Sports fans around the globe like being updated about news related to the sports world. Every sports fanatic knows that it is not possible to be up to date with all the news and all the leagues being played just by watching TV. Because of different time zones, it becomes more of a headache.
There’s where sports apps rescue you. They provide you with live updates of games and stats. You can schedule the game you do want to watch on TV. Here are some of our personal favorites.
1. Yahoo! Sports
