Fantasy Football mobile apps are a big portion of how people stay connected with their teams, use cheat sheets and just plain enjoy the game. So what are the best apps and why are they the best. To figure out the best mobile applications for Fantasy Football I looked at blogs, news articles, and even downloaded a few myself to try out. Here are the best 4 apps for Fantasy Football:
1.) Yahoo! Fantasy Football '11
What makes the Yahoo! app at the top for myself is the user interface. It seems a lot easier to navigate than some of the other applications. This app like many of the other popular Fantasy Football mobile apps is FREE. So as in earlier posts, Free comes at a price, but in this app advertisements don't seem to be too much of a bother. I think the best parts about this application are the Live Scoring function and Roster Management. From reading past reviews online many people complained about the application having difficulty with glitches but I found that it works pretty well in the current version.
2.) ESPN Fantasy Football '11
This application is really similar to Yahoo! but does offer some different features such as of course it has links and provides much of the content you would see on ESPN both televised and online. ESPN is another FREE application, but it's advertisements mainly focus around ESPN so it is less noticeable that they are there. One of the biggest differences I see is the app allows for is in the FantasyCast Live Scoring, which allows for real-time detailed information and specifics about match-ups. This app also allows for a lot more news and tweets directly from ESPN's analysts. Now it is important to note that you can purchase an app for $2.99 that is a manager and a mix of both ESPN and Yahoo!, but if you like the free app and you have a preference you can have that option as well.
3.) NFL Fantasy Cheat Sheet '11
I found this app to be good for beginner to Fantasy Football leagues, which includes me. Especially if it's your first time, you probably feel the need to do a ton of research, this app takes a lot of the work out of it. My favorite part of this app is that it feature
s a pick recommendation search that helps you pick players, search rankings, and see who is making it week by week. This app is $2.99 but it comes with really great information and the NFL name behind it. So if you're starting out or even if you have been playing Fantasy Football for awhile this app is well worth the cost.
4.) Fantasy Football Insider '11
Last, but certainly not least, is the Fantasy Football Insider. This pick happened because it is both Free and if you want you get the premium version for a price. This is one of the first apps I got to look at Fantasy Football and it is still one of my favorites. My other favorite part of this app is the integrated Twitter feed, where you can look at all of your favorites players, analysts, and friends. The other best part of this app is that it offers video content. Wouldn't it be great if they integrated somehow with oovoo.com?
What's your favorite application or what apps get you through Fantasy Football season?
