A refreshed, rebranded, thoroughly revamped and much improved ESPN app is now available for download in the App Store.
ESPN 4.2 brings universal support for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, a thoroughly redesigned interface and long overdue support for the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus screen resolutions.
The updated software now combines the ESPN SportsCenter app for the iPhone and ESPN ScoreCenter for the iPad into a single unified experience, now rebranded under the new ESPN App name.
The software offers access to ESPN Now, “up to-the-minute ESPN photos, videos and social media content” that can be accessed by swiping away from the news section.
Another new feature: you can now access Cricket World Cup content within the app, just as the international championship kicks off in Australia and New Zealand, including scores, game highlights, videos and more.
ESPN Radio with live audio broadcast is available through both ESPN App (just tap on the On-Air tab and hit “Play”) and ESPN’s Apple TV channel.
To watch live action on any ESPN channel simply tap on the On-Air tab.
