Free CBS Sports App Brings The Latest Scores to Your BlackBerry

The BlackBerry sports app market has grown quite a bit over the last year. John let me know that CBS Sports has their own app that we have not mentioned before. I cannot tell how long it has been around for but it gets pretty decent reviews. The app is powered by the BlackBerry savvy team at Polar mobile so they get a nice head start just from that.

The CBS Sports Mobile app gives you access to live scores from the NFL, MLB, College Football, College Basketball, NBA, NHL and more! The one sport that I immediately noticed was missing was Soccer/Football but that makes sense since the app is sadly limited to only US based App World users. Other features let you track the sports you care about and share information through your social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

You can find the free CBS Sports Mobile app in App World at this link. As I mentioned above it is limited to the US only so keep that in mind.

TSN Mobile: Blackberry Edition beta now available for download

Into sports and looking for a great app to keep up to date on standings, scores and more? Why not check out the freshly pressed beta of the TSN Mobile app for BlackBerry. Previously only available to iPhone users, the TSN Mobile app has made the leap to the BlackBerry platform with the release of the first beta.

TSN brings all the sports information in its number one iPhone app to the Blackberry.

A beta test of the application, featuring thorough coverage of the five major leagues (NHL, CFL, NFL, MLB and NBA) was released in early October 2010. Many more sports will be added throughout the month, with a final release slated for early November.

Having tried it out on my 9700 the new app is great for all the essentials. However, installing it on my BlackBerry Torch led to some not so poitive results. I’m sure that will be corrected over time as TSN never claimed it would work on the Torch now anyways. Be sure to check it out though if you are looking for a great app to keep track of sports scores and more.
