Whether it’s the famous football final, the college basketball playoffs or just about any major sporting event, there’s a wealth of apps out there to enhance your enjoyment and appreciation of the big game.

Here are some examples…

Stream the live video…Just about every major sporting event is now streamable via a TV network’s app — so you won’t have to miss a second of the game, even if you’re on the go.

…or just listen in.

Of course, you can’t always be looking at your phone, particularly when driving. Fear not: there’s bound to be an app that offers official, radio-style commentary on your game.

Get the official app.

To give you the most relevant information at your fingertips, all the major sporting events and teams now have their own apps to satisfy their fans’ desire for news and stats.

Chat with other fans.

Sports-centric mobile chat-room apps like PlayUp™ and FanKave™ make it possible to discuss the action with fans from across the world, as it happens.

Stay alert.

When your favorite team is in the big game, there will be a cornucopia of stats and commentary constantly popping up across the Web. Apps like Team Stream™ provide alerts that help you stay up-to-date.

See the stats.

You can always tell a real sports fan by their ability to spout detailed stats. Now, with apps like theScore and Yahoo!® Sports, you can keep pace with the stat geeks by accessing a stream of real-time game statistics.

Make it “interesting.”

Betting on sporting events may not be wise or even legal where you reside, but apps like Gamblino™and Sports Betting™ give you all the fun of predicting who’ll win and who’ll score, without losing your shirt.

Behind every great app there’s a great API.

APIs are the interfaces that link mobile apps to backend IT resources, enabling all sorts of dynamic online experiences. But making APIs run securely and efficiently can be a tough game.

Companies that play to win use API MANAGEMENT technology to publish secure, manageable mobile APIs that power great app experiences.
