English Premier League: EPL App?!!

hi all,
i was wondering if there is an EPL App? Live scores, updates etc
anybody???
thanks

You would think there would be a live score app by now, but no.
Anyway, you can try using http://iphone.livescore.com from Opera. Not 100% perfect, but it works.

Yep, having my mates stick their flashy iPhone Sky Sports app in my face all the time is getting annoying!

Here is a good one, I use.
FotMob 3.0
http://www.mobilefootie.com/
​

Yea this is the only other thing I want on my phone Shame there are no graphically nice apps for this.

I second that !!!
This is chargeable (ok only a fiver for the year) and if I'm gonna pay I want it to look good like the iPhone ones...
I love my HD2 and more and more apps are looking better and better but even the crap ones on iPhone look polished!
wish I could code well enough to write one ...

Totally Agree

Viigo for WM.
Not as aesthetically pleasing as most, and doesn't give very much info about the matches, but its free.
Not very hard to get it customized to what you want to have on there - League Standings, Completed games scores, Live Scores, League schedule.
You can also put links to ur fave teams for updates about injuries, interviews with players/managers etc.
Can't show link as i'm a new member but just search Viiigo for windows mobile on google. You can download it straight from the windows mobile website free.

I use TeamStats.

Ive used team stats for a while, and while it does exactly what its supposed to, it looks like total crap! My boss, a few of my mates and my GF's Dad all have iphones with the sky sports app and theirs not only gives them all the info they need but it also looks nice too.
Why do we never see things like this for our much better in every way devices?

I personally would love a Sky Sports Score Centre App. To be perfectly honest, Sky Sports Score Centre is the only thing i envy Iphone users for.
I have in the past sent numerous emails to certain email addresses within the Sky Sports and Sky company asking if it is in development and its ETA, and if not, requesting a WM Skysports Score Centre App, but have never once received a reply about it.
Unfortunately, to me this suggests no Sky Sports Score Centre for us :-( Ofc, this is just my opinion based around the fact I have sent 20+ emails querying it and never having received a reply about it so I may be wrong.

this would be awesome...can't someone port it from the iphone app?
if i had a slight bit of know how i would do it lol

Yeh same. I don't know if it is that simple though.
There are other things out there such as tvcatchup.com Iphone App which i'm sure someone would have just done the same with that rather than having to ask TV catch up to make us a specific app if it was a simple job.
Sent another email to Sky today... to which i got a reply!! An automated response saying they would get back to me soon... Maybe we will have a final answer soon as to whether we will get Sky Sports Score Centre

Just heard back from Sky about a WM App for Sky Sports Score Centre and unfortunately doesn't currently look good for us getting an app like that of the Iphone. Boooo to Sky
Dear Mr Timms
Thank you for your email regarding Sky Mobile TV
At this time there has not been any speculation that an App for a Windows based mobile is being designed and if there was we would not be able to comment until an official release launch had be made.
I trust this information assists, however, should you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact our team on the above email address.
Kind regards

I got a running app on my Hero it's called runstar and the design looks really nice (iPhone like)

[Q] Flight Simulation on Android

Quick question,
Does anyone know of any good Flight Simulation apps for the Android?
Thanks!

X-Plane is the one I know of, it's also available on iPhone.

How is it?

I'm not normally one to play/use flight sims, but it's a high quality one in my opinion, good graphics, smooth control on my desire, and fairly easy to use, but with a lot of options. check out the site if you wanted to know more about it, just google "xplane". That's the only one I know of on android too

X-Plane is the best one. You can choose your plane, your map your Weather... you control everythings in the plane... but it cost 10$...

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X is a nice arcade flight shooter, if it's of any interest to you.

X plane is good on graphics. But doesn't have many locales. Also, you can't practice instrument approaches. Only buy it if you want to play for fun.
There are some really good iPad apps for flight simulation. Android is still far behind in this realm. Hopefully there are more apps developing.

+1 With X-Plane, a great achievement on the Platform. Am still hoping for some Retro conversions, Birds of prey for example.

X-Plane is quite a good simulator here too, I mainly play it on my Nook Color tablet though.
Curious why you say you can't do instrument only approaches? there is an instrument view where you can set the different beacon settings and you can see your glide scope etc... At least I think so. I am not a pilot, and I pretty much suck at landings so I haven't tried it. I believe I saw it in their online usage guide too.
It'd be cool if it could cache Google Maps or something and fly over.. I know the desktop version has much more detailed data in this regard and a mobile app just won't be able to, but it'd fun flying over your own house.

Great information. I plan on trying out the different sims next week, Ill let you know what I think of them.
Cheers!

@khaytsus
I am a pilot, so for me just the 6 locales are not enough. But its a great start in developing such an app which makes use of the device's gyro. Worth the buy if you want the cockpit experience.

No way! Im a flight instructor at Embry Riddle had to get the CFI, couldn't stand ifr multi or commercial. Lol.

[SHARE] Fantastic Weather Widget

Hey guys, just want to share this fantastic weather widget with you guys.
Very good widget for those looking for one just for the beautiful X10 screen.
Animated Weather for Android - Weather forecast application. The exquisitely realistic video effects of cloudiness, rain and snow provide the vivid sensation of current or future weather conditions for more than 50000 locations over the world.

Did you share it because you like it or because they offer you a free pro-version for spreading their PR-stuff?
(for an alternative that's way cheaper have a look at beautiful widgets)

Yeh, beautiful widgets does drain the battery though, and RAM usage. I actually like it, cos i personally don't like the look of beautiful widgets.
Give newb dev's a chance

Is it like the sense one or the old hd2 one?

looooool, it's a russian weather forecast app, and it exists for almost a year.

I believe he was simply sharing something he found lately,
even though it was there quite a while.
There's nothing wrong with that!

Awesome man, thanks!

LOL!!
By the way, that's a nice idea on their part.
I mean, there are people who don't own credit cards
or even can't see paid apps in the Market
and that is a good way to support the developers by spreading the word.

Please look at this one
Do you know Go Weather? In my opinion it's way better than "Animated Weather Pro", the version that is free on the Market have the coolest and incrediblest animations etc etc.

Some editions doesn't work with X10. But we are happy now, the present edition works perfectly.

P.S. I'm not receiving something to tell you so. The app is great indeed!

[GAME] Legend of the Blue Dragon

2nd app release for me.. I used to play this great BBS game called legend of the red dragon (lord) and yes, showing my age on this one
Anyway, created an api, installed the game on my server and then created the app.
Its free too.. has 2 inapp purchases but not required for game play..(remove ads/buy extra gold)
Some details:
The premise of LORD is that a Red Dragon is wreaking havoc in a town where the player has recently arrived. Multiple players compete over a period of weeks to advance their skills and to kill the dragon. In order to achieve this goal, players must face combat to gain experience. Once they have gained enough experience, they must face their master at Turgon's Warrior Training and advance in skill level. Advancement presents stronger enemies and masters; a player must reach level 12, the final level, before challenging Turgon himself and attacking the dragon.
As a BBS game, LORD uses a text-only interface.

So many fond memories of LORD.
Installing LOBD right now, will try it out on my lunch break
Recommendation for your next app: Swords of Chaos, another great fantasy BBS RPG
(Or alternatively, Planets - LORD in Space!)

We should be able to press/click on a players name and see some info about them. Whatever our character would see just by looking at them( if they are heavily armed, strong, fast...etc). Maybe an avatar too.

I was a lord master. I could rise to the top so quickly admin reset the server due to complaints I was 'hacking'.
I loved renaming the strongest weapon in the game to "a stick". Probably why people thought I was hacking. Loved lord and am now getting into this blue dragon game.

Keeps saying that my session timed out

Im glad you like the game.
I just tested and the game seems ok for me.
thanks

Fun game. Finding the options are too small. I was fighting a higher level enemy and was almost about to win when I accidentally tapped run vs fight. They are too small and close together to easily select things. In the weapons and armor stores you have buttons. Perhaps buttons for fight and run in a row, then automatic options in the next row?
Pretty cool game. I like it. Its simple and I didn't want to put it down last night.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

Not avalible in your country prf... ( serbia)

Where i can download LOBD?

Loved lord. I was just a kid but that game was sweet! Looking forward to trying this one out

Google.. working to get it back in the market.. I am attaching it here for you though. This is also the newest version. I have started the process of putting most of my apps on amazon since google basically can close your account for zero reason and no recourse but send them email which will go unanswered.. sorry.. a bit pissed about the whole situation.

Before your reply i pulled the apk and emailed it to myself.
What's the difference between my ooold version and this?
(downloads before answer anyway)

I removed option to remove remove ads via purchase and the ability to buy gold both of which used inapp purchases but since google screwed me.. I am releasing it to amazon which does not support google inapp purchase.
Its been over a week that google killed my account and still no reply to my question of why.
