Official NBC Apps
NBC has a lock on coverage in the U.S. They’re getting plenty of criticism, but their exclusive deal lands them on our list by default. But be warned, you’ll need to prove you have a cable subscription.
NBC Olympics Live Extra (iOS, Android)
Team USA Road to London
If you’re following The U.S. Team we can recommend the Team USA Road to London app for iOS and Android.
London 2012 Official Results
For keeping track of all the winners and all the events, it’s hard to do better than the London 2012 Official Results app, for iOS and Android.
Reuters Olympics London 2012
For iOS users, Reuters Olympics London 2012 is another good choice, with push notifications, historic records and medal counts.
BBC Olympics
For Olympics news straight from the BBC, Android users should check out the BBC Olympics app.
Hi John
Just viewed ‘Top 5 Free Olympics Apps’ , very funny ending, typical British humour.
On the iOS BBC app being no longer available. I’m not too sure that is right for UK networks, I downloaded it just before the Olympics started and just last night BBC were advertising it on the TV.
Oh what was that bleeped out word?
Sorry Frank, couldn’t disagree more. As a father of four with three teenagers, so much for advocating/recommending Geekbeat to family and friends as a quirky, clean, fun-loving, and family-friendly tech show. Strike one John P. Love the show, very disappointed in this one (and yes, I get the reference, doesn’t make it any more acceptable).
Cheers,
Geoff
