Windows Phone Apps: Football 24
Football is one of the most popular (if not the most popular) sports in our country. Even ordinary matches and minor changes in the composition and tactics of the teams arouse interest and lively discussions. What can we say about the excitement that rises during the days of the largest competitions, such as the World Championship. However, work, household chores, the wife's favorite TV series and just sleeping children do not always allow you to fully enjoy the Mundial while sitting in front of the big screen with a couple of bottles of tea. And here a faithful companion, friend, comrade and “lifesaver” of a modern person comes to our aid – a smartphone, as well as the Football 24 program. This application is essentially a client of the football24.ua site of the same name, entirely devoted to football, and provides access to almost all the content of the portal.
At launch, we are greeted by a “tiled” screen with the top five most rated recent materials. Scrolling the screen down, you can see another five, going to the list.
If you scroll sideways, then we will sequentially see four more screens: menus, articles, tables and “photos and videos”.
The menu screen is useful not only because it gives quick access to the necessary sections (you can just “wind up” to them quickly), but also by the “championships” item. In it, you can select any tournament of interest, and the program will immediately filter the information, leaving only information related to this competition.
It is interesting that by choosing a championship, in addition to the corresponding news feed and table, we will also receive a calendar of matches and a list of text online broadcasts.
Text online broadcasts are especially interesting if there is no opportunity to join watching the match on the big screen. Of course, text cannot match the pleasure of video broadcasting, but it's better than nothing.
Articles in the main block include both analytical materials and notes from blogs. From any text (as well as other material), you can quickly go to the corresponding page of the site, or immediately share a link to your favorite article on social networks.
Tables in Football 24 are not interactive, you can not view detailed data on the teams (as on the site), only the name and number of points. But then fast switching between different tournaments is available, which is convenient when you follow the course of several competitions at once.
In the mixed section “Photos and Video”, tiles with the last last materials are displayed on the screen, more information can be obtained if you go to the corresponding sections through the “menu” screen. Video rollers can immediately be determined based on a noticeable yellow icon with a symbol of the start of playback. The portal publishes both videos from news channels, and offers its own interviews and plots.
Photo materials contain convenient galleries where each photo can be opened in full size to consider in all details. It is a pity that the images cannot be preserved in memory of the smartphone for use as wallpaper.
As friends are known in trouble and the usefulness of programs is known in a situation where they are really necessary. Of course, “Football 24” does not have enough part of the functionality available on the “parental” portal, but at the same time the application provides all the necessary information for those who are fond of football and want to keep up with the latest events at any time and anywhere. .
The Football 24 application is available in the Windows Phone MarketPlace store. The performance was checked on the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM smartphone.
