Snubbed again (of course) - No NCAA tourney app

[MikeSo]

Was hoping against hope that maybe the NCAA would have an app for Windows Phone, but no such luck. This is why I can't recommend WP to anyone I know. Oh well, maybe next year!

Sadly, I have to agree... not for this specific app, but because this is all too common an occurrence.

I guess it could be worse - if they had an app for BB10 already, that would be REALLY annoying.

Honestly though, this kinda stings. It's one of the, of not THE, most prominent live sports streaming events there are, and for Windows Phone to be left out of it is a shame.

Should really say something about no "OFFICIAL" NCAA app...we will have a Trouney app, and we had one last year...but it wasn't official, so you couldn't stream.

These are the type of things MS should be throwing money after...LG was a sponsor for the Android app...Nokia could sponsor the WP App

Same deal with MLB at bat 2013 though.

Sounds like an job for a third-party dev. Of course, as Curtieson stated there was an app last year and there will likely be one this year. As long as it displays what really important (scores and bracket standings) many could care less if its an official app or not.

I personally could do without all of the drama-queen stories. I could care less if so-and-so player had a tough life. WHO DIDN'T?????

The non-streaming stuff, I can get that in the web-browser, I don't care if there's an official app for text and pictures. I am of course referring to an app for the live streaming of all games.

Don't normally harp on grammar...but you did it twice, so...

Could NOT care less.

Doesn't look like it's available for Android either

because of half the links taking you to the Google Play store? haha. I thought it was pretty obvious it was on both iPhone and Android.
