Boxing Live 1.0.0.0

Get the latest professional boxing news and videos right onto your phone's screen
Just like the fans of other sports, boxing enthusiasts are keen to gain quick access to inside information about the latest matches and check out the training sessions, press conferences and other public appearances of their favorite fighters.

For Windows Phone users there is an app called Boxing Live that was meant to bring in the spotlight the most interesting events in this sport.

Plain GUI with a dull look and a decent layout

This utility is made for practical use rather than to be visually appealing since it doesn't feature any cool graphics. The main advantage of the front-end is the neat structuring of the content into relevant categories.

Going through the news articles, browsing the video list, as well as the upcoming events or the results sections is done in a simple and smooth manner, lacking any delays or other glitches. On the downside, the ever-present ad banners are to be found everywhere inside the application, in the lower part of the screen.

Read the news and view interesting videos from a single place

Boxing Live opens up with a disappointingly empty "News" section, which means that you will be able to get your info from the "More News" area, where you can opt for the news feed of Sky Sports, Yahoo Sports, BBC Sport – Boxing or Boxing Insider.

Better prepared is the "Showtime Vids" module, where you will get a nice selection of clips related to the latest upcoming or passed events. The list with the fights to come and the recent results is as simple as it gets, with all the details presented on a white sheet of virtual paper.

Unfortunately, there are some other sections inside this app, namely the "Tweets" and the "Boxing Chat", which are lacking content because of some presumable connection problems, so the application is rather limited in terms of functionality and information it can provide.

Bottom Line
Design / UI4
 

The looks of this utility are not impressive and in fact quite unsatisfying, especially when taking into consideration the nuisance that comes from the advertisements shown in every corner of the app.

Function4
 

There are few things that this app is able to carry out in full and it doesn't serve its purpose as it should, having a lot of defects and functional flaws.

Security7
 

Boxing Live is quite inquisitive, as it need sot look into the phone dialer, owner and phone identities and in other areas of the system.

Battery8
 

The power consumption for this utility is low to moderate and this means the battery usage will remain well within normal levels.

Price6
 

For those who want to get some information about boxing events, this application is barely worth the trouble of downloading and installing it.

Compatibility9
 

Anyone with a Windows Phone 7.5 and higher handset will be able to have this app installed and running in no time.
