a certain time, statistics on ball possession, shots on goal, corners, violations, penalties and so on will appear in the last tab. In the video section, a cut of interesting moments of the match is available, unfortunately, there is no built-in player in the application and viewing is possible only using a browser.
Social component
A small social network has been introduced into the service, for this you need to register or log in using social networks Facebook, VKontakte or Google+.
After that, it becomes possible to participate in the discussion of the match in the online chat with other users. Before the match, you can try to predict who will win or whether there will be a draw and see the statistics of votes, in addition, there is a choice of the worst and best player in the match. Also, from the match profile, a feed of photos from services Instagram and Foursquare from the football field is available.
Let's summarize
This is a good app for football fans and a great help for betting fans to keep up to date with upcoming matches and get up-to-date information about the game in real time. The application is well executed, the interface is simple and easy to use. At the same time, you will not be asked for money for it, but each time you open it, an advertising banner (not a video) will be displayed in full screen, which can be closed immediately.
