NHL Scores & Alerts 1.0.2.0
Hockey aficionados who own a Windows Phone device have at their disposal a dedicated app that goes by the name of NHL Scores & Alerts and which brings at their fingertips upcoming matches, live and finished game scores.
Neat looking GUI, with a practical touch
The main focus when it comes to the visual appearance of this utility seems to be on practicality and ease of use, as the graphics are quite simple, yet nice enough to look upon.
The information is structured in a neatly organized fashion, so that you can access the desired section and view the results or other details right on the spot.
Going through the articles, news sources and other areas of NHL Scores & Alerts has a smooth feel to it, as there are no delays or flaws of any similar kind.
The good impression is spoiled by some advertisement banners that appear after a while in the lower side of the screen, where they are constantly changing and flashing.
Check out detailed standings and match results
You can view the latest scores or access the results for the previous day from the dedicated section. The upcoming matches for the current and next day are properly shown, with the scheduled time of the kick off.
When looking at the details of a finished game you can view not only the general score, but also the results of each period, the two teams skaters and goaltenders.
What's more, for each player there is a separate row where the figures for the currently loaded game are shown. This means you can view details like the total goals scored, the assists as well as the number of shots on goal.
There is another special area called "Teams" where you can view the game schedule for every NHL squad, with the results as well. In there you will find a drop-down menu that enables you to choose the month and view this info.
Game notifications and alerts at a glance
NHL Scores & Alerts is also useful when it comes to getting notified about game events, as it allows you to configure for every upcoming match some alerts to learn about the time when the game starts, when the periods end or if any goals are scored.
To make it easier for you to keep track of the matches you want to follow, the app supports live game tiles, so you can view at a glance the exact tie when the game is scheduled to begin and also the number of wins and loses for each of the two teams.
The information is updated regularly and with a very good frequency, as you can setup the updates to take place at 10 to 60 seconds time intervals.
