MSN Sports 1.1.0
A nice app that you can use is MSN Sports, but it's a bit limited so you might want to check out some information on it before you actually install it on your phone.
Simplistic interface with not too many features
The app launches directly with the screen filled with all sort of matches and scores that you can check out. But it doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions to get you started, still it has a side menu that lets you access all sections inside the app and lets you monitor the evolution of your favorite teams.
Users can also log into their Microsoft accounts and sync information across devices. You also have the option of switching between multiple editions and allowing notifications for when important events occur. The app needs some permissions from your phone, but you can disable the ones that require access to your location services.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The interface is really nice with plenty of features and sections arranged into a side menu on the left of the screen. |
Function8
It works just fine, having many ways in which you can keep track of your favorite teams and sports, but it doesn't grant offline access. |
Security8
It needs access to quite a few areas of your phone, but it shouldn't really pose any privacy issues especially if you don't sign in with an account. |
Battery4
Consumption is quite high, so keep an eye on resources when using this app. |
Price9
It has some ads, but they're mainly to Microsoft or MSN, but there's no option of removing them. |
Compatibility7
It should work on devices running Android version 4.1 or later, making it inaccessible to some users. |
It's a nice app but it really could use some more sports and features.
