NBC Olympics Live Extra App Review
NBC Olympics Live Extra
Rank: #71 on the Top 100 Free iPhone Apps List as of July 18th
For: iPad, iPhone, iPod touch
Description: If you’re a fan of the Olympics and find sports channels too limiting in the type of games being aired then prepare to wave goodbye to those disappointments with NBC’s Olympics Live Extra. This handy little app allows you 24-hour access to every event in the 2012 London Summer Olympics as well as complete replays.
Why Better? This application provides round-the-clock access to the Olympics giving fans an opportunity to witness their favorite player or team in action. Coverage of previous events subjected to limited airtime meant fans could only watch the game at a specified hour or had to rely on news networks for the final results.
Reviews: Critics applaud this innovation for its effectiveness in finally resolving issues of accessibility and coverage; both of which have haunted the Olympics ever since it was first broadcasted live. You can watch on the go, it provides full event replays, and offers multiple-camera angles.
Content: The latest version 1.1.2 comes with improved video replays and enhanced performances. If your iPad supports Retina display brace yourself for an HD adventure in great quality video at up to 1080p. Having digital video recording capabilities allow your device to capture most live streams and all playbacks.
Layout: Its other features include schedules and alert notifications as to upcoming events and a collection of the best events from the previous Beijing Olympics.
What’s Inside: Depending greatly on your cable subscription or satellite feed will decide your access to Live Streaming. It should also be noted that Olympics Video is only accessible in the U.S. and in certain American territories.
Why Download: Promoting this application hardly needs much convincing when it all boils down to two words: “Olympics, Live!”
