onstantly updated with the latest scores
Follow the big game, play by playGet the power and depth of Yahoo! Sports, one of the leading sources of sports information on the Web, as an app for your Android device. Yahoo! Sportacular is chock full of all the breaking news, scores, schedules, and details that sports fans crave. This app crams so much into one small package, it’s borderline ridiculous. No matter what’s going on in the world of sports, you’ve got the details right at your fingertips, wherever you are.
From Football Fanatics to NASCAR Nuts
Sportacular covers the gamut of major sports. NCAA football and basketball? Check. Pro baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and soccer (domestic and foreign)? All accounted for. Golf, tennis, and auto sports? But of course. There are even categories for your self-selected Favorite Teams and Trending Games.
More than the Score
For example: Are you a Major League Baseball fan? Get the latest game scores, both finals and ongoing, with a few touches of the screen. Then go deeper. See the linescore, a scoring summary, winning and losing pitcher, and team records. Tap on the Stats page to see the complete boxscore. There’s even a play-by-play accounting of the entire game. This kind of detail is available for just about any sport you can think of in this deep app.
Make your pick
No need to surf the Web to get breaking sports news
Select the Team option from the menu and it opens up a new screen with tabs for Team Info, News, Schedule, and Settings. Use the latter to create adjustable alerts for your favorite teams: game start, game end, score change, quarter or inning change, etc. You can have the app send you noise or vibrate notifications, so you’ll know when to get to a TV, pronto.
What’s the Story?
Of course, there’s always something new coming out of the sports world, whether it’s a player injury, trade, team scandal, or just a star’s latest weird tweet. Sportacular pulls in links to the top stories from sources such as Fox, ESPN, Yahoo!, The Sporting News, league websites, and more. Share the hot-off-the-presses news and scores with your friends via e-mail or social media.
You Make the Call
Sportacular lists the latest odds on each game. But just for fun, there’s also an interactive feature available for most games in the app: a live poll of fans regarding who will win that contest. As soon as you make your pick, you’ll see what percentage of people agree with you and how many think you’re all wet, complete with a U.S. regional breakdown of the voting. There’s also a Check-In section where you can make comments about the game and post them to Facebook, so you can trash talk to your heart’s content. After all, you know the score.

*************************
espite what you might think from the title, this app is not a first-person shooter spectacle. Hot Death is an innocent app based on the classic card game Uno. Or is it?
With cheating options and cards dubbed Hot Death and Virus (complete with a skull-and-crossbones logo), this is Uno from your nightmares. Deal the cards and it’s you versus the two computer players (there is an option to add a third). Play your cards as you would in Uno. When you get a wild card (such as those mentioned above, or others such as like Harvester and Spreader), you can make things interesting.
One of the most entertaining aspects of Hot Death is all the options. Pick a speed of play, select a cheat level (watch your opponents to make sure they don’t pull a fast one!), and even adjust the strength of the opposing players (options include Nice Guy, Jerk, and Sadist). Then make your opponents eat Hot Death!
