Alongside full live streaming, catch-up coverage and highlights, the app ensures you always have a comprehensive, trustworthy Games guide at your fingertips, even on-the-go. Offering detailed facts, stats and information, the app generates pages for every athlete, country and sport, updated in real-time. You can also access live daily text commentaries, news stories and a detailed schedule and results section covering every Olympics event.
Extra functionality allows stories to be saved for offline reading, ensuring the latest information is accessible even when mobile reception is unavailable. Additionally, iOS users can personalise the app by adding their favourite Olympics sports to the customisable tab bar, enabling quick access to the latest live action.
Phil Fearnley, General Manager BBC News & Knowledge, said: ?For the first truly digital Olympics, we needed to ensure that everyone could access our quality coverage wherever they were, across multiple devices. The free BBC Sport Olympics app for UK Android and iOS smartphones ensures that everything you need to keep up-to-date with the action is right there at your fingertips. Even when you?re out of range of 3G or wireless, we?ll still be able to deliver the latest news to you offline.
Unfortunately, due to TV licensing agreements, the app will only be available in the UK. If you are looking for a way to follow the Olympics from outside the UK, NBC has two new apps that will provide you with all the coverage you need.
