Best Apps: Sports

SportsSports fans will love the apps in this section. You can have the latest scores pushed to your iPhone, track game action live, and access just about any stat you can think of. But these apps aren't just for fans. There are apps that let golfers use the iPhone's GPS capability to pinpoint their position on the golf course and tell then the distance to the pin—and to potential hazards. There are apps that help you improve your performance in various sports, keep score, learn the rules, and find out if weather conditions are favorable. There's over 6,000 titles in this section, so whatever sport you're interested in, you'll probably find an app for it.
