Mirror Football iPhone app improved and FREE for new season
MirrorFootball.co.uk has announced that it is launching an updated version of its popular iPhone football app, packed with new features to coincide with the start of the 2011/2012 football season. Best of all, football fans will be able to get the app for free across all of Apple’s global App Stores to bring Mirror Football to even more football fans.
Building on the success of the MirrorFootball.co.uk website (3.8m unique users in June 2011.Source: ABC) the app allows users to personalise their homepage with a bookmark for their chosen Premier League club. It also offers extensive photo and video-led content, club-specific news and live match-trackers for minute-by- minute results, as well as new global fan blog content.
Giving fans instant access to a 24/7 news service wherever and whenever they want, the app features a wealth of exclusive daily opinion pieces from award-winning writers and football legends including Oliver Holt, transfer gossip expert Darren Lewis, Martin Lipton, Robbie Savage and Mark Lawrenson. Users can comment on articles and send them on to friends and publish to Twitter and Facebook. And something new for the 2011/2012 season is a series of global football fan blogs, so that fans can read analysis from Spanish, Italian, French, South American, MLS and Football League bloggers.
