I was curious if anyone has tried this Sports Handicapping Service? I encountered his video on Youtube and it turns out the service is sold through clickbank which means it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee. Was wondering what peoples thoughts were.

I prefer sports tap. I use both but I like sports tap’s interface…it seems less busy.

Hey everyone, I’m Logan, the lead developer of SportsTap. I just wanted to thank you for the review and clear a few things up. Our pro sports pages actually do refresh every 30 seconds, with only the more minor sports updating every 60 seconds. Also, with the way our application infrastructure is set up, we make many changes to the application without having to push an update through the App Store. For example, we just recently added TV network listings for future events, which is available immediately to all users without an update. Thanks!

Nothing updates as fast as ESPN.com, I wish they’d make an app for it though because the lag through safari kills me.

A fourth hat in for ScoreMobile, which is probably my favorite app available for the iPhone. ESPN’s mobile site is a good backup if you’re stuck with EDGE, but yeah, ScoreMobile provides top stuff for the iPhone. Nice interface, extreme details, and full betting lines for the gamblers out there. Highly recommended.

Another vote for m.EPSN.com! It’s fast, even on Edge, always up-to-date, and has any sport you can think of. Plus, I can login and check my fantasy teams if the urge strikes me.

hotdcp, both the apps reviewed are free...

and the answer to your question is time. Both these apps give you quick loading and well formatted scores/stats/standings without fighting your way thru articles/pics etc. If I want a detailed report of why my hometown qb was injured, I'll go to Espn.com/NFL.com but if I want the quick stats and score. I pull up sportacular

I use this free app Score Mobile here in Canada. It is a free app that gives detailed stats for the nba. It shows you FGM-FGA, FTM-FTA and 3PtM-3PtA on top of the normal pts, reb, assists and blocks. If Score mobile is available in the US, look into it or else get a canadian itunes acct to download it.

I tried sportstap before but the stats are not updated frequently. I will give sportacular a try since I like the fact that I can keep tap of my fantasy players.

what happened to Nfl.com, ESPN.com, NAAC.com, googlenews.com etc…where you can get results for free without clogging your phone with garbage in your phone storage. Think wise men.

Sportacular is much better in just the fact that the updates are more frequent. If you really care about the other sports that Sportstap gives you, then you don’t have much choice. But if you are a fan of the major sports, then Sportacular is the way to go. But I must say that I am very appreciative of both developers to bring us such great apps for FREE!!! Thank you both!
