The NFL Releases An Official App For iPad Featuring Complete Draft Coverage
April 21, 2011
The NFL regular season may or may not take place in 2011, but the Draft is still right on schedule, and this year you'll be able to follow along on your iPad for free with the new official NFL 2011 app.
With the NFL regular season still a few months out -- once again, if it takes place at all -- NFL 2011 for iPad is mostly focused on the upcoming Draft, which begins on Thursday, April 28th and goes through April 30th. The app will allow you to watch live video coverage of the Draft, review which positions your team needs the most help at, view detailed breakdowns of each player drafted, and set alerts for when your favorite team is on the clock.
Besides Draft coverage, the app also allows you to read general NFL news and news related to your favorite team, view the entire NFL schedule and team schedules, and view statistical breakdowns of each matchup.
If there is a regular season, the NFL has promised much more content via updates, which hopefully includes features like game highlights, Fantasy Football integration, and roster breakdowns.
NFL 2011 for iPad is now available in the App Store for free. It does contain ads, but they aren't too distracting since they are small and match the general theme of the app.
