With the lockout finally over, the National Football league is once again gearing up for a great season. But, you might ask how will you best be able to enjoy the upcoming season using your iPad? We here at iPadNewsUpdates have kindly put together the top five apps that will allow you to get full enjoyment out of your iPad this NFL season.
1. NFL ‘11 for iPad (Free)
NFL ‘11 for iPad is a pretty simple app that you really can’t do without. Completely free this app will give you a rundown of all the scores and highlights from every NFL game. The app will also give you a brief synopsis of the latest NFL news and you can select your favorite team to get updates specifically tailored to you.
2. Rotowire Fantasy Football Draft Kit 2011 ($4.99)
The NFL season is always a little more fun if you are playing fantasy football right along with the real games. We recently did a review of this app as the best Fantasy Football Draft preparation app out there and you won’t want to go into your draft without the aid of this handy dandy little iPad app. Read a more in-depth review from us on this app here.
3. Decision Maker – Football 2011 ($4.99)
Now that you have drafted your fantasy team thanks to the Rotowire Draft Kit and you’re getting for week 1 of the season, you need to figure out who should start and who should sit. The Decision Maker iPad app will allow you to plug in your entire fantasy football team and then will help you decide who should get the start that week depending on a specialized rating system the developers have come up with. Perhaps the best part of this app is that it does allow you to change the data around a bit and suggest who you should start based on “best start” and “best upside”. This means you can either go by the book or take a gamble.
4. Fantasy Football Monster ‘11 HD ($4.99)
If you are a die-hard fantasy football player than this is the app for you. This particular app will make it possible to stop jumping from one fantasy football site to another and will instead aggregate your teams from Yahoo, NFL.com and ESPN.com leagues into one handy app. Fantasy Football Monster doesn’t just allow you to view your team or change the lineup but you can also pick up free agents and manage trades right from the app as well. This paid app also has a free version which can be found here.
5. School of The Legends (Free)
We’ve shown you how to follow your favorite team and how to succeed in fantasy football, but the final step in truly pairing your iPad with the NFL is getting the School of The Legends app. A relatively new entity, this site works hard at becoming the Facebook of the NFL. Past and present players will post their thoughts and interact with you the fans so you can get real time insight into what’s going on in that weeks games and maybe even behind the scenes. There is even a premium membership that will give you workout and other pointers so you can emulate your favorite stars.
