NBA Scores & Alerts 2.0.3.0
With a suggestive name, NBA Scores & Alerts is designed to accommodate the needs of Windows Phone users who cannot watch the live games, but still want to stay in touch with what's going on on the court.
Well organized front-end with decent graphics
This application offers a simple and efficient interface for all those who want to stay connected with the NBA action. The information is presented in a clear manner and structured into several relevant categories for increased ease of use.
Browsing the different sections of the utility is quite pleasant, as the menus move naturally, the information loads promptly and there is almost no time lost waiting for the data to load in any of the app's areas.
The only hindrance comes from the animated adverts that seem to be glued to the bottom of the screen where they keep on changing regardless of the area you are currently in.
View the scores and standings at a glance
The current standings are always at your disposal from the dedicated area of the app and you can also check out the detailed stats for each match. Thus, you have at your disposal the starters and bench players for both teams and the scores for each quarter.
More than that, each player has its own row where the figures for the currently loaded game are shown, so you can view details like the total points scored, the rebounds and assists as well as the personal fouls committed.
Inside the "Teams" area you can check out the regular and post season game schedule for each NBA team. There is a useful menu that allows you to pick the desired month and view the results or upcoming matches
Set alerts and notifications for any upcoming match
With this utility you can easily activate and configure a set of alerts that can keep you posted when the game starts, when each period ends and if the lead changes.
Apart from these notifications, you also have the possibility to pin live tiles for all the matches you want to follow and just by looking at the Start screen see the start hour and the team win-loss record.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The appearance of this utility seems less attractive, but the graphics are nonetheless tidy and the layout pretty well-thought-out, despite of the advertisement banners. |
Function8
NBA Scores & Alerts is prompt at delivering score updates, with custom intervals, while the team standings and player stats are most welcomed. |
Security6
The application requires access in a lot of areas of the system, some of which are rather sensitive, like the phone dialer or the owner and phone identities. |
Battery6
The power usage is well above moderate and when the score updates are set to take place very often, the battery consumption increases. |
Price9
All the information provided by this utility comes completely free, so it is a very good deal, even if users will have to endure the ad banners. |
Compatibility10
Most Windows Phone devices are suitable for running this app, as versions 7.5 and above of the operating system are supported. |
