MSN Sports 3.1.4.491
Windows Phone users have at their disposal a quite comprehensive app called MSN Sports, which aims to bring the most popular sports closer to their fans.
Well designed interface, with a clean appearance
The application has a cool look, with the information neatly organized and easy to access at all times. The entries are neatly separated, so there is no clutter no matter where you look inside the app.
Browsing the different sections of MSN Sports is quite pleasant, as the menus move naturally, the information loads promptly and there is almost no time lost waiting for an image, video or piece of news to load.
Get the latest information about teams, players and match results
There is plenty of action inside this app, as it covers many of the most popular sports on the planet. Nonetheless, some disciplines are completely left out, so if you're interested in following an athletic reunion for example or in getting the latest results on cycling, boxing or horse racing, MSN Sports can't help you at this time.
For the listed sports however, there is plenty of information available, with videos, slideshows and news from the most important sources worldwide. You can add any number of preferred teams and follow their matches and you can also check out player profiles, view top stories and even social media activity related to them.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
Insofar as the appearance is concerned, Bing Sports is quite the looker and, what's more, it keeps all the information neatly organized, so users won't get confused or lost in the vast amount of details offered by this app. The live tiles that can be pinned to the Start screen are a plus that further increases the value of the utility. |
Function6
Thanks to the "scoreboard" area users will be able to stay up to date with the latest results of their favorite teams, as well as with those from all the preferred sports they selected. Unfortunately, some sports are a lot less documented and this may upset many of their fans. Also, a larger database that can include more sports remains only on the wishlist for the time being. |
Security8
Bing Sports behaves very well when it comes to your private data, as it doesn't make it public and even the data usage stats that can be uploaded in the background are disabled by default, unlike with other apps that send this information without even asking the user's permission. |
Battery7
The power consumption for this app is moderate and it in close relation with the number of sports and teams you have listed in the favorites area, because the bigger their number is, the greater the amount of data transferred becomes and the battery will drain a lot faster. |
Price9
In the absence of advertisements and other nagging prompts we've seen in numerous other apps, the abundance of information offered for free and the facilities provided by Bing Sports gives it very good value. |
Compatibility8
Created to function seamlessly only with the latest generation of handsets powered by Windows 8 and higher mobile operating system, the app needs only a decent screen resolution of at least 480x800 pixels. |
