ESPN 1.0.0.1741
For those who are often on the go and still want to catch wind of the latest results and news from the world of sports can try out on their Windows Phones a dedicated application that is suggestively called ESPN as it offers the content made available by the world-renowned sports network.
Cool and appealing GUI, with a smart layout
This application comes with a very nice appearance that features some carefully designed graphics that are consistent from end to end. The landscape orientation is the only one available when accessing the video content, while the image quality is usually very high.
As it covers the most important aspects of each sport in a simple and friendly manner, ESPN keeps everything well organized inside, so there are plenty of categories to go through and the navigation is seamless also when browsing the news lists.
Pick favorites and follow them
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, or horse racing, ESPN can't help you at this time.
The utility makes it possible for you to choose the teams you are interested in following and you will be able to view the upcoming and completed matches for all your favorites right inside the home screen.
Check out news and scores on the fly
News concerning the players, teams and anything else related to any sport included in this app can be read and shared on the fly. Also, you can easily check out the scores from the dedicated areas of each sports section you visit and even view the detailed stats for some of them.
There is a neat calendar function in the main menu hosted in the lower side of the screen that enables you to select any day and view the match results, news and other kind of content that was published on ESPN.
A neat addition is the broadcast module where you can listed to the official radio and watch SportsCenter, but only if the right application (WatchESPN) is installed onto your handset, as you will be prompted to get it to access this particular video content.
