Mobile Sports Apps Make Watching Sports Better

Posted on 13:04 by blogger
Smartphones have dominated the mobile marketplace, giving people services and content that is accessible anywhere and anytime. Not only have smartphones, iPhones and the accompanying apps changed the way people communicate and consume content, but they have also drastically changed how sports fans consume, watch and interact with sports. Among the countless benefits are the creation of iPhone apps that allow fans to follow fantasy sports and play free sports games online. Fantasy football iPhone apps and fantasy basketball iPhone apps are among the most popular out there. The popularity of fantasy sports themselves and fantasy sports-related iPhone apps is well known, but there are many sports fans who are looking for an even richer, more engaging and more rewarding experience. While fantasy football iPhone apps and fantasy basketball iPhone apps allow fans to manage their teams, once the game begins the app’s primary purpose to track scores and standings, but offers no engagement during the game. There are other free sports games online that go deeper by providing an opportunity for fans to make predictions of outcomes, scores and stats throughout the game, with correct guesses being rewarded in the form of real-value points redeemable for gift cards, sports memorabilia and merchandise.


Fans who use fantasy football iPhone apps and fantasy basketball iPhone apps enjoy connecting with the sports they love beyond just following a team or watching a game. Fantasy sports allow both casual and avid fans to engage more deeply with their favorite sports and give a competitive outlet to showcase their knowledge of the sport. However, there is a new wave of free sports games online that build on that experience. PickPointz is an example as it offers free sports games online and through its iPhone app for a variety of sports, including pro football games and pro basketball games. Unlike fantasy football iPhone apps and fantasy basketball iPhone apps which are not interactive throughout the game, Picks Pointz allows you to make predictions of final scores and statistics throughout the game and rewards you for correct guesses, earning real-value points that can be redeemed for real merchandise. Unique to Pick Points, when you play football and basketball games, there is no penalty for wrong guesses and no risk of losing money or even points. There are many other apps also available, such as FanCake, that require participation throughout the game, ultimately disrupting the viewing experience by forcing users to concentrate on the app, rather than the game itself. Pick Pointz’s free sports games online give you the choice of how much you want to interact throughout a game. The payoff is the ability to challenge your knowledge of what will happen in the game while accumulating points by correctly picking the outcome of the game, but ultimately allowing you to choose your own level of participation and enjoying the game itself.

While fantasy football iPhone apps and fantasy basketball iPhone apps will continue to be popular and provide a fun way to participate in the sports, there are new ways to interact during sporting events while earning real rewards for doing it. This complements the overall fan viewing experience, rather than impeding it by distracting from the live game itself. You can now use an iPhone app to follow the sports you love, win points and rewards, and have the opportunity to get special offers and discounts from the brands you love too.
