Fantasy Football News 1.2.0.0

Get all the fantasy football information right onto your mobile phone with a dedicated app
The numerous participants in various fantasy sports leagues are always on the lookout for the latest news and statistics. The online services that offer this kind of information are quite a few and for users who are mostly on the go there are some interesting alternatives.

Windows Phone users, for instance, have at their disposal an application that was created specifically for this purpose and was suggestively called Fantasy Football News.

Interesting appearance with a rather easy to use layout

The utility is designed mainly for practical use, but it still has some visually appealing elements inside the GUI. Even so, the background image and most of the graphics seem less polished and when entering the area where the information is kept, the looks tend to become really dull.

The content is fairly well structured, with all the sources at hand and the details presented in an easy to read form. There are some minor glitches when moving through the various sections of the app, more precisely some delays in loading the info and in returning to the previous screen.

News headlines and professional analysis one tap away

With Fantasy Football News you will be able to read the latest articles posted on many dedicated official and community sites. Thus, you will have at your disposal NFL news, Sports Illustrated or Fox Sports articles, each from its own dedicated category.

Unfortunately, the content is not displayed inside the app, as it will direct you to the original page once you tap on the link that is the article title.

Player projections and stats close at hand

The analysts from ESPN, Yahoo! Sports CBS Sports and others will help you make a good idea about the events in fantasy football and here are some podcasts and video links available as well, so you can enjoy a more complete experience.

The key projections for each position on the field are at your fingertips from the dedicated section of Fantasy Football News, so you can view the stats for each player included on the list.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
 

There are very few things that can be seen as visually appealing and the relative ease of use and fair structuring of the content earn some good points here.

Function7
 

The amount of information brought by this application is limited, but it offers access to many sources that contain many of the news and stats any fantasy football aficionado would find extremely useful.

Security7
 

Fantasy Football News needs to look into several areas of the system, like the phone dialer, owner and phone identities or the multimedia libraries, for no good reason.

Battery3
 

The amount of energy required by this utility to function is very large and the battery usage soars to extremely high levels

Price8
 

This app is a useful news and statistics aggregator, but it has its limitations, so it only has a decent value overall.

Compatibility9
 

Prepared to function on most Windows Phone devices out there, this application only needs version 7.5 of the OS to run well.
