IPL 2012: Mobile apps to feed your T20 addiction..


With temperatures rising and IPL just about to begin, we give you a few apps that could help you stay updated with the latest scores while on-the-move.

To start with, let's look at some apps specially created for IPL.
IPL Dugout

The app uses orange and white as 2 basic colour schemes. The user interface is pretty simple. The menu, which gives you a range of options like Teams, Points, Fixtures, Results, to name a few, is laid out in two columns.

The Home screen flashes the Live score and supposedly also has an in-built ticker for scores and IPL news. The Points table is very simple. It enlists all the teams along with their wins, losses, matches played etc. The Teams option helps you see the list of teams playing this year along with the owner of each team. You can also tap on each team to get individual details of all the players.

The Results option gives you winner details of all the previous IPL matches since 2008 until last year. To go back to the main menu, just tap on the tiled icon in the top right hand corner of your screen.

You can also view the Orange cap and Puprle cap holders, maximum sixes and the longest six of a particular match under the IPL Leader category. While Fixtures give you the entire schedule for all matches, On the Map option uses Google Maps to help track all the stadiums where the matches are scheduled. It also claims to give you locations of nearby restaurants or places screening the matches.

There's also a News section that keeps you updated with the latest from the IPL. Twitter and Facebook integration is available through an option called Heartbeat.

The Android version of the app also has a voice assistant that claims to give you score updates at periodic intervals even when minimised
