If your Simple Bracket or printed out bracket hasn’t been busted by now, then you’re simply from another planet.
There are still some bets to be made off this Final Four Weekend. But, by and large, college basketball season is over and baseball enters into sports fans’ minds. Last night, the Houston Astros defeated the Texas Rangers with a final score of 8-2 in MLB’s Opening Night. The Astros debut in the American League isn’t the only new highlight this baseball season, though.
Fantasy sports are commonly associated with the NFL. And with only a 16-game season to keep track of on a weekly basis, football shall reign supreme within this sector for the foreseeable future. According to Forbes, the fantasy sports industry averaged a 12 percent growth rate between 2007 to 2012, which lends itself to yearly profits at around $397 million on $1.1 billion in revenue during that time span. And by 2017, this market will reach $1.7 billion through the expected nearly nine percent annual growth measures. One of the primary drivers behind this progression is apps, which is gradually inflowing throughout all aspects in sports.
“For many sports fans, their mobile device is now the ‘first-screen’ ahead of desktop and even television,” said Jonathan Savage, Vice President of Product for theScore, Inc.
Currently, there are 111 and 173 search results under “fantasy baseball” within the App Store and Google Play, respectively. One wouldn’t think there would be that much product development or interest for this category due to the high number of games in baseball’s regular season, yet those search queries proves otherwise. ESPN and Yahoo!’s fantasy baseball apps are surely the dominant properties where users create their leagues. Nevertheless, fantasy owners always are looking elsewhere to find any other competitive advantage they can find.
theScore App serves as supplementary platform that gives fantasy owners the edge they need. This app primarily helps with monitoring and managing players in a more convenient way. Recently, it went through some cosmetic changes in order to provide an interface that’s easy to use and navigate across the menu items. More importantly, all the information within this app derives from Rotowire, which has been a trusted and premium source among fantasy sports users. This app is now available to download for free on both iOS and Android ecosystems.
Some of the top features include:
My Player: Here users can create groups of players so they can track everyone on their fantasy league in one expedient location, including player news, stats and other vital data, building an entirely customized view.
My Score: This facet enables fans to follow all their favorite teams in one place, making it easy to stay on top of the latest scores, news, stats and standings.
Baserunner Diamond: A unique snapshot of who is on base in each game, as well as how many outs there have been record as the game is going on live.
Calendar: It’s always beneficial to download one’s favorite team’s schedule into one’s phone’s calendar, which helps finding out exactly when and where they are playing.
Share with Friends: An app wouldn’t be complete without embedded social components to connect with Facebook and Twitter to tell the world when one’s team has hit a home run or won a game.
Savage elaborated further on the app’s capabilities: “With 162 games during the regular MLB season, we know that managing a fantasy baseball team can be a full-time job. People are busy, so they need a way to track their roster straight from their mobile device whenever they please. theScore allows them to do just that thanks to our in-depth player news and stats features, including push alerts for breaking news. This app delivers the ultimate service for fantasy league players and sports fans in general, giving them access to real-time stats, scores, standings and news, together with personalization options so they can really make the app their own.”
With more than 3.75 million active monthly users, theScore App can come in handy during the long summer days of the current MLB season.

theScore Mobile was updated to Version 3.5.3 on February 20, 2013. It has a total of 40,316 customer ratings with an average of four out of five stars. Feedback from users has been positive overall with many users relying on this app as their number one source for sports information and news. One complaint from users is that the new update has provided stationary ads which blocks content, rather than scrolling with the rest of the app.
There is really not much to dislike about the app; other than the new ads being slightly annoying, this is a solid app. I really like the new Player Card Profiles that have been added, allowing for a more in-depth look at your favorite athletes.

The Google Play store is currently filled to the brim with sports related apps. Some provide the latest NFL updates admirably, while some pump fast news about NBA. But many are subpar and filled with annoying half screen ads. theScore gets away from the cumbersome mechanics usually associated with sports score and news apps, and provides a seamless and fast experience. It doesn’t matter which game you are following or what match you want to check, theScore has got you covered. And the best thing of all is that it’s absolutely free.
Developed by the company which is literally called theScore, Inc. the app provides you with constant score updates and news related to the game you love. Are you a Lakers fan? And want to know who is going play the next game, theScore will provide you with latest news and scores blazingly fast. It’s a bummer when you have to do work during the match, fire up theScore and you will be connected to the game in no time. Wife nagging you to go to a lame wedding or the boss wants you for another shift; with theScore on your side you will still be able to “catch” the game.
The smooth and easy interface is a treat to navigate; easy customization allows you to follow any team you want. The theScore even lets you check out schedule, news or injuries regarding your favorite team. Following individual players is also included, a feature which will be god-send for many who are into fantasy sports. A nifty widget is also included for free, which makes checking the score as easy as turning your phone on. Social media integration is also continuous and laidback, one tap and you will be tweeting scores and posting on Facebook. Apart from occasional lags, which to be honest should not be there in a mostly text based app; theScore is a joy to use. Inclusion of junior leagues and other sports would defiantly make this app among the best of the best, which is exactly what the developer is working on. With a specially designed tablet version on the way the theScore is highly recommended to the sports buffs out there, you won’t be disappointed.
