The BBC have launched a ‘BBC Olympics smartphone app’ available on Android and iPhone, with a shortcut for Blackberry devices. BBC Future Media’s Mobile Platforms team, based alongside us at Mediacity UK in Salford, built the app.
The BBC Olympics app is built on the same content as the Olympic mobile website, including:
• thousands of hours of live video during the Games plus highlights of the best medal-winning moments
• a page for each of the 36 Olympic sports – with medal tallies, news stories and key facts
• minute-by-minute live text commentary to give you that crucial overview of 36 sports during the live action
• comprehensive schedule and results service to help you stay in touch with all the results as they happen
