Evolution in a Digital World
Sports Takes its Next Great Leap
Gym. Office. Lunch. Errands. Meeting. Drinks. Dinner. Laptop. Bed.
We have evolved to support perpetual motion. And there is a single compass guiding us through the head-spinning wilderness of mobile life: our phones.
iCal is my itinerary. Uber is my chariot and Instagram is my diary. But I don’t have a single application I can call my stadium. A sports app designed for our frenetic, time-deficient tendencies and for iOS itself: that modern limb we can’t seem to live without. So that whether it’s under the table in a meeting, during happy hour, or at SFO Terminal 2, I can still get the score of every game I care about in seconds.
Now, it’s finally here: a simple, elegant way to follow sports scores and sports news at once. Chat Sports has always curated articles from thousands of sources, personalized user experience by favorite teams. But now the best way to share sports with friends also delivers the fastest live scores available on iPhone.
Just as we have adapted to an on-the-go lifestyle, the applications supporting that very lifestyle have to adapt with us. And iOS8 has brought on a whole new meaning to survival of the fittest. Limited space raises the bar. So delete your “sports folder.” Erase the scores app, news app, and social app. Nix the clutter of ESPN, Yahoo! Sports, and Bleacher Report. All of that content is on Chat Sports.
Evolution isn’t always gradual — there are leaps that change the game entirely. This is one of those leaps.
Chat Sports 2.0 is the only way to follow play-by-play for multiple games on a single screen. You’ll thank me when six bowl games are playing on New Years Day. Chat Sports is the only app with a Live Hub that launches seamlessly within the newsfeed when your teams play and vanishes when they’re off. No clicks, taps, or complicated navigation needed. And it’s the only sports app built specifically for iOS: clean, crisp, and quick as lightning. First to each story, fastest to update the score.
So take the leap with me. Put a stadium in your pocket. And then ask the question: what do we gain when we lose the vestigial structures weighing us down?
