If you want to keep up with your favourite team or stay on top of the latest sporting news, nothing beats a sports app. Making the most of your phone\u2019s data connection, they can keep you in the loop on match day, or tip you off to rumours long before they make the press. Many sport apps are specific – tied to a particular league, sport or broadcaster – but others can give you the wider picture. So which are the best sports apps? Check out our guide.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to be daunted by the number of sports apps available – loads of teams, leagues, sports and even athletes have their own apps. There\u2019s no single \u2018right\u2019 choice for you – people are into sports for different reasons, and not everyone agrees on the ideal app.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re mostly after things like race, match or fixture news, along with official announcements, look for the official app for your league, sport or competition. While these typically only give you \u2018official\u2019 news, they\u2019re still a good source for the fundamentals.<\/p>\n

Broadcaster apps are great if you like more informed commentary, along with the chance to see replays and deeper analysis. If you\u2019re prepared to get your hands dirty, social apps like Twitter and Instagram let you get the latest from athletes, players, teams, sponsors, tipsters and pundits – just be sure to take some of the more \u2018out there\u2019 posts with a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”13px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Of course, the beauty of it all is that you can mix and match the apps that suit you. Let Twitter tip you off to developing stories, for example, then enjoy expert analysis from a broadcaster or writer once the news breaks. Get headline notifications on match day, then catch up with other goals or highlights on the train home.<\/p>\n

Here we\u2019ve picked five of the best sports apps available. They\u2019re each a little different – discover more in our best sports app guide.<\/p>\n

Long gone are the days when national broadcasters showed all the best sports for free, but the BBC still does a great job of creating written and broadcast sports content. The BBC Sport app takes all of this, and delivers the bits you care about directly to your phone.<\/p>\n

Like other apps with comprehensive coverage, BBC Sport starts by asking you to select the sports and topics that interest you. There\u2019s a huge and varied list available, literally spanning American football to wrestling, via less mainstream options like bowls, judo, skateboarding or water polo.<\/p>\n

Once selected, relevant stories show up on the app\u2019s My Sport page, giving you a quick and highly personalised overview of the sporting stories you\u2019re likely to care about – you can use the All Sport page to catch up on the rest.<\/p>\n

This app offers notifications for all the stories covered by your interests, but – thankfully – you can mute all or some depending on the sport. This vital feature helps you avoid spoilers if you plan to watch highlights later. For example, you can switch off goals, half-time and final scores in football, or practice, qualifying or race results in Formula 1.<\/p>\n

This might not be the only sports app you ever need – it\u2019s light on video content, in particular. Still, it\u2019s a free source of comprehensive, quality coverage. As such, it should be on every sports fan\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n

The Bleacher Report originated as an American sports website, and while the Android<\/a> and iOS<\/a> apps have been around many years, they\u2019re less well known in the UK. That\u2019s a shame, as Bleacher Report provides a decent range of content on mainstream UK sports such as football and cricket.<\/p>\n

While BR does partner with some sports to provide original content, it mostly displays an aggregated feed of material from other sources. Choose your sports and interests, and you get a curated feed, blending breaking news and the latest results with more seasoned analysis. Other feeds show \u2018hot\u2019 content, again filtered against your interests, and news alerts relating to any teams you follow. As with the BBC Sport app, BR lets you mute notifications containing scores and spoilers, in theory preventing it from ruining your evening\u2019s TV catch up.<\/p>\n

This app\u2019s available feeds include fantasy league-specific content and even gaming news – though there doesn\u2019t seem to be any esports coverage. The other downsides are that Bleacher Report\u2019s news feeds can be a bit patchy – for example, reporting F1 race results, but barely covering pre-season testing. There\u2019s also a US bias in some areas, for example, in the fixtures page which shows NBA, NFL and other US leagues rather than, say, Premiership Rugby.<\/p>\n

Overall this is a good app for getting a range of content from multiple sources. It\u2019s also a good way to see stories you might otherwise miss by relying to heavily on your own list of media outlets.<\/p>\n

Official apps are often terrible, but not so the official Premier League app. It\u2019s free, comprehensive, and full of useful articles and information. Install it, select the team or teams you follow, then get a tailored feed covering fixtures, results, broadcast schedules – and almost anything else you could want.<\/p>\n

The Premier League app is a great way to stay on top of what\u2019s happening in the world\u2019s most watched league, but it\u2019s also the perfect companion for fantasy football fans. It doubles as the app for the league\u2019s own official fantasy game, so you can manage your team directly alongside real match and player information.<\/p>\n

Separately, the Stats page shows you who\u2019s scored the most goals, committed most fouls, played the most minutes, or excelled against other key metrics. You can even find and compare individual player stats from this or former seasons.<\/p>\n

If you follow the Premier League, or a Premiership team, this app is utterly invaluable. However, its tight focus means it\u2019s next to useless for anyone else.<\/p>\n

As one of the UK\u2019s biggest sports broadcasters, Sky Sports offers extensive coverage of events including football, cricket, golf and Formula 1. Happily, the Sky Go app lets you watch this content live from your mobile.<\/p>\n

To start with the bad news, this app is essentially useless without a Sky Sports subscription, which starts at around \u00a340-60 per month. Also, you can\u2019t use it to watch Now TV content, even though that service is also owned by Sky.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a significant cost hurdle, but if you\u2019re already a Sky Sports subscriber, the Sky Go app is the perfect way to get premium video content on your mobile. You can watch sports live, but also use the app to watch and catch up on all the content covered by your subscription. It\u2019s not for everyone, but for Sky subscribers this app is the best way to watch live sport on your mobile.<\/p>\n

Have we gone quite mad? Twitter clearly isn\u2019t a sports app, so why does it make our list? The truth is that thousands of teams, players, managers, journalists, broadcasters and fans are on the platform, all sharing news, opinions, clips and other content. The result? It\u2019s one of the best sports apps, provided you know where to look.<\/p>\n

Depending on your interests, the best place to start is probably to follow the official account of the league or competitions you\u2019re interested in, possibly along with their governing body – for example FIFA. Add in your teams and favourite athletes, then any journalists or publications that focus on the sport. Look for fan organisations, too.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”89%” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”100px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Whatever your sport, it takes time to tweak your Twitter feed. You\u2019ll uncover new people to follow from others who share your interests. You\u2019ll probably unfollow others as they veer off topic or share one too many unsubstantiated rumour. Twitter doesn\u2019t curate content, or make it easy to filter out spoilers – though you can mute accounts or block key phrases temporarily.<\/p>\n

Twitter isn\u2019t the best place for verified news and deep analysis, but it\u2019s often the place where you\u2019ll see the first rumours of a transfer or other major news. Invest the time filtering out the dross and it\u2019s a useful way to get breaking news and connect with the people who make your sport tick. The other thing to remember is that it\u2019s a service, rather than just an app – if you don\u2019t like the official Twitter app, try using alternatives such as Twitterific or Plume.<\/p>\n
