FanSided releases new iOS app, available for iPhone and iPad.
Brooklyn, NY: FanSided has released a new iOS app, allowing readers sports, entertainment and lifestyle online media force to access 240 sites worth of content in one sleek app.
“We previously had individual apps for a handful of our NFL team sites,” said Patrick Allen, FanSided VP of Content. “While the apps were extremely popular, we soon realized that our readers were often visiting more than one FanSided site and so having separate apps for each of them wasn’t realistic. Creating one unified FanSided app allows our readers to get the best of what FanSided has to offer, all at the touch of a button.”
FanSided’s iOS allows users to subscribe to any one of FanSided’s 240 sites, spanning sports and entertainment. Push notifications allow the reader to be instantly notified whenever one of their favorite FanSided sites is updated. Users can read the latest articles, browse for older stories and even comment and engage with other readers, right from the FanSided app.
“We understand that fans have diverse interests, which is why we decided to expand from sports to entertainment and lifestyle earlier this year,” said FanSided COO and co-founder, Zach Best. “Now whether our readers want news on their favorite NBA team or their favorite NBA video game, they can get it all on their iPhone or iPad. With so much of our traffic coming from mobile users, we wanted to ensure that our readers could take their FanSided content with them when they leave their desktop.”
“This is just the beginning for FanSided on mobile devices,” said FanSided CPO Matt Blake. “Our team is already hard at work on an Android version of the app and that is scheduled for release this summer.”
Founded in April of 2007 by brothers Adam and Zach Best, the FanSided Network consists of 240+ sports blogs, powered by passionate fans that are dedicated to providing instantaneous news and opinions to the network’s millions of readers. In January, FanSided launched both a customizable daily email newsletter, FanSided Daily, which has garnered thousands of subscribers.
