App technology has transformed every sector, every industry, every region. The most enthusiastic - sports industry is not an exception here.

Let’s go back to our childhood and recall how we watched Sports. Remember? How crazily we followed our favorite sports star and teams and could not afford to miss those matches on television. We used to fight for the remote with our younger siblings.

Coming to our present ways of following sports, there has been an incredible development we all have witnessed, especially the mobile-savvy millennials. We no more fight for the TV remote as we can watch live matches on our personal mobile screens anywhere, anytime and record them to watch later in free time.

No wonder, mobile apps are mainstream, leaving no exception in the Sports world. As much as technology interacts with sports, people are connecting with their sporty lifestyle in a more modern way.

For instance, Amateur athletes and casual gym goers are using wearables to track their running milestones and fitness levels; kids and adults are moving to virtual reality sports for real-time playing; mobile apps are providing valuable content to endless fan followers.

Sports like soccer, football, rugby, cricket, tennis, athletics, basketball, have gained modern fan’s attention through mobile apps. Together with watching live matches, they also want to track game metrics, analyze best betting apps, follow the latest records and news on their favorite team/player, record their performance throughout the season and much more. Everything related to their beloved sports is just a tap away.

Luckily, several sports apps have served these purposes and have made an impact in the life of these sports enthusiasts. Few examples are:

BBC — Get Inspired – an app that keeps user engaged with sports updates and information

MyLocalPitch – app to find and book a sports venue as per your approach

RunSocial – an app keeping users engaged with social media while running on treadmill

ESPN – an app that provides access to users to latest sporting events happening globally

The results from Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends for 2016 by American College of Sports Medicine have revealed that sports apps are becoming the most precise method for tracking health and fitness data. They provide access to the overall content of sports world and release physical reports including walking +running distance in a day, steps walked, flights climbed for every fitness enthusiast.

Mobile apps, integrated with GPS feature, can track the distance and time covered in running, swimming, cycling and other sports activities. Through apps, fitness freaks can download useful information in the form of videos and audios.

The use of mobile technology in sports has brought unexpected transformations in the sports industry:

  • Sports apps can record real-time data, enabling people from weekend lifter to international athletes to track their workout and practice performances.
  • The app enables businesses to buy and sell tickets online for games and weekly/monthly sports events to get access to real-time data and live scores.
  • Sports messaging apps for the associated fans of the game.

  • Various mCommerce apps are committed to delivering branded products for sports enthusiasts consisting of autographed bat, football, game-used jerseys (fresh from the fields), an exclusive collection of your favorite sportsperson’s personal kit and alike.

Mobile apps have brought a different level of efficiency and productivity in sports. They satisfy any passionate, player needs of fans, club owners, athletes and associated people for establishing a strong bond with sports.

And no wonder, we love sports too. Our highly skilled professional team is made up of football fans, cricket lovers, basketball crazies.
