Windows Phone Central App Roundup: 2022 Summer Olympics

Windows Telephone Central'due south Roundup of the 2022 Olympic Game apps

[With the Olympics kicking off this evening, nosotros figured nosotros would bump our roundup of apps for Windows Phone that volition keep you upwardly to date on the massive sporting event. -- Daniel]

The official Olympic app hit the Marketplace a few days ago, London 2022, and these are a few of the alternatives that stood out to us. Some stand out stronger than others and some take features that have them stand out a picayune.  Also remember that this is merely a sampling of what is available. The number of Olympic apps at terminal count was pushing thirty.  If you lot've got a favorite Olympic app that didn't make the cut, experience costless to share in the comments.

London 2022 TT (free): The TT in London 2022 ways "Timetable" and the app does simply that. It spreads out the Olympic game schedule rather nicely in panoramic fashion. You take a page showing the current games underway, a page for the games up next, a page with the overall schedule for the games and a folio breaking things down past sport.

From the three-dot menu you can pull up news items on the games, filter out the sports, access the app'due south settings and view the About screen.

Two features stand out with London 2022 TT. Get-go is that if yous tap on a particular game, you can set a reminder for that game. Second, you can pivot a sport to your Start Screen for quick access.

London 2022 TT is a gratuitous, ad supported app that you tin can snatch upwards here at the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Olympics 2022 (gratis): Olympics 2022 offers a principal menu that sends y'all to a listing of the Olympic venues, sports, Paralympic sports, and a news feed page. The venue and sports listing pages will offer yous the number of events and athletes involved.

Dissimilar London 2022 TT, Olympics 2022 lacks any scheduling of the games. It'southward forcefulness rests with the news feed and that isn't all that strong. I could run into Olympics 2022 being a supplemental app to i of the others in our roundup. It just lacks girth.

Olympics 2022 is a costless, ad supported app that you can find here at the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Olympics (free): Olympics is an extensive news reader for the 2022 games. The app'south chief page is a search page where you can search for news, videos, and images based on Country, Sport or Athlete. Not sure what you lot desire to expect for? Only tap "all news".

At the present, Olympics is merely a news reader but an update is in the works to add the game schedule and medals tables to the mix. We'll keep our fingers crossed that the update hits before the showtime of the games.

Olympics is a free, advertizement supported app that you tin observe here at the Windows Telephone Market place.

Olympics (gratuitous): I know. It become's disruptive when all the apps are titled "Olympics" or "London 2022". While Olympics, adult by Pocket Software, may not stand out by it's proper noun, information technology does stand out by it's content.

The main pages of Olympics contain pages listing the Events (cleaved down by sport), a list of the Venues, a Schedule of events listed by appointment, and a News Page. At that place's also a Information folio that tells you about other apps from the developer, a link to the official 2022 Olympics website and access to the Olympics About screen.

The forcefulness of Olympics rests with mapping. If you pull up a venue listing yous tin show the location on your Bing map. Pull up an issue and you tin can pull upwardly navigation to the venue from your current location. The event schedules haven't been added so we aren't sure if you tin can set reminders or pivot an event to the Beginning Screen. Even without such features, the mapping alone makes Olympics stand out amongst the other Olympic apps.

Olympics is a free app that you can grab here at the Windows Phone Marketplace.

2012 Olympic News (costless): 2012 Olympic News is, every bit you would gauge, a news reader for the Olympics. The app lays everything out nicely with pages for what's new on Facebook concerning the Olympics, the latest images from Flickr, Twitter chat using the hashtag #London2012, and a news feed page for several major news outlets.

The image folio tin be pinned to your Start Screen for like shooting fish in a barrel reference and news stories can be shared via email. 2012 Olympic News' force is the library in which the news stories are pulled from. Sources include the BBC, New York Times and USA Today. The only thing missing is ESPN or another dedicated sports news agencies.

Equally with the other apps, 2012 Olympic News is a free, advertising supported app that you tin find here at the Windows Telephone Marketplace.

Then in that location you have information technology our 2022 Olympic app roundup. The great thing nigh each of these apps is that they are free and then you tin can load them all and pull from each of their strengths.  Proceed in mind that some of these apps are waiting for content updates.  Game schedules may not exist set in stone and team rosters may not accept been finalized.  Nigh apps will display an update alerting y'all that the content is pending just sometimes information technology'south not equally obvious.

We are all the same looking for two more than 2022 Olympic app releases. Outset is the companion app to the official Olympics app, London 2022 Bring together In. Bring together In is a mobile guide to help people plan, enjoy and share their Games experience for the Olympics and Paralympics. Second is Ripple that has already released the iOS version and should have the Windows Phone app out any day now. Ripple incorporates scores, medals, and news into a map view of the games.
