NBC Sports Live Extra 1.8.2.1
For those who want to receive onto their mobile devices the latest news from one of the most well-known sources in the U.S. have the possibility to try out NBC Sports Live Extra.
Tidy looking and well-organized interface
This application comes with a decent appearance, pretty decent overall and with some carefully designed graphics that are consistent from end to end.
The content is structured in a friendly manner, making it easy to browse and access, but right off the bat you will surely notice the lags in loading the videos. There are also some announcement banners at the bottom of the screen that hinder the view a bit.
The main menu is kept hidden and a tap on the corresponding button will reveal is as a sidebar docked to the left side of the screen, with all the functions and commands in plain sight.
Browse the sports, schedules and pick your favorites
Any user who wants to stay informed about the upcoming matches or other events will surely appreciate the built-in notification feature of NBC Sports Live Extra, that can remind you about live events as they start or even with 15 or 30 minutes ahead.
Checking out the schedule to see when talk-shows and live coverage start is always at hand, thanks to the dedicated feature you will find in the main menu.
The list of sports on which the app focuses is pretty slim, so you might have very few entries to add to your "Favorites" list in the corresponding category.
Watch and manage videos on the fly
NBC Sports Live Extra relies mostly on video content and most of the clips in the "Live" section will only be available after you log into your account on the page of the cable or satellite provider.
The other clips can be watched without needing a subscription to any service and there are several options at your disposal before and also during the playback.
Thus, the app allows you to pin to the Start screen the preferred videos or add them to the "Favorite" section. Also, you can view the detailed info associated with each clip and if you feel like letting your friends know about that event, send them a link using the sharing options at your disposal.
